Owner is saving for a couch (Kevin Rose said this after his cover story in a magazine)

Not that I didn't believe you, but I wanted to hear it for myself. I finally found it on Diggnation: http://revision3.com/diggnation/2006-08-03/

06:30 - They start talking BusinessWeek's cover story: "How [Kevin Rose] made $60 million in 18 months"

06:50 - Rose: "Here's the deal - I don't have 60 million dollars. I don't have 1 million dollars. I don't have any thousands of dollars."

Note: they bring up the couch because the episode starts off talking about Kevin moving out and the lack of furniture in his new place.

In reality, I suspect very few people actually notice what is going on in the ad. Ironically, they /will/ get a lot of 'wow' but mostly from the virality of the video and maybe award submissions. Which means they need not have produced the actual signage but just the video and probably would have achieved the same result. But that would have been too easy to earn them any publicity. How meta.

OT, but in CSR Racing and many "pay to avoid waiting" games, there's actually a bug where if you move forward the time on your device, the game thinks the time has passed and gives you the free gas.

I think its due to the perception that TVs work for a long time without failure, and hence hold their value since they can still be used for many years to come.

Because having both a DVI and a HDMI port is redundant. HDMI is backwards compatible with DVI so you can convert DVI <-> HDMI easily, but not VGA which is analog.
