Thank you for my regular reminder that I don’t need a new TV :-)

Just a friend’s house enjoying the massive size and sumptuous colors of his new TV, which spends several seconds displaying the WebOS logo as the TV boots.

I don’t need an incentive to watch more TV and I’m not sure a TV that takes as long to boot as my laptop is something I want.

This whack-a-mole approach is never going to do more than scratch the surface of data harvesting and consumer privacy.
