New LCD HDTV and Amazon Down
I bought the Samsung LN37A330 37-inch 720p LCD HDTV
. Pretty good TV and I got it at an awesome price (just over $700).
However, as of about 1:30PM eastern, the site seems to be down. It's very unusual for a company/network like Amazon to be down this long and to even have that type of outage. At the very least, you'd get some clever 404 page that was really the company logo and an apology. I hope my order doesn't get screwed up...

receiver + lcd hdtv = :( **update**
I'm sure you don't care, but I still haven't replaced the broken LCD TV from my previous post. Here's the sick joke that I'm living with right now. Not really, because I just watch TV in another room on a slightly smaller LCD TV.

receiver + lcd hdtv = :(
I was trying to fix a really random issue that makes my subwoofer go from good sound to a horribly loud constant hum this weekend. See this receiver?
It sits on a shelf just above my Olevia 37" LCD HDTV. Nothing fancy, nothing special, but gets the job done display:
I always just pull the receiver forward, tilt it down a little and disconnect whatever, as needed. Except this time, the receiver decided it wanted to lunge a little closer to the screen, resulting in this horrible mess:
and again:
By the way, this has nothing to do with tech or anything, but I was working outside and caught this big-ass spider crawling around:
