Comment on I Returned My ‘Smart TV’ Because the Apps Were Dumb by Chris
You're right. Widgets are pretty widget-y right now, but that will change. Though I think for social apps, the two-screen experience is the way to go.

Here is an idea that has worked good for me. Just buy a blue-ray player with a wi-fi connection like I did and stream your movie content through it. If that crashes you'll still have a TV. Furthermore, let's face it, not to bash Vizio but it isn't exactly at the top of the food chain when it comes to that type of technology. I got a Sony blue-ray unit with built-in wi-fi and it works perfect across my wireless internet. Try it out. Just an idea.

The Radar: Dickens Reading, Best Airports to be Stranded, Artifacts Returned
- Cozy-up inside Boston's historic Omni Parker House Hotel for an animated reading of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Actor Al LePage, in full Victorian dress, will present the story in the very room Dickens gave the first American reading of his timeless classic in 1867. Catch one of the four performances between November 26th and December 5th. Tickets are $18.67 and can be purchased online at brownpapertickets.com. Proceeds from the event will go to The Greater Boston Food Bank.
- The amenities at these airports leave us begging for flight delays. Matador's "20 Best Airports to be Stranded" includes Hong Kong International with its nine-hole golf course, 3D movie theater, and, yes, this is not a typo, free Wi-Fi. [Matador]
- Yale University and the Government of Peru have come to an agreement to have several artifacts from Machu Picchu returned by early 2011. After a lengthy dispute over whether the artifacts were removed from the country legally, the University has agreed to the return archaeological materials that were excavated by Hiram Bingham III nearly a century ago.
