    @lostarchitect:
    Welcome to the world of "better picture". Roughly translated that means, "if you were having trouble pulling it in before, we'll just turn it off for you right now".


    On the other hand, DTV OTA signals are carrying multiple sub-channels, while cable services only provide you the main ones (no -2's, -3's, etc).

    3.5M viewers must be blind and deaf to not know that they need a converter box by now.


    Also, The Price is Right is glorious in HD, even if Drew Carey is no Bob Barker. Plinko for life, bitches!

    @kylenalepa: The legally blind population of the U.S. is about 2 million, and the functionally deaf population is probably 500K - 1M.


    So we still need an explanation for the other 500K.

    One thing that I have encountered as very confusing to tech newbies is the word "flash".


    There are at least 3 different meanings.


    Flash memory
    Flash a BIOS
    Adobe Flash

    What I concluded after reading this list are: 1) People are confused about everything tech-related, 2) Therefore, this list is just comprised of the most common tech-related words.


    I mean, "Desktop"? "Ethernet"? Seriously?

    @tande04: Yeah most phone manufacturers that include PC/Mac software will refer to that software as their "PC Suite", I even got a "PC Suite" with my Sprint Touch Pro, all it really included was a user manual pdf, an outdated copy of ActiveSync, and the Win98SE USB driver...

    Of course, these are only the 10 most confusing terms in tech out of a total sample of 11 terms, that also included "television set." I guess most people know what that means.

    @DeadWriter:
    Some are, but it's pretty much impossible to surf many sites without letting some sort of beningn cookie land on your system, particularly if you want to submit information by some sort of posting system (such as this). The only site I can think of where you can post sans cookies is Lugnet.com.
