<![CDATA[How Many Is Too Many Boxes In Your Entertainment Center?]]> After seeing how stylish, tiny, and yet unstackable the Boxee box's design is, the staff had a lively debate about the growing number of boxes sitting underneath our TVs. How many do you have, and how many is too many?

Long ago, we started worrying that the death of the physical movie format would not mean a time of peaceful media-less homogeneity but an infinite format war of subscriptions, separate collections and logins. Today, it's come true.

I've only got an Xbox 360, PS2 (sometimes you just need a little Sly Cooper, nah mean?), and a Roku, but others on staff have all three current-gen consoles, Blu-ray players, HTPCs and all kinds of other things—so where does it stop? How many is too many?

<![CDATA[Are You Comfortable With Google's Level of Control Over Your Data?]]> Chrome OS, Android, Navigation, Voice and DNS...these are just some of the ways Google has increased their control over our digital lives in recent months. Are you comfortable with the increasing level of control Google has over your data?

What do you think the future will hold (i.e.will Google end up creating sentient robots hell bent on destroying mankind)? [Image via BustedTees]

<![CDATA[One Third of People Send Naked Pictures of Themselves Using Cellphones—What About You?]]> Here's some data to think about before sending that next picture of yourself neekeed (aka sexting): 17% of the recipients forward the image to someone else. But how many people have actually sexted?

A third of young adults have sexted at least once in their lives. Almost half of those saw it as a normal sex practice, while the rest thought it was a "serious problem" but did it anyway. You know, because if you do these things, you will eventually go blind and get pimples.

The data came from MTV's latest sexting survey. And that begs the question for our Gizmodo readers is: Have you sexted*?

I will start: Yes.

<![CDATA[Do You "Get" The Chrome OS?]]> Today we got our first glimpse at Google's Chrome OS and learned what it's all about. So let's start a discussion about some of the big issues.

1. First and foremost, do you "get" what Google is trying do do here? Does it make sense? Is it a good idea?

2. Google OS will be available first on netbooks, and only netbooks starting in a year. Do you think netbooks will even be relevant a year from now?

3. Google also mentions that the first generation of the Chrome OS will focus on secondary machines. Do you even have a need for a secondary machine, or is one computer with a traditional OS enough?

4. Google notes that web browsing is the most important function of a computer . Without it, many of us probably wouldn't use a computer for much in the first place. So my question is, how much of your time spend on a computer is completely offline?

<![CDATA[What Do You Think Steve Jobs' "Blood-Curdling" First Name for the iMac Was?]]> The guy who came up with the name iMac said that Steve Jobs had a terrible first name for it. So bad it would "curdle your blood." However, he didn't say what it was. What could it be? My guess:

The Macternet! OK, that doesn't really curdle my blood, but I'm sure you will do better in the comments.

<![CDATA[Do You Use a Mac Or a PC As Your Personal Home Computer?]]> Now that Windows 7 and Snow Leopard are both out in the wild, it is time, once again, to take stock of the state of home computing. That is to say, are you using a Mac or a PC?

Before you answer the poll, keep this in mind: work machines don't count. Presumably, you made a personal choice between a Mac or a PC for your private computer—and that is the one we want to know about.

<![CDATA[Has Your Windows 7 Install Been a Great or Miserable Experience?]]> We love it, but there has been a lot of frustrated twitter chatter about the install experience for Windows 7, so it seemed like a good idea to ask—how has your install been going?

Feel free to elaborate/vent about your experience in the comments.

<![CDATA[Who Should We Blame for the Anticlimactic Balloon Boy Saga?]]> After a thrilling chase sequence, Balloon Boy was found...to have never been in the balloon in the first place. We're glad he's safe, but now the question comes: Who's to blame for this whole catastrophe?

Stevie Safran cleverly notes in Twitter that "Balloon Boy's parents say he won't be grounded, fail to recognize ironic choice of words." But somebody's gotta be punished for this, right? All kinds of public servants (EMTs, FAA, police) came out, on the taxpayer's dime, for something that turned out to be totally unnecessary. So who's to blame?

<![CDATA[Your Choice: A Universal Media Tablet or an E-Ink Reader?]]> E-ink readers are great for book replication, but can't play back video. A tablet like Microsoft's Courier or the Apple Tablet may not handle books as well, but can do it all. Which is for you?

<![CDATA[Which Flavor of Wi-Fi Do You Use?]]> The 802.11n spec has been in the news a lot lately. After six years, the spec has finally been approved, and we shall soon see wireless N coming to the Xbox and maybe even the iPod Touch.

It seems funny to me that wireless N is finally coming around despite the fact that I have been using it for years. But what about you? What Wi-Fi standard do you use at home?
