...blurred the distinction between important and much less important. Tim Russert, Suze Orman, Miley Cyrus, etc., among the most influential people in the world? Really? The trite small-mindedness behind some of your selections is really astounding. The world is home to about 6.6 billion people, and Americans account for less than 5% of that total.

The Roku device found my wireless connection immediately and asked for my password. I watched video by logging into my Netflix account (you'll need one, which also entitles you to rent-by-mail DVDs) and adding movies and TV seasons to my "instant" queue; they show up on the Roku box almost instantaneously.
