Waiting turns out to have been a wise move. HDTV prices have dropped dramatically over the past year. In March 2005 the average price for a 37-in. liquid-crystal display (LCD) HDTV was a hefty $4,113; a year later, the average price had dropped to $2,333. Bargain hunters can find even better deals.

Despite the news-channel talk of a fresh threat, people have been trying for almost 20 years to blow up planes with liquid explosives packed in carry-on baggage. Terrorists, like movie studios and toddlers, don't like to try new things.

...PepsiCo, which owns Sierra Mist, says the commercial, which started airing in February, conveniently ended its official run on Sunday - three days before the foiling of the British terrorism plot was announced and "liquid explosives" became a ubiquitous term. But cable companies are scheduled to dribble out the spot ads until Tuesday, and neither Pepsi nor the normally irony-aware people at The Daily Show -which was still airing the commercial as of Thursday - are stopping them...
