When you search for "${", the page is missing 26 lines of minified JavaScript (lines 9-35 of a non-broken page, at least for me), almost certainly because of a templating bug. These lines, among other things, are responsible for adding the

Great feedback, definitely constructive; thanks for taking the time. I suppose I'm not 100% decided on which market I'm trying to serve: 1. Site owners interested in users going to the wrong URL. 2. Domain speculators wanting to get data on

I have one of the Logitech units. If I could use it to access Hulu, I would use it almost every day. Since I can't, I'm considering unhooking it for the electricity savings.
