We like technology, really we do. (Yay, technology!) But we confess that David Pogue's latest wet dream, recounted in today's paper, leaves us a bit flummoxed. It seems there's a new gizmo that, when hooked up in your house, allows you to watch your home TV anywhere you can get a WiFi signal to your laptop — or even a cell signal to your Treo. ("Now you can watch your home TV anywhere you can make phone calls — a statement that's never appeared in print before today (at least not accurately)," Pogue proudly proclaims.)

Now, we suppose we appreciate that we'll never again have to forego being lulled to sleep by the dulcet tones of Chuck Scarborough, even when we happen to overnight in far-away cities. But here's the thing: There's technology to take Chuck with us wherever we go, and still no once can figure out how to get a Time Warner guy over to fix the damned cable anytime in the next week? Priorities seem just a bit out of whack, no?
