I've just finished upgrading our News RSS feed to support formatting and (gasp) line breaks, assuming your reader supports those. Not that these news teasers use too much of that sort of thing in the first place, but it should make things just a little bit nicer.

Along the same line, the Forum RSS feeds have had several corrections applied, as their HTML support was just plain wrong. Both feeds now look better and validate perfectly!

I'm not finding as many remote control deals for Cyber Monday as I did on Black Friday, but here's some notable prices I dug up at Amazon:

I was unable to find ANY Black Monday specials for remotes at the usual suspects such as Best Buy, Circuit City, Dell, Buy.com, Walmart, Radio Shack... so if you manage to spot something, add a comment!

Heads up! Amazon has a couple of deals for Black Friday: pick up the Logitech Harmony One for $149.99 - that's $100 (40%) off the regular price. Or, get the Harmony 890 for $179.99 - that's $220 (55%) off of MSRP.

@10:00 AM EST update - turns out the Amazon remote control Lightning Deal for this morning was a Logitech Harmony 510 remote for $39.99 (60% off) - and it sold out in less than 2 minutes. Well, maybe there will be something else... head over to Amazon's Black Friday page and keep your eyes peeled!

There are new boards, renamed boards and top category changes. Here’s a complete rundown of everything that’s new! Read more...

this would be perfect if it didn't hide the number keys. I was just looking for a remote just like this because of the comcast boxes that are taking over the analog cable. Had a TV/VCR where the power code wasn't available. I hope one of the two...

"Adds 444 2-Way modules" - nice marketing talk from URC - the same functionality for a different brand receiver does not constitute a unique count - this number is way below 444 in reality

A little about Remote Central...
RemoteCentral.com
A
s home theaters become more and more popular, sooner or later everyone begins to experience the same basic problem: too many remote controls sitting on the coffee table. While a few such as those packaged with television sets or receivers may feature basic universal capability, it always seems there's a few buttons on every other remote that you're unable to program yet just can't live without. That's where a universal remote control comes in. One unit that can learn the signals for even the most obscure feature and allow you to finally, once and for all, put the rest away.
