Did you hear the news? Roku just announced a new box, the Roku 3, complete with a faster processor, dual-band Wi-Fi, and a headphone jack in the remote.
Still missing: YouTube.
It's borderline crazy that a box that can stream every video service you've ever heard of—and plenty you haven't—doesn't support YouTube.

No more. I don't know what changed, but now when I select a new tab, what appears is my home page."

I've never been a big fan of Gmail's browser-based interface. Although it's improved over the years, it's still cluttered, disorganized, and often unintuitive.
