Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
I submit the following suggestion to the Engadget staff:
Every time you have a story about magical HDMI cables that jack directly into your brain or whatever, please just include a link to monoprice.com in the article. You educate your readers and you save all the commenters the trouble of doing so later.
Seriously though, does this marketing method for HDMI cables actually work? All this stuff serves no practical purpose WHATSOEVER, and they still bring this stuff out. I don't get it.
