I absolutely HATE Circuit City but even I will still go there if they have the lowest price on something. The last item I bought there was an iPod Nano for my wife for Christmas last year. The freeking sales drone kept hammering away at me about buying the extended warranty. I refused time and time again (at least 4 times). You see, according to the drone, the iPod batteries only last a year and the warranty will pay to replace it. Well, that surely surprised me seeing as my iPod Video battery is going strong well over TWO years. I was seconds from handing the Nano back to him and going somewhere else but, luckily for me, he got distracted by another victim.

I think I'm not that different from many tech savy people. I buy most of my stuff off the interweb. I will buy from the local B&M store, however, for several reasons: They have a lower price or they actually have an item in stock that I can't find online. The item is something that I'm concerned about having to return if needed. The item is simply larger than I want to have delivered (plasma TV or the like). The item is something that I want to actually put my hands on before buying (but I still might go home and buy online).

I want! That thing looks awesome. You'd never have to leave your bathroom.

Let's see...I could use a phone for navigation and have to hold it in my hand. Of course, the phone has a very small screen compared to my 4.3 inch Garmin and whenever I get a phone call I better hope that I remember where I've got to go because unless I'm on speakerphone I won't be able to look at the map. I'd also most likely have to give up the touchscreen feature since most phones don't have that. I could go on and on but why bother? A phone based service will NEVER replace a stand alone or vehicle integrated GPS system. I really can't understand why some people insist on having every device they own combined into one inferior unit. The only concession I make to this is that my Garmin will also play MP3's. I use this only for audiobooks. It's by no means a replacement for the trusy Video iPod.

1998 just called; they want their music player back. You'd think they could do better than a silver square box.

Wow. Slow news day, eh?

Ahhh....I don't believe that HD-DVD is a failed technology. It's simply a technology that was trampled into the ground by the Likes of Sony and their buckets of money. The technology is actually quite good. Sony just happened to be in the market for some payback after loosing in the Beta vs VHS wars.

Read the story carefully. What it states is: "Xbox is not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Association to integrate Blu-ray into the Xbox experience." That doesn't mean that they weren't EVER in talks with Sony, just that they aren't at the present time. Maybe the deal has been done already? I know, far fetched but....?

Ohhhh, listen to the story of a man named Jed, a poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed. Then one day he was shootin' at some food, and up from the ground come a bubbling crude.... and so on.

It's all about me people!
