HOT! Verizon Wireless Off-Peak Minutes All Day on Christmas Day!

BostonRedSox, are you sure of your claim? I remember my minutes quickly fading away on Verizon last year on Thanksgiving. I could be wrong, but AFAIK, holidays are not considered off-peak, unless otherwise advertised (such as today). Perhaps Verizon permanently changed its policy, but I would...

Earthlink DSL or Cable $29.95 for Six Months.

I have a couple of questions for those of you who were Time Warner Cable Modem subscribers, and who switched over to Earthlink. 1. Do I contact Time Warner Cable first to cancel my account, or Earthlink first to sign up? 2. Do I actually have to return my cable modem to Time Warner (under the...

Matrix Reloaded Special Wednesday Evening Showtimes just announced!

One word: IMPRESSIVE It surpasses the original (yes, I think it's even better), but it may not yield the same impact factor because expectations are very high. If I were to quantify quality, I would say the sequel is not 3 times better than the original, but maybe 1.2x; this could lead to...

Does ANY COMPANY make a wireless keyboard with built-in touchpad and/or trackpoint?

Thanks, this is what I was looking for (with the trackball, that's even better). Hopefully, I can find some better prices, but can't complain really, since these things are SO RARE!

Does ANY COMPANY make a wireless keyboard with built-in touchpad and/or trackpoint?

I want the trackpoint or the touchpad directly on the keyboard (so I can take my keyboard onto my bed or couch and navigate thru stuff on the TV screen while leaving the keyboard on my legs). I know IBM makes these keyboards (and they are almost perfect), but THEY ARE NOT WIRELESS or CORDLESS...

Alias: Complete First Season $39.14 shipped

btw, I've just found out (even though the announcement was made over a month ago), Alias is coming back for a third season, cool! Seriously, Season 1 is a real masterpiece; I actually believe this show is too good for TV (plot, directing, special effects, and acting). And yes, there is...

Alias: Complete First Season $39.14 shipped

I would have to agree, IMHO, this is the best show. The plot went a little downhill since Superbowl because they wanted more people to watch the show and get into the storyline (they made everything way too simple and straightforward); nonetheless, it's still excellent. So yes, season 1 was...

Warm: Panasonic Portable CD/Mp3CD Player $50 Free Shipping

I second that; great battery, and excellent sound far outweight the lack of ID3 tags (I do believe the player does support folder +/-, so you can always group songs by album number by putting the songs in its respective album folder when burning your CD-R's). I use mine mostly in the car, for...

Sony MZ-N505 Portable MiniDisc Recorder $81.48 shipped

It uses one standard AA battery. To answer your other question, the USB cable is proprietary (like 90% of all digital cameras and mp3 players), since the connector on the MD side needs to be flat and small (the B connector of a standard USB cable is WAY to squarish and big). Once you get used...

Sony MZ-N505 Portable MiniDisc Recorder $81.48 shipped

Yes, that's correct, you just have to check the songs back in. The software is pretty efficient (it will begin converting/compressing a song while the previous file is being uploaded to the minidisc, thus saving time). In contrast, Windows Media Player (which I use to compress WMA for my RCA...

Hot DVD Deals- British Comedy Fans

You guys ought to check out "The Coupling", it's a really funny comedy show on BBC. The characters are hilarious. Get the first season on DVD; IMHO, better than Friends and Sex in the City combined together!

30% off preowned games or DVDs at ebgames.com!!!

I agree, I picked up a couple of $40+ games, saving me way over $20. Naturally, since shipping stayed at $5.99 for me, I also picked up a couple of cheap games. Too bad they didn't have Shinobi for the PS2; heck they did not even have Gran Turismo 3 used :P The last time they had a 25% off...

It came at a perfect timing for me, picked up a few games, and I was actually holding off until their next 25% off :P Not complaining, 30% off is ever better :)
