    Johnny Walker Blue at Costco $160

    Samus, it is strange that would say: "Green label is aged just as long but doesn't have the character." Strange since Green is aged for 15 years but JW has never ever said just how long Blue is aged. Maybe that;s just because they consider it 'ageless' or maybe because you REALLY don't want...

    Johnny Walker Blue at Costco $160

    There is no 1.75 ml (minibottles are 50ml) There is a 1.75L (handle) but this was a 750ml, I am sure

    Johnny Walker Blue at Costco $160

    Not to rain on your parade, although the other blends of JW (Johnnie Walker) are priced fairly, except arguably for Gold, The BLUE is marketed simply for those that want a pricey 'display' boxed bottle to show off their 'good taste' and has little to do with what is INSIDE the bottle. No...

    NEWEGG Promos!

    Placed my order at 12:34 and the rep said it went through fine, and that I just made the cutoff which was at 12:47 They also said their system was not posting the credit properly but would in the near term and that I'd receive an email of the paypal discount FWIW

    Comcast "Current Cable Customer Special $19.99 for 6 months"

    Actually, it does not say that. It says: "Do you currently have Comcast Cable Television service? (Self-Installation is only available to customers who are current Comcast Cable subscribers. New Comcast Cable subscribers are not eligible for Self-Installation.)" Well, we are NOT new...

    Windows Vista Now Avalable at Costco

    Having never, ever, booted a Linux install in my life, I have to say that VISTA may be the biggest boon to Linux that there ever was. With the catering to DRM demands by the media companies that cripple the system and the insane pricing levels along with version purchase confusion, lack of...

    Cuisinart Burr Coffee Grinder, $24.99 w/ $5.00 instant rebate at Costco

    BTW, the whole point of a good grinder is to get a particle size that is uniform. Not dust, and not chunks. If you have a mixture of both, as in a cheap grinder, once you mix with the 'just off the boil' water to make coffee or espresso, you will find that the dust particles will overextract...

    To all of you that already own this grinder, please disregard the following. DO NOT READ PAST HERE! It will ruin your day. (but you will be on your way to better tasting coffee if you DO!) Its not a burr grinder as in a REAL burr grinder. True, it has 'burr' thingy's that are made to LOOK...

    HOT! Sceptre 42" 1080p lcd at Costco.com 1299+Tax shipped

    I am sitting at my desk in front of it as I type this. I can just touch it at arms length with my middle finger. It looks fine to me and no eyestrain here. But I do have to do some head turning to take in all the real-estate. I am thinking a 37 would be just perfect, as there would be less...
