actually, it was a cole porter song, first made popular by artie shaw. good stuff. I'm inferring from this exercise that the point was: finding anything not "past 20 years" mainstream would be difficult. My usual test for this is to do a search for the band Firewater and to then do a...

I'm thinking about buying one of these in addition to my DS, but I'm not sure it's worth it yet. I love my DS, no problems, no dead pixels, and I have a few neat games that are innovative and fun. It's a little bit big (having been used to my SP), but then again, the PSP is bigger still...

I was a die hard Structure fan. After they changed their name, I felt metrosexual whenever I went in that store. I only go now for an occassional glance or if I know of a hot deal. True, it was always owned by Express, but so is Bath and Body Works, and I might go in there if they...

is this thing really 12ms rise and fall? thats almost 85Hz refresh, which beats my really old 21" crt! i haven't been following up on lcd technology since i bought my 1901 a while back. but i would buy this if it really is that fast. anything below 60hz bothers me for certain aps (mostly FPSes).

This is BS. I wasted my time both at noon and at 4 clicking at that stupid thing like mad. 200 units all gone at the very instant the clock turns. How is this a "reward" for loyal card members? All it does is make me angry that: a) I wasted my time b) I got my hopes up c) they are...

I guess very few people understand what "placebo" means? It's one thing to say that there is an enormous and obvious difference between cheap vodka and not cheap vodka. It's quite another to do a double blind experiment and prove that there is an enormous and obvious difference. I tried...

even if the PSP is $100, I'd rather get the DS. Nintendo makes better games, the DS is much more novel and creative, and I can't even play my damn old PS1 games in the PSP.

I love mozilla! i think two things people forgot to mention in addition to tabbed browsing, better default settings for security, etc. are: 1) it uses gecko! fastest rendering engine out there! way better than IE's 2) custom keywords WITH the ability to embed javascript in bookmarks! this is...

why do you any of you pay this guy any mind? he obviously has no clue. he even thinks that South Park originated the term "metrosexual" when it's been common jargon for well over a year. i'll have to check this out. I don't really like the quality on many of the banana/gap/express stuff, but...

i've played muppets party cruise on my friends PS2. its a pretty good party game, IMO better than mario party X didn't know it was on the gamecube, i'll probably go pick that up and a few others if i can find them :)

This sounds pretty cool, I might get one to try it. I remember back in the day when I used to play Quake (1) "professionally", we had huge problems mapping our keyboards. I had every key on my keyboard bound to something. which became a problem when I had to do something like hit alt and f4 (or...

I own a Tivo, and you may think that way now, but you are still stuck in the old paradigm of how to record shows. without the subscription, Tivo is not really worth it. It becomes a VCR without tapes, with the live TV pause/rewind features. with the subscription, it will change the way you...

i'm not sure about martin kogans, but i agree that martin logans are a bit transient. i still like them a lot though, just for their aesthetic appeal. if i could afford them i'd turn in my PSB's for martin logan's any day.

Some mention in the title that this is located in LA might be helpful... for me, the gas to drive down there makes it not hot :(

This is obviously some meaning of the word "cheap" I was not previously aware of. Looks pretty fun, but way out of my price range!
