    Motherboard clearance event at Fry's BM

    I was at the fry's near cupertino last week and they had just sold out of an i7 mobo/cpu combo. It was the i7 920 and the asus triple sli board, package was going for $450, basically $150 off. I was so pissed I didn't make it in on time - rep told me all 5 went in 2 hours.

    Valentines Day is coming up: 35 Long Stem Roses

    anyone have any experience with costco flowers? typically $65 on vday will get you a tiny vase with a small, if ornately arranged bouquet. 35 flowers is a much grander statement, but not if they come half withered, with a huge COSTCO label branded across the container :( also, do you have...

    Is there such thing as an honest used car salesman?

    Had an amusing experience today during a trade-in negotiation between myself and a salesman obviously very used to lying through his teeth. He was quoting me some bogus numbers that didn't at all match the research I had done, and when I called him out to produce some physical evidence he told...

    SONY MDR-NC60 $69.99

    quantities fluctuating is just a typical marketing ploy. they are probably sitting on an inventory of hundreds. seems like a good price for those headphones, but i generally avoid re-certified/refurb items simply because they were re-cert/refurbished for a reason, namely some inherent defect...

    China apologists

    uh, i don't see how this post necessarily has to belong in P&N. A few threads down there's the 'china revoking visa' thread that has garnered plenty of response. jumping on the 'let's link P&N cause we think it's so fucking witty to do" bandwagon is in a word, idiotic.

    Kanye West's Graduation $5 D/L @ amazon

    the album itself is hardly representative of his best work, but for $5 it's a steal. kanye does make the oh-so-short list of 'good' rappers, and can be counted amongst the select few living rap artists (talib/common/nas/andre) that understand their genre, develop a unique form/flow/vibe, and...
