    Link to product: http://www.alexiafoods.com/products.html?category_id=8 (second one down) I was at Costco the other day and picked them up on a whim since I'm a fan of oniony snacks like funyuns or other onion ring chips. They're amazing, they essentially taste like the bloomin onion or...

    I love hummus

    Anyone get something from Amazon's Returns Center?

    I bought a present on Amazon, the item was ordered from them, not a third party. I received the package today and the return address is the Amazon Returns Center. I did a search on what this might mean, but as far as I can tell it means I received a customer return. Has this happened to...

    Q9550 price drop is here!

    Currently Newegg and Mwave have the Q9550 in stock for 339.99 Given a tray price of 316 per 1000, this is a bit of a price premium, but if this has been holding up your new build like it has for me, you might as well jump on it. If you use Microsoft Live Cashback...

    Yet another way to waste time at work

    You guys might have seen it mentioned on digg a few weeks ago. When the game servers first came up, they were overwhelmed and the game was incredibly slow. Since then, a lot of new servers were purchased so the whole thing is pretty smooth now. I've been playing it the whole time, and I find it...

    Bleh...ethernet controller problems
