    2.5 inch 80GB Travelstar SATA Hard Drive $22.69 after GCO

    I'd say $62.69 is about the going rate. You can get a Toshiba 80GB 5400RPM 8MB for $59.99 free shipping at ZipZoomFly. Here's their list of notebook drives: ZipZoomFly.com. Also on there: Hitachi 100GB 5400 SATA for $72.49 Hitachi 120GB 5400 SATA for $78.99 I'd spend the extra $15 and...

    Creative EP 630 in-ear earbuds $10 (AR, GCO)

    Here's my review of the EP-630. As it mentions, the Sennheiser CX300, which these may be clones of, came very highly rated by Consumer Reports - but even if they aren't identical, in a post I read (can't remember what forum) by someone who has both, he claimed that he could not tell the...

    2.5 inch 80GB Travelstar SATA Hard Drive $22.69 after GCO

    Available again but now it's $62.69 after Google Checkout discount. I think they mispriced it the first time around and pulled it to reprice. $22.69 for an 80GB notebook drive is pretty ridiculous. Anyone get one?

    HOT?? 40AA batteries and 10AAA batteries for $9

    You probably mean NiMH. Ni-Cads are all but extinct to consumers. There are new ULSD (Ultra Low Self Discharge) NiMH rechargeable batteries out there like the Sanyo Eneloop, which comes pre-charged and keeps 85% of it's charge after 1 year, so you can use them in flashlights and remotes as you...

    4 Lenmar AA Rechargeables + AA/AAA wall charger <$16 shipped

    I've used the Lightning Pack 4000N ($25+S/H) from RipVan1000 for years, in several different countries. It has a built in discharging/conditioning function (selectable with a switch) and it doesn't overheat the batteries when charging, in fact I think a review on one of the digital camera...

    Updated: $100 T-Mobile ToGo refill card + free Nokia 6030 phone for $100 at Target

    Note that with the $100 recharge card for 1000 minutes, T-Mobile prepaid ends up costing $.10 a minute (plus $.10 outgoing text, $.05 incoming). At that rate, if you consistently use less than 300 minutes a month (figuring the cheapest plans are about $30/month for ~300 minutes = $.10/minute)...

    HOT - FREE PRIVATE PHONE NUMBER & VM - ACCESS VM: ONLINE, BY PHONE, BY EMAIL - FREE FROM NETZERO

    Can you receive email notifications of new voicemails at a non-Netzero email address, i.e. Yahoo? AIM Phoneline offers a free service like this, but the only way to find out if you have voicemail is to log in to their site or to AIM, which isn't exactly practical.

    SD MP3 Player w/256MB SD card $5 AR

    For the player to only play at 32kbps would be idiotic and I imagine more expensive to implement. My guess is that the either it plays all mp3 files up to 320kbps and 32kbps is a typo, or that it has an unmentioned mic and can encode voice audio to mp3 at 32kbps.

    Here's the closest thing I've found to what I have, although at a comparatively outrageous price at $42.95 - but it may be worthwhile to anyone who really needs to be able to plug in anywhere in the world. This kit is actually nicer than mine in that you can choose between a bulkhead with a...

    Fujitsu 80GB 2.5" Notebook Hard Drive $80 shipped!

    4200 RPM would be fine if you're just going to throw this into an external enclosure for extra storage. However, I think paying $16 more for a 3 year warranty and 5400RPM is definitely worth it. ZipZoomFly

    Presario V2000 notebook $349.99 AR

    Just called my local Staples (Portland, OR). They have the AMD version of this (V2000Z?) for $399 with only a $50 mail-in rebate. Wireless and the rest are extra, of course, and he wasn't sure on how much, but I would guess wireless is $25.99 as that seems to be standard with these models...

    Presario V2000 notebook $349.99 AR

    Airfare NY London $149 ? lots of others!

    The fares are one-way. You may be able to find some decent deals, but I checked out a flight from Chicago to Paris and it was $800+ going with the cheapest available fares. They listed a fare of $230 or so, so even if I got that, the cheapest roundtrip would be over $500 after taxes. You can...

    A damn hot deal for bibliophiles

    Great find if you want to create a personal library of classic literature as there's a lot there - and not just fiction. E-books may be had for free, but paper books don't crash, run out of battery life on a plane or create any concern on sandy beaches. That said, I've recently rediscovered...

    36 pack Double A batteries- $4.99

    Do yourself and the world a favor and get some rechargable NiMH AAs instead. Chances are you won't even use all 36 batteries anyway before some go bad, and if you would, then that's all the more reason to start using rechargeables.

    In sink hot water dispenser H-770

    Interesting. At a time when energy prices are expected to increase up to 50% with concern that some people might freeze in their homes this winter some people choose to install something as indulgent and wasteful as this because they can't wait 60 seconds for hot water. Very, very interesting.

    Opinions of the plug style vary. Some people complain about them not realizing they don't have them inserted properly.

    Moto ROKR iTunes Phone $99.99 AR w/free ship

    There's a key difference between the ROKR and the V600 (in addition to the ROKR being non-flip) and that is that the ROKR is only a tri-band GSM phone where the V600 is a quad-band, meaning it can be used in any country overseas. It may not matter to some people, but for people like me who...
