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...
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...
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?
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...
Note: It appears in2tv is AOL Television, and viewing video requires you to download a Hi-Q Delivery Manager application. I'm guessing I'm not the only one here weary of installing anything by AOL.
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...
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)...
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.
I'd like to hear some prices, if anyone's actually finding good deals. So far I haven't found anything close to a great deal, especially when compared to what I've been finding with kayak.com - highly recommended if you haven't used it before.
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...
Buy.com has a the same adapter but with the Kensington brand for $15.99, eligible for free shipping. Amazon has it as well. The Kensington version has a 1 year warranty.
REI has a Franzus All-In-One International Adapter for $17.95 that has the same plug adapters (UK/Europe/Australia/US) and...
Regarding warranty issues:
Buy any laptop like this with the stock one-year warranty and purchase with a Platinum Visa or Mastercard (or similar card) that has the automatic extended warranty benefit (check your card benefits) where they tack on up to one year for warranties up to one year...
It appears that if you choose wireless, you don't get ethernet & 56k. Can anyone confirm this? I see no mention of ethernet & 56k in the review, either.
Giving up both wouldn't be terrible as long as you have wireless, but still..
Got a 71.X.X.X IP here and can't call regular numbers. 800 numbers go through fine.
Notified Skype Support. Hopefully they're working on a fix. Here's the submission page if you want to add.
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.

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...
If the Staples offer is the same price but with free shipping and only $50 MIR, that sounds like a better deal - especially in states that pay sales tax. Anyone have a copy of the Staples ad?
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...
www.djdeals.net has them for $179, and the E4 if you want them in black for $183. Similar pricing on the other models as well. Plus, free shipping makes this hotter.
To clarify, you need to sign up for this offer to get the 5% cash back.
And fine print from the signup email:
Earn 5% Cashback Bonus on retail purchases made online from 11/25/05 ( or the date on which you sign up, whichever is later) through 12/31/05, subject to a cap of $500 in...
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...
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.
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. Some people complain about them too boomy, which doesn't really apply to those of us who are low-frequency fanatics (read: bassheads). In short, I'd rather have them in my ear...
Most Koss products include a lifetime warranty and these are no exception. From their website:
"Your stereophone is covered under the Lifetime Warranty Policy. To have your product serviced, please send the stereophone along with $6.00 each ($7.00 Canadian) shipping and handling to the...
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...
Price is $79.99 with a $50 MIR. I was so impressed by this thing I wrote a review on Cnet for it, listed below:
"I had learned about this device a few months ago and thought it was a great idea, but doubted it's ability to be effective beyond 30 feet or so - basic hotel room range. I just...
Has anyone tried the other one listed made by Cyclone?

Looks like a better design being one piece for both 2.5" and 3.5", and says it includes a power adapter, though there's no pic.
These would be very handy for pulling out...
Getting bored and restless is all ego: The mind coming up with all kinds of distracting thoughts, like other things you could be doing, good or bad times you've had in the past, things you can do tomorrow or next week or next month when this you're done with this stupid meditation thing... all...
