Ok, added:

Camera - Digital p&s. Pentax Optio 7MP waterproof camera. Barely ever use it.

GPS - Garmin Nuvi. Got this for Christmas. I wish my Mom hadn't wasted her money, I will never use it.

MP3 player - Zune 80GB red. Love this thing.

Gadzooks, I'm rich! The Gaming Moderator with a useless GPS unit has inspired me.

Here's the idea: A USB device that looks/acts like a GPS unit that maps FPS,MMUD games and Active Worlds as you play or tour them. It monitors gameplay and maps the level as you move through it, keeping track of relative direction and distances within the virtual world. You wouldn't have to flip to map screens in play (if available) you could just look at the GPS.

For a small fee, one could download maps for various games to the unit if one is inclined to cheat.

Do it! This would be awesome for MMOs.

Library? Internet cafe? Friend's house? School? Web-enabled phone?

If you're going to have "neither" why don't you have "both"? For lot of those I could answer "both".

I wouldn't have figured the quad cores & DSLR to be such a minority here.

The only thing on that list that I don't have is an MP3 player. I've never found them all that compelling. I do own a very old discman, from back when they still had enough power to drive reasonable headphones. It's over 10 years old, & was my first (and only) CD player.

quads offer verry little over Duals for gaming, + C2Ds are cheaper and easy as hell to OC, many people look for the best Bang for $ and OC the crap out of things

DSLRs well just arnt for everyone

How's your daughter?

The little wench had an Apple Christmas, a macbook and a new iPhone. I didn't even get a Secret Santa gift :(

I talked her & her BF through unlocking their iPhones last night, so I guess I really only own 4 iPhones.

If you're feeling lucky, ask olds for a pic of his daughter that's modeled for jetboats in a bikini, she's smoking hot.
