Here's a neat little deal from Tigerdirect. It's a 4Gb PNY flash disk for only $14.99 plus $7.49 in shipping. I can't really vouch for PNY but their products I've come across have performed quite well. On the plus side, this is 4Gb of storage. That's huge!

These things are getting so darn cheap nowadays. My mouth is watering for a 250 Gb WD portable hard drive. My friend Emi got one over the weekend and Best Buy had it in White! Ok, that has nothing to do with this deal! :)

You better get there quick because it's going to run out! There are also big "Limited Time Offer" signs and that doesn't come easy for Apple.

Hey folks! I hope none of you have been seriously had today! I feel for a joke one of my professors pulled on the whole class, but besides that I've been left alone. Here's an April Fool's joke that stirred things up a little bit. Haha.

There have been quite a few April fools jokes. The biggest one today was when the iPhone Dev Team sold out and ceased working on the long awaited Pwnage tool that is going to set iPhones free all around the world. PSYCH! A lot of people definitely held their breath on that one! Phew.

Well here's to April Fools Day!

Michael Dell could be a genius if he developed this. Haha.

Evisu online is having a 50% off sale on select men's, women's and kid's clothes and accessories.

If you snag a pair you like for half price, then heck yea!

AT&T recently started selling refurbished iPhones at select stores for $250 for an 8Gb model. That's a jaw dropping price considering it sells for $400. Some of you may have heard the horror stories of how AT&T are making consumers jump through hoops in order to buy an refurbished iPhone. Background checks are often CIA grade, leaving consumer frustrated enough to forget about buying the iPhone.

Now, AT&T have extended selling refurbished iPhones on their website. I'm guessing it won't get any easier buying these things. There is also a rule that individuals buying the refurbished iPhone will need to activate their contract then and there (online), instead of the usual iTunes activation. AT&T and Apple are reeling after the number of unlocked iPhones have spiked since it was released last summer. They are not helping themselves by making consumers jump through hoops like this. Well done Steve, you really like shooting yourself in the foot.

If you are lucky enough to get your hands on a refurbished iPhone, what can I tell you? It's one hell of a deal. Stick to Steve and go unlock your iPhone :). Maybe then he'll realize that an unlocked iPhone is really a smarter way to go.

Here's a little article I ran across that I thought I'd share. Amazon, for a while now, has had this neat little promotion where a shopper gets basic shipping ("super saver shipping") free if an order is $25 or over. Sometimes, you want to an item and to your dismay it only added up to $24.99. If you could add a penny, you could save from having to pay $5-$15 in shipping.


Now, there are three ways to fill that gap. Sites are cropping up to help Amazon shoppers get the best "fillers". Fillers are cheap, inexpensive items, which are relatively useful. Some have included stationary, empty recordable media and so forth.

1. Add the secret code
After you search on Amazon for what you want, add &emi=ATVPDKIKX0DER to the end to find an item that gets you Super Saver Shipping.

2. FillerItem
Put the amount you need to spend to reach SSS in the box and select the categories to search within.

3. FreebieVille
A list of fillers from $1-$5.

Who knows, the filler item could be way cooler than the item were you originally planning to buy on Amazon!

This is a pretty tasteless marketing gimmick by Microsoft Japan to amp up Vista SP1 which is being rolled out around the world. Someone needs to body check the PR Dept at Microsoft Japan for coming out with toilet paper outlining Vista's SP1 features.

The puns from this marketing gimmick is endless with many users shunning Microsoft latest operating system. It looks like Microsoft is cutting it's losses and have set a 2010 release date for it's newest operating system, currently dubbed "Windows 7".

Personally, I downgraded from Vista to XP and I was running it on boot camp! Vista often sent my MacBook screeching to a halt. I'm guessing OS X Leopard enthusiasts are going to be the ones buying the most "Vista Toiletpapers" so they can laugh at Microsoft while "rubbing" it in at the same time.
