In order to cut it's losses for now a legacy format, Amazon is doing what it does best - giving you what you think you want, for cheap. Today, they're hooking up HD-DVD owners with big discounts on several big name HD-DVDs. Damn! They've even got "Batman Begins" and "V for Vendetta" up in there. If I was one of the stupid ones who got their hands on an HD-DVD player "back in the day", then this is a no brainer!

Booya. Here's a Newegg double whammy. These guys are awesome. They've got a 640Gb external HDD for $90! Holy cow. I've been expecting 500Gb drives to drop to this price by now but this a pleasant surprise all right! I'll take a 640Gb any day for under $100! The hardrive on show today is a Western Digital Elements HDD. I personally own the 500Gb version which works like a charm on my Macbook. I highly recommend picking up this harddrive if you need more space or just need an external storage solution!

Finally. A memory card that is sub $10. I don't know about you guys but $10 seems like the top of Mt. Everest to me. Anything below $10 is always jumped on, but anything above warrants a loooonngg pause. Today, in the sub $10 category is a Kingston 4Gb SDHC card. It's going to be a matter of time before these things are virtually given away for free with new cameras! There seems to be confusion with the pricing of this product but I guarantee you that you won't pay more than $10 including shipping! Also, when it comes to SDHC storage, please make sure your device supports it!

I've always loved the Nokia E-Series. My first smartphone after my Motorola Razr was in fact a Nokia E-61. It was hard to part with it after I got an iPhone, but I did eventually. The latest in the E-Series is the E-71. Holy Cow, this thing is skinny as hell. I haven't actually held on in my hand, but I can't wait till I do. This is an amazing deal for a formidable smartphone!

Hmmm. This is an interesting deal. Up for grabs is a 22" Viewsonic Widescreen Monitor that doubles as an 720p HDTV. To make the deal even sweeter, there's an ATSC/NTSC/QAM Tuner built in. I don't normally endorse refurbs, but I can make an exception this one time. This deal has certainly turned my perception around for a new TV. I can't decide if I want a large flat screen or a monitor/tv combo? Anyways, here's the deal I found. You might want to do a little due diligence before you think about picking this one up. This display isn't for everyone.

Holy Cow. This is serious deal all right! Parallels is a popular virtualization solution for Mac users. Even I used it for a while before I canned it for Boot Camp. Anyways, they are offering a killer deal for 9 apps, including Parallels, for $50 for a limited time! All these apps combined retail for almost $300!!!

The deal is called "Parallels Green Computing Bundle" and it includes Parallels Desktop for Mac ($79.99), MacScan ($29.99), PasswordWallet ($20.00), Macintosh Explorer ($15.95), Macaroni ($9.99), Drive-In ($39.00), PageSender ($39.99), Default Folder X ($34.95) and docXConverter ($29.95).


If you don't care too much for the other apps, then this is a good deal just to get Parallels! Offer good till 9/30.

So, it's finally here. At least in one incarnation. I'm not going to lie, before I was an iPhone fan boy, I was very excited when I first heard about the Open Handset Alliance and it's love child, the Android OS. In a shocking announcement a couple of weeks ago, T-Mobile announced that it was releasing the G1, the world's first Android powered phone, in conjunction with HTC.


There is definitely excitement in the air with the release of the phone and more importantly the release of the much awaited Android OS. Enough talk. Videos!

Hey! Amazon has a Blu-Ray Player for sale! Blu-what? Sony is mad that their format winning technology isn't being adopted as fast as they would've liked. Anyways, what Amazon has is apparently last generation. Like I would know what that means. Hopefully, this deal will mean something to those who actually give a crap. DVDs still rock my socks!
