I don’t know a lot about harddrives but I do know enough to see that Mac-ready drives are the biggest price-gouging scam that all major storage manufacturers seem to be running. If you’re a Mac user that can justify paying $10-$30 more for a process you can complete in Disk Utility in 30 seconds (formatting), then you’re an idiot.

This is news to me: It turns out that the $29 “upgrade” version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard is just the same as the $169 full install version that Apple is selling alongside it.
So whether or not you’ve got Leopard or Tiger, you can just buy the cheaper $29 version and get crankin’.
Simon, wanna split this $29 fee in half so it’s even cheaper for us? Haha…
Actually Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard

Mike Harding has created a website called Coffee By Week to track his coffee consumption through the end of the year.
You can click on each day of the week and see how many coffees he’s had. Mike also tracks the total of cups of coffee and how much he has spent on coffee which has so far totaled over $1000 for 199 days. I’m afraid to even begin tracking my own coffee consumption habits because I feel like they’d be greater than Mike’s.

I know a lot of you who have been waiting for this phone to come out, so you’ll be glad to know (if you haven’t already found out some other way) that the pricing of the BlackBerry 8900 (previously codenamed “Javelin”) will be quite cheap!
Here’s what it comes down to:
Those are some really good numbers if you’re looking to get a BlackBerry but don’t really want to shell out for the price of the Bold. Come February 11, you can head on over to your T-Mobile dealer and get one! Whee!

Nikon’s flagship dSLR, the D3X, is an $8000 beast that can shoot images at 24.5MP. It’s impressive, sure, but some are wondering if Nikon can justify spending $8000 on a camera that a Canon 5D MK II can do (and more) for $2700. Plus, you have lenses and flash units, and well, pretty soon that $8000 base price turns even an ordinary Nikon enthusiast into Hitler.
Of course, the movie scenes in the above video are taken from Der Untergang (The Downfall) and subtitles are changed to depict what Hitler might say if he were speaking English (the German audio is in fact still attached). Funny thing is, I never ever really had a reason to watch this film, but now I’ve just added it to my Netflix queue and I’m gonna see if it’s as good as everyone says. Plus, I also want to see what this particular scene actually said.

Nobody’s doing well during these hard economic times, and that includes Gray’s Papaya.
Starting this week, their famous “recession special” which includes 2 hot dogs and a drink will be sold for $4.45. In the past several years, the price of the “recession special” has gone up 3 times! This totally sucks because I consider hot dogs to be a cheap meal and paying anything near $5, even for 2 hot dogs and a drink, is not something I’d necessarily call cheap.
They need to change the name of the “recession special” to plain old “2 hotdogs and a drink”.
