sarcast: created chat room "Deals" on Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:21:01 +0000
sarcast: (17:21:04) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GearFactor/~3/312976364/rumor-claims-ni.html
sarcast: (17:21:18) how is this diff from the other SLR on the market?
sarcast: (17:21:30) there's the D80 and D300 or something.
sarcast: (17:21:39) how is the compared to the rebel?
mothball: (17:28:50) I dont' know. I don't know much about Nikon.
mothball: (17:29:15) It's probably not much different from the other SLR's. I'm sure they'll make a few minor improvements.
mothball: (17:37:51) Logitech Ipod Audio Station w/AM-FM Black $19.97 AR: http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=r4s/SmWXHCs&offerid=101304.2487787&type=2&subid=0
sarcast: (17:39:15) ...rebates....sigh...
mothball: (17:44:11) yup. the only drawback.
sarcast: (17:53:30) i hate rebates.
mothball: (18:01:49) They are ok. I only deal with them when I really need the product.
sarcast: (18:07:13) rebates should be illegal.
Tue, 17 Jun 2008 00:01:20 +0000
mothball: (17:23:01) doesn't hurt if you don't use them.
mothball: (17:35:11) If you need RAM: Crucial 1024MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz Memory $18.99
mothball: (17:35:22) http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=r4s/SmWXHCs&offerid=101304.1558820&type=2&subid=0
mothball: (17:38:03) Hard drives are finally dropping in price.
sarcast: (18:01:03) if i don't use rebates, I feel gipped.
sarcast: (18:01:20) have you bought a HD ye?
mothball: (20:08:27) I meant it doesn't hurt if you don't participate in the rebate deals.
mothball: (20:08:32) what HD?
sarcast: (20:10:06) hard drive.
mothball: (20:13:40) oh. no, not yet.
mothball: (20:13:53) I haven't been working on my photos yet. I want to start again.
mothball: (20:14:12) huge price difference on the iPod stereo. I wonder if there is a difference between these two.
mothball: (20:14:19) http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=r4s/SmWXHCs&offerid=101304.2487787&type=2&subid=0
mothball: (20:14:24) http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=r4s/SmWXHCs&offerid=101744.4205984&type=2&subid=0
sarcast: (21:30:41) they look the same.
mothball: (21:31:02) that's what I thought.
sarcast: (21:31:07) i guess I'll order when I get home.
mothball: (21:35:54) Looks like my wife wants it, so I just ordered one for her.
mothball: (21:36:02) If you use Google Checkout, you'll save $10.
sarcast: (21:58:20) wow...I want one too...
mothball: (23:13:43) get one. maybe it'll be more incentive for you to come over.
Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:01:26 +0000
sarcast: (00:43:42) come over?
sarcast: (00:43:50) rebate? sigh...I'll do that when I get home.
mothball: (05:10:38) hahaha . . . I promise it won't hurt to be away from the cleaning lady for just one weekend.
sarcast: (15:19:07) who's gonna open the door for her? close it after?
sarcast: (16:40:06) http://macsurfer.com/redir.php?u=335897
sarcast: (16:40:09) great deal!
mothball: (17:24:23) Not bad! I like this price war.
mothball: (17:25:26) I might go check it out just to confirm that it's not going to do what I need it to do.
mothball: (17:25:42) And if that 's the case, even $125 is too much for me.
mothball: (17:27:30) I don't understand it. People keep giving the Instinct good reviews. But none of the reviewers understands its functionality. I think all the reviewers are just trying to sell referrals. The reviews are practically useless. Just eye candy. So no, I'm not hyped up about the Sprint Instinct at all.
sarcast: (17:30:18) confirm that it's not goign to do what you need it to do?
sarcast: (17:30:42) well, that's the thing I noticed too.
sarcast: (17:31:50) your wife's phone is pretty nice.
sarcast: (17:31:57) it's very small.
sarcast: (17:38:06) the instinct seems to be able to do exactly what the user want...but it's very closed off compared to the other smart phones. you may as well wait too. I think sprint may also be getting gPhones too.
mothball: (17:48:11) yah. I don't have any problems waiting. With my track record, I won't be surprised if I still use my A900M in ten years.
sarcast: (17:50:21) yeah...you're getting ripped off...sprint loves you.
mothball: (20:13:33) how's that?
mothball: (23:26:40) would you get a Sony PRS-500 for $90?
sarcast: (23:30:05) hmm...does it only work with it's bookstore?
mothball: (23:37:09) don't know.
mothball: (23:40:03) here is the specs: http://www.sonyrewards.com/en/redeem/product/index/4/?pid=FRPRS500U
mothball: (23:40:25) you have to make a decision in 12 minutes.
Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:01:33 +0000
sarcast: (00:44:26) hmmm...I good. I have been using my palm and iPhone as a reader. I am waiting to see if there is an apple tablet or a better kindle. Will you be getting it?
mothball: (16:47:58) too late. deal is over. there was only 12 minutes to decide.
sarcast: (19:39:56) oh well. I have enough gadgets. did you pick one up?
mothball: (19:51:23) no the deal was over. I was asking you whether it was a good deal, but you didnt' get back to me.
sarcast: (22:04:18) oh...oops. It was if you are only looking for a reader. I should have gotten it.
mothball: (23:10:51) that's ok, I felt it was a little too limited. a tablet where I can read and write is better.
sarcast: (23:49:15) that's waht Iwas thinking too.
Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:01:39 +0000
mothball: (17:00:11) Is refurbished 2 GB iPod nano for $79.99 cheap? http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=r4s/SmWXHCs&offerid=101744.10005114&type=3&subid=0
sarcast: (17:18:08) yeah, that's pretty cheap.
sarcast: (17:19:21) http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nplm=FA978LL/A
sarcast: (17:19:25) this is better.
mothball: (21:35:32) yah, I think that's better value.
sarcast: (22:48:03) are you considering getting it? I just ordered a keyboard from apple.
sarcast: (22:48:20) I decided the 5 -year old powerbook is still powerful enough for my needs.
mothball: (23:56:19) no. I probably won't ever buy an iPod for myself . . . unless Steve Jobs starts to think more like me.
Sat, 21 Jun 2008 00:01:44 +0000
sarcast: (15:03:14) I see...what does Jobs need to start thinking about?
Sun, 22 Jun 2008 00:01:51 +0000
mothball: (09:30:19) for one, he could redesign the iPod so that I can move music/sound files between my computer and the iPod at will, without using the iTune software.
mothball: (09:31:00) #2, he can use a standard mini-B USB port and a standard 4-pin Firewire port, rather than the proprietary iPod cable.
sarcast: (15:35:35) http://www.techbargains.com/news_displayItem.cfm/125575
mothball: (17:30:30) nice. hard drives getting cheaper and cheaper.
mothball: (17:30:51) Looks like that Sony Reader for $90 was a good deal. I haven't seen it below $200 since.
sarcast: (18:35:28) yeah. I am waiting for kindle to become cheaper and look better. It ugly than the newly crowned ugliest three-legged one-eyed hairless dog.
sarcast: (18:35:53) yeah. I am waiting for kindle to become cheaper and look better. It ugly than the newly crowned ugliest three-legged one-eyed hairless dog.
sarcast: (18:37:36) but if you want just a reader, that was an excellent deal. Even at $200. But I like that knifle had input. Look for kindle to challenge the UMPCs.
Mon, 23 Jun 2008 00:03:44 +0000
mothball: (16:13:20) right.
mothball: (16:13:35) for an excellent deal that that, thought, I'd sell it.
mothball: (16:57:33) Vizio VS42LF 42" LCD HDTV $744.97: http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=r4s/SmWXHCs&offerid=101304.3776656&type=2&subid=0
sarcast: (19:51:48) i was gonna go buy one this weekedn but my mom said wait...so, I wait...
sarcast: (19:52:22) you mean you'd buy the sony ebook and sell it?
mothball: (22:31:10) yah.
mothball: (22:31:20) why did your mom say to wait?
Tue, 24 Jun 2008 00:02:02 +0000
sarcast: (15:27:08) i have no idea. I sure she'll change her mind this week or next.
mothball: (16:52:03) Vizio VO47L HD LCD TV - 47", 1920 x 1080, 1080p, HDMI, 16:9, 5 ms, ATSC, NTSC, S-Video, HDMI In (Refurbished) $999.99: http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=r4s/SmWXHCs&offerid=101304.3856050&type=2&subid=0
sarcast: (17:02:20) wow, that's cheap...alas, my mom can't decide nor will I try to change her mind.
mothball: (17:28:14) I saw a bluetooth headset that could be converted to stereo headphones for $45 today . . .
sarcast: (17:32:51) yeah? it's all too much for me. I'm so behind.
mothball: (17:37:46) are you going to get one before July?
mothball: (17:44:04) Is this the same price as Apple Store? http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=r4s/SmWXHCs&offerid=101744.10005114&type=3&subid=0
sarcast: (18:41:26) http://store.apple.com/us/product/FA978LL/A?mco=MTMwMzA
sarcast: (18:41:29) http://store.apple.com/us/product/FA978LL/A?mco=MTMwMzA
sarcast: (18:42:00) the cheapest refub iPods I've noticed are from Apple. for newer stuff, you can look else where for it.
mothball: (19:33:11) We got the Logitech iPod AudioStation yesterday.
mothball: (19:33:17) My wife is thrilled.
mothball: (19:33:29) It's better than I expected and worse than I expected.
sarcast: (19:45:02) that's great. I didn't get it..hate those rebates.
sarcast: (22:31:05) know of a deal for an int hard drive? Mine at work is making these scratchy noises and I think it may fail.
sarcast: (22:31:08) thanks.
mothball: (22:48:54) how big you want it?
sarcast: (23:30:29) it's for work so it doesn't matter too much to me.
mothball: (23:50:46) do you have a minimum size in mind? Or will 10GB do???
sarcast: (23:52:51) yeah, I'm gonna need more than that. but I just realized I have a couple of 60GB ones at home.
sarcast: (23:53:20) I will use those instead. I"ve been worry about what I wanted to do with them. This would be a perfect situation to use them.
mothball: (23:55:53) yah, use them up, or they'll be wasted in a few years.
Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:02:14 +0000
sarcast: (05:51:08) yup...I hate that good things that still work but are somewhat obsolete...thanks for takng my laptops.
mothball: (18:22:53) yah, no problem. Let me know if you want it back. They are all fixed up and quite usable now. And I have a lot of laptops, so just say the word.
sarcast: (18:26:41) nope...don't want it back.
sarcast: (18:26:58) i'm glad you have uses for them.
mothball: (18:27:16) Maxtor OneTouch 4 Lite 1TB External Hard Drive - USB 2.0 $169.99: http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=r4s/SmWXHCs&offerid=101304.3925572&type=2&subid=0
sarcast: (18:30:21) that's a great deal.
sarcast: (18:30:33) i've been seeing that price all over.
mothball: (19:52:37) yah, price is finally starting to drop.
sarcast: (19:56:49) yeah, 'bout time. it's been steady between $200-$220. it could go lower if the economy continues to tank.
mothball: (20:02:39) really? that's good. I will need one in a month or two. Definitely after September.
sarcast: (20:31:05) haha...I'll wait like a year or two. i spent $220 on mine. I'm good with it for a long while. One thing Notice about putting a stop to requiring bigger and bigger HD...
sarcast: (20:31:13) stop upgrading to new technoloyg if you can help it.
sarcast: (20:31:44) I wouldn't have needed this 1TB if I didn't get the HD camcorder.
sarcast: (20:33:01) one thing about the Mac OS though, the new OS going to be slimmer in size by 30-40% over the new one. I think that's incredible. Apple has said they'll send a year to increase efficiency. I think all software companies should do the same.
mothball: (20:34:02) that's very interesting. I have never heard of software getting smaller.
mothball: (20:34:36) Maybe Apple will actually lead a trend that I'm interested in for once.
sarcast: (20:34:37) me neither.
mothball: (20:35:23) It's not the new technology I'm afraid of. It's the amount of photos I got.
sarcast: (20:39:37) DVDs...that's what they're for.
sarcast: (20:39:56) what software do you use to organize them?
mothball: (20:53:49) no software.
mothball: (20:54:04) DVD's aren't big enough, as I pointed out in my "Photo Storage Solution".
sarcast: (20:54:40) oh...o well then...
sarcast: (20:55:00) i don't take nearly ehough pictures. I don't go out that much
Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:02:21 +0000
mothball: (01:12:32) well, you have a very similar problem with your HD video.
sarcast: (15:21:50) yes, that's too bad.
mothball: (16:17:31) are you going to get a headset for your phone?
sarcast: (16:23:21) no, I'm good with what I've got.
mothball: (16:24:52) what you got?
sarcast: (16:24:53) I'll just lose it eventually.
sarcast: (16:25:21) I'll be using the ones that comes with the phone. look at how cool Jason Bourne looks without the bluetooth.
mothball: (16:31:11) oh the wired one. . . . yah, that's what I still use.
mothball: (16:31:48) must not be that cool, cuz I don't remember it.
mothball: (16:32:02) ;-)
sarcast: (16:33:53) truly? that's good.
sarcast: (16:34:02) those noise cancellation ones do look good.
sarcast: (16:34:10) but they're sitll expensive.
mothball: (16:34:44) I have a Jabra one that I got for my old phone. I still love it, because it has no mouth piece . . . so it's like a NSA thingy.
sarcast: (16:34:46) I'm not on the road enough to justify it.
mothball: (16:35:01) what does the noise cancellation do?
sarcast: (16:35:11) which model?
mothball: (16:37:23) you mean mine?
sarcast: (16:40:49) right
sarcast: (16:41:26) I'm not sure. I've never used onel. I'm guess ti's the same as the jaw-bone ones.
mothball: (17:01:41) I don't know what model . . . It's been like 10 years . . . I have never seen it again after I bought it.
sarcast: (17:07:07) I see.
sarcast: (17:07:20) that's pretty good. I have a jabra but i t hink the battery is dead.
mothball: (17:37:16) a wired one? it uses battery?
sarcast: (17:42:38) no, bluetooth.
mothball: (17:44:16) oh ok.
mothball: (17:44:25) so you already have a head set.
sarcast: (17:50:57) Yes. we also have a motorola one too.
mothball: (17:56:51) well, then you are all set.
mothball: (17:57:16) from your e-mail, it almost sounds like you needed one.
sarcast: (17:59:58) no, I jaust want to see how others are doing this. I had thought about blogging about it.
mothball: (18:24:48) so are you going to blog about it?
sarcast: (18:30:55) probably :)
mothball: (19:42:35) nice.
mothball: (19:42:52) you can also blog about me jumping off a building, once I'm gone.
sarcast: (19:53:21) okay...it is about mobility...
mothball: (20:26:39) Sure. tell them how I was able to use my A900M while jumping off the building.
sarcast: (20:49:46) hmm...interesting...you can't...
mothball: (20:51:50) why not?
sarcast: (20:53:53) i just odn't see it...
