The famous iPod music players will soon be history?

of course i saw it, and I dont have or want a cell phone, and I have never claimed eckstein was a great signing, and I think the Cardinals way overpaid, they did not overpay as much as the Angels did for Cabrera though, but maybe we shouldn't take this thread on to baseball
vansmack is really Hilary Rosen
or as much as the nats overpayed for guzman?

4 mil/yr?!

the guy's already lost at least one game because of his defense.

Canadian made cellphones are clearly superior.

Am I the only person in the world who would prefer one high-quality electronic device per function than two or three crappy combo devices?

Take camera phones: I have one because the phone was on sale, and cool, and my favorite design, although I had just made fun of people who have camera phones. But it takes sucky pictures with no exposure, and if I want to get decent photos, I have to buy a real camera anyway. I'd rather not pay the extra $50 now, and save it up to buy a "real" camera/phone/mp3 player later.

Maybe I'm just bitter because I was just looking up cable internet and was shocked at the $60/month pricetag. They try to sweeten the deal with "free webpages! seven emails!" etc., etc., but I'd rather do away with all that and just pay $40 instead.

Same problem when I was looking for PDAs. I wanted WiFi. I wanted space. I did NOT want an MP3 player. I already have an iPod. Why pay another $50 for a sucky feature?

Bottom line: no more stupid add-ons. Just lower the prices on everything.

Double Amen. And I do…one PDA, one phone, one ipod, one dig camera. Granted, I think it's easier for chicks – I can carry a purse and just throw it all in…

Let me guess uqe, Comcast?

SBC DSL is $20 a month (1.5 MB), $30 for 3 MB. I'm sure Verizon has something close to that.

Does Starpower still exist out there?

I got that new Verizon Fios service.
5mb down, 2mb up
Free Install
Free D-Link wireless router
$39.99 / month
i fried my D-link router playing games, so i no longer like them
No gaming for me….all i need it Internet, e-mail, remote desktop and vpn access to clients. D-link and Fios it the bill.

Pretty much all of the sub-$100 soho routers suck for one reason or another.

Man, that is scary. Do folks still shop at J. Crew? (You know I'm old 'cuz I remember when it was only a mail catalog retailer and it was the height of cool to get a Barn Jacket in bark….)
