I've been shopping myself...

Don'f forget Audioengine's D1 (C|Net review: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-57364964-47/audioengines-terrific-tiny-usb-dac-headphone-amp/ ) It's only $169!

only drawback might be that it's USB powered (meant for you lappy) but you can just get a $0.99 USB ac adapter almost anywhere.... :)

Mail and facebook, by far, are the worst culprits. There is nothing more frustrating than being 500 words into a work email only to lose the whole thing. For this reason, I no longer write emails on my iPad. Jerks, you could at least auto-save drafts!

Haha Jason, I see that now... Totally missed days 1 through 7!! This is great! Thanks :)

What kind of ceiling is $2500? lol, you 1%'ers! ps totes want that fridge, but it'd be nice if it tweeted you when the milk goes bad...

I have an XBox ($199), Roku 2 xs ($100) and Sony SMP N-100 ($50). The Sony has the most features of the three, but is last years model so get it while you can! It uses the PS3 like menu system, and has pandora, slacker, crakle, qrosity, hulu, amazon, netflix etc etc.

Roku is great for the bedroom because of small footprint, and playing angry birds is fun but that's about the only game they have for it. I found mine for 50$ at a tech conference (look around!)

Xbox is actually a great media player. its not really for the living room, but it gets the job done.

From the other end: what makes all of these KILLER is DLNA support, google that and you'll find you can get apps for your ipad, android phone, linux/mac/pc laptops etc, allowing you to stream anything to any of those devices (or even from device to device in some cases)- thus allowing you to cut the cord entirely, so you never have to lose the use of your laptop because its plugged into the tv. Google PS3 Media server for PC/Mac/Linux. Get Twonky for android. Get Media Connect for ipad/ipod/iphone.

final tip: android and iOS all have apps that work as remotes for all of these devices! check them out too!

I got AGloves last year and I LOVVVEEE them. Super cheap, super functional. Like many of the other gloves on this list, however, they aren't particularly THICK so in the dead of winter in the north east, you might want something thicker if you are going to spend significant time outside using your phone. But for the price, A+

haha yea, no offense, but the only game programmer that has a house like that is... well... I Don't even know but it aint no game programmer! lol. Nice job tho, looks gorgeous! What's the game?

1. The owner of the room in the first person should seriously be institutionalized. 2. The author of this article better have a real quirky sense of humor. 3. I pray that the people from numbers 1 and 2 are not the same person.
