Micro Center has been offering the iPad mini (wifi-only) for $299.99 for a few weeks now. Almost seems like a permanent price-drop.

It's nice that OXM picked a Samsung PDP but based on my experience owning a 2010 vintage Samsung PDP, I'd do my homework on the pros and cons of PDP displays before shelling out for one.

Nice!

Thanks for the phone review, too. Nice to see WP7 making some headway against the bigger two mobile OSes.

I need to keep up on this stuff. If nothing else so I can make reasonable suggestions to coworkers when asked.

I've looked at Rainmeter, too. But, decided to hold off until I can get a 2nd external display (vs. using my laptop display as a 2nd monitor).

I've installed a VM of the Win8 dev. preview and played around with it a bit.

I don't recall which commentator it was or where (it was either over at ZDnet or TechRepublic). But, I agreed with them. The person commented that they installed Win8 on a touchscreen-enabled tablet device and that the biggest issue right now is that the Metro UI is just overlaid on the Win 7 desktop. There are too many situations where you're dropped into the old Win 7 desktop to do things. Which, if you're on a device that's relying heavily on touching to navigate, doesn't improve things from what's currently out there with Win7.

Nice find. I look forward to seeing your finished project!

You're also old when you remember saving data to cassette tapes.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that it must be purchased and shipped from a seller in Japan, the steps required and the price may not make this "inexpensive" but the Diagnl Ninja Strap is probably the best accessory I've bought for my m4/3 Olympus PEN E-PL1.

We will be keeping our current Four-at-time plus streaming plan. When I checked on the planned price increase, I found ours would only go up $2 per month.

It seems like the percentage of rate increase is worse for people with lesser disc-per-month plans.

Also, based on my use of the streaming service, I think the selection has gotten worse over time. I think Netflix is overvaluing their streaming based on the content currently available.

I think one thing they should seriously consider doing to avoid losing more subscribers to RedBox is to include BD titles in their disc based plans.

Looks like this is still "invite only"?
