The one thing I know is that I am typing on an HP Laptop right now, a laptop with a dead battery that only lasted a month and a bit when I first bought it. Now I am running around the internet looking for a pile of hp batteries before they all get scooped up.

I can't wait until the only thing left on the market are those good quality imports from Asia. I have already been using one at work and it works about as great as I imagine this one does.

Lets take the big box store which shall remain named as Future Shop. They had to have 100 employees working and I couldn't find anyone to help me for about 15 minutes or more. I literally had to interrupt a guy watching a movie in their speaker stereo room to get some help. Nice start. I bought a pair of speakers from them recently, Bose. They had no matching speaker mounts that would accommodate them. Nothing. I noticed they sold tons of Skull Candy headphones but when I asked about replacement buds I was told they exist but they don't carry them. The college kid working told me they were thinking about it. I guess I will go to eBay and buy them from China for .01 plus free shipping. I didn't even bother asking about tv information. There was one guy in that section and he was talking on the phone. Future Shop isn't bad if want to watch a movie with the staff for the afternoon, get 15 people to help buy a cell phone or watch 6 other people stand around the front check out cash. How do they stay in business?

The locally owned store was a piece of work as well. It didn't matter what product I was interested in the 1970's greasy Herb Tarlek look a like would tell me that I didn't want that one. You see I needed the one that 10X the price because that is what he has at home and it's great. Love the outdated commissioned salesman. After about 10 minutes of that I felt violated and went home and had a shower.

I think I am going to stick to my old way of shopping online and dealing with the consequences. I've made out allright so far doing it that way. I don't know why I thought I needed lazy college kids and greasy used car salesman. Already tonight I have been reading led tv reviews online and have figured out a couple of models I like.

Don't think you need a holder for your iPhone 4? Think again. The Podsta allows you to set your iPhone or iTouch on the table or desk in front of you and watch you tube videos, view your play lists or run your apps without having to have it in your hands.

It's made of a soft material that may remind you of a stress ball. This means that your phone will slide in and out of it with ease, unlike those hard plastic holders. To put it into portrait mode you simply just have to turn it over on it's side and you have a media screen right in front of you. The picture below is how I use the Podsta at my work desk during the day to check email and play my music. I just have to reach over and touch the screen. I don't have to pick it up and hold it to my face.

They say a picture says a thousand words but this promo video for the Podsta speaks volumes. You can see it action and view the different colors available. One last bonus about the PODSTA, the price. The PODSTA is only £9.95 + £2.00 shipping within USA & Europe.

This is what my tv started doing a couple of weeks ago when I first turn it on. It's pretty annoying. Lasts a few minutes at most and then goes away. If I get enough energy I will give the tv a little shake and it fixes itself. It only happens when you first turn it on and goes in spurts.

Any ideas?

"An answer has yet to be found for all users, who began reporting the problem last Friday after watching the upgrade stall two-thirds of the way through the process. Most users said that their PCs had displayed an error that claimed the upgrade had been unsuccessful and that Vista would be restored. Instead, their PCs again booted to the Windows 7 setup process, failed, then restarted the vicious cycle."

You can't even gat back to your crappy version of Vista. I am starting not to believe the bald guy with glasses on those commercials. I was routing for the underdog for awhile but I think maybe he's not being 100% upfront. Here is the full story with lots of links and reading for your entertainment purposes. I love the line on page 2 which states that this isn't on the list of top concerns for MS. Classic. How do I get my XP back?
