Electronics & Computers Deals here!The 404 414: Where we eat Snow Leopard for dinner
Wilson's back, but we figure everyone is tired of hearing about the Apple Mac OS X Snow Leopard by now, so we shift gears and talk about Walmart shoppers instead. Behold: a new blog documenting the People of Walmart. While Wilson "Tennessee" Tang thinks this all looks pretty typical, Jeff and I are straight up spooked. It's humiliating enough to set foot in a Walmart, but what if I just need to pick up deodorant? Now I have to worry about being publicly humiliated on this blog too? And who brought that goat into the store?
After our rant is over, we move on to dissect a few upcoming movies like James Cameron's newest science fiction CGI powerhouse, "Avatar." The weird part is that James Cameron has been planning this movie for 10 years but hasn't been able to make it because the technology just wasn't there. Well, now it's here...and the movie looks like a cheesy cut scene from Halo. Next up on the butcher block is "Cirque de Freak: The Vampire's Assistant." Don't get me wrong, I love me some John C. Reilly, but a convincing vampire he is not. When was the last time you've seen a bloodsucker with curly hair?
The rest of the show devolves into the three hosts doing vampire impressions, which isn't incredibly hard to do, just follow these three steps:
- Talk loudly and open-mouthed
- Raise the intonation of your voice at the end of every sentence
- Don't forget the "AH AH AHHH" at the end

Why would they go to the trouble of creating their whole line of products, say drinks, to drive people to buy the more expensive version? If their brand didn't exist... everyone would be buying the more expensive drink anyway. I mean, right?
Just thought I would point that out. I couldn't care any less about anything apple makes besides the ipod touch. I just wish the Itouch had a bigger screen ya know? something to REALLY get your hands around while browsing.
Glad I could be of help.
I just bought a 24 pack of Poland Spring water for $3 for college...
That's crazy I mean that doesn't even cover shipping for a 10 pound case.
I get the whole buy in bulk to receive a discount but still that's crazy ... $3.

- the Saw movies take 30 days to make, and they have signed until at least Saw IX. The odd thing is... the main character died in third one, lol
