Or you could get a new MacBook for $728.
If you're a University of Maryland student. Or, y'know, are willing to lie about it. |

More Steam deals. Over the holidays I got Defense Grid and Braid for $2.49 each (though I don't think those are active anymore). And they've got some one-day deals going on right now. I saw Race Driver GRID (fairly new racing game, good graphics) for $15. Also there's Jade Empire for $3.75, Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor for $7.49, and a lot more.

Just a head's up. I found this article, linked from Yahoo's homepage.
It's about big price cuts on TVs leading up to next Sunday's Super Bowl...Walmart, Best Buy and others cutting prices $30-900(!) on various brands and models. Might be of interest to some here. |

Gah, I always feel like I'm in the market for a new tv - I hate it. Good deals always make me want to go do research and buy a new big screen. I just wish mine would break so I could finally do it.

I'm shocked at how affordable they're all getting. I don't follow this stuff in any serious, hardcore way (it's only when I walk into a Target, Walmart or Best Buy that I see 40-42" models getting down into the $500-600 range that I think back to a few years ago, when nothing was under $1,000).
But, at this pace, come Christmas (or sometime in 2011), getting a ~40" LCD TV shouldn't be that big of an expense? For someone who's still got a little 24"(?) off-brand tube TV of so-so quality/clarity, that's something to keep in mind. Off-topic (click to toggle):

Me too, but the source link says you can do it through the PSN web site. I was just wondering how since I don't go to my PS3 that often.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood. I thought that you may have thought it was only available through the link in source. My bad.

I remember people freaking out about how customers don't care about HD and how most people will never pay a premium for such a niche, high-priced technology. Those people seemed to have forgotten about that last word, technology and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Paying for HDTV is out of the question for me. It might have enticed early adopters, but it is the norm now. |

Speaking of deals, I just picked up a digital VOM + transistor checker at Harbor Freight for $3. For my purposes I don't need a Fluke or anything so I'm quite stoked to find one so reasonably priced. Also stoked to have a Harbor Freight in the area.

There's a new nanoBundle over at MacHeist.
MacJournal (personal journal / info organization) RipIt (DVD ripper) Clips (clipboard manager) CoverScout (iTunes cover art tool) Flow (FTP app) Tales of Monkey Island (all 5 chapters) RapidWeaver (website creation) all for $19.95 (a $266 value). Usually a couple more apps are added on as the 7 day timer clicks down as well. 25% of the purchase price goes to charity (11 to choose from), as usual. So it goes. |

Purchased. I'd rather buy this bundle and get the latest RapidWeaver vs upgrading the version I have for more money. I now have Coverscout and Song Genie so I'm set there. Flow is interesting to me as well. omgwtfbbq |

Yeah, I'm excited to play with RapidWeaver. Don't know if I'll ditch Transmit over Flow, and I already have RipIt, but hey...a measly 20 bucks. I'm in.
So it goes. |

I always get the macheist bundles now. Almost every time, 3 or 4 months down the road I'll need some random app. and it will turn out I have a registered copy of some shareware app. from a Macheist bundle that does the trick.
I'm still using Acorn from one of the bundles, an awesome photoshop lite. Google is your frenemy. Caveat Emptor - Latin for tough titty I tend to interpret things in the way that's most hilarious to me |

Rapidweaver has a lock symbol on it, like Monkey Island, but it doesn't say what "unlocks" it. For monkey island it's 50,000 downloads, anyone know how Rapidweaver gets unlocked? It's the application I'm most interested in, so I want to know if I'd actually be getting it or not .

I know some people were interested in this (I know I am but am not ready to buy yet). There are refurbished 27inch iMacs at the apple store. Both quads and the Core 2 Duos. The quad is a pretty sweet deal at $1699.
