I know this is last page discussion, but I'm on my second wireless laser mouse right now (actually, it's a VX revolution I got for my laptop, but since the left click button on the one that came with my MX3200 set decided it wants to work only whenever it wants I'm using it on my desktop). Anyway, if you're all complaining about rechargeable batteries not working, well you need some better ones. I've been using Rayovac 15-minute rechargeable AAs for two years now. They last easily a month in my mice, being used at least 6-8 hours a day. They also work wonderfully in my cameras and they charge quickly.

Although, when I originally got them they were cheaper, especially the charger.

Traded in my busted RAZR for this:

Sony Ericsson W380i

http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/4159/asdsdafad8.jpg

Came with a 512MB card and adaptor, has FM radio (wish there was AM for sports radio I listen to) and the raised track controls on the front with a hidden front display.

Kinda neat, it cost me a whopping 1¢ images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

. I wanted the W580i, but wasn't a cheap phone for my contract deal.

Cool. My phone is a lot less cool but looks similar (W200i) and does pretty much the same. How come you only paid 1 c though?

Because he probably either signed a contract or had a handset upgrade offer from his carrier. Kinda like how the iPhone is now only $199.

devil500 · August 7th, 2008, 07:49 PM

It's going to feel a bit bigger then your average wheel, but it's going to take you a while to get used to it's many options but it's a class wheel I love mine images/smilies/biggrin.gif

My dad just got back from the 'States, so that means goodies from online shops! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

First off is a new memory card for my phone that should be able to hold my entire music collection plus some videos:

Next is a 2x1GB DDR kit that will bring my desktop's memory to 3 GB (I'm going to have to send a complaint letter to G.Skill, though, because the box did not contain Speed Racer, nor any information as his whereabouts, despite what the packaging led me to believe):

And finally, a Wi-Fi detection shirt from ThinkGeek (animated to show its illuminatedness):

H0nzik · August 7th, 2008, 09:48 PM

^WOW That is the most nerdy piece of clothing I have ever seen images/smilies/blink.gif

chaos386 · August 7th, 2008, 09:53 PM

Why thank you! images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

I should mention that it shows the strength of the signal as well.

EDIT: I am now beginning to think that expensive "high speed" memory cards are a rip-off, since my run-of-the mill Class 4 microSDHC card had read and write speeds of 16 MB/s when I filled it up. That's just over what Sandisk claim for their Ultra II cards, which are quite a bit more expensive.

IceBone · August 7th, 2008, 11:40 PM

I've seen better. Like the graphical analyzer that actually detects sound in your vicinity and does a little animation. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Also: Entire music collection on 8GB??? Come on... The CDs I bought take up more (compressed) space than that...

IceBone · August 8th, 2008, 12:20 AM

Some of us are more picky when it comes to music. Mine has grown significantly in the past year and it's only up to 15 gigs.

mgkdk · August 8th, 2008, 04:08 PM

I bought a sigma 10-20 mm lens while on vacation in Norway (prolly the only thing that was cheaper up there, bloddy expensive country)

vRS · August 8th, 2008, 07:56 PM

Bought a new 120gb HD for my Thinkpad. Going for 2x1gb RAM next.

Also got some iPod speakers. Will post pic when I get home.

NecroJoe · August 9th, 2008, 03:39 AM

While those EQ shirts react to noise, all it does it bounce the bars to sound...you won't see a bass frequency bounce to a beat, and then see the treble frequencies bounce...the ones I've seen only react to any sound.
