@desapar: I don't fault you for caring about pretty looking hardware, but there are options out there. Truth is, most windows users won't pay an outrageous amount of money to have a shiny white case on their computer when they can get a similarly specced machine with less prettyness for $100+ cheaper.

@Adam Bath: I agree wholeheartedly. Speak with your wallet, it's the only language businesses understand.

VOTE: TrueCrypt

@joseph.f.sapienza: You know, there's nothing wrong with that name...

@timgray: Agreed. Anyone considering this should do some research on paypal horror stories. I've read stories where thousands of dollars have been tied up, or accounts canceled (and all money in them retained by paypal) with little recourse for the owner of the funds.

@Adam Metzner: Netflix is focusing on speed and availability over quality for streaming media. For the videophiles and home theatre enthusiasts, blu-ray definitely still has its place.

@random_droid: I thought the John Mayer song sounded bad because it was a John Mayer song

@Alexander Riccio: LOL

@kettlewhistle: it's probably employees who don't get the business model giving you dirty looks.

@lostarchitect: I do something similar. I put a .txt file in the root with my name, and in the file I put an "if found please contact" statement.

@Big_Mikey99: Actually, I agree with you in principle. In practice however, I've had two Xboxen RRoD on me when sitting on a pretty wide open shelf in a temperature controlled environment.

@BishopBlaize: never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers

@Ryanrule: We live in a specialist society. Business people know business - that is, the dollars and cents of things. They don't always see the forest for the trees with such a narrow outlook.

@SuperTuna: Precisely. Like he said, too little of a necessary thing is bad.

Brilliant setup, but I do things a little different to make it more customizable on the go. If you're using iTunes, USE THOSE STARS. You can change a star rating on an iPod.

@Phoshi: Google reader is awesome. Mobile access to your feeds is great. Now instead of just playing with your cell phone when you're bored and waiting for something, you can log in and read your own personal newspaper.

@atomic.resistance: lostprophets, trapt, Theory of a Deadman

@saga915: I LOVVE my ZuneHD, and I anticipate that's what you're referring to. You don't want the old school Zunes.

VOTE: UltraMon

To be perfectly honest, I generally ignore 5 star reviews. By the time I'm reading reviews, I have a good idea of what the product should do in a perfect world. Now I have to figure out just how perfect the world really is.
