@beanperry: You hear that?...

@kazillion: Best comment EVER.

@tasteskindasalty:

@Keebler: Not to mention the lack of stereo bluetooth support. For these prices, it's the least they could do. Also, acrylic scratches super duper easy. I hope buyers like their $300-500 speakers covered in scratches...

@EvanSei the noise is strong with this one: Me too... Also, I really really REALLY hate the big chrome plasticky looking trigger buttons on it's side. Yuck, the whole comically large chrome bezel is sooo tacky IMHO.

@SuperDance: Oh, and don't forget about the Nook's killer app, the ability to borrow books and AUDIO BOOKS from the local library! Familiarity is the best way towards adoption when in reference to a new technology!

@SuperDance: Have you REALLY looked at and compared the front of the two devices side by side from the POV of a elderly and sight impaired person, or more specifically her POV (you know her best after all)?... Is she tech savvy, or a luddite? If I personally, was elderly and suffered from deteriorating eye sight I…

@tylerbrainerd: Yeah, you profiled my GF pretty well, I'm guessing she fits into B&N's intended demographic for the Nook Color pretty well. She has never owned and does not currently own a smartphone, and refuses to get one because of the high monthly cost associated with ownership (understandable). Instead, she…

@Protocol X:

@Protocol X: BTW, I actually did a bit of online research before purchasing my GF's Nook Color. I even gave it a cursory play through just before buying it the weekend after release, which was enough to convince me that it was that good. Today was the first day I'd actually had an opportunity to play with it for an…

@Protocol X: Gah, you know what I meant smarty... :P

Yeah, I was just in the B&N by my work after work today to buy a easel case for the Nook color I bought my GF for Christmas. I planned on going in and buying it and leaving, but stopped and started to play with one of the display models... What started as a 5 minute grope quickly turned into a 45 minute play. I…

Yeah, it's used in stop motion animation from time to time. The sparks in control room in the Voltron Force Assemble skit from Season 3 of Robot Chicken were done by lighting bits of steel wool in between frames to produce the sparking affect coming from the control panels while they waited for the vehicle Voltron to…

@Ronaldo: Dunno, I just ordered mine today. I got the "Platinum" version for like $100 plus some change including shipping. I've done some extensive research on it, and it would seem that the Vulkano is only compatible with the HDD's that Monsoon sells on their website, so your plan to use the HDD's you have laying…

Seems to me, that the PS3 is the best place to get your OTB needs met. Best bang for your buck IMHO, what with Bluray, Netflix, and now Hulu + offered to ALL PS3 owners. Also, what about a review of the Monsson Vulkano? I'm planning on plunking down some money for this thing in the immediate future, and with all of…

@Bizdady: Ok, this post prompted me to google more reviews on the Monsoon Vulkano, and the second part of this review that I read a month ago, which was posted in August, was just posted TODAY! Here's the link:

@Celtic1888: Seconded, as a long time Sling user, I too remember their promise. Greedy bastards.

@Bizdady: I've had a Slingbox AV and their stupid Slinglink Turbo boxes (since my TV isn't anywhere near my router) for a few years now, and the only thing holding me back from purchasing their app for Android is the need to buy a new license every time I get a new phone. I've previously bought the Windows Mobile and…

Wow, I figured Kat would have posted this. Nice find Brian.

@leoaugust: Actually, it's snakes that eat eagles while in mid flight.
