Remember back in the 1960's when "cheap" Japanese goods flooded the USA market...only back then were were so ignorant we didn't realize that their goods were better than ours.

Now its the other way around, the USA is getting flooded with cheap Communist junk. So THAT's how they plan to win the war against the west, bury us in lead-impregnated happy meal toys and consumer electronics that burn down your house.]]>Nov 14th 2007 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/
"Flaming Bag of Poo"

comes to mind...]]>Nov 10th 2007 6:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/
Which is not to say Sony's stuff is all that great, but it's usually better than Coby's.

Coby's only claim to fame is that they're often the cheapest brand of junk electronics in stores like Family Dollar or Dollar General or Woolworths, but lately they've increased their price points so much that the stores that birthed them no longer even carry the brand. Now Coby is showing up in places like Target but it's only because the price points went up, not because the products are any better than the old $14.99 walkman clones Coby used to sell, the ones with headphones that made you deaf and hurt your head, before they just broke and fell off. ]]>Nov 10th 2007 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/
And now you know... the rest of the story...

So don't think that Colby can't get better. They already know how to make stuff cheap. It's much easier for them to improve quality than for someone else to lower costs.]]>Nov 10th 2007 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/Nov 10th 2007 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/Nov 10th 2007 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/Nov 10th 2007 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/Nov 10th 2007 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/Nov 10th 2007 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/Nov 10th 2007 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/
Coby = POS Discount Consumer Electronics

Linux = Alternative Operating System for computers and non-sheep

Coby isn't an operating system, and Linux isn't a Piece Of Shit.

When I plugged them into my laptop, I was suprised they worked at all. But, they were still really crappy. Since then, I've always made sure to bring mine with me, for fear that another Coby product might be in my future...]]>Nov 10th 2007 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/Nov 10th 2007 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/Nov 10th 2007 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/coby-recalls-12-000-dvd-boomboxes-due-to-fire-hazard/Nov 12th 2007 2:35AM
