Hooray for envy3!

a broken economy can be fixed with a large injection of steroids! It will be able to hit a record number of home runs after that!

2003 called, they want their generalization back.

"PS3 users can upgrade their systems to 500gb for about $80 if they go to Fry's"

In all fairness, the only 2.5" 500GB HDD at fry's was listed at $90 before tax/shipping.

This would be good for creating a low power mesh network on a battlefield and you could use these as relays. anything that will reduce a soldiers load, such as a smaller battery to power their com gear, the better.

hey, who put a picture of my dad on their poster?

I don't think they've managed to lower production costs enough to make a profit off of them at their current ridiculous price. You can't make money by selling more of what you're not making a profit on. Then again, if they lowered the cost of a PS3, in return they would sell more games and blu ray movies, so maybe they would come out ahead.

I got this from best buy for $10 last week!
i could always use another copy to give to a friend.

If pictured cable is supposed to be "USB 3.0", isn't said cable supposed to have another little plug above/below the usual rectangular plug?

"The downside of charging subscriber fees is that even though all residents must pay for some part of costs - only those willing or able to pay for the complete suite of services are allowed to reap the benefits of the taxes or fees that fund it."

You do realize all big telecoms/cable receive government funding to extend their networks to areas that "need" them, except the government doesn't define what "need" is and then they just basically pocket the money with minimal improvements?
You are already having some of your tax money given away to these companies by the national government, and these companies are recording ridiculous profits.

An organization that shows it can provide good service for a fair price is nothing but a good thing for the consumer. Frankly, any competition in an industry as overpriced as TV/internet is good because competition drives down prices.
