Site note to this... I was at Best Buy (Southpoint, Durham, NC) and was looking at the G15 refresh yesterday. They had it on sale for $85, down from $100.

Not sure if this is global and you can probably find a better price online... but if you're dieing to run into a brick and morter store...
I think Apple will announce Nike+ support for iPhone and iPod Touch with a future firmware update
Of course, this means that the arena set bonuses will never get changed to give them some variety... Only the stats will get upgraded.
Just FYI: "Mudder's Milk", one of the drinks available during the event, is a throwback to Firefly, the episode Jaynestown specifically.
[Ugh, lost my post, I appologize if this is a double]

@Byron you do have a valid point, but I don't think the solution is all that complex. Most items that are sellable on the AH have a "vendor sale price" associated with them even if a vendor won't buy it from you.

If blizzard wanted to be really "lazy" about the change, instead of adding values to any item doesn't have one, just delay "no value" items. It would be annoying, but still less annoying than having everything delayed.
How about D), you're an AH trader that makes their cash off of volume of trade as opposed to large profit margins... It's not impossible to work around, the change just means I need to have more "reserve" cash to make buys on the AH while I wait for the 1 hour delay on items I sell. Annoying none the less, especially since I was caught off guard by the change meaning for the next day or two, until I build up that reserve, I'll be trading at a slower pace than my usual.

As an aside, I hate the gold selling "industry" (I shudder with repulsion just to call it that), but that being said, blizzard's latest fix could have been better thought out - only delay gold over x amount was mentioned, my personal favorite is to only delay gold where the vendor sale price is a significant % lower than the auction price.

An NPC vendor sells [a random piece of trash] for 20c, buyout was 200g, auction is delayed...
An NPC vendor "sells" [Jagged Talasite] for 12g, buyout was 20g, no delay...
I could be wrong, but looking at the box picture yall posted... isn't this the first one to support Clear QAM tuning?
The other thing they've done is toned down other offensive stats. Agility Pre-BC was +2 RAP for hunters, but now only grants +1 RAP...
Holly crap, record number of comments... but put me in anyway ;)
A major component in this is lackluster HD-DVD releases in 2007... I know the only HD-DVD i've had any interest in since the new year has been "Children of Men", Blu-Ray has had stronger titles to release (part of this is because of major studio backing). Personally, I believe the overall technology of HD-DVD is better (even if the storage capacity is slightly smaller), but better technology doesn't win the format war - a strong release lineup will.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
