I think the last one looks and sounds more useful than the rest at least for graphics work. And to the guy commenting about none of them working for gaming, I'd say that depends on the type of gaming you are doing but not every innovation in computers has to do with gaming. I game too but I also use computers extensively at work and gaming equipment isn't always the best fit! But just as a consolation, I do use my old MX510 gaming mouse on my workstation because the dinky little junk they had attached to it would have given me carpal tunnel in no time!

So are these just people who really like their favorite characters? Or are they hired talent? If they are just really BIG fans, I'm going to have to start going to these things because there are some really hot people there!!!

I like the idea of a netbook rather than a Kindle. Like someone else said the cost wouldn't be much more if any at all and the benefit would be for taking notes and writing reports and such. The idea is a good one though. Getting rid of all those heavy ass books would save the kids backs. I see the kids at the bus stop hunched over with probably somehwhere close to a third of the own weight on their backs. That can't be good for them. But then if the netbook or Kindle is lost or broken, you just lost all of your books. They better have backups in print as well to deal with this issue.

Anyone know what banks are affected or the manufacture of the ATM's that have WinXP on them? I like XP but would prefer some software written specifically for my ATM's!

I don't see it as censorship as they were obviously not abiding by the terms of service. And to claim ignorance doesn't work either. Everyone has to agree to the TOS when they sign up for an account. Just because they didn't actually read it (I mean who really does?) doesn't mean they weren't made aware of it.

If you break the rules, you will be banned. End of discussion.

I just got an Asus Eee PC 1000HA and I love it! It will never replaced my desktop but I have no problems taking notes, doing homework, running multiple programs. I've even been a little surprised that it runs some of the programs I use such as National Instruments Multisim and Boson NetSim and NetDesigner. I would've thought these programs would have this tiny laptop crying for mercy but no, the 1.6GHz Atom powers through them without a hiccup.

Even had there been a bigger more powerful laptop within a couple hundred dollars I wouldn't have gone for it. The whole reason I bought this was for taking notes at school and surfing the web in as small a package as possible. Accomplished!

I checked out Circuit City's "sale" when they were going out of business. That was a waste of a half an hour. Before that, I hadn't been in one in years. And I never bought anything computer related from them. High prices and crappy selection. No thanks. If anyone is dumb enough to buy something from the relaunched website, they got it coming. There is a reason the company went under the first time.

AVOID IT LIKE THE SWINE FLU!!!!

I love that they found a virus on a broken hard drive! I want that virus scanner! Like another blogger here, I too am ashamed that I applied for the Geek Squad and was also rejected for a moron!

 On another note, just a couple days ago I went into Best Buy to buy an Asus Eee PC 1000 but they would price match my local MicroCenter because MicroCenter was out of stock on the item. The sales guy was too lazy to look up the item and realize the price difference was due to a rebate. Instead I went back to MicroCenter the next day and bought it for the same price Best Buy had along with a memory upgrade and wireless mouse.

I don't blame the associates at Best Buy because I've been in there shoes with another major retailer. Corporate ties there hands and expects miracles.

Suck failure Best Buy! You are doomed to go the way of Circuit City if you don't get it together.

For some reason the guy thinks he's not going to get in trouble by reviewing a movie that he shouldn't have seen yet? And then to top it off says he's might watch another one later that night without going to the theater to see it. RETARD!!! If you're going to steal, atleast be smart enough not to yell out "Hey, look at what I'm stealing! It's such a great product!" I'll wait for the movie to hit the theaters as I'm sure the finished product in a good theater will be worth the wait. I'm sure the reporter is wishing he had waited!

Come on Apple, get with the program. You keep holding out on Verizon and you're going to lose out because everyone is coming out with competing phones on Verizon and some of them are pretty sweet. 

 On another note, who really gives a crap about saving $50-100 if you lose calls on  a terrible network?
