• MAG HDTVs are excellent in my opinion. They are re-branded Proview monitors, which PC Magazine rated above the top two Bargain Brands (Vizio & Westinghouse) in terms of quality.

• "while Android promises a high degree of user customization, that may not mean a whole lot to the average person. (...) Compared with the iPhone, Android isn't as slick or as pretty, its menu structure isn't quite as simple, and it generally has a more technical feel. (...) some features, (...) aren't quite as elegant."
  
  "These differences don't necessarily make Android inferior (...) Android can feel like a work in progress"
  
  Kent, based on this article, the Motorola Droid isn't as "Slick" as the iPhone, but the Droid's more customizable...
  
  So here's my question: CAN the Droid be as "Slick," or more slick for that matter, via customization?
  
  The Linux Ubuntu vs. Mainstream OSs situation comes to my mind. While I'm a Windows, iPod and Blackberry User myself, I enjoy playing with all the cool tech out there, so I've used pretty much all of the big OSs. Anyway, Ubuntu starts out rather Spartan, not much flashier than Windows 98, but via customization I've seen installs on sub-$1000 machines that make Ubuntu at least as Slick as the best Microsoft & Apple have to offer.
  
  So with the iPhone OS being an Apple product, and Android's customizable philosophy being a Linux descendant, is the same true of iPhone vs. Droid? Does the Droid have the potential to be a Super-Slick Mobile OS if the right apps, features, tweaks, etc. are utilized? Or is Droid at its peak still utilitarian compared to the smooth iPhone OS?

• Could it be because Intel's Core i7 line is it's new and current flagship? And the i7 works with DDR3?
  
  Maybe the companies are migrating from DDR2 towards DDR3 production to accommodate Intel's new line and with less DDR2 supply and demand, the prices go up. In reply to: "Get a pair of Cellboost phone chargers for $7.99"

• The price really isn't too bad considering two good speakers, a good subwoofer and a good TV Stand combined would be in that price range. Personally, I'd rather go for Aperion Speakers & a JSP stand for the money, but a minimalist... In reply to: "World's biggest sound bar speaker"

• Okay, I just bought the 360 Premium along with Guitar Hero III & Halo 3 from the site. I then bought two extra wireless controllers from Amazon. My grand total was $310, it would've been $290 if I didn't go to college in Tennessee (TN-only tax). The 360 Premium alone price-reduced @ Walmart would be $309 with tax. Now I know I lose the headset & HDMI, but I don't online game and it would be replacing my Original XBox in my HDTV's Component Slot anyway.
  
  So basically I got Guitar Hero III (+ Wireless Guitar), Halo 3 & 2 extra Wireless controllers for $1! Great deal! Thanks Rick!
  
  By the way, just to see how much I saved, I filled a Walmart Cart up with the same items $637.30! Can't thank you enough Rick! And yes, I am an AmEx member, so I have an automatic extended warranty. In reply to: "Score a refurbished Xbox 360 Premium for $149.99"
