Then, you find out that every time you bid, they deduct a "bid" off of the 100 "bids" they just sold you, which is .60 cents a bid/penny. Since the bidding is done one cent at a time, you can imagine how many "cents" you will be using :-)

Now, the products are sold by the company it seems (unlike eBay). You want to know how much they actually sold the $67.00 flat screen TV for? Do the math: $67.00 = 6700 bids/pennies x .60 a bid = $4020.00 !!!!

Is it illegal? I don't know, but they sure found a way to sell a $500 TV for over $4000.00 and have people brag about it :-)

Watch out, you have been worned.]]> The red flag came up when I saved my registration info, with a notice that my card was just charged $60.00.

The number one question I tend to be asked is "Can I have an iTune acct. with out inputting or submitting my credit card"? The answer is yes! Create an iTunes App Store Account without a credit card - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 I do agree that this option should be part of the standard sign-up flow, a check-box, such was actually standard for quite sometime, then for some unknown reason it was taken away. I do not know if this has been changed back to how it was before, but the instructions from the link are very good.]]> > http://www.tuaw.com/2010/12/25/ipad-101-...-for-your/

Enjoy the show!

This might interest you. There are a class of devices now coming out based on the Shiva processor for wall-wort size devices (plug computers).

This one, the TonidoPlug, is apparently a repackaging of the Shiva Plug with the Tonido open source software stack on top of a special Ubuntu offering for the Shiva processor.

I recently ordered one to go with a 1Tb Seagate desktop USB drive. I have not had a chance to set it up yet, but plan to in the next week or two as a NAS and app server for my home network (for under $200 total, seemed a fun experiment).]]>

On the show you have recently been talking about nettop PCs and their pluses and minuses. I just saw an article about this one from Lenovo that is being specifically targeted for use with a home theater set up. Looks interesting at this price point.
