'Serenity'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
So you people have me thinking about a flat screen again :)
I was looking online, and can't see the difference between this at best buy [link]
and this at costco [link]
except maybe the hdmi inputs. But since all I'll ever hook up to it are a tivo and maybe a DVD player, why do I need 4?
Looks like they both have 4 HDMI inputs, so I don't think that's the difference (I didn't look through the rest of the description).
ETA: The Costco model is actually an LED LCD. The Best Buy is just LCD.
Best Buy model: LN40C630K1F [link]
Costco:UN40C6400 [link]
Is that $400 worth of difference?
We have one LCD with LED backlighting and there is a difference. Mainly it is in the contrast ratio. With LED backlighting the black level on the panel is excellent. Without it even a total blackout can have a bit if a grey tinge to it.
Did the 1st gen iPod Touch not have speakers? My parents gave Ellie an old one that they say has no sound (unless you plug in speakers).
Correct. It does simple alert and alarm tones only.

My annoyance level has reached 11

Huh, and apparently I haven't had this phone as long as I thought - my contract isn't up for renewal until September. No new phone for me next week after all!
AT&T Moves Up iPhone Upgrade Eligibility On Eve of WWDC Keynote
AT&T seems to have adjusted user eligibility requirements forward for many customers. This means that several readers who previously were ineligible to purchase a new subsidized iPhone now find that they are eligible. Previously, dates for eligibility ranged from June to November depending on your rate plan.
Oooh! Thanks, Tom - looks like I'm eligible after all.
NEW PHONE! WOOT!
