Along those lines, I was out of town one weekend, and my cousin messages me over Facebook saying he received a refund check from PCMall.com or some computer component website in the amount of like 1500 bucks. I called him shortly thereafter and asked him 2 things, "did you cash it?" And "Have you ever bought anything from PCMall.com" He answered No to both questions... He did tell me, however, that he went to the police, and asked them if it seemed legitimate. The cop took a quick look at it, and deemed it "Legit to cash"

I laughed at that statement and then offered my rebuttal... "CJ, You haven't shopped there, and they're sending you a "refund check" for something you've never purchased... doesnt this throw a red flag somewhere?"

Common sense says if you haven't shopped there, or signed up for any contests, then obviously it's a scam. He tore up the check.

My girlfriend was concerned about the amount of soda i was drinking over a 24 hour period, and she introduced me to flavored sparkling water.

Walmart sells bottles of this in various flavors for roughly what you'd pay for a can of soda.

I found myself weening off the soda, and drinking the sparkling water more and more, which is a good thing.

You might want to check that out if you're concerned about the caffeine, syrup and whatnot. It worked for me. I found my problem was the fact that i craved the carbonation.

I tried to quit soda, but inevitably came crawling back about 6 months later. I cut down to 1 can of soda a day, and drink a bottle or two of the water a day.

Which is well and good, if you have these devices. I've got no use for the T-84 calculator that is touted to be able to jailbreak the ps3, outside of the fact that it can do so. I already have a cellphone, which isn't capable of doing it. I've got an MP3 player, once again, not capable.

My option would be to either A. Buy one of these Keys, or B. Buy an AMTEL board, and program it myself with PSGroove.

Overall Point - The Key is a cheaper option, unless you already have the items that are PS3 jailbreak capable.
