Crazy Stevie's iPhone Prices are Insaaane! 357
theodp writes "Slate takes a look at the alarming lesson of the iPhone price cut and ponders the long-term effects of a Fire-Sale Nation mentality, especially when companies go all Crazy Eddie slashing prices on products like homes and cars that have active secondary markets. 'High-profile price-chopping tends to occur whenever companies freak out about the vicious combination of a slowing consumer economy and the prospect of getting stuck with big inventories of unsold goods. The tactic often works in the short term. The hype over insanely low prices functions as a form of free advertising, and the lower prices tend to attract buyers. Apple announced on Sept. 10 that it had sold its 1 millionth iPhone.'"

Going to be extorted writes ""FCC Chief Kevin Martin yesterday gave his support to AT&T and other telcos who want to be able to limit bandwidth to sites like Google, unless those sites pay extortion fees.

Self Contained Water Cooled Radeon X1900, Retail 129
Spinnerbait writes "Graphics cards are all the rage in the Enthusiast Computing community, where
overclocking standard off-the-shelf components is commonplace. Recently
innovative cooling solutions have been brought to Graphics cards in an effort to
tame the thermals of their power hungry GPUs. It looks like some of the
major vendors have taken it up a notch in this area, with this ATI-based
Sapphire Graphics card that employs a self-contained water cooling system.
Not only does the card have potential for serious overclocking but it should do
so relatively quietly as well."

Well I dont mind Square paretnering up with Dell, well actually I do because I find it so dumb that when you buy a new computer it comes factory installed with so much bloatware it feels like a much slower computer that you couldve found at the thrift store. Lets see, new computers already come with AOL all over the desktop, so many proprietary programs for periphrials, and so many options configured that arent needed that it makes the entire experience of having a new computer not any fun. Now granted, I can see it helps out new people, but there should be a guide instead of just already having it installed. Some people might like this deal with square, but i personally dont (flame me if you like), but i really dont like anime, and I cold find much better uses off the 300 mb on my hard drive. About the thing with NVIDIA - I never heard that, but that is outrageous! So many companies are going out of their way to be standards compliant, while some companies are trying to write their own rules. This is no fair at all to competition, and should be frowned upon as a microsoft-like deal. When will companies realize that wed rather have something work on more platforms than how fancy their cross pens are on their desk? It disgusts me.
