Although I found this entry in Gizmodo quite amusing, I decided to post it here after reading this on yahoo! news. It seems Best Buy (or Apple) is now selling bricks for over $2000 each while a bunch of rocks and a Chinese newspaper are worth $138 from Walmart (or Nintendo). Obviously, there is no [...]

Back in the day…
Kids these days have it good – mobile dvd players, notebooks, portable media players, portable game consoles.
