    Exclusive Internet offer for iEasel

    From: Jimin Brelsford Subject: Re: Awesome iPhone / iPod Touch Stand Date: October 5, 2009 2:27:43 AM EDT To: John Biggs I did this three ways:Are you tired of having to hold your iPhone while you watch funny videos? Wish there was a way to lean your iPod Touch against something while you look at it? Hi, Billy Mays here for the incredible iEasel. The amazing new iPhone stand that fits right in your wallet. What do you when you don't want to hold your multimedia device up to your face? Up until now, you either had to lay it flat on a table, or lean it against something on your desk. Not anymore. The iEasel can support your iPod from 45 to 75 degrees and anywhere in between. It has the strength, and the muscle, to hold your device in portrait, even landscape mode for those widescreen movies. The secret is in the hinge + support tab that shoulders your iPhone. It's sturdy plastic construction and nonslip design mean you can use it anywhere, anytime. But it still fits right in your wallet. If you order now, you will get the original Imperikal iEasel for the insane price of $3.99. That's the ultraportable, wallet-sized iEasel that pays for itself with only one use, for the low, low price of $3.99. And if you order now, I'll throw in free shipping. Here's how to order.

    The BBC is running a piece about “the yellow light of death,” the PS3's equivalent of the Xbox 360's “red ring of death.” Well, perhaps the word “equivalent” isn't the right one to use, since, at least according to Sony, less than one half of one percent of PS3s sold in the UK have turned up bad.

    Newegg’s Shell Shocker needs many exclamation points: Adobe Photoshop Elements for $49

    Posted on August 31, 2009 | No Comments
    Newegg has the most ridiculous names for its sales. For example, today we have SHELL SHOCKER, written in some aggressive-looking font, along with a picture of a broken shell, to drive home the theme. As for the deal itself, I spy Adobe Photoshop Elements for $49, a full 44 percent off the regular price.
