    Yawn....

    To be serious though, one cannot expect Apple to offer huge discounts as they don't want to undercut the retailers who carry their products.

    By essentially matching their prices, they aren't really competing against their retailers yet Apple gets all of the additional profit which would be shared with the distributors and retailers.

    Buying directly from Apple is a win for Apple, but a loss for the distributors, retailers, and especially consumers.

    The lady and I just picked up our first HDTV this morning (excluding HD monitors that line my office). Replacing our 30" Insignia CRT with a 40" Sony Bravia LCD. It wasnt the greatest as far as stats go, but at $598 we decided to go for it. And to be honest..... hell yeah! Its one sexy bitch. My advice dont settle for the CRT's any more. LCD's are getting so cheap and Planet Earth on BlueRay will knock your socks off.

    That 4-in-the-morning delirium had set in when you posted this, huh?

    S'cool. This one time, I bought something online at like 3 in the morning, and I thought, "Hey! Extended warranty! 3 extra months? For JUST $80? Bring it on!"

    Visio is the only cheap TV brand I trust. After I bought mine, numerous friends of mine jumped on board. After viewing a few dozen vizios in operation through the past few years not only have my friends become loyal to the brand, I found that I have as well. I recently had a the pleasure of viewing a 42" 120 hz LCD made by Vizio and in comparison to my buddy's 46 inch Samsung LED, the friend with the Visio got a much better deal. Other than the obvious screen size difference and richer blacks, they had similar IQ.

    At first I thought "Oh wow - 32" Bravia + PS3 + Infamous + Uncharted 1 all for $380" and then I clicked the link and realized that Sony's still an overpriced tightwad of a company.

    @Mr.V.: The paper's on El Lissitzky's move from painting more traditional Jewish works, with Yiddish lettering etc., to Suprematist work (a la Malevich, see Lissitzy's Proun) with the Bolshevik Revolution. The paper is more an examination of how Soviet policy, even from the beginning, was anti-Semetic even when Soviet policy specifically forbade anti-Semetic sentiment and crimes (i.e. pogroms), since Russia moved from discriminating against Jews in business, social status, and civil rights to discriminating against Jewish culture and religious institutions, which certainly back then and very much so now is the lifeblood of the Jewish people.

    Ergo - not really about art =P

    @blash: Shame, the USSR had some damn good graphic designers and such.

    And to be fair, all religious nonsense was abolished. So you can't quite say that it was specifically antisemitic? I dunno. It seems like people are quick to call antisemitism these days. Sure it's a problem, but a lot of people seem to be looking for pity...

    @Mr.V.: Not specifically (i.e. only) anti-Semetic, no - but the policies themselves were still anti-Semetic (as well as anti-Greek Orthodox etc.)

    @blash: Well if you're abolishing religion, sure, you're being antisemitic. You're also being anti-christian, anti-muslim, anti-whatever.
