Boing Boing Banned By Boston…Giz Next?

Dealzmodo: $1,000 Cash Back on Panasonic PT-AE1000U Projector

How does $1,000 off a new Panasonic 1080p projector sound? Pretty good? Maybe Panasonic is feeling generous. Or maybe Panasonic is just feeling the hot breath of Epson on its neck.

Not “technically” designed to work in anuses, this Intelliprobe from E-Control transmits temperatures wirelessly to any Bluetooth-enabled PDA running Windows Mobile 2003 or higher.
