Western Digital Media Player (WD TV).

It has USB external hard drive connections and plays several video formats (WMV, AVI/DivX, MPG) on a regular digital TV.

Amen. I have a USB flash drive that has 1 million times the memory capacity of my first PC. It weighs less than an ounce and my Zenith Z-100 weighed 20 lbs.

Don’t wait any longer.

Actually, wait a little longer. These things are plummeting in price.

Gibson is a guitar company! Not a tech company!

And don't ever buy one of these "Robot" guitars used! For proprietary reasons, Gibson will only sell replacement parts to the original owner.

The Home or Personal Router/Switch

None of our gadgets that connect to the interweb would be worth beans if those little boxes didnt exist, and at an affordable price.

I bought my first one in 99, prior to that I had a red hat linux box doing NAT and routing. Wireless itself however was not widely available until at least a year or so later and it really didn't take off until 03 or so.

Robot Guitar technology redefined the power and possibilities of a guitar to capture a player’s imagination. Now you can experience the energy and potential of this revolutionary concept in the Robot SG Special from Gibson USA

I have one. A Les Paul Model. LOVE IT!

iPod. Hands down, in my opinion. Not because there weren’t digital music players before that, there were. It just opened up the ability to listen to my music again by making it so easy, and to also enable audiobooks that were easy to listen to (not a series of 15 CD’s...)

Hunters Specialties “Butt-Out” and “Butt-OutII”, without a doubt!

I had to look - but, uh, not at the demonstration video...

(I'm not a hunter - just a hypocritical carnivore 8^)

A toilet with a sink on the tank? That’s hardly new. This is just a porcelain (or plastic) version of the old steel prison crappers they installed in the Minuteman Launch Control Center capsules for the launch crew members.

I don't blame you! I work in a sporting goods environment.
When they came out with these a couple years ago I thought it was a joke.As a hunter I can tell you they work AWSOME!We can all use a little warped humor lately.I hoped it would get a few chuckles! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
