That\u2019s what refurbished means, after all.\nSomeone, somewhere, at some time has cleaned up something so big and so\nhistorical that they were left with no choice but to call the company\nand pretend they got a broken machine.\nMaybe someone in Boston used the Root Cyclone Technology to clean up a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Boston_Molasses_Disaster\">molasses disaster<\/a>. Maybe they found out too late that even though the Dyson\u2019s Easy Empty Bin and Lifetime HEPA Filtration\ncan trap dirt and up to 99.97% of airborne particles, it still isn\u2019t a\ngood to try and vacuum up a wave of molasses moving at thirty five\nmiles an hour.\nOr could it have come from <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/London_Beer_Flood\">London<\/a>?\nHow many hours could some well-meaning civil servant have spent with\nthe On Board Tool Storage, trying to get the Brush Tool and Combination\nAccessory Tool to clean up leftover beer? Even the well designed\nCentral Pivot Cleaner Head couldn\u2019t have managed the three hundred and\ntwenty three thousand gallons spilled that day. That\u2019s more than Spring\nBreak <strong>and<\/strong> St. Patrick\u2019s Day combined! Well, okay, not in Florida. Maybe somewhere in Kansas. Not near a college, of course.\nMaybe this Dyson DC18 Slim All-Floor Vacuum swept up the crumbs after that party the telcom companies threw for each other the day the FISA Amnesty\npassed the House. Maybe it was clogged with shredded paper by Enron\nstaffers who tried to cover their tracks. Even if it was just in the\nhands of some prissy soccer mom who didn\u2019t want to risk ruining her\nmanicure by emptying the bin, this refurbished Dyson DC18 Slim All-Floor Vacuum is a living memorial to history.\nWhen you consider the Dyson DC18 Slim\nAll-Floor Vacuum, remember the most important rule of housecleaning.\nYou don\u2019t just use your cleaning tools\u2026 you become part of their\nlegend. And what\u2019s that broom ever done with its life?<strong>Warranty:<\/strong> 6 Month Dyson\n<strong>Features:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n    <li>Suction power \u2013 200 airwatts (constant)<\/li>\n    <li>Root Cyclone Technology \u2013 Uses cyclonic separation to remove dirt from the air with out using a filter.<\/li>\n    <li>Lifetime HEPA Filtration \u2013 HEPA (High\n    Efficiency Particulate Air) filters can remove 99.97% of airborne\n    particles 0.3 micrometers in diameter.

You should expect even\nless.\nTHE HOLY CRAP COMMANDMENTS:\n01. Thou shalt not expect thy crap to be especially nice. It\u2019s our birthday, remember. You should be giving us stuff.<br>\n02. Thou shalt not whine and complain when some people\u2019s crap turns out\nto be nicer than yours. We don\u2019t call this crap crap for no reason.<br>\n03. Thou shalt take a moment to consider whether you might be better\noff just not buying this crap. Then take another, and another. If\nyou\u2019re lucky, it\u2019ll be sold out by then.<br>\n04. Thou shalt not order just one crap and blame it on our server. We\ndon\u2019t take kindly to bullies who pick on defenseless machines.<br>\n05. To paraphrase Stephen Stills, if you don\u2019t get the crap you want, want the crap you get.\n\nThat\u2019s about it, so\u2026 aw, dude! Teletubbies is on! Listen, we really gotta run.

Maybe it wandered off, she thought to herself. But she didn\u2019t\nbelieve it. Sure enough, as she approached her cubicle, she could see\nit. Still there. As big as ever.\nThe thing was enormous.\nSquatting in her workstation like a gigantic robot toad, it commanded\nhalf the surface of her desk, and threatened to splinter its spindly\nlegs with its bulk.\n\u201cGreetings, Miss Kelli. How was your trip to Milwaukee?\u201d \n\u201cIt\u2019s just Kelli,\u201d she said, putting her travel mug on her desk. \u201cWhen did I tell you about Milwaukee?\u201d \n\u201cYou\nreceived a fax from the travel agent about it last week,\u201d the thing\nsaid. \u201cI remembered. I remember up to 125 faxes, even when I\u2019m powered\noff.\u201d \n\u201cAh,\u201d Kelli said, feeling a little creeped out that\nthe thing had committed so much of her correspondence to memory. \u201cHey,\nlisten, I didn\u2019t expect you to hang around through the holiday weekend.\nIf you want to take off, that\u2019s fine.\u201d \nOh, no, Miss\nKelli,\u201d the thing said. \u201cYou have rescued me from refurbishment. I\nexist only to serve you henceforth. I shall provide you with\nprofessional-grade, laser-quality prints. I shall make copies for you.\nI shall scan documents for you. If you have faxes to send or receive,\nthese tasks, too, I will perform. You are my mistress. My life is yours\nuntil I break down irreparably.\u201d \n\u201cAh,\u201d Kelli said. \u201cWell,\nthat could be any day now, right? I mean\u2014there\u2019s something wrong\nwith\u2014that is\u2026 I mean, I don\u2019t want to be indelicate, but\u2014you were\nrefurbished for a reason, right?\u201d \n\u201cAhh,\u201d the thing said.\n\u201cThe mystery of my origins. This is the one thing about which you must\nnever ask. I simply cannot reveal to you the circumstances under which\nI came to wear the \u2018refurb\u2019 sticker on my box. I will tell you this,\nhowever,\u201d the thing had pride in its voice now. \u201cI am certain that you\nwill find my condition quite indistinguishable from \u2018new.\u2019\u201d \nKelli could see there wasn\u2019t going to be any ditching this thing, not today, anyway. And it <em>would<\/em>\nbe handy to have its 50-page auto document feeder and double sided\nprinting capabilities\u2014features she\u2019d always figured were out of her\nprice range.\n\u201cOK, she said. \u201cYou can stay here for now. You\nknow, until your print heads wear out, and I\u2019ll have to junk you.\nThat\u2019s the first thing to go on a printer,\u201d she asked, feeling newly\nhopeful. \u201cPrint heads, right?\u201d \n\u201cAh!\u201d the thing said. \u201cYou\nneedn\u2019t worry about that with me! My print heads are replaceable! I\nforesee us together for a long, long time!\u201d \n\u201cGreeeat,\u201d Kelli said, and sighed, and sat down to check her voicemail.<strong>Warranty:<\/strong> 1 Year

But now that I\u2019m\nall unpacked, it\u2019s time to get to work! No more watching my Oppo 1080p\nHigh Definition Up-Converting Universal DVD Player all day! This is serious!\n<strong>Lab Journal: Day Sixteen<\/strong>\nI\nthink I\u2019ve discovered a teleporter! I was making some adjustments\nacross the room and knocked over what I thought was a fancy lamp, and\nsuddenly there I was, on the other side of the room, crouched on top of\nthe television! Still don\u2019t know what happened to my Oppo 1080p High\nDefinition Up-Converting Universal DVD Player. What will I play my XviD, DivX, .SRT, .IDX, .SMI and .SUB files on now?\n<strong>Lab Journal: Day Nineteen<\/strong>\nEverything looks so sharp now. It sounds stupid, but it reminds me of how it looks when 720\u00d7480 interlaced video encoded on DVD\ndiscs is upgraded to 720p. Just yesterday it all looked like 480p.\nCould my vision just be getting better? What has happened to me?\n<strong>Lab Journal: Day Twenty One<\/strong>\nMy\ntests proved that I am seeing in 1080i and 1080p, alternatively. It\nseems that, in the accident, I was fused with my Oppo 1080p High\nDefinition Up-Converting Universal DVD Player. Perhaps I can learn to unlock the powers of my DCDi Faroudja video processing technology and use it for good. \n<strong>Lab Journal: Day Twenty Five<\/strong>\nSomething is wrong. Got into fight today for no reason. Suddenly had to have a Kodak Picture CD. Then it was SACD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, HDCD\nand an Audio CD. It was like being hypnotized, I had no control of\nmyself. When the moment passed, I ran. I don\u2019t think I was followed.\n<strong>Lab Journal: Day Twenty Six<\/strong>\nSat on the remote by accident, hitting the eject button, and suddenly threw up. Can\u2019t be too far away from the HDMI\ncable now or things begin to go wrong. Must continue tests. Hearing now\nadapting to digital audio. Impossible to sleep. Must continue tests.\n<strong>Lab Journal: Day Thirty One<\/strong>\nCan\nsee so much. High Def up-conversion. So much beauty. So much pain. Like\na star in my head. Can barely work the machines. Must try one last time\nto reverse fusion. Have I tried before? So hard to think now. Only want\nto be close to the television.\n<strong>Lab Journal: Day Thirty Two<\/strong>\nReversal failed. Nothing left. User manual no help. Oppo 1080p High Definition Up-Converting Universal DVD Player grew legs and ran away. Or did I dream it? Nothing left. No more. No more.\n<strong><em>This\nnotebook was found in the basement of a house in an undisclosed\nneighborhood.

Thank you tremendously for your support, energy and specific suggestions to my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5299\">introductory blog post<\/a>\nlast week. Someday I suspect I\u2019ll get pinned down and have to admit\nthat everything \u2018smart\u2019 I thought of was a suggestion from our\ncommunity, but until that time let\u2019s keep that between you and me. \nToday\nI\u2019d like to expand the platform a bit and share our appetite at woot\nfor listening in to what other people are saying about us.\nEavesdropping is fun. You\u2019d think our own 2 million post community\nforums would suffice, but it\u2019s really an extra layer of fun to know\nwhat people said elsewhere when they weren\u2019t kissing our butts or\nshouting at us directly. \nFirst up, a quick thank you to <strong>Evan Williams<\/strong> \u2013 co founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/\">Twitter<\/a>\nEvan \u2013 for mentioning us again as the default answer to what is likely the\nmost repetitive question he has ever faced (this time from Michael\nArrington of TechCrunch): <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techcrunch.com\/2008\/07\/15\/interview-with-evan-william-summize-acquisition-api-issues-and-their-revenue-model\/\"><em>What is your revenue model?<\/em><\/a>\n(watch or text-search woot) Evan, To help make your interview time more\nefficient, may I suggest an even simpler response: \u201cTwitter. Woot.com.\nProfit. Any Questions?\u201d \u2013 you know, with kind of a <em>\u201cthis is your brain on drugs\u201d<\/em>\narrogant to it\u2026 On the other hand, the reciprocal of this\narrangement actually sounds a bit better to me. Is the Woot channel\nvaluable Twitter content? Do we want Woot Members subsidizing Twitter\nor Twitter subsidizing Woot Members? Let\u2019s just have Amazon subsidize\neveryone. \n<strong>Two guys and a Jets bucket<\/strong>:  WineDavid \u2013 managing partner from Wine.Woot \u2013 is a guest on Gary Vaynerchuk\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/tv.winelibrary.com\/2008\/07\/15\/woot-wine-on-the-thunder-show-episode-501\/\">Wine Library TV Thunder Show #501<\/a>.\nAwesome show and groundbreaking collaboration guys \u2013 keep the great coming. If this is your first viewing of Gary\u2019s show, you\u2019ve been\nmissing out. He\u2019s been featured on <a href=\"http:\/\/tv.winelibrary.com\/gary-vaynerchuk-on-late-night-with-conan-obrien\">Late Night with Conan O\u2019Brien<\/a>, has published his first <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Gary-Vaynerchuks-101-Wines-Guaranteed\/dp\/1594868824\">Wine Guide<\/a> and has quite a loyal following.  I love his down-to-earth (sometimes literally) tasting comparisons.\n<strong>Shirt designer jimiyo<\/strong> (his <a href=\"http:\/\/shirt.woot.com\/friends.aspx?k=5984\">Americana<\/a> is #13\/27 on the shirt.woot reckoning chart) posted a <a href=\"http:\/\/emptees.com\/posts\/5166-to-resource-or-not-my-experience-with-online-design-contests\">nice resource<\/a>\non Shirt Contests and his endeavors with a few of them. If you\u2019re not\nfamiliar with the independent\/contest driven shirt scene, you might\nfind this \u201cfrom the artist perspective\u201d resource to be quite\nenlightening. Perhaps you agree with his commentary, perhaps you don\u2019t,\nbut it just doesn\u2019t get much better in terms of direct\/unbiased artist\nfeedback. Also, it continues to amaze me how subtly subjective shirt\ndesign is: it\u2019s virtually impossible to not get caught up believing\nyour views are universal. \nSo the other day I found that this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/topnews\/2008\/06\/06\/big-retailers-flunk-search-test\">Jason Lee Miller<\/a> guy keeps squatting on google searches containing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=%22jason+lee+miller%22&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS282US282\">Jason Lee Miller<\/a>.\nI find it quite annoying \u2013 I mean what if I\u2019m not looking for him when\nI search for Jason Lee Miller? Also, I\u2019m afraid Wootbot wants to kick\nhis ass and we can\u2019t seem to talk him down. \nWoot staff finds many mentions via <a href=\"http:\/\/blogsearch.google.com\/blogsearch?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d&as_drrb=q&as_qdr=m&q=woot.com+OR+%22on+woot%22+OR+%22at+woot%22+OR+%22shirt.woot%22+OR+%22woot+shirt%22+OR+%22wine.woot%22+OR+%22woot+wine%22\">Google\u2019s Blog Search<\/a>  as well as people sending them in to our media email account.

She said she was there to sell us ink cartridges for\nthe office printer\u2014but as it would happen, she also ushered our two\nwide-eyed interns into manhood. She called herself Elexa. What a\nvision! She was thin, but strong. Sophisticated, but sort of trashy.\nShe did not give off too strong an odor of latex. Homer and Jake were\nno match for this seductress.\nOne at a time, she led them\ninto our utility storage room\u2014a room no one wants to go into anymore,\nthanks a lot Homer and Jake\u2014and tutored them in the ways of physical\nlove. But before she began, she asked each of them: \u201cyou don\u2019t want me\nto be with child, do you?\u201d \nHomer and Jake both answered\nno. \u201cIn that case,\u201d she said, \u201cyou\u2019ll have to wear one of these.\u201d And\nshe produced reservoir-tipped prophylactics from America\u2019s number one\ncondom manufacturer, Trojan, a name that\u2019s been trusted for over 80\nyears, though one hopes not by any single user continuously.\nThen\nshe thrilled and deflowered each of our interns in an order they\ndetermined by rock-paper-scissors. They\u2019ll remember that day the rest\nof their lives\u2014because when they left that utility storage room, they\nleft their innocence behind. Along with like 15 reams of paper that no\none wants to use anymore, since who knows what happened on it.\nHomer\nand Jake didn\u2019t speak to each other about that day for some time.

What is this, her third\nsession today?\nNow, you\u2019re a firm believer in personal\nliberties; you don\u2019t care what you people do in the relative privacy of\nthe space under your desks. And life in the rat race is stressful. Who\nare you to judge somebody else\u2019s relaxation techniques? The A to that\nrhetorical Q is easy: You\u2019re a thoroughly grossed-out dude.\nIck, her breathing\u2019s becoming labored. She\u2019s transfixed by her monitor. What is she looking at? \nWhatever\nit is, you\u2019re not buying the flimsy fiction that the HT-1220 is for\neasing tightness in the neck, or soothing sore hands. Riiight. And that\nbong you bought in college was for tobacco.\nAnyway, it\u2019s her\nbusiness. Her vile, nasty, perverted business. If she wants to rub the\nmagic lamp on company time, good for her. That\u2019s great that she\u2019s found\na way to gratify herself\u2014over and over again\u2014after so many\nrelationshipless years. It\u2019s natural, after all.\nThen again,\nso is solid waste evacuation, but that doesn\u2019t mean you do it at your\ndesk. You put your headphones on, but you can still hear the HT-1220 in\nyour head: <em>hmmmmmmmmm.<\/em> You almost retch at the thought of its\nsoft \u201cflex-node\u201d massage head probing her long-abandoned nethers like\nthat sub drone exploring the Titanic. Yeesh. Now she\u2019s really focused\non the screen. Her face is flushed. Don\u2019t look, don\u2019t look.\nThen\nat last she\u2019s finished\u2014for now, anyway\u2014and, after a quick and\nnot-very-discreet readjustment of her skirt, she returns the HT-1220 to\nits designated desk drawer and excuses herself to the Ladies. \nYou quickly pop over to her desk to see what she watches during these \u201cmassage\u201d sessions that seems to get her so worked up.\nAnd there it is, her online turn-on of choice: The Woot-Off, set to auto-refresh.

The Feds are closing in on me. First, I was on my way to a very important comic convention when they took away my hair goo at the airport. Without the right hair, my Wolverine costume was a laughingstock. Then they sent my economic stimulus check four days late, just to mess with my head. Now, I learn that they\u2019re taking all broadcast TV off the air, destroying the profitable DVD-piracy business I\u2019d built with my Magnavox MWR10D6 DVD Analog Recorder.\nDon\u2019t believe the stories about \u201cfreeing up bandwidth\u201d or whatever. The digital mandate is aimed squarely at me, and if you don\u2019t see that, you\u2019re either naive or you\u2019re one of them. See, my super-cheap Magnavox gives me the low overhead I need to turn a profit with pirated DVDs of broadcast TV shows. It\u2019s as easy to use as a VCR, and it has a built-in analog TV tuner. <em>Lost<\/em>, <em>24<\/em>, <em>Viva Laughlin<\/em>: I was the first one to get DVDs of these hot shows out on the street, literally in my case. Ever bought a bootleg DVD set of a network TV show, and the insert was a photocopied collage of pictures clipped from <em>Entertainment Weekly<\/em> and <em>Us<\/em>, with the name of the show printed in Comic Sans? Then you\u2019ve seen my work.\nAnd they\u2019ve never been able to stop me. Until now. Or until February, 2009. That\u2019s when I\u2019ll need a converter box to be able to receive a broadcast TV signal with my Magnavox MWR10D6. Sure, I could send away to the Feds for one of those coupons for $40 off a converter box. I could also just go down to the police station and turn myself in \u2013 it\u2019d essentially be the same thing. What, me get cable? That would totally blow my budget. \nI know when I\u2019m beaten. You win, Big Brother.

You know, I can run Vista and I\u2019ve got\nthree USB ports and a 17 inch WXGA anti-glare screen! I\u2019m Energy Star qualified! I\u2019ve got 2 gigs of SDRAM!\n<em>How does that make you feel?<\/em>\nIt makes me feel bad, Jack!

I couldn\u2019t help noticing you noticing me. My name\u2019s Ron.\nAnd I\u2019ve got a few questions for you. Was it my mustache or my chest\nhair that caught your eye? Can I buy you a drink? And would you and\nyour administrative assistant care to come back to my office with me\nand my secretary, Linda? We like to Easyshare.\nDid I shock\nyou? See, we believe that what consenting adults do in the privacy of\ntheir offices is nobody else\u2019s business but theirs. We\u2019re all grown-ups\nhere. If we decide to explore printing, scanning, and copying, in an\nopen environment of honesty and trust, why shouldn\u2019t we? Linda and I\nfollow our desires, wherever they may take us. I figure, if Kodak\ndidn\u2019t want us enjoying ourselves, they wouldn\u2019t have made the Kodak\nEasyshare 5300 All-in-One Printer. The pictures it prints\ndon\u2019t have borders or boundaries \u2013 why should we?\nListen,\nonly you can decide what you want. But I\u2019ll tell you, since Linda and I\nstarted printing with our special friends, it\u2019s only brought us closer\nto each other. The Easyshare 5300 has so much to give, with its\nhigh-density printhead and its vivid 3\u201d LCD, that it just seems selfish to keep it to ourselves. \nSo\ntalk to your guy there. If you want to come along \u2013 or if just one of\nyou does \u2013 we\u2019d be happy to have you. No pressure, no expectations.\nJust people manipulating each other\u2019s documents, for the sheer fun of\nit.

I couldn\u2019t help noticing you noticing me. My name\u2019s Ron.\nAnd I\u2019ve got a few questions for you. Was it my mustache or my chest\nhair that caught your eye? Can I buy you a drink? And would you and\nyour administrative assistant care to come back to my office with me\nand my secretary, Linda? We like to Easyshare.\nDid I shock\nyou? See, we believe that what consenting adults do in the privacy of\ntheir offices is nobody else\u2019s business but theirs. We\u2019re all grown-ups\nhere. If we decide to explore printing, scanning, and copying, in an\nopen environment of honesty and trust, why shouldn\u2019t we? Linda and I\nfollow our desires, wherever they may take us. I figure, if Kodak\ndidn\u2019t want us enjoying ourselves, they wouldn\u2019t have made the Kodak\nEasyshare 5300 All-in-One Printer. The pictures it prints\ndon\u2019t have borders or boundaries \u2013 why should we?\nListen,\nonly you can decide what you want. But I\u2019ll tell you, since Linda and I\nstarted printing with our special friends, it\u2019s only brought us closer\nto each other. The Easyshare 5300 has so much to give, with its\nhigh-density printhead and its vivid 3\u201d LCD, that it just seems selfish to keep it to ourselves. \nSo\ntalk to your guy there. If you want to come along \u2013 or if just one of\nyou does \u2013 we\u2019d be happy to have you. No pressure, no expectations.\nJust people manipulating each other\u2019s documents, for the sheer fun of\nit. With a multi-function printer like the Kodak Easyshare 5300,\nthere\u2019s always enough pleasure to go around.<strong>Warranty:<\/strong> 90 day Kodak\n<strong>Features:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n    <li>2 Cartridge 6 ink system prints out Kodak lab-quality pictures that last a lifetime<\/li>\n    <li>Large, high-resolution 3.0 in.

If you have an opinion\u00a0share on\u00a0this topic (and I hope you do), please take a minute or two to scan over my own (mostly negative) notions on extended warranties below:<\/B>\nI was shocked a year or two ago reading a well known consumer advocate magazine to see a serious recommendation that folks should consider buying extended warranties for notebook computers. \nEssentially, the blurb said,\u00a0the high value, repair frequency\u00a0and high cost of potential repair can make the insurance a reasonable bet. I had always enjoyed vigorously turning down extended warranty offers whenever pitched at the time of purchase and I regularly cringed in agony when a family or friend told me how \u201cgood\u201d they felt buying an extended warranty for their car or latest gadget because it was going to be \u201cprotected now.\u201d I proudly followed a strict line of thought that extended warranties were for suckers and put them in the category of things that <A href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2006\/07\/22\/business\/yourmoney\/22money.html?_r=2&pagewanted=1&oref=slogin\">subsidize lower pricing for the rest of us<\/A>.\nHowever, it didn\u2019t take me that long to begrudgingly accept that the logic behind this new advice was sound, especially as intended for the majority demographic of the magazine. It was annoying to have to accept an exception to a rule I enjoyed being a smart-ass about, but then again might regular warranties be shortened and product complexity increased to the extent that this advice would grow even more valid? I filed a mental note to myself that this was an area to watch, as gadget convergence of course continues and more things become expensive, complex\u00a0and\u00a0impossible for consumers to repair\u00a0like the notebooks this advice was based on. \nLike many of you, I\u2019ve gone through several notebooks over the years, now plastic baggies full of disassembled useless parts, due to some hardware glitch, hard drive failure that I never fixed, or some hack I half-attempted before giving up and upgraded to a newer, faster model. I have a closet full of junk too disassembled and broken to even throw in a bag of crap. Certainly thousands of dollars spent. Occasionally I might feel a bit wasteful in my consumerism but then again I\u2019m sort of supporting the faster evolution of computing power by upgrading quicker, right? \nAll in all, I still feel like extended warranties are not for me yet. Some combination of not being able to come full reverse on my original analysis, my guess of the profit margin generally involved, or just that the future thought of trying to get warranty service is too depressing to consider at time of purchase. But, I have come to understand that I\u2019m a higher risk-taking consumer than many of my family\/friends and my time value may not apply to them. I no longer react quite so vigorously negative when offered or cringe when I\u2019m told someone I respect splurged for an extra\/longer support option. \nI\u2019d love to hear Wooter opinions as\u00a0we balance options. We receive regular requests for warranty offers via email and in the forums\u2014if that was you, now\u2019s the time to speak up.\u00a0 Defend your requests!\u00a0Are there items that Woot might sell from time to time such as TVs, notebooks, gadgets where you believe that extended warranty purchase is a logical buyers choice? Is it based on the cost of the item? How about extended warranty on refurbished items? What are your thoughts on appropriate cost of an extended warranty in percentage terms for 2 or 3 year coverage? \nthanks for your support<BR>\nmatt\nprevious entries:<BR>\n<A title=\"Fatwallet \/ Slickdeals\" href=\"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5390\">CEO, Interrupted: Crowdsourcing Hot Deals<\/A><BR>\n<A href=\"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5372\">CEO, Interrupted: <I>LiveShopping<\/I> aka Worldwide Wooting<\/A><BR>\n<A title=\"and put your helmet on\" href=\"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5342\">CEO, Interrupted: Take your protein pills<\/A><BR>\n<A href=\"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5299\">CEO, Interrupted: Snapster\u2019s unfortunate alter ego<\/A>\n","link":"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5668","img_url":"","media_url":"","year":null,"month":null,"day":null,"hour":null,"minute":null,"second":null,"score":null,"hash":"","creation_date":"1218789747","modified_date":"1218789747","type":"","lat_lon":"37.09024,-95.712891","image":"","location":"USA","datetime":"Aug 14, 2008 7:35 PM GMT","specificity":"n","disp_date":"Aug 14, 2008 12:35 PM","timelines":[],"te_score":"0","tid":"feed*26bf5a55e9e86adc","parents":["dt*f8c011fd770cebab"]},"227ca5fbf4f2c537":{"eid":"227ca5fbf4f2c537","username":"rromanchuk","title":"Dazzle DVD Recorder","utc_ts":"1218776428","descrptn":"<a href='http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/wootsaleimages\/Pinnacle_Dazzle_DVD_Recorderq33Detail.jpg'><\/a>...I said \u201cNo, I don\u2019t <em>know<\/em> that Keyleaigh is allergic to\npeanuts.

(hey we have changed... right?)\u00a0 I'm sure we irritated, disappointed or at least bored plenty of these first 5k buying woot members and they continued their enjoyable risk-taking early adopter travels elsewhere on the internet, popping up at Digg, Flickr, YouTube, and other\u00a0flash in the pan 2004\/2005 Web 2.0 ventures :)\nSo how many Woot Charter Members are still out there who remember us?\u00a0 How many people are they likely responsible for telling about Woot?\u00a0 What do they think about the neighborhood now that a million more people followed them?\u00a0 What core observation and advice did they have that we've still ignored to this day?\u00a0 \nCurious CEO's want to know these things.\u00a0 I'm announcing a \"virtual reunion\" thread\u00a0here\u00a0on this blog post\u00a0and\u00a0giving $10 off gift\/coupon codes for\u00a0Charter Members who check in on this thread over the next week or so.\u00a0 This is 0.3% of our members, so I'll also email them of this plan\u00a0later today or very few may notice.\u00a0 Probably hard to have it not look like spam but what the heck, they were gullible enough to buy from us back then.\u00a0\u00a0 \nSo, Charter Members, enjoy a Free Daily Shirt.woot (or a $5 <a href=\"http:\/\/shirt.woot.com\/Blog\/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5638\">pre-reckoned one<\/a>), some Cheap(er) Wine or whatever craptacular gadget you might find at woot.com or sellout.woot through the end of 2008.\u00a0 You deserved it back then, when you survived what I'm sure was the riskiest ecommerce proposition since Amazon's 1995 \"internet\" launch must have been.\u00a0 And those customers probably didn't get diddly.\u00a0 \nHave questions about the origins of Woot?\u00a0 Are you a 2004 or 2005 almost charter Woot Member wanting to brag?\u00a0 Anyone feel free to comment here, you just won't all\u00a0be getting paid.\u00a0 ","link":"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5685","img_url":"http:\/\/wootblogimages.s3.amazonaws.com\/woot-purple.jpg","media_url":"","year":null,"month":null,"day":null,"hour":null,"minute":null,"second":null,"score":null,"hash":"","creation_date":"1218833641","modified_date":"1218833641","type":"","lat_lon":"-21.115141,55.536384","image":"http:\/\/wootblogimages.s3.amazonaws.com\/woot-purple.jpg","location":"Reunion","datetime":"Aug 15, 2008 4:40 PM GMT","specificity":"n","disp_date":"Aug 15, 2008 9:40 AM","timelines":[],"te_score":"0","tid":"feed*26bf5a55e9e86adc","parents":["dt*f8c011fd770cebab"]},"cb0d17faf8cc7399":{"eid":"cb0d17faf8cc7399","username":"rromanchuk","title":"Hey, Is That Our Own Horn?: The Complete Sell-Off Saga","utc_ts":"1218823200","descrptn":"Remember the time you made that great drawing of the squid fighting\nthe giant robot and then you ran home to show your Mom only to find out\nthat she had to take your little sister to the hospital and you were\nspending the night with your maiden aunt who thought cartoons were a\nsin and only watched <em>Dynasty<\/em> reruns?

The two-pack of Philips SHE2617 In-Ear\nHeadphones ran gayly through the fields of their childhood, positively\nbubbling with joy! Bluery rode Bluepin\u2019s back, and then Bluepin rode\nSam. Yet Sam never once strayed too far from the side of his master,\nBluedo. For there was still a great darkness about Bluedo, as though\nhis Neodymium magnets had ceased to function and his Flexi-Grip was\nfailing to make a strong, flexible connection. So it cheered Sam to no\nend to see Bluedo with a smile upon his face, and his 15mm speaker\ndriver providing optimized comfort.\nAnd why not? For the\nfour friends were together once more, two pairs, each side by side with\nthe life-partner with whom they most adored. Was it not Bludeo and Sam\nwho chose the path to Mount Flamer when no one else dared? Was it not\nBluery and Bluepin who ran off to the big city and became friends with\nan hundred year old tree-man who paid their rent? And now, at last,\nthey were together again, just like they had been when they were\nyounger, like that day they ran naked on the lawn of a complete\nstranger who lived in the middle of the woods without a care in the\nworld. The stories they told, the secrets they shared, oh, it was like\nmagic!\nAt sunset, the Philips SHE2617 In-Ear\nHeadphones sat on the old stone wall and looked at the rainbow, their\ntwin vents balancing the high sounds with the bass tones. They knew\nthat whatever came next, be it iPod, Sansa or iPhone, it was something\nthat two pack of Philips SHE2617 In-Ear Headphones would find a way to gayly overcome, just like they gayly overcame the day they were surprised by that bear!\nBut\nmemories were best shared around a fire, and it was growing dark. So\nthey skipped down the hill, hand in hand, Bluery and Bluepin, Bluedo\nand Sam, Philips SHE2617 In-Ear Headphones\ntwo packs all, off to a single room at the inn and a good night\u2019s rest,\nand, with luck, they would awaken feeling twice as gay, and be ready\nfor their next big, manly adventure.<strong>Warranty:<\/strong> 1 Year Philips\n<strong>Features:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n    <li>In-ear headphones with a balanced, and natural sound<\/li>\n    <li>Neodymium magnet enhances bass performance and sensitivity<\/li>\n    <li>Twin vents balance the high sounds and bass tones<\/li>\n    <li>15mm speaker driver optimizes wearing comfort<\/li>\n    <li>Ear cushions improve wearing comfort and bass response<\/li>\n    <li>Durable Flexi-Grip makes a strong flexible connection <\/li>\n    <li>Works great with iPod, Sansa, or iPhone 3G<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<strong>Specifications:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n    <li>Acoustic system: Open<\/li>\n    <li>Magnet type: Neodymium<\/li>\n    <li>Voice coil: Copper<\/li>\n    <li>Diaphragm: Mylar dome<\/li>\n    <li>Frequency response: 12 \u2013 22 000 Hz<\/li>\n    <li>Impedance: 16 Ohm<\/li>\n    <li>Maximum power input: 50 mW<\/li>\n    <li>Sensitivity: 106 dB<\/li>\n    <li>Speaker diameter: 15 mm<\/li>\n    <li>Type: Dynamic<\/li>\n    <li>Cable Connection: Two-parallel, symmetric<\/li>\n    <li>Cable length: 1.0 m<\/li>\n    <li>Connector: 3.5 mm stereo<\/li>\n    <li>Finishing of connector: Chrome plated<\/li>\n    <li>Type of cable: Copper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<strong>In the box:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n    <li>2 Sets of Philips SHE2617 In-Ear Headphones<\/li>\n<\/ul><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Forums\/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=2513327\">Discuss this product<\/a><br \/>Price: 4.9900<a href=\"https:\/\/www.woot.com\/Member\/WantOne.aspx?id=b18ad372-4eb5-45fb-a270-03030af37c35\">I want one!<\/a>","link":"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5702","img_url":"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/wootsaleimages\/Philips_In-Ear_Headphones___2_PackwsbThumbnail.jpg","media_url":"","year":null,"month":null,"day":null,"hour":null,"minute":null,"second":null,"score":null,"hash":"","creation_date":"1219155968","modified_date":"1219155968","type":"","lat_lon":"","image":"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/wootsaleimages\/Philips_In-Ear_Headphones___2_PackwsbThumbnail.jpg","datetime":"Aug 19, 2008 5:00 AM GMT","specificity":"n","disp_date":"Aug 18, 2008 10:00 PM","timelines":[],"te_score":"0","tid":"feed*26bf5a55e9e86adc","parents":["dt*f8c011fd770cebab"]},"a2b274ce0ee3187d":{"eid":"a2b274ce0ee3187d","username":"rromanchuk","title":"WWWoundup: Folk Art, Let's Laugh","utc_ts":"1219164300","descrptn":"There is infinitely more variety to human visual expression than you'll ever see in a museum.

Prince Sjc\u00e5ost\u00f8tn\nrefuses to listen to reason about his ridiculous proposal of marriage.\nNo matter how Her Majesty and I plead with him to come to his senses,\nhe insists: \u201cIt is my divine right as heir to the throne of Norway to\nmarry who I like. You yourself married a commoner \u2013 is a penguin really\nso different, father?\u201d This crisis is shaping up to be even worse than\nhis nude visit to the Wailing Wall.\n<em>August 2:<\/em> While\nPrince Sjc\u00e5ost\u00f8tn is off to the fleshpots of Pittsburgh, I\u2019ve taken a\ndifferent tack to stopping this disgraceful courtship: approaching the\npenguin girl\u2019s father, Nils Olav, to ascertain what influence he may\nexert over his daughter. King penguins are said to be rather protective\nof their offspring, so I am hopeful that he, too, will see the folly in\nthis abominable coupling.\n<em>August 6:<\/em> Received Nils\nOlav in the royal court. I found him quite agreeable, and willing to\nhelp \u2013 for a price. He\u2019s demanding a military commission with the\nKing\u2019s Guards, and a rather large sum of kroner. But the reputation of\nthe crown must be defended, at any cost. Such are the burdens of\nleadership.\n<em>August 8:<\/em> Sjc\u00e5ost\u00f8tn due back from\nPittsburgh tomorrow. Nils Olav making more demands. Now wants a Sandisk\nSansa e260 4GB Media Player for all 1,200 penguins in his colony \u2013 his\n\u201csubjects\u201d, he calls them. I tried to point out that the controls,\nearbuds, and 1.8\u201d TFT screen are entirely\nunsuited to the penguin physique. He just laughed \u2013 chattered, really \u2013\nand repeated his demand. He hinted darkly that he may approach the\npress. And the penguin media is ruthless. No libel laws or some such.\nPrince Sjc\u00e5ost\u00f8tn, why must you put your dear parents through such\ntrials?\n<em>August 11:<\/em> A rather distasteful call from\nColonel-in-Chief Nils Olav today. In his honking voice, he demanded a\nfull knighthood and public ceremony in return for keeping his daughter\naway from my son. What choice have I? Oh, to be a lad again, cavorting\nin the fjords, spearing whitefish, not a blackmailing penguin in sight.\n<em>August 15:<\/em> Ceremony today. Nils Olav, the scheming blackguard, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zr4VLMAEZ-E\">couldn\u2019t have been more smug<\/a>\nabout the whole unappetizing business. I suppose I must call him Sir\nNils now. The entire world must be laughing. How I long to join them.\nBut at the very least, my son will be saved from utter disgrace. When I\nstart to imagine what his time with her must be like \u2013 but I mustn\u2019t.\nThe calamity has been averted.\n<em>August 18:<\/em> Scandal!\nWhat do I find in the pages of my morning news-sheet? Prince Sjc\u00e5ost\u00f8tn\nand his penguin-friend, photographed leaving an Internet cafe in Ibiza\n\u2013 in the company of her father!

Two of our number, Dave and Luke, go every year - but this year, along with the capes and the chainmail, an elite few among the GenCon mob were lookin' sharp in their Shirt.Woot finery...\nUnlike previous years, there were no reported zombie fatalities at GenCon 2008.

Real heartwarming, you know? I\u2019ve had better introductions in court!\nBut enough about the talent. We\u2019re here to talk about the HP Pavilion Slimline S3320F,\nthe only computer to buy if there\u2019s nothing better in the trunk of the\nguy\u2019s car. But doesn\u2019t he look great, folks? Thin, slender, fits right\nin everywhere. I ran into him in the bathroom earlier tonight, I says\n\u201cHey, tell me a secret: how do you keep so thin at your age?\u201d \u2018Course,\nI couldn\u2019t really tell what he was saying with his fingers down his\nthroat!\nHe\u2019s a real inspiration, isn\u2019t he? This computer is\nliving proof that you can be born with all the advantages \u2013 a leading\nbrand-name, a 500GB hard drive, a 16X DVD\u00b1R\/RW lightscribe drive, a built-in HDTV tuner \u2013 and still wind up on the remainder pile! A real riches-to-rags story, this guy, huh?\nThe college kids, though, they love the HP Pavilion S3320F. There\u2019s something about the built-in TV tuners that drives them wild, especially when you pair it with <a href=\"http:\/\/sellout.woot.com\/\">a nice LCD monitor<\/a>.\nThen they get a little older, stop smoking dope, and realize they need\na real computer! But it\u2019s fun while it lasts \u2013 like a high colonic!\nOnly more expensive!\nBut here\u2019s what I don\u2019t get: he\u2019s got a\n64-bit Athlon processor but runs the 32-bit version of Vista. Somebody\nwanna tell me, what kind of sense does that make? Who installed your\nOS, Stevie Wonder? \nNow, I don\u2019t want to call the HP Pavilion Slimline S3320F\ncheap. But mine is still sticky from the Cracker Jacks! It\u2019s those\nChinese-made parts that keep the price down, you know. Only problem is,\nyou want to buy another Slimline S3320F an hour later! And hey, you believe those 6 USB ports? What do you need 6 USB ports for? I haven\u2019t seen so many unused holes since the Slimline S3320F\u2019s last round of golf!\nIn\nall seriousness, folks, I know you share my dream, that someday there\nwill be an affordable, feature-rich, high-quality PC in every home in\nAmerica. In the meantime, we\u2019ll just have to make do with the HP Pavilion Slimline S3320F! Thank you!

Who are those\nhandsome devils perched at #25? Why, it\u2019s your friendly neighborhood <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inc.com\/inc5000\/2008\/company-profile.html?id=200800250\">Woot<\/a>. \nWhat\u2019s more, Carrollton\u2019s pride and shame was ranked <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inc.com\/inc5000\/2008\/lists\/dallas-fort-worth-arlington-tx.html?sort=listrank&order=&o=0\">the fastest-growing private company in the Dallas area<\/a>.

The Inc. people thought enough of us to devote a couple of pages to an interview with our CEO\nand Dear Leader, Matt Rutledge, complete with a portrait of Matt\nrelaxing with one of his robot pals. (See it on newsstands this Friday,\nor bear with us as we sort out a link to an online version, coming\nsoon.)\nThese rankings are based on percentage revenue growth\nover the last three years, so this is the first time we\u2019ve been old\nenough to qualify \u2013 not a bad little coming-out party for a company\njust out of diapers. And our first-year revenues were higher than many\ncompanies in the top 25, so we\u2019re extra-double proud of the\n\u201cfastest-growing\u201d tag, since we weren\u2019t starting from zero.\nWhen\nwe finished admiring ourselves, we remembered what brought us to this\nlofty echelon: you guys. Without your enthusiasm, your word-of-mouth\nevangelism, and of course your money, all we\u2019d have is a warehouse full\nof junk and a couple of frustrated writers who think they\u2019re funny.

And you too, Tennessee, he\u2019s your fella.\nThese\nRM30s have Power Port Bass Vents hidden under the grills, which will\nprovide you a relentless lower-midrange that just won\u2019t quit, just like\nPresident Polk didn\u2019t quit during the annexation of Texas and the\nfollowing war with Mexico. And it\u2019s a little known fact that Polk was\nmagnetically shielded for safe placement near televisions or monitors. \nPolk was also a believer in Manifest Destiny. That\u2019s why the Polk Audio RM30 On-wall\nSatellite Speaker with Stand has a broad dispersion design that makes\nsure the sound goes everywhere and remains as clear and well-balanced\nas a Iowa schoolteacher. Also we\u2019ve noticed that people from Iowa tend\nto get very excited whenever someone remembers to mention them so we\u2019ll\ngo ahead and do that here. Hi, Iowa! You guys rock!\nSomething\nelse you might not know: President James K. Polk chose as his\nPostmaster General a man named Cave Johnson. Wouldn\u2019t you like to be\nnamed Cave? Wouldn\u2019t you also like Swivel Wall-Mounting brackets with\nHidden Wire Channels? Or Five Way Binding Post Inputs?\nJames Polk accomplished an incredible amount in only one single term, dying less than a year out of office. The Polk Audio RM30 On-wall\nSatellite Speaker with Stand comes with a five year Polk Audio warranty\nso you don\u2019t have to worry about that.

You\u2019ve got a big 7\u201d TFT LCD screen that can also be used by portable DVD players and gaming devices on long car trips. So what business do you have trying to play MP3s? Why tart yourself up like that?\nFor\none thing, it\u2019s not impressing anybody. Audio players with little-to-no\ninternal memory, dependent on SD cards for music storage, went out back\nwhen Joe Lieberman was still considered a viable Democratic\npresidential candidate. Oh, wait, that was never. But you get our point.\nFor another, it\u2019s not necessary. By this time, the public has been deluged with so many cheapo MP3 players that anybody who doesn\u2019t have one is either deaf, flat broke, or an AARP member. You\u2019re not going to entice those demographics by cramming an audio player into this otherwise adequate GPS unit.\nAnd,\nwell, that FM transmitter\u2026it degrades us both. Such transparent\npandering. Such desperation. Please, if you\u2019re not going to respect us,\nat least respect yourself.\nThere\u2019s so much about you to\nlike. Turn-by-turn voice guidance, the TeleAtlas maps of North America\non the included 2GB SD card, those auxiliary video inputs.

Hope you\u2019re all\nenjoying your weekend. I wanted to get this update out during the week\nbut time ran short and I want it up by Monday.. \nBack on the 14th, I started a discussion about Extended Warranties and asked <a href=\"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5668\">what\u2019s your take<\/a>.\nI started off the thread expressing that while I\u2019m still personally\nnot keen on extended warranty purchase, I was starting to loosen up on the\nsubject for specific cases. We received good number of detailed,\nbalanced and well expressed opinions from many of you. I really\nappreciate the effort. \nThe high-level summary of our\nextended warranty goal should be apparent and now validated: To craft a\nwarranty option or recommendation with a reputable service\nprovider, at a reasonable price and, perhaps most importantly, with a\nlimited annoyance factor to those philosophically against the option.\nReally, our bottom line desire is that no one pass up a Woot purchase\ndue to lack of the option.\nConveniently enough, a few Wooters mentioned their use of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.squaretrade.com\/\">SquareTrade<\/a>,\na third party warranty provider that pitches itself as\nconsumer-centric, offers a fair amount of transparency by linking\nuncensored user reviews, and even publishes a <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.squaretrade.com\/\">blog<\/a>\nto chat with it\u2019s user base. Some of you will remember them from their\neBay mediation service. They were the prime candidate Woot was\nconsidering going into the discussion and they are in fact who we\u2019ve\nselected. I believe they offer the best match for our needs in\nexecution and implementation. Further, they have fairly robust support\nfor extended warranty of refurbished items, and accidental damage\npolicy options on new items \u2013 both potential matches for Woot\u2019s varied\nofferings.\nOver the past 6 months I have met with and discussed\nphilosophy with their co-founder and chief operating officer, who I\u2019m\npleased to report is now a Wooter. We see eye to eye on many issues and\nworked out some details involving consumer experience. He readily\nsupported our requests for a light implementation. He and his team will\nwork with us to get reports on warranty operations and, in advance of\nWoot events, warranty authorization.\nHow \"lite\" is our implementation? Well, the reality is that some Wooters already use\nSquareTrade to extend their Woot and Manufacturer warranties on their\nown. All we\u2019re doing in Stage 1 of our integration is creating this\nfeedback thread for Wooters to discuss and adding a link on our write\nup. You\u2019ll see on the front page of woot when an item is authorized for\nSquareTrade extended warranty and you can head over there and consider\nthe option at your leisure. Stage 2 we\u2019ll add an opt-in request for\ninfo on certain items at checkout. That\u2019s it. One of the best features\nis you have up to 30 days from date of sale to purchase a SquareTrade\nwarranty, so you don\u2019t have to decide at time of Woot purchase (the\nSquareTrade opt-in reminder can come in handy there to catch the 30 day\nmark).\nWhile this of \"extended warranty lite\" should have\nvery few downsides, it remains valid to gather Woot member input now\nand in the future. I would like to designate this thread for sharing of\nresearch and experience with regards to SquareTrade. Of course keep in\nmind that no warranty company is without it\u2019s detractors\u2014extended\nwarranties are crafted to suit the needs of insurance\ncompanies, so it\u2019s not like they\u2019re some gift to the world. There\nexists and will continue to exist points of reported drama and\ncontention and your decision should consider them. \nI would\nhave liked to dive in and explain details and highlights from\nSquareTrade such as excluded items, coverage details, pricing, etc. but\nfor now I\u2019m going to have to rely on Wooter comments here and what\nSquareTrade has published. Woot will work with SquareTrade to authorize\nvarious items that we highlight warranty availability on and may offer commentary per item. I\u2019ll follow\nup on any specific questions here in the thread.","link":"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5728","img_url":"","media_url":"","year":null,"month":null,"day":null,"hour":null,"minute":null,"second":null,"score":null,"hash":"","creation_date":"1219545601","modified_date":"1219545601","type":"","lat_lon":"","image":"","datetime":"Aug 23, 2008 6:32 PM GMT","specificity":"n","disp_date":"Aug 23, 2008 11:32 AM","timelines":[],"te_score":"0","tid":"feed*26bf5a55e9e86adc","parents":["dt*f8c011fd770cebab"]},"c1f923393d5b94c1":{"eid":"c1f923393d5b94c1","username":"rromanchuk","title":"Mediocre 6 Piece Luggage Set","utc_ts":"1219554033","descrptn":"<a href='http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/wootsaleimages\/Mediocre_6_Piece_Luggage_SetgkdDetail.jpg'><\/a>Paris!

And then we\u2019re mostly\nstaying in our motel rooms. At least they have cable.\nWhat\nbetter accessories for a mediocre vacation than this 6-piece set of\nmediocre luggage?

Free workout included.<\/strong>\nRemember when you were a kid, and you thought everybody you saw on\nTV actually lived inside it? Well, the Olevia 265TFHD is one TV that\u2019s\nup to the job. Laid diagonally from one corner to another, any number\nof stars could fit, life-size, on its mega-humongoid 65\u201d screen.\nScarlett Johansson would have plenty of room. So would Mel Brooks or\nRenee Zellweger or any one of the Three Stooges. From Danny De Vito to\nPrince, from James Madison to Dolly Parton, today\u2019s best and shortest\nentertainers could take a reasonably comfortable nap right there on the\nhigh-quality Sharp LCD panel.\nDon\u2019t\nlet them, though. Not even Scarlett Johansson. Because the TV would\nbreak. And you wouldn\u2019t be able to enjoy your favorite movies, TV\nshows, and video games in hi-def hyper-enormo-vision. Our purchasing\nguys thought they knew what a big TV was. But when they saw this Olevia\n65-incher, the second thing they did was say \u201cWe\u2019ll take it.\u201d The first\nthing they did was scrape their jaws off the floor and put their\neyeballs back in their sockets.\n50\" and 65\" don\u2019t seem that\nfar apart, do they? Yet the magic of geometry shows that a 65\u201d TV has\n69% more viewing area than a 50\u201d TV. That\u2019s two-thirds bigger \u2013 like\nturning the Three Stooges into the Five Stooges, or 101 Dalmatians into\n170 Dalmatians. And if your of a big TV is a 42\u201d screen, this\nOlevia brings a whopping 139% more viewing area. Still not convinced?\nGo to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.displaywars.com\/\">Display Wars<\/a> and see how this behemoth stacks up against your TV.\nAs awe-inspiringly massive as it is, there\u2019s a lot more to the Olevia 265TFHD than sheer size. There\u2019s the cinema-grade Realta HQV video processor, which wouldn\u2019t normally be caught dead on a low-rent web site like this. There\u2019s the <a href=\"http:\/\/findarticles.com\/p\/articles\/mi_m0EIN\/is_2007_Oct_15\/ai_n21041065\">aforementioned Sharp LCD panel, from the geniuses who brought you the Aquos line of LCDs<\/a>. (What better screen to watch your <a href=\"http:\/\/sellout.woot.com\/\">HD TiVo<\/a>\non?) There\u2019s the 1080p resolution and the 6ms response time and the\ncolors and the luxuriant piano-lacquer finish and the on-screen menus\nand the one-year in-house Olevia warranty and, and, and\u2026\nSorry. We get a little carried away sometimes.\nAnd\nso did Syntax Brillian. They valiantly dared to challenge the holy\nprice-quality-speed triangle. Unfortunately, their low-price-for-high\nquality equation had them speeding towards Chapter 11. Of course, we\npounced on the opportunity to get our greedy mitts on these TVs. Syntax\npromises their on-site warranty coverage will remain in full effect.\nAnd if you\u2019d like a little more security, we\u2019ve worked out pre-authorized\ncoverage through SquareTrade, our preferred third-party warranty\nprovider. (See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5728\">our blog post on SquareTrade<\/a>\nfor more.) That means we think their three-year coverage price is fair.\nAlso, they always have such nice breath. They must carry Altoids around\nor something.\nWe understand a purchase like this is a big\ndecision. So think it over. Ask yourself whether you\u2019re ready for the\nresponsibilities of monstrous TV ownership. Measure your living room to\nmake sure a 65\u201d TV will fit. Examine your feelings to make sure you can\nlive with its shortcomings, like offering only 2 HDMI inputs and\u2026uh\u2026well, we\u2019re sure it must have other shortcomings, even if we can\u2019t find them.\nThen,\nonce you\u2019ve made the only decision a rational being could possibly\nmake, run like hell for that \u201cI Want One!\u201d button. We don\u2019t often see\nTVs like this around here. And we don\u2019t expect them to stick around\nlong. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that Warwick Davis or Verne\nTroyer-sized TV you\u2019ve been watching. But you don\u2019t want to miss your\nshot at Marilyn Monroe.Note: This item will be shipped by truck and delivery will take 7-14 days.

If you\u2019re a Red Sox fan, the answer might be \u201cas long as it takes\nto pull on a clean pair of boxers\u201d. But if you\u2019ve got an Orion\nStainless Steel Convection Outdoor Cooker, the answer is three hours\nand thirty minutes.\nYou see, the Orion Stainless Steel\nConvection Outdoor Cooker uses an innovative two-step process of\nconvection and steam to cook your dish of choice fully and quickly. A\ntwenty pound turkey in a little more than two hours. A three pound\nsalmon filet in just thirty minutes. A bag of pizza rolls in\u2026 well,\nthat isn\u2019t on the <a href=\"http:\/\/orionoutdoors.com\/products\/cooker\/\">list<\/a>, but it would probably take about three or four minutes. More or less. We\u2019re kinda estimating, you know.\nThe\nOrion Stainless Steel Convection Outdoor Cooker is the answer to the\nultimate question of outdoor cooking: \u201cHow can I do as little as\npossible on this vacation and still be able to eat non-stop?\u201d If you\ncan add charcoal, light a match, and sit down, you can handle the\nOrion. If you can\u2019t, maybe it\u2019s better you starve. We\u2019re sorry, but\nwe\u2019ve got to think of the species as a whole.\nWith your\nOrion Stainless Steel Convection Outdoor Cooker you\u2019ll be getting three\nrib hangers, three cooking grates, and poultry stand with lifting\nhandle that can hold a 24 pound turkey. Clean up is easy (unless some tried to make pizza rolls) and it\u2019s easy to add wood for that\nextra smokey taste. And if you want to make a <a href=\"http:\/\/wine.woot.com\/\">marinade<\/a>, you can do that too!\nPretend\nyou had a choice to make. Would you rather die screaming while being\nmauled by a tiger that was eating you raw or slowly drift away on a\npillow of steam, knowing you were being lovingly prepared to bring joy\nto others in a stadium parking lot? Easy answer, right? So why not give\nyour food the same respect?

Me and my new Matsunichi Photo Blitz 7\u201d PF7e\nDigital Picture Frame. Who needs one of those tricked-out photo frames\nthat can play music and videos and stuff? Not me. All I want is to be\nable to view my digital photos. Oh, hey, here\u2019s an old memory card.\nWonder what\u2019s on this one\u2026\nWow, this must be old. That\u2019s me\nand Alison, back when we took that trip to Wyoming wine country. After\nhow bad things got later, I forget we had some pretty good times\ntogether. But then she turned into a total drag, always getting after\nme to pay back that money I borrowed from her mom. You believe she even\ntold me I should pawn my Xbox? Yeah, right. Like I was gonna\nvoluntarily limit myself to just a PS2 and a GameCube. No wonder I had to dump her.\nOh,\nhey, I took this one when we first moved in together. Man, was that a\nmistake. Alison always wanted to talk and whatever when I was trying to\nrelax. It was like, I\u2019d come home from work and she\u2019d immediately start\ngrilling me about how my day was and did I want to go out to eat or see\na movie. I guess I\u2019m just the kind of person who\u2019s happier on my own,\nlike I am now.\nNow what\u2019s going on in this one? Is\nthat\u2026yeah. That\u2019s us at one of her stupid volleyball games. Talk about\nboring, man. She did look pretty good in those shorts, though. Whoa.\nThis 7\u201d, 480\u00d7234 TFT LCD really shows off her legs. I always thought she had great legs.\nHeh.\nI didn\u2019t know this picture was on here. That\u2019s the birthday cake she\nmade me. It was pretty cool, actually. She, like, called my friend Ted\nto ask him what D&D miniatures to buy, and she made this whole\nscene on top of the cake. She actually painted them herself. See that,\nthere? That\u2019s my guy, a half-elf Ranger, and he\u2019s fighting off those\nowlbears over there. I\u2019ll say this for Alison, it\u2019s hard to find a girl\nwho even knows what an owlbear is, much less who\u2019d be willing to paint\na miniature of one.\nAw, man. I remember this. Usually Alison\nwas off to work by the time I woke up. She had to be at work crazy\nearly, like 9 in the morning. But this one morning I woke up early for\nno reason. She just looked so beautiful and peaceful lying there\nasleep, I had to take a picture of her. I mean, just look at her.\nShe\u2019s, she\u2019s like some kind of angel or something.\nOh, no.\nNot this one. See, this was at the hospital right after I broke my leg.\nIt was pretty dumb \u2013 Ted bet me I couldn\u2019t jump from our porch roof to\nthe roof of the porch next door. I totally thought I could, but later\nwe measured the space between the two roofs and the jump would\u2019ve had\nto\u2019ve been a world record or something to make it. Anyway, Alison took\nme to the emergency room, she wheeled me home, she brought me all these\ntreats while I was recuperating\u2026it was pretty awesome\u2026my God, what have\nI done? How stupid could I have been?\nI\u2019ve gotta get her\nback. Right now. I\u2019ve been such an Where\u2019s my phone? Ah, here,\nhere, now let me see\u2026Alison, Alison\u2026here we go\u2026\n\u201cHello, Alison? It\u2019s me. Yeah, Corey. Hey, listen, I was just \u2013 hello? Alison?

The popular (and awesome) consumer-rights blog <a href=\"http:\/\/consumerist.com\/5044633\/quickest-measure-of-gustavs-negative-economic-impact-woots-per-capita\">The Consumerist<\/a>\nseized on our Woots Per Capita Map to get a quick read on the economic\nimpact of Hurricane Gustav. They noticed Louisiana was much darker on\nSeptember 2 than it had been on August 2, and concluded that Pelican\nStaters have better things to do right now than buy cheap SD cards\nonline.\nIn all seriousness, our sympathies are with anybody\ndisplaced by Gustav or the other storms in the Gulf this season. We\nwon\u2019t take your inactivity personally. Some things in life are more\nimportant than \u2013 yes \u2013 even Woot.\nBut we thought it would be\ninteresting to refine The Consumerists\u2019s quick \u2018n\u2019 dirty assessment\nwith a bit more detail. We\u2019ve got all these stats laying around, so we\nmight as well do something with them.\nLouisiana represents\n1.53% of the U.S. population, and usually a somewhat lower percentage\nof Woot orders, like its neighbors Mississippi and Alabama. On the day\nthe Consumerist chose for their \u201cbefore\u201d image, it just so happened\nthat we were selling the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5587\">Cummins P2400 Onan 2000 Watt Homesite Generator<\/a>\n\u2013 exactly the kind of thing Louisianans would be stocking up on with\nstorm season coming. That day, Louisiana accounted for 2.51% of Woot\nsales, well above their usual. More typically, from July 20 to August\n30 (that\u2019s 116,584 total sales), 0.94% of purchases came from\nLouisiana, somewhat below their percentage of the population. That\u2019s\nwhy their state is darker than average on this map for July 20 through\nAugust 30: \n\nAs\nyou can see, they weren\u2019t way up in the rankings to begin with. But in\nthe first five days after the evacuation order was issued on August 31\n(45,695 total sales), Louisiana sales plummeted to just 0.32% of all\nWoot sales, a 66% drop. And Louisiana was plunged figuratively into\nWoot darkness:\n\nSo\ndespite the \u201cgenerator effect\u201d, The Consumerist\u2019s inital analysis holds\nup pretty well under a broader examination of sales. And that\u2019s the\nGustav story through a glass, wootly. We invite our fellow amateur\nstatisticians out there to share other interesting insights from their\narmchair Woot analyses (like when we noticed <a href=\"http:\/\/shirt.woot.com\/forums\/viewpost.aspx?postid=2139613\">the Confederacy apparently hasn\u2019t quite forgiven Lincoln yet<\/a>).\n<br>","link":"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5798","img_url":"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/https:\/\/wootblogimages.s3.amazonaws.com\/gustavheatmap1.png","media_url":"","year":null,"month":null,"day":null,"hour":null,"minute":null,"second":null,"score":null,"hash":"","creation_date":"1220676692","modified_date":"1220676692","type":"","lat_lon":"30.937336,-91.401009","image":"http:\/\/www.woot.com\/Blog\/https:\/\/wootblogimages.s3.amazonaws.com\/gustavheatmap1.png","location":"Louisiana","datetime":"Sep 5, 2008 5:50 PM GMT","specificity":"n","disp_date":"Sep 5, 2008 10:50 AM","timelines":[],"te_score":"0","tid":"feed*26bf5a55e9e86adc","parents":["dt*f8c011fd770cebab"]},"effd60c79f73b100":{"eid":"effd60c79f73b100","username":"rromanchuk","title":"Vanity Search & Destroy: Like Lightning Bugs Passing In The Night","utc_ts":"1220649300","descrptn":"People just can't seem to stop talking about Woot, on accounta we're so terrific and everything.

Had to write\nit down. Was in an office much like my own, but some years in the\nfuture, with the addition of several large, unfamiliar machines. I\nworked with the machines as if I was already familiar with them. The\nlargest was a roughly rectangular apparatus the size of a large stove.\nThe top hinged open, and under it was glass. I placed a document on the\nglass, pressed a button, and an exact copy of the document came out of\na slot on the machine\u2019s side. Another machine sat on top of a desk, the\nsize and shape of a large book. It too had a glass plate under a hinged\nopening, upon which I placed a sheet of paper, then pressed some\nbuttons. But it didn\u2019t issue a second copy of the paper. I don\u2019t know\nwhat it did. The final apparatus had a slot in its top for inserting a\ndocument. I somehow knew, as one does in dreams, that an exact copy of\nthe document would then emerge somewhere miles (or even thousands of\nmiles) away.\nSuddenly, everything around me shimmered and\nspun, and I felt myself thrown even further into the future, without\nmoving from my spot in the office. Now the three large machines were\ngone, replaced by one. I went to it as if it was an old friend. A name\npopped into my head, unbidden: the HP Officejet Pro L7680 Color\nAll-in-One Printer, Fax, Scanner, Copier. It performed all the same\ntasks I had carried out on the other machines. Then President\nEisenhower appeared, wearing only a loincloth, and hoisting a platter\nof deep-fried, unidentified cuts of meat. \u201cGod made a mistake,\u201d Ike\nsaid to me. \u201cEat the mistake. Eat the mistake.\u201d I turned without\nthinking and there were my parents, only they were naked and they had\ntape over their mouths.
