amazon.co.uk have been runinng theirs past couple of days.

I did get a couple of items myself, saved on average 40%.

I got two laptop covers ?5 each, a wrist watch ?5.50, DvD box set, Phoenix Nights and an Umbrella.

I was after software, electronics and computer related. It's been pretty poor.

Monday for example they had Adobe Photoshop elements 10, reduced to ?29.97, hardly any went, so when they re-upped it yesterday, I thought

maybe a more tempting offer, maybe ?19.97, wrong, still same price and hardly any went.

Same with the zumba kit I was going to buy, re-upped and no change in price.

Todays deals are not really tempting, for me anyway.

Check them for yourself (Wednesday's deals): http://www.amazon.co...d_i=navbar-4201

That is a 42'' Vizio LED LCD 3D-TV with WiFi and a QWERTY keyboard for $598 on Black Friday.

That is the one I will be getting, I think. Just worried as it only has two online reviews via Wal-Mart, but there is also a youtube review, that seems decent. I don't know if I trust Vizio though. What has me sold on it is the 240Hz refresh rate and 5,000,000:1 ratio. Them are some good numbers for gaming.

EDIT: Actually that youtube review was a different TV. I can't seem to find any reviews on this TV other than the single one on WalMart.com, which seems shifty itself. :/

2ND EDIT: Also, now looking around, WalMart.com is the only site that says 5,000,000:1 ratio, everywhere else I am seeing it shows it as 100,000:1. Ugh. I hate TVs.

They list it as the same as well. Thinkinkg of checking out that one today too. Still not sure which one I want but ethernet and wifi on this one sounds good.

Just bought my first SSD.

OCZ Vertex 3 120GB CAD $149.99 after MIR

This is the cheapest I've ever seen it. I was planning on getting an Agility 3 when it dropped to $150, but I managed to step it up a notch for the same price.

      Remarkably based article from Garter - apparently there IS someone working there that actually understands mainframe systems.

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      Calling it TDS doesn’t answer the question: why did this site skip prior UFC games but review this one, at this exact political moment?

      Its the timing of its release, mixed with the timing of the review mixed with the timing of the event, when this site never reviewed previous iterations of this game that I could find.
    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature"

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
