Actually, if you wanna see something cool beyond cool, there’s these things where the “needle cartridge” is actually a laser — no physical contact with the disc whatsoever, so no needle-wear.:

I so desperately want one of these, but alas, I have insufficient resources at this time….(frown.)

This thing just strikes me as screamingly awesome.

(I did get one of those USB turntables, and all I can say is: Thank the AudioGodz that it also has RCA outputs — the USB audio thing is dissapointing, maybe it’s the codec, I dunno.

But when I saw this thing from Japan, I went all swoony and stuff, like Scarlett O’hara, or Blanche from “StreetCar named desire” or something…..(I’m like that.)

well when you pay 1 million times what i do to transfer text messages then you get what you pay fo rpeople
i use dsl landline and also am not getting suckered into that wireless crap they reinvent as the next thing only its half the speeds and more expensive big time.

savage isn’t a dumb person and his show makes a lot a cash so if hes whining why is it really?

Savage’s twitter:
“I agree with everyone: it shouldn’t just work for me. The data carriers MUST stop thinking in kilobytes and start thinking in customers.”

“They’re claiming I uploaded/downloaded 9 million kilobytes (9 gigs) while in Canada. Frakking impossible.”
“Almost forgot: Hey AT&T! I will fight this bullshit.”
“Text messaging fees are stupid robbery? (they are), AT&T is attempting to charge me 11k for a few hours of web surfing in Canada. Pls RT!”
“@virgiliocorrado I believe the RIAA to be a bunch of venal idiots. I don’t think much of the MPAA either for that matter.”

LOL Welcome to our world….

These made-up fee’s should be a mythbuster show.

Data transfer charges while roaming are a rip off? Myth confirmed!
