MacBook Pro bags and cases
My laptop gets banged around a lot and I'm not satisfied with my case. Plus the rubber one looks cool.

Not a one-stop shop, though: listings are out of date. You'd have no idea by looking at the site that Apple just released new iPods, Canon new digital cameras, etc. How expensive can human category editors be?

Wow, I actually like his writing better than his cartoons.

Ars Technica's guide to tech news and review sites

or: Yellow Machine

as eric says:

"we can now make anything. anything.
milling, lathing, extrusion, injection molding, laser/waterjet cutting. you name it. and, no price quoting. just import your CAD file into their software and it will tell you how much the shit will cost. tweak-repeat. prices are not bad, either."

cleaning your xbox
"...reassemble the Xbox and hope you made things better rather than worse", hmm.
