Are Video Phones Back From The Dead?

Yes, Im sure you can all remember the many attempts to bring video-phonecall technology into the home or office, but unlike the flying car, you can pick up a pair at Fry's today! According to some reviews at USA Today and the WSJ, the product works as advertised. A new way to call Grandma? Or just another silly little toy to collect dust in that hall closet."
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
This is a troll, and quite a common one. It seems to be posted atleast daily, usually more often.
on THREE separate occasions today, when loading an article my browser has stopped on a full screen ORACLE add - stating "DONE" in the status bar. Then AFTER I hit F5 to refresh it continues on to the actual comments section for an article.
Is this some crafty yet slimy marketing ploy that slashdot has implemented? WTF.
HEY Taco - I dont read the ads - I never click on the banners you have etc... so this is just down right lame.
"Where the hell do I find a Frys? Am I the only person whose never heard of the place?"
Look for the place where you need a season pass to get into their customer service line.
