Tom's Holiday Buying Guide
Thoreau writes "With the holidays just around the corner, it's nice to have some help in finding just the right gift for your gadget hungry friends and family. Tom's Hardware seems to think they have the answers for this year's holiday season. Everything from Swiss Army memory sticks, to monitors that Bill Gates couldn't even afford!"
FTFA: Sex And The Sidekick ???WTF??? How blatant is that????
Christmas buying guides are nothing but adverts anyway, and this article is nothing but a slash-ad. GRRRR. Did you see the boobs on that model holding the side kick? She could sell me SCO stock, if she was holding it like that, petting it gently! (*passes out*)
The dangers of knowledge trigger emotional distress in human beings.
Wow! Mrs Claus is skankier than I had imagined, but for some reason, I just have to buy a T-Mobile Sidekick II.
Why, oh why, does that fat-bellied-white-bearded guy get all the sexy chicks? *sniff*

They don't list a price for the one thing I'd really want...
Kind of hard to read this article at work with dumbass geekboy-Mrs. Claus fantasy pictures plastered everywhere.
There is a girl in the picture. She's wearing a Santa Costume.
I see the usual Tom's Hardware hyperbole is now corrupting Slashdot's tradition of journalistic integrity.
"Monitors that Bill Gates can't even afford?" Bill Gates can afford anything. Entire WALLS of his 9000 sq ft. house are comprised of monitors. Tom's is a consumer whore site that used to publish half-decent articles. Now all they do is hype and shill products.
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
... "NOT SAFE FOR WORK".
If Tom has all the answers about PC HW, including performance, how come they can't handle a run of the mill slashdotting after all these years, when Slashdot itself can handle it?

Maximum PC has their Gear Of The Year on newsstands now and a lot of the items listed on Tom's aren't rated too highly. Many of the things they are pimping here are either overpriced or underperformers.
That said, I REALLY would have enjoyed some shots from the Aibo's webcam during that shoot.

It'd be nice if the link pointed to the FIRST page of the holiday buyer's guide rather than the page where the submitter was spanking his monkey while submitting the /. story.
In Soviet Russia, I ruled you
Seriously, there should be a warning in the post about this.
She's not German. You don't see many German women. In fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, they are often mistaken for German men!
And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there *are* no German women. And the Germans just spring out of holes in the ground! Which is of course ridiculous.
