Tom's Holiday Buying Guide

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tons-of-stuff-to-crave dept.

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*)

    Wow! Mrs Claus is skankier than I had imagined, but for some reason, I just have to buy a T-Mobile Sidekick II.

    ...instead of looked at the pix (or did both):

    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.

    Kind of hard to read this article at work with dumbass geekboy-Mrs. Claus fantasy pictures plastered everywhere.

    Yeah, but I like a challenge.

  8. Link is wrong by gorbachev · · Score: 5, Funny

    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.
