I'm not sure what to think of this- by becoming a direct competitor to the Windows 8 app store, isn't Steam losing its differentiation as a specialty store for games? This might end up hurting them in the long run.

At that point, you might as well just build a train.
I made a little over $130 on this program since I always used it when I built computers for friends and family. Fortunately my new CC has rewards but Newegg isn't a member- I guess I'll take my business to Tiger Direct from now on.
Yeah, and it also makes me feel warm that valley high school, which already has a billion IBM laptops including some very nice Core Duo T60s, will probably get even more stuff out of this. Maybe they'll put the money towards more smartboards, those things are fun.
Great. Now our $700 Dish 942 is a piece of junk. Thank you, tivo. I'm sure you really needed all that money anyway, great job helping the consumer. Believe me, I have plenty of contacts (2000+ clients) and word will be spread. "Don't get tivo, get replay tv". Way better product anyways, we sold our 30hr tivo years ago and kept our original 10hr replay tv. The tivo was just worthless- it crashed, it was slow, the replay tv was easier to use. Of course, the hdd in the replay has since been upgraded, and it's still going strong. We also have an LG HD pvr to take over for OTA broadcasts, and dish will just have to be put on D-VHS I guess. There's absolutely no way I'm switching to direct tv and their tivo-infected crap after this.

Not a problem with a Thinkpad.
