Ebay's New Search Experience sucks!

Have been to Ebay lately? Well their new search engine has been testing for awhile. And will be implemented sometime in April. Right now people can opt out(though you have to opt out everytime you go on Ebay because at least for me Ebay somehow opts in everytime I close my browser). If you check the official forums you have alot of pissed off Ebay users. Seems Ebay will be going down fast.

I hope someone like Google starts Google Auctions so Ebay can finally up their game. Look what Gmail did to free email. Now most of the services offer at least 1gig of free email. Before Google got in the game we all had 2mb hotmail accounts.

Hotelicopter an April Fools Joke

Hotelicopter is one of them though the internet caught wind of it a week before April 1st. So next year when April 1st comes around don't belive anything the internet tells you.

Western Digital buy SSD company

Seems like Western Digital wants in on SSD. The leader in hard drives may finally offer up some SSDs for consumers. The acquisition cost $65 million and is effective immediately. SiliconSystems will be making the SSDs and Western Digital will most likely rebrand them their own. Hopefully with Western Digital and Seagate jumping into SSD we should see some price dropping in the future for SSDs all around.

Woodees Inner-ear Sound Isolating Stereo Earphones

For iPod & MP3 Players.

Wood Sounds Richer
Much of music is created with instruments made from natural wood from a finely tuned Steinway piano or Stravinsky violin to classic Fender Stratocaster guitars. The low resonance characteristics of wood provide for efficient, clean, rich reproduction of music which is why all of the most high end home speakers are made of wood. Simply tap on something metal or plastic and then tap on something made of wood, and you will instantly hear the resonance differences between those materials. So, it is only “natural” to create quality earphones from wood. Woodees!

The finest musical instruments have always been made from wood. Woodees from iConnects deliver pure and natural listening pleasure. Wood sounds amazing–nothing beats its deep bass, rich range of sound and inherent low resonance. And for your money, nothing beats Woodees. These natural wood earphones bring out a dense, polished listening experience from your mp3 player. And at about half the price of comparable high-end ear buds, you’re getting the best sound at the best price.

The cord is made with a very low durometer resin that creates a soft, pliable cord that does not develop “memory coil” or kinks when stowed. Additionally, because of the soft nature of the cord the static noise created when the cord brushes against your clothing while walking or jogging does not transfer to the earphone like with the harder plastic cords.

Woodees. Give your ears a pair today.

Features:
*Natural wood housing for deep bass sound
*Solid construction with small form factor, lightweight
*Soft cable for easy management
*3.5 mm stereo plug compatible with all music players
*Fashion-consciouse, ergonomic lightweight design
*Noise-isolating inner ear fit
*Four pairs extra silicone buds for customized fittings (XS/S/M/L)
*Compatible with iPod and all music devices with 3.5mm earphone jack
