"Last weekend I finally broke down and bought something I've been wanting for a long time — a new 42-inch flat-screen television. When I started looking, I knew the names of the major brands that were out there, but had no idea which offered the highest quality product. So, of course, without even thinking, I headed straight for the Internet to dig around and see what I could find. Well, there was no shortage of retailers ready to sell me a television, but that was it … few, if any, manufacturers. Sadly, because I wasn't planning on buying at that very moment, it was not such a great help to me." — David Rubinstein, senior director, tech and telecom category at Yahoo
Reporters' Notebook
"The iconic door-to-door salesman personified by the Fuller Brush Man may no longer fill American streets, but the day of the door-to-door salesman is not dead yet. Not only is true door-to-door selling still taking place, but after a recent encounter with one of these men of the asphalt, I believe the modern version of this age-old profession has it much tougher.
It was one thing for a door-to-door salesperson from years past to convince a customer that the vacuum, knife or brush they were selling was better than what the customer already owned. At least such a salesperson can throw some dirt on the carpet or saw a soup can in half as a demonstration right in the customer's home. However, when you are trying to sell fast Internet service, HDTV programming and an improved phone contract, well, then the salesperson really has a tough row to hoe." — Doug Olenick

In response to: Spiderman Coming To Blu-ray, musclematt27, Philadelphia, electronics owner "Blu-ray 'Spiderman 3' for 49.99? Sony is going crazy! They are once again proving no regard for the consumer when it comes to exorbitant prices out of pure greed!"
