The headphones are Beats by Dr De a beautiful set of head phones considering the price, zero. I'm pretty heavily into home theatre and music so I was pretty happy to get these to use with my tablets and phone when away from home.Hey, which headphones have you got. I'm a bit of an Audio guy myself. I use a pair of Grado SR-125's at work, and a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50's at home.You're paying $30 per month, I'm paying $49 for a HTC OneX with a $280 pair of headphones free, $600 worth of calls and 2.5GB of data per month.
If you were planning to rush out and purchase a w 8 PC this weekend....
Is that a bad thing now, me personally, I love price cuts, the more the merrier. Laptops are already at crazy prices and I certainly don't need one, but if they get any cheaper I won't be able to resist.
LOL at the first sentence

Who is he addressing it to - thin air ?
Microsoft to Offer Price Cuts for Windows 8 PCs | Maximum PC
Are those cuts in addition to the common $100 or in some cases 25% off sales which have been around some time?
Dearie me.
What do you have to do to get people to buy this stuff...gee, I wonder.

Put Windows 7 on it.
The thing that's always attracted me to Microsoft products is price, lets face it I can do the same thing on a computer I build for a quarter of the price of an Apple ComputerLOL at the first sentence

Oooohh don't go out and buy something with Windows 8 on it, we don't want those sales going up. Yeah joe pubic wont be changing OS, so they can either get milked by MS or buy an Apple computer and get really robbed blind by Apple.If they get cheap enough - might get one and put a different os on it - oh wait, that would be counted as a sale for 8 though.
If we hang on a bit, MS will be paying more "platform subsidy" than they get in fees.
Might be worth it for them. As long as Joe public doesn't put a different os on them ( bit difficult for the average Joe) - then MS can milk them in other ways.
Joking apart, best solution is for MS to get out a product offering people want - saves tham having to make these desperate moves.
Yeah problem is Mint runs slower than Windows 8 and what happens if the wireless doesn't work.Just make sure the thing has a BIOS. Then you can wipe the playmobile and put something decent on it. A $400 laptop plus $100 for an SSD plus free Linux Mint makes a great system.

I have never in my whole life seen so many tablets and laptops the choice is huge, it's a great time to be a bargain hunter like me. I even bought my iPads when they came down in price.
Yeah I don't know, things are getting a bit crazy when people start rubbishing price cuts, I wonder if they'd be so flippant if they received a price cut on their electricity bill.Is that a bad thing now, me personally, I love price cuts, the more the merrier.

Ah gee, Bill. That makes too much sense. Bargains?!! Come on now! Inflation isn't high enough. Let's pay full price.....

When Windows users get a bee in their bonnet, it's more like a swarm of bees. They're like the French when they get riled up, hold onto your heads.Yeah I don't know, things are getting a bit crazy when people start rubbishing price cuts, I wonder if they'd be so flippant if they received a price cut on their electricity bill.Ah gee, Bill.

Yeah. Must have money to burn. I heard they light their Cuban cigars with $100 bills.

I have had about 6 in my bonnet today and I still have my head on.
