Consumer News and Links for Jan. 28th (Mid-Day Edition)

From the Poetic_Justice.MPEG department:

"Our poll shows that gadgets are now the way to a man's heart," said Miranda Su, vice president of sales and marketing at IOGEAR Inc. "With affordable, convenient tech tools now available and in demand, gift giving becomes a lot easier. Males and females alike are hoping to get an mp3 player over a dozen roses or heart-shaped chocolate."

Sorry to all of the poets out there. Looks like you're out of a job! (IT News Online)

From the It's Not An Errand, It's An Adventure! department:

New England retail chain, Ocean Stat, buys discontinued products, closing store's stock and other inexpensive leftovers to sell at steep discounts in their own stores. This results in a stock that continually changes and is always a surprise. They like to call this inconsistency "Adventure Shopping." The next time I go to the thrift store, I'm telling all of my friends that I am going Adventure Shopping. This is gonna be sweet! (Bangor Daily News)

From the They're Heeeeeeere... department:

Archaeologists have discovered 1300 skeletons in a medieval cemetery on what is to become an $834 million shopping center. Man those kids are going to be pissed when they realize that they have to actually run to use their slip-n-slides! (Sunday Times)
