Just picked this little guy up on my way home and a Mini DP to DVI adapter (Not pictured)

It's a great mouse. I bought the Magic Trackpad as well, but returned it. I found that using the Magic Mouse was much more comfortable.

Panasonic ZS7, can't wait for it to get here!

I've owned the ZS3 for almost a year, and it takes great photos. Enjoy....

You should report back on how good it actually works. I've looked at that a couple of times and wondered if it was more of a gimmick.

I like it. I have made, orange, root beer, "coke" zero, mt dew, lemon-lime... uhh lol

Simple to use, fill the 1L bottle with water, screw it on, 3 shots of co2 (more or less, if you like). Pour in the syrup and gently rock.

Cheaper than regular sodas.

Does it actually taste like "coke"?

Just picked up a Bowers & Wilkens P5. Everything I read online about these headphones say that they are a real delight to use, and the fact that they are closed and small (not to mention stylish) made me go for them. $300 big ones though lol. Good thing I got gift cards to wind it down to $100 ;)..$200 giftcard to amazon to go!

Not my pics obviously!

They're pretty good for their size, but I found the headband to be a little tight when new (perhaps due to my large noggin'). But once you use them a little bit the lamb skin ear-pads are PURE smex. Enjoy!

They look a little delicate for my taste - wouldn't want to pack them in a bag and get on an airplane... I suppose they're designed for home use anyway.

Nice purchase... do you have an amp to drive them?

I hope so. Ever since the Bose OE - I have hated the on-ear style.

They are designed for mobile use, and were pretty sturdy when I tried them at the apple store. I am not sure if they need an amp yet. I would prefer to go ampless if I could, to keep my daily load at a minimum. Can't wait to get them though! I hope they finally fit my want for a small semi full size set that is closed and look good and sound good.

You won't need a amp, as they sound quite good driven by my iPod. IIRC they also included a hard case with the P5's so you can always store them in that.

Good choice on the 360 but I can't say much about Black Ops since I'm not a big fan. Found this combo to be better:

How is it? I lost my card and can't get it until I get a new card in, unless I go buy a points card, which is highly plausible if I don't get my bank card in soon.

Only recon gets scopes which means Vietnam focuses on more close combat rather than sniping from across the map. Everything seems more hectic and crazy because of it. Maps are smaller which adds to the more hectic game play. Just purchased the expansion 5 days ago and haven't played it as much as I would like since I received a few other games and family has been over for the holidays. However the time I have spent with it has been great as it's a little different than the regular game maps and changes things up a bit.

EDIT: Just to add to my other points. Sniping from across the map still happens as some people love recons but from the time I have spent playing it seems a little less than the regular game maps.
