Enter the Secret Amazon Web Pages: http://tinyurl.com/38sojf This is where you’re going to find the "latest sales, rebates, and limited-time offers" from Amazon, and you can score some pretty deep discounts if you’re a savvy shopper. Next, there’s the special Sale link. This is open every Friday, and ONLY on Fridays. You can find the same good discounts here as you would in hidden Deals, although some Fridays you can really get lucky and make off like an Amazon bandit - I’ve seen discounts there as low as 75% off sticker price.

I had my phone, so why not try it, especially since it's free? Worked well for me, very clear and understood what I was saying. I think it has a lot of potential, and I think advertising to those who are bored in the cars, heading home where they'll need to find entertainment and food for the evening is pretty brilliant. Remind them when they'll need it. Seen a number of these in the Bay Area, and for once I was actually convinced by a billboard. I had my phone, so why not try it, especially since it’s free?

It's not a matter of being picky. It's a basic prerequisite of being in the writing business. If Techcrunch is going to defend blogs/web vs. traditional journalism, it needs to at least feign an interest in basic grammar and copy editing. Continuing to confuse "its" and "it's" in post after post is amateurish. I'll happily mail 5 copies of Strunk & White to TC HQ if you promise to read them. I agree with BJohnson.
