The Razer Deathadder is an superb mouse. I have been using it for just over a year now, and it has substantially increased my frags in Counter-Strike Source. If you want to get the perfect gaming mouse, go with the Razer Deathadder.

for the “Pale, skinny dude with spiky peroxide hair and slight lisp” I read that while hearing the voice of Sid the Sloth from Ice Age inside my head.

That was a nice day dream. Thanks for the visual and the audio.

This is the kind of Justice that pushy sales assistants deserve. I'd love to be able to do this.

I’ve often had the same problems. I have a resident geek who comes with me whenever I show up at Best Buy ( Me – “so is this the right camera for Skype?” Him – “Yeah. Don’t ask them anything – they’ll screw up – they don’t know anything”). Sure enough, Raul asks the tech guy at BB… (I am stubborn after all).

Me.- “Hi, do you know if the Logitech QuickCam will perform the same functions as the Microsoft LiveCam when used for Skype? I don’t want to have any compatibility issues and I’m PC-based. Also, does it have an integrated microphone?”
Tech guy at BB.- “Huh?”
Me.- “Never mind” (I want to strangle the guy).

Next time I’m at BB, I should Twitter you. Have a good week, Lisa!

YES!! You, darlin’, are made of win.

I have no patience for salesweasels who direct all their comments to my spouse even though I’m the one doing the talking.

Bring on MP’s killer rabbit.

Ahhh, this reminds me of the battle I had with a shop assistant some years ago when buying a MiniDisc walkman. I basically just wanted to know if you could use a jack to jack cable to do analogue recordings because my big Hi-Fi didn’t have optical out… anyway:

Me: Excuse me, I was wondering about this MD walkman. Obviously it can record but i was wondering about the methods of recording. Do you have to use the optical cable or can you use a jack to jack line as well?

Clueless looking woman: I’m sorry?

Me: *sigh* In what ways can you record content on to discs using this walkman? Is it ONLY the optical lead or is there another way?

Woman: Oh right… well, I think you just put the walkman near your stereo and press record.

Just goes to show, you don’t need to know a thing about electronics to work in an electronics store.

I always love that line about it’s not my department. I think it must be the most common line at big box stores. They should just have that on little badges on there ugly corporate shirts, instead of name tags.

Sad but True. I don’t often venture into stores anymore… just the thought of being hounded by the sales person is enough to make me break out into a nervous sweat. I just want to see something… hold it even before making the final purchase… not anymore.

Pasquale… completely agree.

“Do these Mac’s come with facebook?”

That is classic. She does not deserve a MacBook Air.
