• Today's Woot! is a Dirt Devil Cordless Vac 'n' Mop for $25, shipped. Here's what we don't get: Does it actually vacuum up the cleaning solution that can be sprayed from its cane or does one have to choose between sweeping and mopping? Hard question—and we don't care to spend $25 to answer it.

• Slickdeals details a honkin’ good deal on Western Digital Raptor 150GB 10k RPM hard drives for just $150ish. (It depends on how you pay.) Even without any coupon tricks, the drives are nearly half the price they are anywhere else. These drives may be small in capacity but they’re huge on speed, but like many things PC, if you don’t know why you want one, you probably don’t. For everyone else, buy up.

• Refurbished MacBooks are starting to hit the Apple online store. There’s only one up there now—a black one—but if you’re trying to score a new Mac laptop for under $1k, this would be the place to keep an eye on.
