@DashTheHand:
If you have a Costco membership, you can get 48 Kirkland brand AAs for ~$12. Kirkland generics are always very good; I believe Candlepowerforums.com found their capacity to be between that of plain old Duracells and Duracell Ultras.

I guess too many people bought the batteries from Amazon! No more left :’(
Lol “free cookie”. Nice and simple. Mmmm, Kashi.
I love my magicjack for international travel. It’s so convenient to be able to call my husband/friends/parents whoever from the hotel when I’m traveling on business for weeks on end and not have it cost $3.99/min.
If you are thinking of buying that Lexmark, consider the cost of replacement ink first and the fact that they have “starter” cartridges.
@AngrySicilian: While true, is this any different than with any other printer purchase?
@Rachacha: I’m not sure if things have changed since I owned my last inkjet, but back then Lexmark was one of the only brands for which you could not find cheap generic ink cartridges. So while you’d be paying $25 a pop for Lexmark cartridges, you could be spending $4 apiece for generics for a Brother.
@mugsywwiii:
That’s because they sue generic cartridge makers out of existence.
@AngrySicilian: Why not just refill them yourself?
@agnamus: Because it’s easier and less messy to buy cheap ink cartridges for a non-Lexmark printer.
Isn’t that the normal price for a magicjack?
The MagicJack is at its standard price here. Nothing out of the ordinary.
It is, however, an awesome deal for those looking to add a line or replace an existing expensive VOIP line. I don’t use it often, but its always there when I need it. At $20/yr with full features, who can complain?
I thought Maxim was a soft-core men’s magazine. Now they’re into kids’ toys? Sweet.
MagicJack? Really? The thing that’s advertised only on late-night TV that has “scam” written all over it? C’mon, Ben…
@BillyShears:
Wow: [gadgets.boingboing.net]
If that’s still true, I’m shocked that they’d list it here.
Actually MagicJack works surprisingly well, believe it or not.
I have a MagicJack too and recommend it. It’s going to get a lot of use over the next several weeks as I travel overseas on business.
I also have a MagicJack. It DOES work, but i would definitely not use it as my main line. The software you install on the PC is really intrusive. Often times the other person can’t hear me and there are other minor bugs. but I keep telling myself “hey, it was only $40″.
