While the Mac Mini might not be cutting edge enough for most people, there is one place in particular that I think everyone could use one of these computers. The family room. This is a perfect companion to the other devices in the rack next to your TV. Do you have videos stored up on your PC upstairs? No problem play them on your TV through the mini. Do you have an MP3 jukebox that you would like to play through your home theater system? No problem, you can navigate on your TV. I totally need to do this.

If you are looking for some cool deals on some inexpensive gift items, this is the sale for you. It is never too early to pick up some stocking stuffers for next year.
My favorite is the coffee mug that plugs into the cigarrette lighter in your car to keep your coffee warm. This is a serious commitment to coffee, people.

The JVC Everio is a glimpse into the future. It is one of the first camcorders I have heard of from a major company that records entirely to a digital medium. This makes it so that transfers to the computer are quicker and easier. This camcorder features an SD card slot and transfers via USB 2.0. The 4 gigs on-board will give you around 60 minutes of recording capacity. This is a refurbished item, but even so, it is still quite a bargain over the other Froogle prices.

JVC GZ-MC100 Everio 4GB Microdrive Digital Camcorder - $549.99
A totally new way to shoot and enjoy digital video, the JVC Everio records up to 60 minutes of MiniDV quality MPEG-2 video or over 5,500 1600 x 1200 UXGA high resolution stills on its high capacity 4GB Microdrive card.

Here is a pretty good price on a 32″ LCD HDTV. Froogle shows that there are some lower prices, but it appears that at least a couple of them are refurbished. So, if you want a brand new one by a brand that has put monitors together for years, then this one is ok.
