Have you been needing some new  cheap ear buds? I know that the ones I have with my iPhone (that are really expensive, BTW) break constantly and it can be pretty cumbersome and irritating to constantly purchase a pricey replacement. What essentially happens with the headphones is one of them just gives up with about a few weeks of use - so for a little while I will deal with it "as is" and then just buy a new set. Today I found this great little Meritline deal, however, that I think will help everyone out!

So every once in a (great) while when I am cleaning - I will find change throughout my apartment - under the couch, behind the dresser, in my pant and coat pockets - everywhere! I never really question where all of this change comes from and just throw it in a jar, until it looks like I have a lot of it, and then take it to the Coinstar machine to be counted.

You can get enough miles for a domestic award travel ticket reward by spending $500 at Skymall.com - today only (September 1, 2010)! Chances are you would likely spend that much on the airfare anyway - but at least this way you can get some other gadgets and gifts (Christmas is around the corner) for free! This is one of those great deals that I find too hard to pass up.

Let's just say you were in the market to buy Skymiles - it would of cost you $700 to buy the miles directly from Delta.com (25,000 x $0.028 = $700).  So why not get something more in return - like a little camera, or some flight gear.  The selection and price of the items leaves a lot to be disired but you can surely find a few things you can use (or gift) to make the most of this offer.

Minority Report: Re-Targeting Advertising's PrecursorJust because I liked the film "Minority Report" does not mean that I like the idea of advertising targeted specifically at me- it tends to make me paranoid and does little to endear me to the product. Sites like Facebook and Gmail have long used targeted advertising, but now advertisers are able to use a special technology which enables them to follow customers from site to site online.

Re-targeting, as those in the advertising industry refer to the intrusive Internet advertising technique, uses cookies to track your on-line movements. If you visit a site selling a particular toy, for example, you may find the toy advertised on several other sites that you also visit.
