States Warned About Mortgage Crisis In 2003

LowCommotion FTW! (Money, WTF?!)
Loading...

More than five years ago, in April 2003, the attorneys general of two small states traveled to Washington with a stern warning for the nation's top bank regulator. Sitting in the spacious Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, with its panoramic view of the capital, the AGs from North Carolina and Iowa said lenders were pushing increasingly risky mortgages.

35 years of Top 100 music on 45 RPM vinyl

Zombie16 FTW! (Music)
Loading...

Each and every 45 RPM vinyl record that was listed on the Billboard Top 100® Rock and Pop charts from Jan. 1, 1955, through Dec. 31, 1990. Absolutely every disc for 35 years, every No. 100 up to every No. 1. There are some 18,400 records total. Some are even autographed. How about the Beatles’ 1964 hit “Ain’t She Sweet” with picture sleeve, worth a cool $500; or the Beach Boys’ 1961 hit “Surfin’ Luau” worth $200. There are literally hundreds of extremely collectible 45s — Elvis, Joplin, Hendrix, you name it — and the collection in its entirety is priceless.

For only $275,000, and they said priceless, something from Neiman Marcus that can make even DJ Shadow happy, well that is if these are the original press 45’s and not a repress. =)

The Laser-Powered HDTV

Zombie16 FTW! (Tech, TV)

LASER BEAMS! I wonder which one would win in a steel cage deathmatch, OLED or Lasers? The Mitsubishi LaserVue-65 is $7k for a 65in TV, which isn’t so bad considering it’s suppose to be the cream of the crop. In prespective the 65in Panasonica Viera is $6k, the 70in Sony Bravia is 20k with the 55in being $7k and the 60in Pioneer Kuro being $6.5k so really is $7k all the bad for a 65in laser HDTV, no. Also why do they make it out to be huge, it’s 65in, we aren’t talking 100in here and I’m wondering at what point does it make more sense to buy a projector than spend money on a TV. And while the author points out this is the best color gamut he doesn’t mention if that is to LCD/Plasma or does that include CRT’s as well? As long as this has zero ghosting, no input lag, 120hz compatible along with deep color and the ability to jazz up standard definition material like ffdhsow than I will be sold.
