Christmas Eve Oddities

Searching my favorite websites this cold Christmas Eve early evening, I have come up with some links worth mentioning. [Comcast vs Tivo](http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000470024667/) Well, I’m in China, so I can’t really get into this one as I have only one tv channel somewhat worth watching (some of the time). [Last Minute Gift Ideas](http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000667024109) Should have checked this one… kind of late myself. A quick rundown of the ideas: - **Atari**? No. - **Sandisk Photo Album**? Seriously, who has that many different flash memory types?! Waste of silicon in my opinion. - The **Rio Carbon** is ugly. I’m getting an iPod. - **XM** doesn’t work in China. ahem… - Now, this one is cool!! The **[Roomba Discovery Robot Vacuum](http://www.engadget.com/entry/6325434787719633/)** Too bad I bought the LG vacuum cleaner last year… Unreleated to the last minute gift ideas, this gadget is neat! [speakers for the iPod](http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000513024656/). Tonight, I’d like to sit in front of a wood fireplace, siping some fine red wine, listening to christmas music. Will this happen? Probably Not. ahem
