They can just go into a store, ask what's better, have someone like me sell them the most expensive thing, and they skip away with a blank smile on their face "knowing" they have the best thing out there, but not knowing why, how, or if it really is. For example, just last night while I was at work, I sold a guy the newer LG55LHX LED LCD TV at $3499.99. Since it was the first thing he saw, he thought it was the best thing ever. Wouldn't listen to me because he "heard LED is the best!(sometimes) and LG is a good brand right?(sorta) Why shouldn't it be the best?(because it's not)" where he could have had the Samsung 55" 8000 for a cool $500 cheaper and had a better display. The best would have been the XBR10 or Samsung 8500, but he never saw them, didn't know they exist, so he remains the uneducated "average customer".

Granted the LG is backlit as opposed to edge-lit, but polishing a piece of shit doesn't mean it isn't still shit. And LG knows it.

It's a cycle of ignorance that just repeats every day. It's a breath of fresh air when someone actually knows about what they're buying, and that should not be. Sadly, I get one maybe every few days. The rest, the first question I ever hear is "what's better/what's the difference between LCD and Plasma?" if they ever get that far. mostly it's "I don't want plasma, LCD is better because someone told me so"]]>Nov 12th 2009 3:14PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/21/10-black-friday-deals-to-watch-for/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/21/10-black-friday-deals-to-watch-for/
The contemporary distinctions are helpful, because they are also fundamental to the architecture of computers in general. The distinctions also reflect an important and significant technical difference between memory and mass storage devices, which has been blurred by the historical usage of the term storage.]]>Nov 10th 2009 5:11PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/21/10-black-friday-deals-to-watch-for/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/21/10-black-friday-deals-to-watch-for/
Get a life guys. I have been round computers since before you were a gleam in you daddy's eyes and memory is a term for any and all storage availble for a computer, hard drive, floppy, PCMCIA, USB, CDROM (see that M), flash, RAM and even core memory.]]>Nov 12th 2009 7:01PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/21/10-black-friday-deals-to-watch-for/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/21/10-black-friday-deals-to-watch-for/Nov 12th 2009 10:38AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/21/10-black-friday-deals-to-watch-for/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/21/10-black-friday-deals-to-watch-for/Nov 12th 2009 10:45AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/21/10-black-friday-deals-to-watch-for/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/21/10-black-friday-deals-to-watch-for/Nov 12th 2009 5:29PM
