Dear friend, I hope the letter carriers get this utmost urgent note to you on time. If so, there’s still a good chance that you’ll be able to acquire a brand new Toshiba Blu-ray player for only $99. Think of your children. They need a Blu-ray player but not at the expense of other things. But this one from Newegg is so inexpensive that I hope you’ll be able to forgo a few speakeasy trips this month to cover it. You must, friend, you must. But hurry! T he deal is only good until 1:00pm PDT .

A little update on Conan O’Brien , seeing as though we spent a couple of days there talking about his every move. The man is taking his show on the road, bringing the funny to a city near you in the coming weeks! It’s the called “ The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour ,” and I’m sure it’ll be wonderful. Conan made the announcement on Twitter a few hours ago, but there’s really not a whole lot of info. Presumably it’ll be the things you know and love from the show, but in a Broadway-like setting. The show begins touring in April, kicking off in Eugene, Oregon, which could be the strangest place to kick off a tour I’ve ever seen. Good for Coco. They’re in New York on June 1 and June 2. Do I go or not go?

NBC clearly doesn’t get it. Don’t invite the Internet to “post photos, ideas, links, and other things” they want to show to Jay Leno after canning Conan. This is what happens.

Do you like PC hardware? Do you like graphs? Well, tell the secretary to hold all your calls, because you’ve just booked yourself an afternoon of CPU feature inspection. Okay, it doesn’t sound that exciting, but if you’re at all interested in processors or PC hardware, you probably owe it to yourself to check out the real-world consequences of multiple cores, hyperthreading, and other things that most people would write off as technical gibberish. Careful, now: iXBT Labs ‘ series has been going on for some time and there is a lot of content. You can pick and choose, of course, if you’re not curious about AMD processors or the current generation of Cores. Part 1: AMD Phenom II, the amount of cores. Part 2: AMD Phenom II, memory subsystem. Part 3: Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading. Part 4: Intel Core i7, pure Hyper-Threading. Part 5: Intel Core i7, number of cores. Part 6: Intel Core i7, clock rates. Part 7: Intel Core i7, memory subsystem. They’ve obviously put a lot of work into it (I admire the work ethic of hardcore component sites) and the series appears to be continuing, so bookmark and check back next time you’re feeling nerdy.
