  3. Thank you for a great post

  4. Watching adult TV from the internet on your PC removes the headache of finding some private time to watch x rated movies. It is the best treat that you can ask for when it comes to offering sex TV channels in a private home office. Most people will no longer have to tip toe to the basement computer in the dad of the night to join those adult porn sites anymore.

  12. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
