epistemic 0 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 yeah i actually went to CNET and read the review on the OAKLEY THUMPs or whatever. i mean it looks novel, but then again is it really worth $495.00? i figure those and a motor cycle helmet will help keep my tells at a minimum during live tournament play.

Trono 0 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 No pair of sunglasses should be bought for more than $150. I mean, how much better can $500 glasses be over $100 glasses? Link to post Share on other sites
epistemic 0 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 well actually it's a stationary ad on Daniel's site, but I am "seriously considering" (as i am seriously considering just about everything in the known universe supposedly, at the rate i use this phrase) firefox. i'm sure when i'll get it i'll probably wonder what i was doing with this abomination they call IE for the last 8 years.

allinbluff35 0 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 The only version of those that are even remotely worth spending are the ones that are $495. Those are the ones that have polarized lenses and blah blah blah(I used to work at the sunglass hut). But I don't know anything about how much music you are able to store on them. But hey if you have the $ go for it because usually Oakley has a good warranty on all of their products and at least helps you fix them if their 1 year warranty is outdated.

Smasharoo 0 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Seems like a weird niche market they're aiming at.Anyone who's going to spend $500 on sunglasses with a built in mp3 player allready has an Ipod. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesZS 0 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 What? No one has mentioned that they are the ugliest fucking head-gear I have ever seen? Is anyone seriously considering buying those Thump things? I mean, Oakley's are cool, but these particular Oakley's are .... not. Just not. Ridiculous looking. Link to post Share on other sites
Waffles2003 1 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I use Mozilla FireFox as well, its the best browser out there with pop up blocker, integrated search engine, tab browser,... Link to post Share on other sites
elkang 0 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 These are expensive, but they sound really great. The convenience factor is really worth the price.... if you got the money. I have a few friends you have them and it's great for poker. But, I don't - and don't listen to music at a live game.But, yeah, if you got $500 to spend on an MP3 player, I suggest an iPod (and an iPod shuffle) first.and if you're not using Firefox, you are making poor decisions and should question your ability to play solid poker!

jayboogie 0 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 im picking up an ipod shuffle, I like how it's convenient and small, having no LCD screen is kinda annoying though. Link to post Share on other sites
jooka 0 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 if i remember correctly these were prototypes for lance armstrong for his ride in the tour de france but they ended up releasing them because people wanted them once they saw his. way to spendy if you ask me.

I mean, how much better can $500 glasses be over $100 glasses?Oh. you don't understand, these sunglasses have a $150 MP3 player built in ... $150 sunglasses + $150 MP3 player = $300! WTF? $495?No thanks, I like my sunglasses to be as light and comfotable as possible, and I'll opt for an MP3 player I can put in my pocket or hang off my neck. Link to post Share on other sites

I dont know enough about wireless connections to set up the proxy to allow me to connect through firefox. it makes me sad that i'm stuck with this Useless POS called IEDo you have to use a proxy?My laptop with Firefox (and WinXP OS) automatically searches for available WiFi networks.The thing I find amazing is how many people run open WiFi networks at home. I go over to a friend's house to help him sort out his computer, we need to download some updates and patches, he's still on 56K dialup. I turn on my laptop, pickup an open WiFi network with Comcast, download a bunch of driver updates and some free apps (like Firefox!) on the neighbors network, burn them to a CD, load the CD into his 'puter, and save about six hours of download time at 56K speeds. My friend was impressed enough that he's getting Comcast now. Link to post Share on other sites
