Cyber Monday Is HERE!!

Shares of Internet retailers dipped along with the overall market on "Black Friday" as the dollar weakened and investors remained concerned about consumer spending.

Black Friday, or the day after Thanksgiving, is usually the second-busiest day for shopping in person. The following Monday, known as "Cyber Monday," is generally a busy day for Internet retailers.


ComScore Networks, which tracks Internet spending, expects online sales of almost $600 million on Monday, which would be higher than any single day during the 2005 holiday season. Online retailers raked in $484 million on Cyber Monday last year.


ComScore estimated sales for the first 19 days of November rose 23 percent this year. This suggests online holiday spending is "strong coming out of the gate," ComScore Networks Chairman Gian Fulgoni said.


However, a MasterCard Worldwide study released Monday showed "Cyber Monday" is something of a myth -- and doesn't rank in the top five days for Internet shopping. Based on information from billions of credit card transactions over the past several years, MasterCard said online shopping actually peaks a week after Cyber Monday. In 2005, Cyber Monday was the ninth-busiest online shopping day of the year.


In midday trading Friday, Amazon.com Inc. and Ebay Inc. each fell about 1 percent, while RedEnvelope Inc., a San Francisco-based Internet retailer of upscale gifts, fell about 3 percent. However, the downward movement wasn't specific to Internet retailers -- the broader market was off slightly in Friday's shortened trading session as the dollar declined and traders bet on lower interest rates.

Lawliet123088|wow you guess lookedп»ї like you had so much fun! XD I loved this song and now you made it a 100 times better! I m glad you won! ^_^ Wonderful video!

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.

Hmmm. I would have thought that pepsi would allow it to be on the worst of 2009 too.

Wonderful to determine the Melbourne identity in the Best of??? contemplating the shit-storm of controversy it brought about in Australian style circles!

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.
