Frys Honoring Canceled Black Friday LG LCD, Logitech Remote Orders and Others

frys.com offers Frys Honoring Canceled Black Friday LG LCD, Logitech Remote Orders and Others


1-877-688-7678

First check your Frys order online to see if anything was canceled.

Found on another deal site:
1.) Call and give them your old LG TV(Or other canceled item) order number, they will verify name, address and then take new credit card info, try and sell you stuff you don't want, then give you a new order number.
2.) If you bout a remote, when the rep is done, tell them you have another cancelled order that needs to be reinstated, then give them the order for the remote. When i did this, he sad hang on, this hasn't come up yet today.. Then he shuffled some papers.. At which point i said, the remote had the exact same problem, the TV did and he said, "yes, i see that". He then repeated the process of getting my credit card info and gave you a new order number for the remote. Now here is the best part. The rep told me "you will get an email confirming both new order numbers AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU A NEW REBATE FORM FOR THE REMOTE." I had not even mentioned the remote, so this was a huge welcome surprise. I asked him to repeat what he said, and he did. He then went on to say, "you got an amazing price". He went on to say the remote will take 12 weeks!!! but at the rebated price, I said with a song in my voice, "no problem"
3.) PLEASE BE NICE TO THE CSR's. Remind yourself they had nothing to do with the debacle, and are just regular folks like us, doing a job. I thanked him for his help and said that I was sure it had been a rough day..and he said, "yes, i've had better, but at least we are taling care of our customers."
4.) I did not have any further cancellations, but if you did, repeat with the appropriate order number and good luck. I do not see how they can deliver on the TV and remote and not other items cancelled for similar reasons. If they don't deliver, we fight on .. But remember time is of the essence. This whole episode is perishable.. In a few weeks, it will be hard to get anyones attention.

Good luck, and for those of you who signed the groubal and posted on the Jon Stewart site, I thank you for your support. For me at least, it quickly became a matter or principle vs. A couple of good deals.

Has NASA discovered extraterrestrial life?

Has NASA discovered extraterrestrial life?

Here's a curious press release from NASA:

NASA will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 2, to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe.

I did a little research on the news conference participants and found:

1. Pamela Conrad (a geobiologist) was the primary author of a 2009 paper on geology and life on Mars

2. Felisa Wolfe-Simon (an oceanographer) has written extensively on photosynthesis using arsenic recently (she worked on the team mentioned in this article)

3. Steven Benner (a biologist) is on the "Titan Team" at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory; they're looking at Titan (Saturn's largest moon) as an early-Earth-like chemical environment. This is likely related to the Cassini mission.

4. James Elser (an ecologist) is involved with a NASA-funded astrobiology program called Follow the Elements, which emphasizes looking at the chemistry of environments where life evolves (and not just looking at water or carbon or oxygen).

So, if I had to guess at what NASA is going to reveal on Thursday, I'd say that they've discovered arsenic on Titan and maybe even detected chemical evidence of bacteria utilizing it for photosynthesis (by following the elements). Or something like that.

The best non-deal of the year!

I thought this was fake at first, but it is for real! Check out the hilarious comments as well.

Light Skin Therapy

I'm starting to plan out which gifts to get this Black Friday and I was trying to find out something for my mother. I know she really wants a new skin care product since she loves taking care of her skin. Anyways, I was researching and I came upon this idea of light acne and skin light therapy. The idea behind this treatment is based on specific light waves, blue or red, that concentrate on killing bacteria and encouraging skin cells to regenerate. It used to only be available at spa's or professional skin care facilities, but now you can purchase them for home personal use!

Here's a great article on acne light treatment. I also found this site called, Light Acne, that has even more information as well as pretty good reviews on some products out there.

Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

Theres a new movie out from the director of Iron Man, John Favreau, called "Cowboys & Aliens". It stars Daniel Craig (James Bond), Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde (House), and Sam Rockwell.

I'm curious how they are going to approach this movie and whether or not its going to be a serious type of movie or one for the whole family. The release date indicates its blockbuster status. I guess we can start judging once they release the trailer in a couple of days.
