Handy way to skip all the intro crap on DVDs that is usually forced on you when you throw a disc in your player.

Get a Leg Up on Black Friday Competition

bf2005.com lists hundreds of items that are rumored to be on sale on November 25th. The site posts scans of leaked store circulars for the Black Friday sales orgy. Hundreds of items are listed on the site, which allows you to create your own printable shopping list. From the site's FAQ:

With this information, avoid the holiday rush and waking up before 5am to get that certain item. Simply go to the store before Thanksgiving, buy the item, then on Black Friday (November 25th) go into the store and price-match (buy and rebuy) your item back for the new advertised price.

Needless to say, retail stores aren't digging this guy as much as consumers are.
