I just discovered that this tablet only has a 90-day warranty. You'll need to shell out an extra $10 to get a 1-year warranty. That brings the cost up to $60. See my previous post for details.

Thanks - the following is from the US link:

If you purchased your Device from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.jp, or from authorized retailers located in the United States or Japan, your Device is covered by a 90-day limited warranty. If you purchased your Device from any other Amazon website or from authorized retailers located in other countries, your Device is covered by a one-year limited warranty instead of the following warranty. Details are available at www.amazon.com/devicesupport.

Really makes one think they don't have much faith in that cheap tablet.
Clearly these are disposable tablets, but I'm now thinking quality took a big hit to get that price.

Jason Derulo's album, Everything is 4, is currently free on Google Play (in the US at least, maybe not in other countries).

Nexus 6 --> eBay -- Amazon -- Google

• 32GB --> $300 -- $350 -- $500
• 64GB --> -n/a- -- $400 -- $550

For those who missed the recent Amazon sale on this item, Newegg is selling it for the same price.

• $29.99 -- Newegg --> SanDisk 128GB Ultra Fit USB 3.0 Flash Drive

Terms

For a limited time, and while supplies last, Newegg has the SanDisk Ultra Fit 128GB USB 3.0 flash drive for $29.99 shipped. However! You must purchase it using the Newegg mobile app (#eyeroll) and use coupon code MBL150923B at checkout. But that's an amazing amount of space for 30 bucks, and this tiny drive can be left in full-time.

Since this seems to be the thread to post music freebies in I'll pass along that Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd is free right now at Google Play (at least in the US)...

Yep, this is also a catch all thread for things not quite so bookish (music, videos, the occasional quilting offers, etc); plus it'll morph into the Black Friday thread next month

Anyway, thank you, thank you -- Floyd is one of my all-time favorite groups and this is a killer LP!

[Cinisajoy]

Grabbed me some Pink Floyd.

[conan50]

Thanks for the Pink Floyd post!

[Connallmac]

Excellent, thanks for the Floyd link!

Thanks for the post, I like Pink Floyd too.

As an aside, Google really, really is shoving their music radio down my throat. Bought the album, clicked "Listen Now" and it takes me to.... "Wish You Were Here Radio". Uhh, no, that's not what I wanted assholes. Then I have to hunt around to find how to get to my actual albums. Which they've made kind of hard to find. This isn't the first time either, seems to be a new thing with them.
