The YP-K5 from Samsung is another MP3 player from its Yepp line. It's the size of a cellphone, but the main feature is that it flips open to reveal its stereo speakers which has decent sound quality. It's also an alarm clock, with snooze function.HDMI Cable
A listener Will from www.namebrandhandle.net found an HDMI cable for $12 on www.allelectronics.com. Another listener had directed Dick to Woot which was selling an upscaling DVD player for $45 which comes with an HDMI cable.
Woot
Leo explains the idea of Woot, like restaurants with one table. Leo's wife is going to take Leo on his upcoming birthday to a 3 Michelin stars restaurant, with like 4 tables, called the French Laundry.

Don't worry, Leo's still alive. One of the TWiT servers died last week which gave Leo hell. Leo is going on a cruise next week. He will upload all 5 episodes before he goes, and asks listeners not to gorge themselves on all 5 in a row, or they will become gizwizless very soon.
