    *sigh* I haven't wasted my money on anything fun in a while.

    However I am due for a phone upgrade and my Black Berry has been acting up on me. I might upgrade to an iPhone -- I really want to but I told myself I wouldn't yet.
    Look at the new Galaxy S3, the Galaxy Note or the Skyrocket before you look at the iPhone. Just look first and then make your decision.

    I have an iPhone and will never buy another...ever. Now I love their iMac and I'm ok with the iPad, but I wish the iPad would have come with a USB port.

    Anyway, I've had every iPhone model available and I'm through drinking the Apple koolaid with their phones.

    The Galaxy Note has some awesome features, but seriously, a phone with a 5" display? I'm really hoping for Sammy to put that out as a tablet or music player w/o the phone. My RAZR is about as big as I'd think is practical for a phone. I see people with Notes and the older Dell Streak up to their ears, and it looks silly.

    Sammy makes awesome displays, but the phones themselves look and feel cheap due to plastic bodies. I upgraded from the Nexus S to the RAZR in November because Moto makes a more solid feeling phone. So does HTC, but they seem to put too little RAM and internal storage in their phones.

    Maybe not in that order!

    You pay MONEY for porn? Like there isn't plenty of FREE porn! "The internet is for porn!"

    I'm typically a fairly frugal person.

    But sometimes I say screw it, and go spend money on some pretty neat (if useless) things. Recently I bought an expensive pair of sunglasses and some watches. In the past it's been things like one of those ecospheres. Right now, I'm totally thinking of buying this : http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/lights/e7f1/?icpg=Banner_MeltingClock_20120617


    So, what's your guilty pleasure for just throwing away your money?

    Pretty much anything with a processor. I own more tablets (6- 1 iPad, 5 Android), laptops (4 Macs/ 4 IBM compatibles running various flavors of Linux and a Win7 box), phones (7, with two in use at any one time receiving calls from 4 phone numbers), desktop computers (2, though I barely use anymore--no reason as laptops are plenty powerful these days), music players (14!--8 are iPods), game systems (2), streaming devices (2--Apple TV and Roku) and other sundry gadgets than most entire families will own in a lifetime. I've retired countless computers, phones and handheld computers.

    I'm classic computer geek.

    You are my hero. ;) Geeks unite!

    healthy vegetarian organic easy-prep food (you know, the kind you nuke rather than prepare and cook), and workout clothes/shoes/accessories.

    ETA: high-end organic, not-animal-tested, yummy-smelling toiletries.

    Food. It's the only thing I buy so I spend more on it than I should. I need to win the lottery.

    I really don't like spending money, and I am a saver/penny pincher normally. But, now that I have gotten into cycling, I always like to pop by the store and the bike section to find new things/gadgets to put on my bike or replace on an older bike that I have and trying to make ridable again. Besides that, I splurge on workout clothes. Always go to clearance section, but won't stop me from buying as much as I can!!
