Avoid long lines on Black Friday with these shopping sites

by Brad Linder Nov 22nd 2007

Looking for a few good bargains on tech toys and consumer electronics this holiday season, but didn't feel like waking up at 4am this morning to fight with fellow shoppers at Best Buy or Circuit City? It turns out you can get some pretty good bargains year round, if you know where to check.

FreshBargains is the bargain aggregator for bargain aggregators. You can use this one site to find deals form popular sites like SlickDeals, FatWallet, TechBargains, DealCatcher, XPBargains, and several other sites. There's also a facebook widget and you can subscribe to RSS feeds or email alerts.

Or if you're looking for information, and not just bargains, check out Retrovo. You can use Retrovo just to find the lowest prices on particular products. But if you want to find the digital camera that has the most bang for the buck, Retrevo has a new "value map" feature that lets you know which items have the best specs for the price. You can search all kinds of categories for electronics like PDAs, digital cameras, TVs and cellphones. And if you want the info you can't find on the back of the box, Retrevo will also show you complete product manuals.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
