I like the new shirt... Peanuts Power to the Max.

"woot" was just added to the dictionary, the site was probably like, "our work here is done."

Woot is busted. sigh

DAMIT I GOT RICKROLLED.

allright who unplugged the woot!

Ok this is not funny anymore.... where is my WOOT

WOOT SHALL NOT PASS!!!

I'm with this ^ guy

Did anyone check Woot Happy Hour?

Yep, still the sad, lonely usb lights from so long ago. It's like hanging around after a concert to see them clean up the mess.

So depressing

Hmmm, looks like that streetlamp crashed too...

I live in Dallas. Think I should go check on these guys? Someone may be hurt.

Damn woot I thought you were reliable at least for a 1am est woot. What the OMGOMGOMGPONIESOMG PONIES!!?

Ahh nevermind, it's up

I'm getting legitimate concerns, can the staff chime in with anything here? I just cleared all my account info, just in case, but would really feel better if someone offered us some sort of explaination

To all the folks commenting on and linking to the "new" woot: it don't mean squat if we can't order it!

....1080p is $386 on Amazon (about $475 everywhere else), 720 is $299 ($350 about everywhere else).

Just guessing since there's no product number listed.

Like the old days when WooT would go down weekly

Woot probably got hacked by your neighbor who isplannng on assuming your identity I'm sure you were too late in clearing your info.

This was cute at first, but now it's just getting ridiculous. :/

I should clear my stuff also but I feel it would be to late if they did get hacked

It's a protective mechanism to prevent remorse. SOmetimes, this is done via ignoring negative aspects. That seems to be the mechanism here. Mac buyers clearly spend more than Windows buyers when you compare spec for spec, i.e. you won't be able to find a $379 Macbook with the specs of this HP that wasn't used.

When I did tech support in our lab, I definitely noticed that people who bought Macs were much less willing to discard their outdated equipment than Windows users. The reason was simple. The Mac users often spent twice as much on their equipment and it's much more painful to throw away a $1000 computer than a $500 computer. So many Mac users convinced themselves that their Macs were powerful enough when they clearly didn't conform to the specs our studies required.

As an aside, I think a study also showed that the more expensive a Broadway show was, the more standing ovations it got, regardless of how much critics liked it. WHile I agree that critics are not always right, this seems like another example of consumers needing to feel good about their purchases.

Here's a little clue for you - Mac users don't buy a mac for the computer, they buy it for the OS. Mac users really hate having to use Windows and even MS Mac apps like Word and Excel have the Windows stink all over them.

I need junk now!

I'll bring my USB rocket launcher!

maybe last night's item was the first sellout in over two years and they haven't made it back from the bar?

Woot is finally out of crap to sell.

They must be using those refurb HP towers as servers.

YAY!
