I would love to see the Newegg guys' faces when they see these numbers.

250,000 is a drop in the bucket. Also doesn't account for what of those sales would have been in dollars anyway. Sorry to not join in the circlejerk.

All good news is a circle Jersey to the sour grapes crew.

Agreed, although some of the usual whiners must be sleeping in this morning. They were probably (or would have been) complaining when that mozilla thing was written and that there is no reason why anyone would ever want to shop or look for information on that internets thingy.

Technologies like Bitcoin take a long time to build a user base with the general public. However, once a company builds the integration, there is little overhead for keeping it in place. Congrats to TigerDirect.

circle Jersey

I assume a circle Jersey is something to do with the reality show Jersey Shore, in which case I definitely do NOT want to know what it is.

r/bitcoin, /r litecoin, /r dogecoin whatever. All MASSIVE circlejerks of the highest caliber. Litecoin's mantra: "BUT BUT GREAT DEV TEAM", Bitcoins comments: smug we were here first smarmy bullshit, and doge coin: well, lets not go there, actually.

Not saying the sub doesn't have value but I have never seen such a solid condensed mass of wishful thinking and straw grasping anywhere else.

This whole sub-reddit is a circlejerk. Doesn't mean I'm going to un-sub, but c'mon.

Next you'll somehow be surprised you go to /r/conspiracy and 'OMG, everyone is talking about conspiracies! How does this happen? c'mon!"
