Those of us that read digg with some regularity see the dupes. The problem is that when someone reports a story as a dupe and it drops off the diggall page, you can't see it in the queue anymore. Digg's search functionality, seems to need work before it can be relied upon to find duplicate stories. Either that or stories should never be removed from the queue.
Further proof that a change needs to be made is all the diggs on this article. Why this one and not the other 15 posted within the last 2 hours? It's because the other dupes have been dropped out of the queue and this is the only one that people can see right now.
Note on the price of cables at Best Buy: Best Buy marks up some items, like cables, an insane amount. I bought a $15 S-VIDEO cable with the employee discount (10% above cost I believe) for $2! That's easily a 700% markup! How do they get away with it? People make uneducated decisions and purchase those items.I think the info in this episode (assuming it is correct) is awesome! Monster cable is ridiculously expensive and only seems to get more over priced as time goes on. Hopefully as people start making their own cables Monster will be forced to lower their prices. (Or Best Buy which marks them up an insane amount)

Timeshifter I believe you have to download Quicktime 7 for Windows, I believe it's just a preview version, it's not really beta.
