I recently ran across
tuxmobil.org and didn't see it on the list. It seems to be a fairly extensive resource for Linux compatibility on mobile devices.
TuxMobil is dedicated to Linux and Mobile Computers. It leads you to a lot of useful hands-on information, HOWTOs, and FAQs about installing and running Linux, BSD, Solaris and other unixlike operating systems on laptops, notebooks, handhelds, PDAs, mobile cellular phones, portable music and video players, GPS navigation devices, wearables and other portable computer gadgets.

Price comparison
Invisible Hand (Firefox only)
I don't know if this applies as it's an addon for firefox. But, it checks other sites for the same exact product and instantly tells you if it finds a better deal. It's a small bar at the top (very subtle, only shows when viewing 1 product) that just says Best deal out of X sites or found a better deal on *this* site. Defiantly worth a try.

You should add United Nuclear (
http://www.unitednuclear.com/) to your list under misc. Its is a pretty cool website with lots of random science stuff (including various chemicals, radioactive rocks, and lots of other products that aren't techincally toys but are still awesome).

Does more than the opensauce Audacity.
SUPER Audio/Video conversions.
SUPER = Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer.
A GUI to FFmpeg, MEncoder, MPlayer, x264, musepack,
monkey's audio, true audio, wavpack, ffmpeg2theora
and the theora/vorbis RealProducer plugIn.
If you need a simple, yet very efficient tool to convert (encode) or play ANY Multimedia file,
without reading manuals or spending long hours training, then SUPER is all you need.
It is a Multimedia Encoder and a Multimedia Player, easy-to-use with 1 simple click.
http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html (see the exhaustive format extension list.)
http://www.erightsoft.com/S6Kg1.html
http://www.erightsoft.info/GetFile.php?SUPERsetup.exe (direct link to download file)
(Whatever you do avoid the AVS Video Convertor ads and the download now ad bar.)

Do any of you guys use ninite for builds or upgrades? I have been using it for a while and it saves a ton of time with both builds and doing upgrades. There's a free version along with several pay packages. I've considered getting a family pack for the few offenders I know who refuse to update anything.
