The 2013 Black Friday thread

So seems like the right thread to ask since almost everybody is here. :p
Dad lost his CDMA mobile somewhere (got the number blocked and all). Recommendations for a new one please with GOSF offers/links (if possible). The only requirement is it should be LOUD (both the earphone and the ringer). Any form of contact syncing will be a boon.
Edit: Looking at budget options. Nothing fancy needed.

I have no direct personal experience with this, but I'd imagine tubes of paste are the stuff of nightmares for airlines. At the very least, don't put it in cabin baggage. Checked baggage might be okay. To be honest though, I'd just buy it locally to save the hassle. I got a tube of Arctic Silver 5 from ITDepot a while back for about 550-600 bucks. That's $10 compared to the $8 you'd pay on Amazon. The savings aren't worth buying it abroad.

Will have to add something unwanted because 124.99 will not make it eligible for free shipping. Right ?

Nope.

@raksrules Yeah , Length is one main reason plus the quality seems much better from the reviews.

I have heard these local cables from ebay disconnect the external hard disk every once in a while . anyone using these? how's the connectivity?
 
Cleanly took out 4TB HDD from Seagate Backup Plus and made it internal for my NAS with help of this video. It can again be put back in case one needs to avail warranty.

 
Yeah. Great. That's the beauty of the backup plus. I'm holding back from purchasing the 4TB. Ordered couple of 3TB Toshiba cause it has better GB/price ratio. But at the price of no international warranty (???) and lack of versatility.

I think warranty is valid in India. Someone checked that and put screenshot on TE when 3TB drives were bought @99.99 from Amazon.
