Transfer Movies to iPhone and Watch on your Television

The iTunes store has more and more television shows and movies. It's very easy to download your selection and then transfer it to your iPhone. To watch it on your television, you'll need a special chord. However, the Apple Composite AV Cable, for $49, is a piece of garbage. I have it, and it's ruined the input connections on two of my televisions. The design looks good, but the chords are almost impossible to grasp to remove them, and when you try to, you damage your television.  Do not buy this:

That's why I think the Dexim DRA022 looks like a good option. It's a dock for you iPhone or iPod and includes all the chords you need to connect to your television. It's also got a remote. At $79.90, I think I'd be more inclined to buy an Apple TV, but if that's not in the cards then I'd go with this.

DEWALT D55140 Heavy-Duty 1-Gallon 135 PSI Max Trim Compressor: $129.99 Shipped

I have one of these and this is an AWESOME deal. It's normally $292.02, so this price is 55% off. No tax in most states and free shipping, which is amazing because this thing is heavy. (I can't figure out how Amazon makes any money on this deal). This thing is portable and can power all of your power tools, including nail guns to put up crown molding. You can also keep it in the garage and fill your tires regularly.

Bosch 15618 18-Volt 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill/Driver Kit: $149 (71% Off)

Amazon has a great deal on the Bosch 15618 18-Volt 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill/Driver Kit that normally sells for $510. If you are not familiar with cordless tools, 18-Volt power tools are much more powerful than most. Rather than stripping screws, this will drive them into wood. I would buy one of these if I needed one.
