So the iPhone 3G has been discontinued , and now Wal-Mart has gone and lowered the price of the iPhone 3GS down from $197 to $97 —a full $100 drop.

For the last six years, I’ve watched the show LOST on ABC. It was always one of my favorite shows, mainly because it was so out there content-wise, and partially because the actors in the roles were really top notch.
