Consumers have until Sunday to get on the next do-not-call list that's supposed to minimize the number of telemarketing phone calls received at home or on a cell phone in Wisconsin.

If you wait until Monday, your number won't be on the list until next April.
Registration for the free list, sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, is required every two years if you want to be included.

To sign up, call toll-free (866) 966-2255 seven days a week, 24 hours a day. You can also go online at this Web site: nocall.Wisconsin.gov.
Currently, 1.4 million phone numbers are on the list, including more than 92,000 cell phone numbers.

Residents can sign up a cell phone from any area code - even one from out of state - but must provide a Wisconsin ZIP code.

Wisconsin's No Call List FAQ

Wisconsin's No Call List became effective January 1, 2003. Signing up identifies you as someone who does not wish to receive telemarketing calls. It's free and available for residential telephone customers in Wisconsin. Your number will remain on the List for two years. Adding your phone number to the List will help reduce (but not eliminate) telemarketing calls. Effective June 6, 2008, Wisconsin residents can add their mobile telephone numbers to the List.

The updated No Call List is given to registered telemarketers quarterly. Therefore, it may take 30 to 120 days for your number to get to telemarketers.

KOHLS

Kohls is offering 40 to 50 percent off its most expensive labels like Vera Wang and Elle, something it didn't do last year.

It’s also offering 300 early bird specials, that’s 20 percent more than last year.
Even high-end stores like Nordstrom are playing the price game. It’s had a policy to beat the price on any like item for years, but the chain has put up signs this year reminding shoppers of that policy.

But buyers should beware not all Black Friday prices are really sales.
A comparison between sale flyers from the past month and Black Friday ads posted online turned up some interesting numbers.

TheKohls Black Friday ad shows a 7-cup Cuisinart food processor for $149.99, that's the same price the food processor was advertised for in a Kohls ad from the week of Nov. 12.
Even more interesting, it was cheaper last year. A look at Kohls Black Friday ad from 2007 shows the same Cuisinart on sale for $99.99.

Best Buys online Black Friday ad features a Sony Blu Ray disc player for $249, that’s $50 cheaper than Best Buy was selling it for in a sale in late October. As usual, Wal-Mart offers some of the deepest Black Friday discounts.

It is offering a 50 inch Samsung plasma HD TV for $798, a Magnavox Blu Ray player for $128 and a Garmin GPS for $97 .

There is a catch though; prices are only good while supplies last.

Xbox 360 Exceeded Original Xbox Install Base

The more things change, the more they actually change. Microsoft's original Xbox never had legs like Sony's fleet-footed PlayStation 2, only managing to sell around 25 million units worldwide -- a bite compared to Sony's 140 million.

What a difference getting your system out first can make. Microsoft said recently that the Xbox 360
would finally muscle past the original Xbox's sell totals by the end of November, but it's happened a week earlier than expected. Also: Two years faster. The first Xbox took five years to hit 25 million, while the Xbox 360
which debuted in November 2005 made it in just three.

Ipod Touch faster Than iPhone 3G

Apple seems to improve the processing speed of the iPod Touchin order to help it go after the portable-game market.

The applications processor inside the second-generation iPod Touchunveiled in September is actually running faster than the processor inside the iPhone 3G, which runs at the same speed that the original iPhone and iPod Touchused. The new iPod Touch's ARM-based processor is running at 532MHz, while the iPhone 3G's processor runs at 412MHz.

A game developer also noticed a huge difference in 3D-rendering speed as a result of the speed bump. As we remember fondly from our "megahertz madness" days of the Intel-AMD competition in the PC, processor speed is not the only measure of performance, but it is an important one.

With the arrival of the App Store, Apple has been marketing the latest iPod Touchas a gaming device in its latest round of commercials, almost completely ignoring the fact that it's a music and video player as well.

It looks like Apple has room to boost the clock speed of the processor to 620MHz, according to ARM's specifications, but that requires striking a balance between performance and battery life.

Hundreds wait at Verizon stores for BlackBerry Storm

A lot of people lined up on Friday to buy the Blackberry Stormat some Verizon Wireless stores, the first touch-screen phone from Research In Motion that is intended to compete with Apple's iPhone.

More than 200 people had waited in mid-town Manhattan at a Verizon store early in the morning, many of whom were turned away after it ran out of the new phones less than an hour after opening at 8 a.m. The angry customers caused a commotion and police came to restore order.

Verizon said hundreds of others were in lines outside its stores up and down the U.S. east coast, but added that it had "plenty of phones" and would keep getting more shipments. It declined to give specifics on inventory levels.

Anthony Lewis, who was at a Verizon store near New York's Bryant Park, at first tried to get the Stormat electronics stores nearby. But he was disappointed, despite putting his name on a list ahead of the Friday debut.

"I had two pre-orders at Best Buy and Circuit City. Now I'm here and I'm hearing it's sold out," said Lewis, 28, of Brooklyn, New York. "I guess 8 a.m. in the morning is too late."

A Verizon employee at the store told customers that if they ordered the phone online or in the store, they would get the gadget in five to seven days.

Vodafone Group Plc, part owner of Verizon Wireless, a venture of Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone, had said on Thursday that it was struggling to meet demand for the Storm, which it launched on November 14.

Vodafone, which is giving away the phone to UK customers who sign a contract, had said it had thousands of pre-orders.
