Watson, A/S/L?

It’s cold. It’s cold everywhere. Even places like Miami are cold, relatively speaking. Why do you want to go out when it’s cold? Or, if you’re in Miami, why do you want to go out when all those New Yorkers are in town? Wouldn’t it be nice to just stay at home for a few weeks?

This Philips Easy Plug and Play Webcam with Microphone 2 Pack is the answer to the question that relates to the problem you didn’t think you had until just this minute: How do I talk to a friend from my living room? And, as we said, the Philips Easy Plug and Play Webcam 2 Pack is the answer. Try to pay attention. You’re only cheating yourself.

When you have the Philips Easy Plug and Play Webcam hooked up to your computer, you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy all the major messenger services, like Skype, Windows Live, Yahoo! and AOL, without worrying that your webcam will suddenly fall over. Don’t laugh, it’s a real problem with webcams today. Thankfully the multifunctional stand makes the Philips Easy Plug and Play Webcam so stable it could quarter horses.

The Philips Easy Plug and Play Webcam also carries a 1.3 Megapixel resolution. Sure, this may actually be less than the camera on your phone, but think about it for a moment. Do you really want to be seen in perfect clarity 100% of the time? Or to put it another way, have you ever seen an actor without makeup? It’s not generally a pretty thing. 1.3 Megapixels is just enough to be seen but not SEEN, if you follow us. Because there’s a reason HD Webcams aren’t really in high demand.

So with one for you and one for a friend, the Philips Easy Plug and Play Webcam 2 Pack will give you a way to be social while you hibernate. And don’t worry, Miami. The holidays won’t last too much longer, and then you can have your city back.
