Price Comparison Charts Overhauled

In the time that I was away, my daily cron jobs which refresh the price information performed flawlessly. During my brief hiatus, new models were introduced and older models were discontinued, so the charts were somewhat out-of-date.
In addition, I was not happy with the way the price charts worked. We gather data from a number of different sources (Amazon, Shopzilla, direct merchants, etc.). Each source was presented separately.
So I took some time to rewrite the interface to mash all the data together and present it in a single table sorted by lowest price to highest.
Of course, the change requires that I do individual maintenance on each and every product. I’ve completed work on all of the Acer Aspire One models. Take a look at this example.
I’ll be updating the rest of the products over the upcoming days.
