  • PC vs. Mac

    I ran across this Microsoft sponsored post on the blog of a friend, of a friend, of a friend… Or something like that. Anyhow, I found it rather humorous and thought I would share.

    I don’t know why Mac users get so defensive when you call them idiots. I mean, Apple is a company that has built its entire user base around the fact that its users can’t do simple things like turn their computers on. Most Mac users can’t even talk without using their hands, which ranks their intelligence somewhere between a simian and hog crap.

    Stupid user base aside, I will never own a Mac. It’s not so much that I’m a PC loyalist. I’m not. It’s that I’m not stylish enough to own one. Most iPod commercials feature guys with long hair, chicks roller skating, and guys wearing fedoras. I feel like in order to have a Mac, I need to be:

    – An artist.

    – In a band.

    – Unemployed

  • Oww… poor you

    Kevin Rose, co-founder of Digg and Pownce broke his iPhone *tear* That’s what you get for owning a $700 cell phone. Maybe he should try and sell it on eBay “Own a piece of internet history, bid on Kevin Rose’s broken iPhone”… oh wait, he’s not that famous.

  • What will they think of next?

    I was checking my usual sites today and stumbled across this great article over on Lifehacker. Sounds like a very cool, and fairly inexpensive way to make yourself an incredible Media Center. Check it out!

    Transform Your Classic Xbox into a Killer Media Center

    If I didn’t just get a Media Center of my own (thanks again Aaron) I’d definitely look into this. Add in the functionality of being able to mod your Xbox and save all those games illegally and you really start to feel a little like a pirate. Add in a peg leg and don’t shower for about a month and you’d be good to go!

  • Been there, done that, now you can get the t-shirt!

    As a new member of the Red Ring of Death club, I found this to be amusing. A company called Split Reason has gone and slapped that bad boy on a t-shirt and paired it with a quote from the computer in 2001. Of course, I’m twisted enough that my first thought was that I should buy one and give it to my wife.

    And you’ve gotta love the explanation they give for the Red Ring of Death: “If you’re not careful, your 360 may jettison you out an air-lock. The red ring of death is just the first sign that something has gone terribly wrong and not only will you not be playing any games, your 360 may rebel and simply kill you.”

  • An Illustrated Guide to Coffee

    caffe mochaI love coffee, but that doesn’t mean I have a clue what goes into most of the drinks I consume.

    Well, now you can find out at a glance just what was in that Caffe Mocha you just ordered, thanks to Lokesh Dhakar’s “Coffee Drinks Illustrated” an illustrated coffee guide. Simplistic, yet brilliant work. Even if you don’t drink much coffee it’s worth a look, pretty interesting stuff.
