Here’s a list of some interesting things around the web that I don’t have the time (or the cleverness) to write about more clearly:
Shuttles $199 Linux PC specifications, this thing actually looks cool, not that it would get me to use Linux.
50 Great Arcade cabinets. I really miss arcades.
Vast Cloud of Antimatter traced to Binary [...]
Bill Gates Admits Vista Sucks
Thursday, January 10th, 2008In a candid interview with Gizmodo, Bill Gates pretty much owns up to the fact that Vista was rushed and unfinished. I guess now that his time is up at Microsoft, he’s more open about the company’s shortcomings.
WB Goes Blu-ray Exclusive: What Does It Really Mean?
Saturday, January 5th, 2008When WB announced yesterday that they have officially drank the Blu-ray Kool-Aid and dumped HD-DVD support, it was a shock to the 3% of the market that has bought into the format war.

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

Loads of Leopard Love
Saturday, October 27th, 2007Sadly, as a small time blogger who makes $0 annually on said blog and (now) podcast, I can’t afford to rush out and buy Leopard day one (no matter how much I may want to).
