WINDOWS "8" ??? Yep it's in the works !

I love Windows 7 and have loved the features developed for Windows 8 so far. My work PC runs our official copy of Windows 7 Enterprise and I have Windows 7 RC as a virtual machine on my MacBook Pro...

When it comes to remakes, I often miss the original while watching the new. I'll agree with the fact that a "Next Gen" would have been very cool, showing updated versions of the vehicles, uniforms, and weapons. Donavan was a great character as wel...

I'm really not enjoying this re-make.I find it boring and it lacks imagination.I am highly disappointed to see a charecter from such a huge show as LOST to be one of the leading roles in this V re-make. This show could of been so much better as a ...

Yes, I agree. Cliffhanger already? However, as far as cliffhangers go, this was a good one, as long as get to see an outcome as well as a method of reaching that outcome. Guess I'll know in a few minutes.

Just watched last weeks episode and about to watch tonights. This show certainly is different than other Stargate shows. The whole time loop thing last week was awesome and yet frustrating that they didn't show a clear outcome. Do they get they ev...

OMG, every episode gets more intense. Many V's have been come before, so still loyal to their leaders, some have rebelled. John May? 5th Column? This is really getting good.

I have CS3 on PC and CS4 on Mac. I'm amateur enough to not really know the deeper level of differences and capabilities. I do like CS4 a lot.

Hi everyone. What a cool group. I'm an amateur when it comes to Photoshop and Illustrator, but love to learn and play with both. My little learning and experimentation have kinda been centered around creating new wallpaper for my computers but hop...

Batman gives me the creeps. He is so dour. Honestly, have you ever seen him smile? A real smile and not a sneer?

Of course you hit on another possibility. He doesn't really have super powers. Perhaps that is the reason I don't like him. That would just make him a gloomy rich guy who wears tights, a mask, and cape without any supernatural stimulus of any sort.

I have to say that my fav superheroes have a sense of humor. Life's not all bad.

Thanks for welcoming me! Yeah I actually work for Apple :) Ohh let me know how the bootcamp thing goes cause a lot of people have been saying that they feel as though Parallels doesn't run into as many problems as bootcamp (in regards to partitioning) but to be honest wouldn't you rather be able to run windows as a completely different operating system as apposed to running an operating system on an already running operating system? bootcamp runs faster... on a side note im writing you this message on a DELL ha

Profile Information

What kind of geek are you?
Sci-Fi lovin, Windows, Linux, & Mac using IT Security Geek. I'm also a huge 80's Geek. From 80's movies to music, I still love the era. Of course, I'm also into current music and movies, but the 1980's are a guilty pleasure and an indulgence.
Why do you consider yourself a geek?
Love Sci-Fi, love computers and all things techy and cool. I also am 35 but still love the cartoons and shows I grew up with.
How did you find out about our Geek community?
Searching YouTube for Mac vs PC videos while trying to decide the platform of my next system.
What are your "geeky equipment" specs?
Brand New (2009) 17" MacBook Pro with...
3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU - (Upgraded)
8 GB of DDR3 RAM - (Upgraded)
500 GB HHD (7200 RPM)
And, a few tweaks and enhancements to keep it fast and smooth.
---------------------
In addition to computers, I love all forms of technology. I love science and knowledge.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Me, grow up? NEVER...!!! I actually aspire each day to be better than I was the day before. Sometimes, I succeed.
What makes you laugh?
My daughter, Good comedy, and my own dumb jokes (I have many).
What is the thing in life you treasure most?
My family, my computers, and my imagination. I treasure knowledge and wisdom.
What's the geekiest thing you've ever done?
Purchased the entire series of the original 1984 Transformers. That may not seem "Geeky", however I was a 29 year old soldier serving with Army Special Forces at the time. I also have taken my Lenovo T61 work laptop with the standard IT Department build of Windows XP and have themed it to look like OS X Lepoard to include the cursors and all. I have also replaced the Windows Orb in Windows 7 (start button) with an apple logo that turns into the original rainbow logo on mouse-over. I'm kinda excited about my new MacBook Pro to arrive.
What do you do to entertain yourself?
Well, I take my non productive time to optimize and tweak my Operating systems and computers for performance. Watch movies, read books, I also practice and teach martial arts. I teach Kenpo, Ninjutsu, and Russian Systema. I love reading, growing and learning. I love everything from science to spirituality.
Favorite music, movies, books, shows, artists, games, people, events, hobbies, etc.?
I love Alternative Modern Rock music. Depeche Mode is a favorite, but not listened to on a regular basis, but more of an indulgence once and a while. I love good Sci-Fi Movies and series like the original and new Battlestar Galactica. I record and watch episodes of Chuck. I teach and practice Martial Arts (when I have time). and I play on my computer a lot. I love all kinds of books from Sci-Fi to spiritual.
