My HP hard drive died last Tuesday confirming that my laptop can fall from a couch and bed and small table multiple times while running but can't survive a bus ride while powered off inside of its bag which was inside of another bag!
HP = FAIL

OK so after 1 day with the new Windows 7 Release Client all I have to say is, why didn't MS do it this way to begin with???
I'm noticing a 200 % speed boost over Vista Home Premium, my boot times are faster, my apps launch faster, hell even browsing is faster (with Firefox installed of course).
My notebook originally came with Vista 32 bit and now I am running Win7 x64.
So far after kind of a shaky installation (my pc hung a few times @ POST), my only gripe isn't with Win7, its that nVidia has y… Continue

Hello Friends,
Please accept my apologies, I know I have been MIA for a little while, I guess myself finally caught up with me.
Translation >> I been feeling really depressed lately and super unmotivated to do anything, be it go out with friends, be sociable or even look for a job that I desperately need. My pride has a lot to do with it too.
Those of you that know me, know of my current situations, Those that don't:
Well, in a nutshell >
I'm currently homeless, living in my 1996 Ford… Continue

Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht of Diggnation fame were on Late Night With Jimmy Falon last night
Just in case you missed it or didn't know, the video from that episode which aired last night (Apr 8 2009)
on NBC after Jay Leno (11:35 your local time)
I think Apple had something to do with this because you see not one but four MacBook Pros on the set.
EDIT: The red computer is a Dell, so 3 MacBooks.
Anyway, Enjoy the video and please if you have comments or opinions, I love to… Continue
And the latest contender From Microsoft....
Laptop Hunters 3
They think the kid is gonna win people over???
At least this time it was a different manufacturer other than HP
Don't get me wrong folks I LOVE MS......
I just really really really think they need to take their marketing to a new level or in a completely different direction.
Chris Pirillo made some excellent points regarding the last Laptop Hunters and and you can… Continue
In a bizarre move nobody expected, Microsoft has given the Green Light to HP (The top seller of Windows PCs) to STILL allow Windows XP sales until April 2010 when this summer, June 2008, should have been the cutoff for ALL Windows XP sales ANYWHERE. Microsoft will no longer provide feature upgrades after April 14, 2009 (Yeah, next Tuesday) That also means no more free tech support from Microsoft.... Wait, they had that??? Although you will be able to get web support and critical updates until 20… Continue
Ok Microsoft ....
What the hell ???
Stuff White People Like ??? Are we trying to be racist??? I don't get Microsoft's latest Windows ad.
If you don't know, another Windows add dropped online today and here it is if you hadn't seen it.
I'm a white guy and even this left me scratching my head and saying 'What was the purpose of this ad?'
I kinda understand the "Laptop Hunters" series, but this ad completely makes no sense at all and maybe its just my perception of it, I d… Continue
Recently due to the failing economy and also due to extreme hard times on my personal end as well, I have no home nor permanent residence..., the only thing I really have left is my van. I sleep read, sleep, do homework and spend all my time when I am not attending school or attempting employment in the van, also my only form of communication, my cell phone has been terminated. I do make money doing odd jobs every now and then but not enough money to support myself with.
What I ask of you today… Continue

Hello all
I have a new device and have had it for about two weeks now.
I have a red and black Samsung SHC-R450 cell phone, also known as the Samsung Messenger for those on MetroPCS.
Like with my previous phone, it is a candy bar slider phone with a full QWERTY underneath.
Lets begin with the good qualities ~
~ Sturdy plastic construction, i know this because i have dropped it several times already and its still shiny.
~ As mentioned it has the slide out QWERTY which is excellent for texting.… Continue
The new Apple iPod Shuffle is but a week into its debut and already a handful of 3rd party accessories makers have designed headphones for use with the Shuffle's new inline headphone control unit.
And to think someone, somewhere got their hands on the blueprints to be able to know what the specs of the unit are before releasing to consumers.

For all its worth, I think DETHKLOK is the best metal band I have ever heard, considering that they aren't an "actual" band say like Korn or Metallica or what have you...
Dethklok is the band for the Adult Swim television show METALOCALYPSE and there is an actual album in stores that you can buy of the songs mainly heard at the end of each episode.
Metal isn't at the top of my list, ranking 2nd behind a 1st place tie between techno and rock.
I cant stop listening to Dethklok.... I feel if I we… Continue

~ Good call quality
~ No dropped calls
~ Stable network which really isn't a feature of the phone per say but a good quality anyway.
~ Media player
~ 1.3 Megapixel camera
~ SD memory card slot
~ When sliding open from home screen, automatically jumps to messaging menu
~ Video capability
~ Facebook application
~ Rubberized outer casing… Continue
