I will have a rant post sometime later but after we had the 18 hour power outage a few weeks ago, we began losing internet connectivity after a certain amount of time. I assumed it was the modem. It may be more of a torrent problem, but it strange that it happened after the modem went back to factory defaults. Also see this.

Those happy Linux users will give you excellent advice like “just grem your snok and VSS to the fnerk with your plotnik.”

This sums up my opinion of modern computing pretty accurately. I guess the best bet is to choose the OS you are most comfortably fixing the problems with.

Ummm, mega expensive pooter bling.

Look, it's Paris Hilton's laptop; well if she knew how to use a computer.

Heh. We are trying out Sharepoint at work... really, we are going to use but a number of us are playing with it until it becomes live, to find bugs and annoyances and build responses for them. Recently it started just crashing randomly on me and then moved all the way up to "click anything and it crashes IE". Not good. While I was doing the Googling of the problem (a few hours every now and then) I started doing screen captures so our MIS guy could have them handy when contacting M$ tech support. We could now have our own Crash Board. P.S. It turned out to be a compatibility problem when you have two versions of MS Office installed... I had one app from Office 2007 and the rest from Office 2003 Premium.

We use Lenovo computers exclusively at work so it was only a matter of time before someone asked for one of these Thinkpad Reserve Edition laptops. All dressed in leather and slimline as hell, they really seem to be nothing more than the X61 in a fancy suit.

Bwah hah hah hah hah !! It's a A global warning about jealous computers. I love the dorm room vid with the LT attacking her leg, especially the GRAHHHH sound it makes as it jumps.

I love future thinking product demonstrations such as Microsoft Surface. I don't see them very often but it reminded me of a point I was working Ottawa and I saw a video from HP or Dell or some other big name, truly a demo on a videotape, that spoke of the future of consumer computing that gave me the same tingly, "Welcome to the future, show me my jetpack," kind of feeling. I wonder if that video is on the web?

It's paper, it's pooter, it's perfect. It's a Geekster Moleskine.

You know, I have seen a lot of impressive case mods. You know, where someone takes something that is not neccessarily a good thing to put computer equipment inside of and makes it work. Well I must say this is my first dead thing case mod.

Holey Moley, I guess I missed this Vista on the Rocks !! Did anyone go to the ice house? Did Vista crash?

This guy has quite the Apple collection in his basement. It begs the questions of, "How?!?!" A similar PC one would not be so pretty and muuuuuch more chaotic.

Envy! Yes, I am jealous that Accordion Guy got quite the schwag deal from M$. He got a free decent-end laptop preinstalled with Windows Vista. But he works hard for his focus in the blogging world and deserves a little positive feedback.

While I will never own one of the beautiful beasties, today I got to touch a Apple MacBook Pro in order to place it into inventory. Droolable. Totally.

What do you do with a dead computer? What do you do with dead computer, early in the morning?? I just put them out to the curb and they are usually gone before morning.

We saw the new touch interface table/monitor a few months ago with some theoretical software being used but now we can see Warcraft III and Google Earth on it.

Ummmmm, MacBook Pro. Grrrrrowl.

So I think I know a few people who would like to have a Nintendo controller mouse. (via designologue)

It was only a matter of time before someone bluescreened the new Intel Mac.

Hrrrrrm, if I bought this 300GB Hard Drive and something like this software, I could concievably just maker a bigger drive with current install of XP, right?

The Sangaku Japanese case mod makes me think of the days when I wanted to convince my dad to get into artisan design of products and I was thinking that the coolest computer case would be a dark stained oak case. (via jer)

Not being a viewer of the show Lost it took me a few minutes to figure out what this Lost Widget was, not that i can install it anyway.

Is the Quantum Computer technology or philosophy?

Most just see this as a monitor you can interact with but I see the potential of fully mapped keyboards and interface tools. Well that and fingerprints all over your monitor, "Who had the PEANUTBUTTER !?!?!"

Y'know, as a PC/Windows user, you think I might get a gloating giggle over this Apple Keynote Bloopers video but I don't. It just sorta depresses me that the once "works without fail" reputation that Apple once had has fallen to the "if it works most of the time" trap that MS has laid for the world. Actually, it is probably more like "if it works some of the time."

I would have assumed the new Apple iMac (intell duo core inside) would have had a redezine.

I never could think of a reason to have a USB thumb drive but then I remembered I needed to bring a PDF from home to work and cannot remember where I have any floppies.

Holey kafoley, these Top 10 weirdest case mods are a lot of fun. I wonder how long before The Ronce has beasties like this?

Hmmm, if my schedule allows I may be a fangeek and attend the Toronto TechTV Meetup.

Old soundcards are a bitch to reinstall even if you know what model it is. This is the REAL set of drivers for the creative Labs CT4810, not the crap that those advert, pay-for driver sites give you.

Now THIS is a kewl keyboard.
