FOr a device that is just a rumor, who's release date was a vague whisper and itsexistence  outright denied by Apple, everyone sure has a solid opinion. I'll believe it when I see it. You have all succumbed to the reality distortion field if you think you know anything about it. But I like the guy who says the TechCrunch is better and half the price when that device has yet to surface.

 So would you rather have Pegasus or a unicorn as a pet?

Last time I saw this was at Johnny Rockets. They are struggling now, ever since they were bought by Redskins owner Dan Snyder. But what's the worst that can happen? ONE store goes under?

Maybe they should sell churros.

I have a Porsche Design lighter that never needs batteries and will light on demand. You can also light a torch or a campfire should you need more illumination. Or a cigar if you need a break. Looks the same too. $80

Screw the netbooks, how about hacking one of those 15", $300 Asus laptops at Best Buy? Now that would be useful.

The assumption is that XP users are dropping everything to upgrade to Win 7. They aren't probably because they are waiting for the bugs to get ironed out for Win 7 upgraders or waiting for Black Friday to get a new system altogether. People switching to Mac keeps trickling in since they just released some hardware. The real statistic they ignore is the conversion of Vista to Win7. How's that going along??

Don't upgrade because we aren't ready to handle the support calls! That's the message he's sending.

Screw him, I'm ramrodding my in-laws into the world of 7 from XP, and they are fighting. I built them a SFF Athlon 64 X2 based system 2 years ago and all it needs is a new VidCard to be fully compatable. I am going to go ahead and change out the 8 yr old 40GB HDD for a 2.5in HDD, SATA, and a SATA DVD drive to rid them of the IDE cable and improve air flow in that case. Can't happen too soon!

My friend had a similar problem, we diagnosed it finally when the video card caught fire. Bad capacitor. Look for bad caps on the MoBo since everything else was checked. Also, if it is a bad HDD then using a live disc of Ubunto or Knoppix will let you boot. Usually a bad HDD will leave you with a blinking cursor but it boots. Something with the video circuit shuts it down early.

So Voodoo's contributions will be less visible now? What a mess. What ever happened to that gaming PC with the aluminum case and the layout turned 90 deg? Will there ever be a flat out, balls to the wall Voodoo PC ever again? Is the Blackbird and Firebird as good as it will ever get?

Seems that this is the new frontier for LAN machines. When is Alienware or Voodoo going to hop on this form factor and give us an all in one that can run Crysis? When is Gordon going to hack one of these things to do the same thing? That would be a fun article.

Linux is incompatible with the software Best Buy wants to SELL you. Which is better for Best Buy, selling a PC with windows and then a copy of Office, or a PC with Linux that comes with Open Office. Hmmmm....
