A guy, on a forum that I visit frequently, received a surprise ticket in the mail. Next time think again about running a red light! Look at the zoom of that camera: It must be a 10+ megapixels to take a clear shot of that license plate! Technology is getting so ridiculously clever; in the future, we might even get tickets in the mail for walking on the wrong side of a street. What is the world coming too!

 
Remember when you were a little kid, you would dream of piloting your own robot? No? Well anyways, that dream is coming closer to reality: Check this video out, it’s the most functional robot I’ve ever seen. It slips on ice and doesn’t fall! I can’t even believe to think of how many calculations were involved in order for keep balance; I can’t even do that.

 
I’m beginning to think that in the future robots will definitely take over society. I mean, I can’t keep my balance like that robot, lift as much wait, or process as much math. There is probably a large list of things that robot can do better than me, so therefore I’m inferior. It’s just a matter of time before a microwave does everything better than me.

 
You can be guaranteed you’ll see things like this in the future, for military and civilian use. It’s good for carrying things and stepping over big piles of rock This thing is really unreal!

I just hope the Japanese haven’t invented a transformer yet, capable of flying and killing things. Whatever, they probably do have something like that, but I bet we do too.

Yeah.

A few months ago I decided to save some money and build my own computer. After a few weeks I had all the pieces and was so excited. The computer was working alright…I could use the Internet and basic apps, but only 1 GB of memory was working and I couldn’t use my vid card. So I thought the RAM was bad and bought some new RAM, but of course that didn’t work. Then I figured the HD was messed up, so I bought a new HD. That didn’t work either…I tried to fix Vista with updates and eventually decided to go back to good old XP.

So I tried to install XP and the computer just wouldn’t work. I have no idea what’s wrong with it, but last week I saw a good deal and took advantage.

Dell was having a $300 off $999 deal, which they have fairly often. I got the Inspiron 530 with the Q6600 (quad-core power :)), a 24″ monitor and the rest pretty basic…I’ll just take some RAM and the vid and sound cards from my failed computer :(. I paid $810 shipped and it should be here early next week. If I sell the monitor i could probably get another $350 back and sell the other parts on the old computer. Oh yeah, I also get a pretty good warranty.

So if you’re in desperate need of a good computer, wait for a good deal at dell.com and get some value for your money!!!

So I was browsing the Internet and found a recent study by Mindset Media contrasting Mac and PC users.

First off, let me rant about Mac. It is expensive. It troubles me to think that people will pay the outrageous prices they do for an Apple computer. The MacBook, the bottom-feeder of Apple computers, starts at $1099 and is certainly nothing special. However, if you do want to upgrade it’s poor specs, you will pay prices that make me sick. Want an extra gig of ram? $150. Three gigs of ram? An astounding $850!! I have four gigs of ram in my desktop, and if i remember, i paid $60 dollars for two good gigs of ram. Steve Jobs then decided to create the Macbook Air. I admit that the Air is incredibly thin. BUT, the price is outrageous for the product. The Air starts at a measly $1799 and the upgrade, which only gives you .2 GHz of extra speed and less HD space at only 64 gigs, will cost you $3098…WHAT A DEAL!! The Air comes with either a 1.6 or 1.8 GHz processor-very slow at best. Not only are their computers overpriced, but Apple TV, iPhone, ipod…the list goes on…are priced ridiculously high.



Alright, I think I’ve gone on long enough, now for the study.



Mac users are said to be self-centered and have a strong need for recognition. Mac users believe they are superior to PC users, feel self-important, and extraordinary. Mac users are more likely to use teeth whiteners and buy up to five new pairs of shoes a year. They’re more likely to have an open personality, buy organic food, drive a hybrid car, and visit Starbucks frequently. Mac users are perfectionists and half of them are crazy enough to pay for music, while only 16% of PC users pay. Mac users are liberal (not a bad thing :D) and are willing to pay more for “green” technology. Mac users are far more satisfied with their computers than PC users; 70% to 59%.
