New PC with Vista

Computers, General No Comments »

I recently purchased a new PC at Fry’s. I don’t have the budget for a new Mac yet, so I got a pretty decent Windows box for only $300! Plus the tax and extended warranty, of course. It’s an HP Compaq Presario and has 2 Gigs of RAM and 250 Gig hard drive. So the computer came with Windows Vista. To my surprise, I’m really liking it. It has more of a Linux-like GUI which is pretty cool.

Wal-mart Sells Computer of the Future?

Computers, General No Comments »

Wal-Mart is selling a computer for $199. It’s called the Everex TC2502 and I like it.

Everex TC2502Why is it so great? First of all, it uses less energy than a typical desktop computer so it’s friendly to the environment. Second, the price is right; it doesn’t come with a monitor, but monitors are so inexpensive now, and you may even have an extra lying around somewhere…I do.

Last, but not least, it’s not Windows! The Everex TC2502 runs on the gOS operationg sytem, a Linux system that’s based on Ubuntu and Enlightenment). This is a great alternative to that crap OS and obviously much more affordable than the pricey Macintosh.

Some of the specs:

  • 80GB hard drive
  • 512 MB RAM (2 GB max)
  • CD burner and DVD player
  • OpenOffice software
  • Ethernet port
  • Keyboard, mouse, and stereo speakers

Tiger Kills Jerk at SF Zoo

General No Comments »

The other day, a man was killed and two were mauled by a tiger at the San Francisco Zoo. The “men” were reportedly teasing the animal and throwing rocks. If so, they deserve to be attacked. I feel sorry for the tiger; it has to live in confinement its whole life, then gets shot dead by police. Most people will blame the zoo, I’m sure, but I’m confident that the victim is to mostly blame.

Strange how people can be so dumb with such obvious things such as large predatory animals. Like just a week before, a man in India died from blood loss after suffering injuries from a Tiger after sticking his arms in the zoo enclosure (to take a picture). Not too smart.

Tigers are cool.

My Favorite Non-Techie RSS Feeds

Fun, General No Comments »

I read numerous RSS feeds, mostly related to front-end web development. But there are a few that I read that are not tech-related…

By the way, I use NetVibes, an awesome personalized “home page” which can not only read and organize RSS feeds, but also blogs, email accounts, social networks, search engines, instant messengers, photos, videos, podcasts, and game widgets!
