I NEED IT!!!
September 12, 2006
while as you probably know apple had their “it’s showtime” announcement today and announced a completely revamped iPod lineup, including an updated fifth-generation iPod, new second-generation iPod nano, and an all-new iPod shuffle. They also rolled out iTunes version 7 with movie downloads and several new features,and gave a preview of a forthcoming living room device called the iTV. I don’t really care about the itunes selling movies cause i’m a pirate and don’t buy movies, but that new 80 gig iPod video will fit all of my pirated movies and music nicely. i already had my eye on the new 24″ imac now that this ipod is out i have a feeling apple will be getting some money from me very soon.

Core 2 Duo iMacs!!
September 7, 2006
I guess that Apple decided not to wait until it’s September 12th to deliver its new iMacs. Apple updated their macintels with four new iMac models, including a huge 24″ model. All the new iMas have screaming fast Intel Core 2 Duo processors. The four models : a 1.83 GHz and a 2.0 GHz 17-inch model, a 2.16 GHz 20-inch and the all-new 2.16 GHz 24-inch iMac. Prices start at USD$999.00 and they are shipping today through the . This might be the Mac that I buy, i was previously looking at the macbook but it might be better to have a mac desktop than laptop.

160Mbps down / 120Mbps up cable speeds coming
September 4, 2006
“Cable modem speed freaks, be patient. One analyst predicts that by 2011, only 40 percent of consumers will be able to take advantage of the higher speeds offered by DOCSIS 3.0. DOCSIS 3.0 achieves its speed boost in part through “channel bonding” (using more than one channel to transmit data) for both up- and downstream transmission.” I guess that my mere 5Mbps Down and 512Kbps Up will suffice until then.

bon voyage!
July 25, 2006
here is just a little heads up to anyone who actually reads my blog. i’m going to be going to minneapolis for a few weeks, and will unfortunately be without the internet (no more tubes!!!)-if you didn’t get that joke listen to this mp3. If I can get my hands on a computer i’ll be sure to post some stuff.
I’ll be driving down there and it’ll take 7 hours!! I usually fly down to minneapolis a “mere 1 hour in the air”, Because of this long drive i’ve loaded up my video ipod with a bunch of podcasts.
Here’s a little list of my fave podcasts.
The “RIZR”
July 25, 2006
“Motorola has officially announced the RIZR Z3, or what we have known in rumors as the Capri. It’s the first slide-style handset in the RAZR design series that is destined for a US launch (there was one prior to now just for the Asian market).”
This looks like a pretty awesome phone. I don’t own a RAZR but one of my friends does an its pretty cool, I however don’t really like flip phones, so this one I might buy.
AMD buys ATI
July 25, 2006
AMD buying ATI doesn’t really bother me, why?, i don’t really like either companies, I do own a PC that has an AMD chip in it, but it just sits in the corner. I don’t own anything made by ATI, all NVIDIA over here!!! I was thinking about getting a PC with an “AMD X2″, but since i heard about Intels new “Core 2 Duo” no more AMD in this house……at least for the time being.
