Since when am I a Mac snob?

As some may know, I pride myself on being an equal appreciator of both Windows and Macintosh operating system.  I have the Mac Mini which I do most of my computing on, and an XP laptop.  Lately I’ve been writing a lot of papers and doing a lot of work (i.e. anything other than watching fansubs and movies and chatting) on my mac over my laptop.  So today I go into lab and I’m typing up directions in word on the sucktastic Dell boxes.  I finish and look at it and think “Good god that’s ugly”.

Since when am I so spoiled by things being pretty?  Since when am I a Mac snob?

Review of the past few weeks

I haven’t written for a while due to school, netflix, tivo, and reptile conventions.  However, this does not mean that I have been neglecting my blogs.  I’ve kept up, of a fashion, but just haven’t quite felt as if anything that interesting has happened to require a post.

Okay, okay, the new ipod nano, I got it.

To recap the last few weeks:

Apple’s going to kick ass no matter what.
There’s a new nano, I hate it less, but at least no one can sue due to the lack of shinyness.  The only exception: 8GB in a few mm?  Props.
Sandisk is going to own like whoa at second place.
Creative is going to fall, although I don’t see how they could get any worse at this point.
Samsung…well…you still suck.
Dell and HP are whores, but we knew this long ago.
The PS3 will be expensive, but what isn’t?
Grandmothers across the country will be confused as to their grandchildrens’ requests to urinate for Christmas.
OMG of the thousands they’ve sold your laptop is defective?  Ya, welcome to technology, get over it.
If you own a laptop, you might want to donate some sperm because your laptop will most likely fry your manhood.
Speaking of which, of all the reports of blowing up batteries, how come everyone’s lucked out and not received fried genitalia?
If myspace was a bar, you’d….well, insert something vulgar about molasses.
Facebook is becoming big brother, again, we knew this long ago.
OMG people can readz your infoz onlinez!!!  Excuse me, but may I slap you upside the head for not understanding that which is reality?  Get over it.
Zune dropped like a bomb because it sucked, not that Apple somehow has the hand of death up its ass.  It sucked.  Get over it.

More updates soon, I promise!

Dell scores with AMD: comperable love child on the way

In the chip wars of the past few years consumers, if given the choice, could go with Intel or AMD. Pentium chips have been the favored contender from what I remember, but AMD was the buddy of the budget minded builder. Being as I’m an underdog snob, I’ve always favored AMD (also because of their price points) when I was able to pick which one I was to get. From what I understand, I don’t really know why Dell hadn’t been using AMD chips previously aside from perhaps waiting for contracts to run out. There are plenty of people that want a computer that just ‘goes’ and don’t care about benchmarks or numbers of any kind (pr0n!). Hopefully this new deal will ease the cost for Dell and return to us the days of vast coupons running free across the prarie.

Wireless age my butt

So I’m moving in two days, and I always pack up my comptuer stuff first so as nothing gets lost.  My last few moves I had a whole bunch of random boxes of computer stuff but as I moved I found that the boxes migrated around thus causing much chaos and chord loss.

This time I just got one long tub thing that’s meant for rolling under a bed frame or such.  Pretty much everything fit in around my monitor.  Yay!  Don’t worry, the 2405fpw is in there upside down on top of a very squishy towel.
