Odd perspectives on tech reality.

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!

Mac Pro: what, no middle name?

Mac Pro, needing no other nouns, debuted only a few days ago with a cry of “Umm…it’s still silver boys.”  Okay, that might have been my first impression, but I’m sure there are others who would have liked to see some sort of face-lift.  The guts, without question, have been changed for what initial views would say much the better.

The outer case looks quite the same, but the guts have been revamped for expandability as well as the obvious proc and company improvements.

Still gigantic though.

What’s amazing is that for a similar prebuilt PC, this new Mac Pro is by far cheaper than its Dell peer and filling in that price gap fits an Apple LCD monitor.  A recently posted shootout pits the two together.  I’m sure there are people who would still go towards the Dell, something you should not take me for being angered or disappointed over, but reviews like these are essential for people to read to make a proper decision. 

The world is going to hell, truly.
