Check it out here. Are you all hyped-up to get one and move all over the country now? You go. Have fun. Don't expect me to be waiting for you. Stay tuned for an Alienware update! (Remember the end of last post?...)

Talk about a Renegade!

Everybody knows what -or who- Dell is. Right? Right. Now, more Q&A: Did you know that Dell is going for big-time gaming? I thought so. You didn't. Well... They are. And I don't know about them... I mean, Dell... And Gaming?...

Here's the scoop -or the specs- of the all-new Dell XPS 600 RENEGADE:

"The XPS 600 Renegade will feature an Intel Pentium 965 Extreme Edition dual-core processor that's been overclocked from 3.46GHz to 4.26GHz (and warranted by Dell for a year). It's also Dell's first PC equipped with Quad-SLI technology (four nVidia GeForce 7900 GPUs, for a total of 2GB graphics memory) which should enable high-frame rate, high-definition gaming at resolutions up to 2560 by 1600. Further high-end components include 2GB of DDR2 SDRAM, two hard disks (a 400GB 7200-RPM drive and 160GB 10,000-RPM Raptor drive) plus a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty sound card with front drive bay module."

One other bonus to this Mean Machine is Dell's 30" LCD. Oh, Did I mention that the price of this machine starts at $9930? Well, it does.

Let's just say it's a killer. In Size, Paint, Specs and Price. Check it out here.

If you're willing to dish out ten grand and are also willing to put up will Dell, get one. In my opinion, if you want a gaming system, just get an Alienware... Wait a minute! Alienware isn't owned by Alienware anymore... Who owns them?... Stay tuned...

I said I wouldn't... But I did.

I said I wouldn't rant and rave about Apple anymore but... I am. Again. I can't believe it... This is crazy... but I am!

"Say goodbye to the bulky expensive stereo and wall of CDs. iPod Hi-Fi puts out such natural, room-filling sound — with clear stereo separation — that you'd think you were listening to a multi-speaker setup. But no, it's a single, gorgeous unit that can fit almost any bookshelf, tabletop, or entertainment center."

Yea! Sounds great! (Pun not intended) Once again... look at the price tag: $350! Ack! That is just expensive! (I know there are some of you crazys that would like to have a white hunk of plastic that makes good noise and are willing to pay $350 for one but I sure wouldn't!) I mean, how many other "iPod playing stereos" are there that probably sound just as good that cost less than $100!? And you're willing to spend $350 for one that says "Apple" on it! That thing is heavy!... (-indistinct mumbling-)... You can see it here.

I end my complaints.

(Hopefully to never start again! About Apple, I mean...)

Sweet Car Update 5

Okay, I haven't posted a "Sweet Car Update" for a while so I'm doing one now... The car today is the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. (That's a long name!) I think it's rock'in sweet! (Note: This is not a concept car! That means you could actually see it driving around on the streets! You would have to be pretty lucky to see one though...)


"Inspired by the legendary 300 SLR Coupé of the 1950s, the new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is the perfect synthesis of tradition and innovation. Breathtaking performance, striking looks and the use of lightweight materials such as carbon fibre for the chassis make the SLR an unforgettable experience."
Now isn't that just cool?! (I got to get me one of those!) You can see the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren here. Stay Tuned!

Apples are Apples (But this is too much!)

Okay, yes I know that I have been doing a lot of posts on Apples but I just have to do one more. Here we go... (I hope you don't mind a little ranting and raving)

Everybody knows Apple and everybody wants Apple and everybody thinks Apple is very innovative and everybody likes it when they come out with a new awesome product (wow... That's a lot of "everybodys"!) but this time I think they (Apple) have just gone weird and over done it. (For once) This is the first time I've ever complained about Apple and hopefully it will be the last... The new Apple iPod case is going too far. (See below)


Yes, it looks cool and yes, it does have a big Apple on it and yes, it is leather and yes, is does say iPod... (That's a lot of "and yes's") but all of that sours when you look at the price tag: $99. "Apple! What's wrong with you? Don't you know that you can get much better (protective, usable and handier) cases for much less?" (Like $20 - $50!) I don't know... Some of you may be willing to spend that much for a case that says "Apple iPod" on it but I sure wouldn't!

I rest my case... (Pun intended) "Till some other more opportune moment..."

Could it be? The iPalm

Don't get me wrong. I'm not sure of anything so don't sue me if it doesn't come out right. Read this article on brighthand before continuing with this post. (Note: It is a rumor and has no sure output so don't take it too seriously) By the way, I highly recommend brighthand, it is a very clear and clean reviewing website. I really like it. (No, I'm not getting paid to say this) Anyway! Back to the apple handheld. Isn't that just cool? I should get me one of those... (This is a very confusing post... I'm confused myself... :-| )

Small is Beautiful... (Especially When it's Supercharged!)

They've done it. Apple's Mac Mini is now Intel based. You can't buy Power-PC based Mac Minis any more. (I'm good... I don't want Power PC any more then you do... :-) These new Minis are selling for almost the same price as the old Power-PC ones! (Actually they are $100 more than the previous models but I think it is because they have higher-on-average specs then the older Minis)

"The Mac that redefined what you can expect from a compact, affordable computer does it again. Mac mini now features the revolutionary Intel Core processors, more expansion options, and a new way to command your digital life — all in the same amazingly compact package."

These new Macs are also up to 4x faster than previous models and they have other added features such as 4 USB ports instead of the 2 and an apple Front Row remote too! Now... Is that cool or is that cool? "It's cool!" (Of course!) Check out their website here! So... When are you going to get one of those new-spiffy Minis? I want one! Stay iTuned!

It's Not "Smarty-Pants!" Any More

It's old school lingo to call things "Smarty-Pants" now. The newest lingo today is "Smart-Board"... That just it. The all new "smart-board" technology makes it possible for you to use both hands, all ten fingers and your head at once!... Well... Not quite your head. Check it out!




Isn't that just cool? I know you've seen your touchpads on laptops and you've seen little touch screens on PDAs that you use a stylus for and you've even seen some sweet GPS touch screens in cars and other things... But there is one thing in common with all these things... Can you guess? They all have to have only one touch at once or else they don't respond to the other touches!... Hummm... Pretty weird huh? Well, thanks to the latest-greatest that isn't a problem any more! Meet the SmartBoard. The worlds first multi-touch screen. Check out their website here. Spiffy. Stay tuned! (Note: It is a new-awesome technology it hasn't come out yet and who knows when it will come out to all us normal everyday people... :-) (One more note: Guess who bought the patent for this technology? Apple!!! Now you Mac people can look smug again!)

It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's a... Vertical Mouse?

That's just it. A vertical mouse. Boy, but that looks weird! Have you ever actually seen one of those? Me neither.

"The patented shape supports your hand in a relaxed handshake position that eliminates forearm twisting. You will quickly become accustomed to the improved comfort. An ordinary horizontal mouse requires your forearm to twist away from its natural position.

The grip is the same as an ordinary mouse, just turned sideways, and the buttons are operated by the same fingers. There is virtually no retraining necessary."

Wow... Anybody for a vertical mouse? -The silence is deafening- No, actually I think it would be cool to have one and see if it really is better that a regular mouse... I don't know if I want to spend $75 - $105 for one though... Check out their website here! Stay tuned! ("Aack! Where did all these Vertical mice running around come from?")

If We Were Flent to My, We Bould All be Worn With...?

I am officially announcing a new awesome-cool spoonerism blog called "Runny Babbit!" It is being run by me and a friend of mine and will include many spoonerisms and other crazy stuff. Check it out! (For a complete explination of what "spoonerisms" are, see the site!)

Nintendo's DS on a Diet

The all new Nintendo DS Lite is what most of us would call... well... light... smaller... on a diet. Actually the "new Nintendo DS Lite skimps on the size and weight by shaving off 1/3rd of the bulk and 20-percent of the weight, and will apparently be released in Japan on March 2nd for about $145." If you were previously planning to get the original DS you should wait and get this one instead. (Oh yeah, one more thing: The new DS will probably be able to play videos and a bunch of other stuff!) If you want to know more about it you should check out here or just Google "Nintendo DS Lite" for more information. I might update further later.

Ugly Car Update 2

Yuck! That's digusting! I have no idea what it is or what it's called so don't ask me. "So, what's it called?" I just told you! Don't ask! I just found a picture of it one day and have not found out what it is yet. I have this much to say about it: "That is one UUGGLLYY car!" Stayed tuned!



Have a good day!

Palm OS Vs. Windows Mobile

Here we have yet another "something vs. something" post. I like doing these types because it helps me convince myself that I really do like one better than the other... :-) The specific post is about handhelds and which is better. "So it begins..."

(You will notice that I am specifically comparing the Palm TX and the Dell Axim X50 in this post)

The Palm TX:
Features:

• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
• 320x480 screen
• 128MB memory
• 312 MHz Intel Processor
• Listen to music, look at photos and watch videos
• Bonus software included

Price: $300

The Dell Axim X50:
Features:

• Bluetooth
• 128MB Memory
• 412 MHz Intel Processor
• Listen to music, look at photos and watch videos
• Record things with the built-in Mic.

Price: $300

So... Which is better? Well... When it all comes down to it, I think it all depends on which one you like better. (Doa!) Read this. If you want some good reviews on each of these featured handhelds read here for the TX and here for the Axim X50.

The Bottom Line:

I think that after all this comparing that I like the Palm TX the best. (Of course, my opinion is subject to change unexpectedly... stay tuned for further updates...)

Look at the Amazing Vista... What do you see?

I seriously wonder if the "all-new-fangled" Microsoft Vista will be all that great... If you're a big Microsoft fan you would say: "Of course it will be great! It's the latest-greatest Microsoft "innovation!" (Har. Har.) If you happen to be a Apple-lover (like me...) you will get a smug look on your face and say: "It won't work. It's Microsoft. (They stink.)" If you are a Linux (LINux!) user you probably won't care worth a tin can and a pig nose. I'm sure that the newest Microsoft OS will look nice and maybe be slightly better that XP but so what? Apple has had that + innovation since 1812!!! Well... not quite. Windows is finally doing 64-bit OS! But again, Apple has had 128-bit since 1812 also. Smelly Gates. (No offence to Microsoft) Dominators!!! (Again no offence) I rest my case. (For now!...)

Sweet Car Update 4

"Sweet mon... killo dude... totally jello awesome... rock'n sweet..." Why do we always use such bad slang nowadays? I mean, if the whole wide world were to not use any slang... The whole wide world wouldn't... Anyway! Back to thee car. It's the Gibbs Aquada. And yes, what you see is true. It IS driving on water and yes, it does seem an awful lot like Herbie but... we won't go there. I think it's "Killo dude..." It's almost like the movies! Well... it is. Wouldn't it be cool to have a car that can drive on water? I didn't think so-I mean!-I thought so. Stay ituned... ;-}

iMac x 2 = Power

Do the math. iMac x 2 = Power. Simple mathematics. The new iMac Core Duo has an Intel dual core processor that gives it much more power and compatibility that the previous iMac G5.

"Dual Core Performance The world's best designed and easiest-to-use desktop just got faster. Now with the Intel Core Duo processor with two execution cores on a single chip — iMac brings a new generation of power to the amazing things it can do. Twice the Horsepower The Intel Core Duo processor and a whole new architecture give iMac literally twice the horsepower it had previously."

It actually looks exactly the same as the iMac G5 but it's what is inside of the iMac that counts. (Its still nice to have it look sooooo shiny and nice... :-)

That's it. You can see it here. They also have a new Intel Powerbook here. I like it!

I feel even dumberer...

It's come. I feel even dumberer... In my last post I accidentally posted a ginormus picture. I'll try not to do that one again!...

I'm Googling at the Earth!

Google Earth. The Power of It. It's pretty cool. Some of it's features include: fully rotatable and zoomable angle view controls, 3D buildings in major cites, searching for any address anywhere, settings to show roads, restaurants, hotels and everything else you can think of. The whole interface is slick and easy to use. There is only one problem I can think of about it, and that's that you have to have a pretty fast internet connection to run it. That's not really a big problem but its kind of unfair to all those "old school" dial up modem people... :-)

Overall its really nice and is very educational as well as useful. 6 stars!

I feel even dumber...

Yes. I just realized that I didn't post two of that post. (What next? "I feel even dumberer?")

I feel dumb...

If you havent allready noticed, I just made a mistake and published a post twice. Dumb. I won't do that one again! (I hope...)
