Good for Dell
Buy a computer without any OS on it. No more crap Windows/manufacturer extra crap software. Heck no Windows, unless you want it (buy Vista for $119 or something at Newegg, no links for you guys, I’m lazy). Linux, etc. Go at it.
You can blame corporate America
AppleInsider | Apple to impose 802.11n unlocking fee on Intel Mac owners
I’m no SarOx expert or anything. In fact, I only know the most basic things about the law. But this is absolute crap. And if Apple has to charge a nominal fee, why $5? Why not $1? So ridiculous. I blame Enron, WorldCom, etc. for all those problems which led to Sarbannes-Oxley.
this is the hotness
so hot, this is the outside of an Apple notebook.

hey everyone could save a buck!

Macworld: News: Garmin intros Training Center software for Mac
All companies should release Mac software (I’m looking at you Tivo!!!!). I don’t use Garmin gear. I’m not that serious a runner. My nike+ kit does just fine. But if I ever got really into it, I’d use a Garmin or a Suunto.
What did you learn this year?
BBC Magazine – 100 Things We Learned This Year
Random list by the BBC of things we learned this year. Though there are links to the info, some I remain dubious about (admittedly not having clicked through).
(And yes I realize that “So random even I don’t know what it is” would imply that I shouldn’t tag this post with other bits, but I didn’t read the whole 100 list and I’m leaving myself some grey area.)
Such celly hotness
This has been all over the techblogs, and I’m repeating it here because it’s just so hot. I need this phone. Okay, I don’t. But playing with my girlfriend’s new celly made me more than dissatisfied with my SLVR (form factor aside). I almost picked up a SE w810i (or dropped real money on the k790a) or the Sammy d900 carbon (pfft, links, bah, google them you want to know so bad), but have been holding out hope that the iphone/imobile is all I will want in a phone (form factor included). Though playing with the Blackberry Pearl was nice, even though I don’t need a smart phone. (This Sammy I linked has HSDPA, which I would get a data plan for ASAP, even though I wouldn’t get one for a smart phone.).
If the Applephone sucks, I can always get something else. (And Apple had better release another standalone iSight camera damnit! And iTV better not suck, with the new fee structure, Tivo doesn’t look like it’s going to be renewed, unless it only costs $3-5 more to install it on my Comcast cablebox).

Windows Vista security flaw discovered – Security – MSNBC.com
The flaw affects older Windows systems, too, and Hypponen said vulnerabilities like these are quite common and can be fixed with a software patch
haha, that was quick. This doesn’t sound like a big deal. I just love that MS’s answer is basically “Oh, we’ll patch it… don’t sweat it…” hahaha
I want the next step
