Cnet has a section titled “Editors top home laptops less than $1,000”
Three of the six laptops listed (and 3 of the 4 with prices shown) have street prices over $1,000. That’s quality journalism.
A new Venture Bros. season.
Well, I guess it’s not just for ngvrnd, but I thought he’d be interested to find out about it.
I am the proud owner of a REB 1100 ebook reader from RCA. I purchased it on a lark for about $40 on overstock a couple of years ago. I use it to read “classics” I can download off Blackmask for free rather than pay Penguin all that money. (Note: Blackmask is down [...]
I needed to buy a laptop. I ordered a great HP business model from one web retailer. I wanted to buy an HP to reward them for creating my last notebook- an Omnibook 6000, which has lasted for 6 years without one problem (er- well no problem I did not cause with my [...]

From Episode 26: “I Am Not the Fine Man You Take Me For” :
Dan: If we know Hearst is coming, Boss, why the fuck don’t we strike first?
Al: From the moment we leave the forest, Dan, it’s all a giving up and adjusting.
Dan: Across the thoroughfare to slit that cocksucker’s throat.
Al: We forego the rock [...]

Mediating disputes? Do I have to leave the house for that?

AN INQUIRER READER attending a conference in Japan was sat just feet away from a laptop computer that suddenly exploded into flames, in what could have been a deadly accident.
Guilhem, our astonished reader reports: “The damn thing was on fire and produced several explosions for more than five minutes”.
No doubt it’s just a Windows [...]
“This is truly a Stonehenge monument that is in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.”
Idiot’s laptop falls of the laptop stand while he tried to adjust it despite stickers and instructions not to leave objects on it while adjusting. Idiot is pissed because the table company won’t pay for him to repair his laptop. In typical geek fashion, idiot makes website bitching about it all, including reinactment [...]
The QM has a post with a link to old toys. As a child of the 70’s I still have a big collection of Micronauts (including Baron Karza) , Battlestar Galactica action figures and vehicles and Giant Shogun Warrior robots. The shogun warriors were great because they shot all sorts of projectiles which [...]
Roving archenemy field correspondent SBL reports a confrontation with mortality to archenemy HQ’s answering machine:
Dude, I’m calling you from the front row of the Buzzcocks show. We’re in between bands. Just thought I’d call and share with you the very hystrical news: I’m like right up against the stage and there are these two chicks [...]
This is about the fourth day – not in a row, thankfully – I’ve had what seems like Verizon’s entire fleet of trucks noisily idling, moving forward, and backing up (beep! beep! beep!) outside my “office” window. Yes, I’m looking forward to giving their FiOS service a shot, but if the truck’s just going to [...]
More comedy gold from my favorite source of the funny:
A Russian man who was in pre-trial custody over charges of leading a criminal gang, has escaped from jail in Novosibirsk, leaving his twin brother in his stead, the Interfax news agency reported Friday.
Valerii Voblikov’s twin brother participated in the trial as his civil defense lawyer. [...]
Apparently you can now get toilet paper in “issues“, instead of the more traditional rolls.
TJIC passed on a rumor that Deadwood’s third season will be it’s last. However:
The third season of the HBO western, which begins Sunday, will still be its last full season on the air. But the network and series creator David Milch have reached an agreement to extend the show’s life through a pair of two-hour [...]
I was outbid on a set of three Corto Maltese books on ebay. Now I’ll have to buy just one book via Amazon for twice the price I almost got three for.
Sigh.
