flea,

I would recommend purging (if you can, your history, cookies, and caches).

even better, I think it is time you created a new profile. You need something fresh and clean:

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Kmart starts selling a $190 Android-based netbook

Computers don't get much cheaper than this: Kmart is now selling an Android-powered netbook by Augen for a mere $190. With a 10.2-inch screen, 1024x600 display and weighing in at 1.8lbs, it looks about how you'd expect a netbook to look.

Of course, for that cheap, you're getting a machine that's slower than most high-end smartphones. It's got a 800MHz ARM11-based chip and a mere 256MB of RAM. There's 2GB of storage on board, although that can be expanded via an SDHC memory card slot. Overall, it might be worth upping your budget a bit and getting something a touch more powerful, but then again, you can't really argue with a sub-$200 netbook.

Umm a lot of standard Netbooks in the $220 range. An Android netbook needs to be either cheap or more powerful than described.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

We recently transferred some old home movies to DVD and Mom wants me to upload some clips to youtube. Will I need to buy video editing software to do this?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

No - you can rip the video files with Handbrake and upload them straight from there. If there isn't a setting called "YouTube" any of the various Quicktime formats will work.

[eta: Actually I'm not sure if Handbrake will let you select clips or just whole chapters. If you're on a Mac MPEG Streamclip is my preferred way to clip out DVDs because you can set in/out points wherever you want.]

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I need to buy an HDMI cable for CJ's PS3. Any tips or good sources. I have done some goggling and I see a wide range of prices. Does it make that big of a difference? My instinct is to find the cheapest one for the length I need. Advice?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Go for the cheapest.
