Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

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

Does anyone have an opinion on fancy bike computers? I'm thinking of getting my Dad one for his 60th birthday, and the Garmin Edge line looks right up his alley - lots of bells and whistles, GPS, etc.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Kinda depends on how technical you are

Not at all. In fact, I think I murdered a toaster in previous life, and its spirit gets even with me in this life, via computers.

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

Is anyone else Steve-stalking today? It'll be the new notebooks that have been leaked and (I'm guessing) more on Snow Leopard, but any other predictions?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There's a good chance I'll end up buying something today.

I'd recommend staying away from Linux then, it is more user friendly than ever, but not on the level of Windows and OSX yet.

Stevestalking: They've just spent a loooong time talking about (a) their education market share and (b) their case manufacturing process (the latter does sound incredibly cool, to be fair) -- this makes me think it'll be the new notebooks and no other big suprises. They're filling time.

Light weight and mega graphics improvements. Resolve. Crumbling.

Our wings are not tired

Well fuck, if I'm reading it correctly they didn't announce a new 17" and they dropped the matte display. I really hope that's wrong.

You're not wrong, ND. Sorry. The existing 17" MacBook will still be on sale, at least for now.
