I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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

It's where I got my tagline from!

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

That's awesome.

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

Very pretty 2TB external drive, only $270: LaCie Hard Disk MAX, a 2TB drive that's too sexy to be inexpensive

Is hard disk space getting cheap, or what? This minimalist LaCie Hard Disk MAX USB drive can hold 2 terabytes of your favorite files, combining a couple of 1TB drives in a RAID configuration that gives you either formidably fast response with 2TB (RAID 0) or reassuringly redundant security with 1TB (RAID 1). Either way, this shiny, piano-black, under-lit monolith will set you back just $270.

HP Mini 2140 Notebook is tiny, aluminum, gorgeous and cheap

Here's a tiny 2.6-pounder that's almost small enough to be called a netbook. The HP Mini 2140 Notebook PC's 10.1-inch screen is LED backlit, and with its optional 80-gig solid-state drive and small, low-power Intel Atom processor, it's packing all the right tech.

Its keyboard isn't too small, either, it's 92 percent the size of a full size keyboard. And hey, it's made of aluminum, making it super-chic. Surprisingly, at the same time, it's super-cheap, with pricing starting at $499. Available late January.

this is important enough to put in Beep Me, IMO. I'll go over there and post.

It looks like MacRumor's keynote coverage has been hacked: [link]

Douchebags.

This is easily the most boring keynote in recent memory.

Wake me when something happens.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

The sources I'm reading say that the total number of layoffs was closer to 12 than 28, that LJ isn't going anywhere, and that Valleywag is just being their usual sensationalistic self.
