2005 December

A humorous reminder of just how out of touch the mainstream media really can be. Today, we look at the wonders of owning a notebook PC over the desktop. o be fair, maybe I am being too harsh here. On second thought…

Man, why don’t I ever get to review stuff like this? I would LOVE to take one of these for a test drive…

Honestly, I would have to hear the difference for myself before forming any sort of opinions on this I think.

Come on, are the Macs really that underpowered? Well, I would have to agree to a certain extent that they seem sort of weak in the performance realm of things.

Oh yes, this will be on my holiday wish list come next year! VoIP in my pocket, who could ask for anything more?

Eight gigs of RAM! Boy, I suppose that someday soon this might not be so unusal?

Properally implemented, this technology could really be the next big thing in hardware!

OK, this is just insane! How in the world could these guys actually got a Celeron M 1.4GHz up to 4Ghz is beyond me! Well, without major issues, anyway.

Just because a DVD burner claims to offer one speed, does not really mean that you are guaranteed that level of performance.

To be honest, XP will remain Microsoft’s biggest threat to Vista’s success. Much like Windows 98 was for XP.

To be honest, I think that this trend being discussed below can often times be the case no matter where you are working from.

Personally, I think that it is going to be hard to label 2005 from a hardware point of view…

OK, sometimes we are just totally off when it comes to predictions. Hey, it happens to us all…

All and all, I would agree with the consensus in the article below. Still, I believe that Apple is an untapped giant waiting to shock us all.

It’s been my experience that when Intel makes news, they do so in waves. As they work their way into the entertainment world, it looks like their Viiv technology will be no exception.

Ah yes, it’s not just fast…it is extreme! Perhaps this could be part of the new marketing campaign for Intel’s latest chip?

Well, I am tickled pink that things are going well for VIA. To be frank however, they can keep their chipsets out of my PCs. Sorry, but no news will change my mind about that.

And this is just one example why I am all about the NVIDIA scene. Look at these bad boys!!

While I take the term ‘Top Secret’ with a grain of salt, the details outlined here about Intel’s CPU plans do offer us a lot to think about.

I don’t care what anyone tells me, ATI has burned me enough with poor driver support that it would take a small miracle to make me go back to them over NVIDIA.
