I'M KANYE WEST AND I LIKE FISHSTICKS, IN MY MOUTH.
@Snake_Plissken: My PC is an old Dell Dimension 8400. I've upgraded the videocard but that was years ago.
My desktop PC is so old. I went to take a look at the required specs for the games the have listed and I'm only good on OS, sound and HHD space for most of them. Oh well, about what I expected. Think I'll get myself a 360 for X-Mas.
You live on "Eath" Kat? Where exactly is that? Do you have chocolate fountains there?
@siwex80: Photoshop could be usable, but they would be doing and 3D CAD on 2GB of ram and a mobile cpu/graphics chipset. The project I'm working on now is using C2D with 3GB ram and Nivida Quadro's and it chugs quite often. Granted those specs aren't exactly balls-to-the-wall either, but what do you expect from a DOE…
@Aklost: Yes you can pay more for the iPad, but you don't have to. With the Slate it's $800 or go home empty handed. I don't own an iPad and don't plan to. If had I been on the fence, waiting to find out about the Slate pricing, this news might have toppled me into Apple's walled garden.
$800 HP, really? No matter how much more capable your tablet is you're going up against the iPad, it's the king of the mountain. Quite a few people already think the iPad is overpriced. So, yeah, good luck stoopid.
@Leon Carpenter: Don't get me wrong, I don't think the mifi is a good deal or anything. Unless VZW has changed their data plans recently tethering requires the $45 data plan with a additional $15 charge for VZAccess (think that's what they call it). Even still, $60 for unlimited data on your phone and other devices…
@bdkennedy1002: 3=====D
@Mike43110: The guy I went to high school with was what some would call flaming. Like stereotypical flaming, talked with a lisp (seemingly by choice) and very effeminate. Last time I saw him he was in drag, but wasn't planning on surgery.
How is it possible that this is the only thing under the #crocodileplanecrash tag?
The crocs are none to happy either.
Must resist urge to comment with "Soviet Russia" meme;
I grew up in SE Tennessee (thanks for the condolences that will surely follow) and I cannot imagine being a gay teen in high school (I graduated in '89, yes, I'm that old). I went to high school with one openly gay guy and they gave that kid hell. Kids are intolerant turds, hopefully this helps a bit.
@freakboy9: I wonder if the Movers did the prototyping for this device?
Even though I'm not a Mac guy I have to agree with the other posters that the Air is not really a netbook. Maybe it rests somewhere between a netbook and a notebook, but it seems like is got more going for it than what most of us would consider a netbook.
@Hooray4Zoidberg: I agree that this is priced better than the original Air and that the price is comparable to similar offerings from other vendors. It's expensive to me because I'm not in the market for the type of things that make this more expensive than a regular laptop. Portability is close to the bottom of my…
Man, every time I read something about this phone OS my opinion on it changes. I know myself, the things that Matt lists as missing would drive me bat shit. I was the kid you couldn't keep from picking at his scabs. (Nice analogy, right?)
