Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
an entertaining article about gilletes new and upcoming 5 blade razor (a fictional piece about a real product).. i mean i own one of the mach3 turbos and swear by it (its the only one that doesnt rip chunks of flesh from my face when i shave).. but seriously.. 5 blades is just stoopid.

throwing a wad of cash at input devices
applications improve, games improve, but hell the mouse and keyboard have basically stayed the same since the first ones rolled off the assembly line.
well after muchr reading i decided to buy meself a shiny Logitech MX-518 mouse and a squeaky clean Steelpad S&S mouse pad (yes they're rather neglected things) with a new keyboard on the way when i figure out which.
click and you will see the details..
i miss my moneys (mouse = 85$aud -- ebay, mousepad = 72$aud -- denmark online store) but i sure know i wont miss my old mouse

Video Games Make Great Surgeons
see this..
“Then when we looked at whether you were a current video gamer, we found that if you played video games currently, you were over 30 percent better, faster, and created fewer errors than someone who did not play video games at all.”

TechEd 2005 - APC Magazine » Hefty hardware requirements for Windows Vista
an interesting read..
TechEd 2005 - APC Magazine » Hefty hardware requirements for Windows Vista
at least we fin ally have some information.. i guess ill delay my new pc purchase till next year.. :'(
here are the more relevant bits
"Vista would work best on a video card with more than 256MB RAM, 2GB of DDR3 memory and a S-ATA 2 hard drive."
"The GPU needs a very high speed bi-directional bus to communicate with main memory. That has not been the case in the past, and what it means is that AGP will not be optimal"
"you really are going to see performance improvement for OS support for multicore" (CPU)
"The downside is that all your existing flat panel monitors and projectors aren't going to work with high-def videos in Vista. Bad news."
Vista's requirements in summary
"In a 32 bit environment, half a gig of RAM is heaps. It's going to fly. For 64 bit you're going to want 2 gigs of DDR3 RAM.
"If you move from 32 to 64 bit, you basically need to at least double your memory. 2 gigs in 64 bit is the equivalent of a gig of RAM on a 32bit machine. That's because you're dealing with chunks that are twice the size… if you try to make do with what you've got you'll see less performance. But RAM is now so cheap, it's hardly an issue.
"In terms of disks, you're really going to want S-ATA 2hard drives with NCQ capability because it gives the OS the ability to get on with stuff while disk tasks complete. All the tier 1 and tier 2 vendors can provide this capability today.
"Thirdly, the graphics card and system bus is essential. PCI x16 is going to be very important. Any of today's 3D GPUs will be fine… we're not waiting for some mystical monster that may or may not come out. But they need to have 128MB of RAM on it. If they've only got 64 don't panic.
"We acknowledge that many corporate notebooks have fairly low-end integrated graphics chips. They're not exactly high performance graphics systems. For those users, we will provide a classic UI that looks like XP, and then we will have Aero that will start to make use of the GPU, and then there's Aero Glass that will demand the higher level.
"We are talking a year out here, so I have no doubt the vendors will address this in that period of time.”
