Ok, so there were some feed problems that now have iTunes out of sync with the correct feed. This means that currently, even though it says you are downloading Episode 30, you are actually grabbing Episode 29. Hopefully, this will fix itself over the course of the day.
No problems with itunes for me yesterday, actually.
meh, yahoo…i was a lycos guy, personally.
um, dell’s restricted in what they can put in their machines? did you mean to say that they have their own home-rolled mobo designs with integrated video? making their production lines much more efficient? and that walmart is basically getting into the white-box business? where they assemble cots hardware for you for a price?
plus, people go to walmart because it’s cheap. avoiding the $150 microsoft tax by putting linspire or some other user-friendly linux distro makes a computer much cheaper.
oh, and i just checked, and if you’re speccing a “gamer” machine from dell, you can pick your video card. well, at least your chipset.
carl is insane. the one thing everyone’s been frothing about hearing about is the ps3. they don’t care about 360 game demos (except maybe halo). they care about finally getting hard numbers from sony about release dates and prices.
#2 would be nintendo.
Also, a pair of photos demonstrating the sad, sad increase in the amount of clothing they’re giving booth babes this year can be found over at gizmodo.
Thankfully, some of the booth babes weren’t taking this extra clothing shit lying down. They protested for their rights to be scantily clad.
DAMN THE MAN!
You think the girls in Colorado are hotter than the girls in New England? Are you on CRACK??!? I moved from Connecticut to Colorado two years ago and have seen no evidence of this. Connecticut has muchas hotties.
I think its one of those “grass is greener on the other side of the fence things”. I’ve had numerous people tell me the girls down here are hotter, but I frankly haven’t seen evidence either. I think the problem is the fact that summer weather lasts longer the further south you go, so you get to see chicks in less clothes longer.
Of course, why hadn’t I thought about that? Its the clothing. Its so simple. Just more proof that Remy is Right. Cuz, I have to say, I don’t buy the premise that the girls are hotter on the west coast.
