Suing Microsoft – A good investment?
In this article Californians to soon get $1.1 bln from Microsoft, it says:
Beginning in August, Californians who have filed claims will receive vouchers that can be redeemed for cash during the next four years, said Richard Grossman, whose law firm represented plaintiffs in the class-action case..
Yet Another Photoshop Contest
Ladies and gents, here’s the winner of the Bestweekever.tv Matthew Mcconaughey Photoshop contest, where an image of him working out at the beach was mangled enhanced, for our viewing pleasure (certainly not his viewing pleasure I’m sure).
Actually, I was voting for this: Continue reading Yet Another Photoshop Contest
Nacho Libre
I watched Napoleon Dynamite, director Jared Hess’ second movie and the movie used to promote Nacho Libre, and I loved it.
The thing is, it’s one of those movies which you’d probably feel you shouldn’t have liked. I’ve always been big on movies with good stories, and Napoleon Dynamite is the opposite. It’s a hodgepodge of almost unrelated skits and situations, like those Tito, Vic and Joey movies of yore, where the chief character(s) just bounce around from scene to scene and something funny happens.
The saving grace is Napoleon himself, played by Jon Heder, who exudes dorkability to the extreme. He’s not a geek. He’s not a misunderstood nice guy. He’s a complete dweeb at the ultimate level, the kind of guy you couldn’t get far away enough from in school. So who cared about the disjointed skits? Napoleon Dynamite is such an insufferable dork you’re replaying his scenes, buying his t-shirts and voting for Pedro months after the movie (incidentally you’d have to have watched it to understand what that meant).

And now, the latest device up for review, the Xda Atom Pure. Just look at this thing:
Stale no more. AMD Buys ATI to wake up PC Market.
Check this out. AMD bought ATI today, which is a bit of a throwback, I think, to the 90’s when big mergers like that were the norm.
Anyway, important things to consider here off the top of my head:
- Possible integration of the graphics chip, chipsets and processor will offer a whole new type of machine never seen before.
- It will theoretically be faster. If it becomes much, much faster than a standard mobo/vidcard/chipset/processor/memory setup, then that means we’ve been suffering all along, and that the way it had been done for years, which is different components by different manufacturers put together, was actually a hindrance in performance. If on the other hand, it doesn’t offer much of a performance boost, then the opposite would be true.

Why Are There No Sports Blogs?
I’m being honest when I say that the reason I am not a professional blogger is that I’ve tried, but everyone has either rejected me, denied me, put me on a waiting list or flat out just not responded to my email requests. Of course it’s a reflection on my writing, which I’ve never been insecure about. I’ve been writing far too long and far too often to feel affected by anything now I guess, either that or I’m just thick-skulled.
Writing is a deep passion of mine, like being in a place where I know what I am doing. When you reach an area of comfort in something like that, it’s hard to feel discouraged. Being told I’m not good enough only makes me go to that place, and consequently write more. It’s weird I suppose, but it works.
This Epixtar Issue Just Won’t Die
I still get Epixtar spam, months after that infamous issue, which incidentally I won’t link to as I really don’t want to give it any more publicity than it should. Having said that, I’m about to post sample spam I regularly get re it, with no intent other than information:
