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:

Thoughts about ‘Survey: Majority of Blogs are Personal’
- Duh.
- Obviously focused on American bloggers, but it’s safe to assume many of the details, like the reason why people blog, are the same worldwide.
- On a similar article titled “Report exposes real deal about bloggers“, it says that “While 74 percent of Internet users are white, only 60 percent of bloggers are white.”, and goes on to quote a Gartner research analyst: “Blogs have given those who perhaps don’t feel that their issues, thoughts or opinions are addressed in the mainstream media, an outlet to express themselves in some way.”. That’s funny, because one of the reasons I’m blogging about this very same article is that as a Filipino blogger, but still a blogger, I feel my opinion was not expressed as well. Therefore, this is a blogpost about a blog article about bloggers who are excluded from mainstream media by a blogger who has been excluded from mainstream media! Kewl!

Sony DSC-W50 Cybershot Writeup Out
My review of the Sony DSC-W50 is out today, link here. It was a very fun camera, easy to use and fire away at things. I found its best use is for parties, at the mall, or in other words, indoors and in low light. (more…)

Serves me right.
Just when I make a post saying how I can ‘post all day everyday’, my PC went bonkers, and I was offline.
The culprit. The processor fan went all emo on me, and it’d stop every so often with a dramatic, ugly sound.
