This is pretty sweet, dont know if anybodys seen this yet:
It's kind of like the mini-short for that MGS fan video but WAY better acting and filming
And it was made with around $200

It seems useless.. especially if all you can really do with it is browse the web, use it as an e-reader, and watch some videos.. at least for $500 it does not seem worth it at all.

I paid $579 for an Asus U81 14" Laptop... Core2Duo T6500, 4GB ram, 320GB HD, Win 7 64-bit, WLED display.....and it's even faster than my desktop....why should anyone pay $500 for a 16gb near-useless device... :(

I think Apple's just doing whatever they can to hit the cheaper-market segment and put a dent into the netbook buyer market...I just dont even see this competing at the least with an ION netbook though... IMO this was a stupid idea on Apple's part...

I think I'll be buying an ION netbook over this garbage.

Like most problems that occur with new builds, it's probably the motherboard bios that needs to be updated by flashing.

http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/HowToReflashBIOS.aspx

I'm not sure if you can even flash the bios if it won't POST though...

if you can't do this because your computer won't boot.... use your friends core 2 duo processor.. install windows on the HDD and update the bios through windows.. then it should recognize your Quad core just fine...

Anybody remember that fan movie trailer we saw a while ago??
Apparently the whole movie is done now, and it's been released in H264 and XVID.

As well as online streaming..

(dont know if this has been posted already or not, I already tried the gamingw search feature)

**EDIT: man... the acting is so poor, and the lines are really really bad.
At least some of the action parts are okay..

So, I just installed Linux Mint 7 "Gloria" Gnome Last night, and am using it as my main os at this time..
I installed VLC... that's about it.. I'm also having a problem playing stage6 videos that stream in totem, mplayer and vlc... they just don't want to work.
What are some good applications for Media, and etc...?

By the way, Linux Mint is based off of ubuntu..

Get the macbook. The only reason you'd need the pro is the bigger screen, firewire, or a slightly better video card. You don't sound like you need any of that so save the extra couple hundred.

Stick with the aluminum models though cuz the white plastic ones aren't that rugged and can get dirty if you don't wash your hands every time before you use it.

Well I don't think i'll be using the firewire... external hard drives are usb 2.0 too.... and a bigger screen is nice but i dont really NEED it...

Well.. I want the pro... but if I can buy ram upgrades for the regular macbook... I don't think it would matter in application performance? maybe the processor in speed... but is that negligible with mac OSes?

So I'm off to a different uni this coming fall and I need a good laptop for college. I'm sick of windows, and I figured I'd try a mac this time around.
Which should I get? At the moment I can get the 13.3" new macbook for around $1,100 at my local computer store, and the last generation 15.4" macbook pro for $1350 @ clubmac but it's open box.....

I'm mostly going to use the laptop for writing papers, research, web design (photoshop & quarkexpress)..

so what would you recommend? (and dont tell me shit like macbook pro cuz its faster for photoshp zomg) ... thats not really important to me.

I need some good opinions on build quality, which is better tiger or leopard? as well as the best deal for my money... :fogetshrug:
and with open box does that mean I need to buy the extra cables, power cables, and stuff separately?

Hm.... so I was looking for a decent free mmo to play.... (too lazy to keep buying timecards for WoW or waste my time with it... not rewarding enough),
I'm looking for something good with a decent ranking system so I came across something that seemed interesting... Exteel.
Something of a gundam mmo? It looks like its heavily based on PvP instead of quests and shit..

http://www.exteel.com/us/

I dunno if this has been mentioned but I just came across it and wanted to see if anyone has any reviews or has played this game before and if its worth the download...

Nah... I think he means in past episodes... You could tell that Nel was going to transform or she had special abilities (skull eyes glowing on her mask?) in episodes where she had her kid body.. not that he had info beforehand

I figure the next few episodes the shinigami army will show up (the title is the shinigami army approaches lol or something like that...)
and I really want to know if the other Vaizards are possibly stronger than ichigo? considering they can hold their hollow form for more than 5 hours..
