Apple - iMac G5

Apple - iMac G5

I can't think of a practical use for it, but I've always wanted a Mac. Granted I want the normal Mac that I can take apart and put back together again. The iMac has always intrigued me a little. I got the opportunity to take apart a G4 iMac once and it was kind of cool how everything fit together. It was like I unlocked some personal mystery when I took it apart. Now I have a new mystery, the G5 iMac.

I used to carry a pocket knife all the time, but then I kinda quit because I never used it for much. This knife on the other hand I might get a little use out of.

Transparent aluminum

here is the link

I realize there are a bunch of new entries all at once in my blog, but it's been a while since anything really interesting in the nerd world has happened. This one is a few days old, but definitely bad ass. Anyone who's ever seen Star Trek IV will probably get a kick out of transparent aluminum.

This one's for John, although it doesn't prove your Episode 7, 8, and 9 theory, it's a step in the right direction.

I like this site because it doesn't even mention Netscape as an alternative web browser.

The first step, and next will come the ability to never sleep, eat, or even go to the bathroom....I just can't stand those things that waste my time.

Tweakers.net - RAID 0: Hype or blessing?

Tweakers.net - RAID 0: Hype or blessing?

This is one I'm going to have to test out on my own. I find it hard to believe RAID 0 doesn't improve performance. On the other hand I've seen many things that would improve performance in theory but don't in practice.

MSN Web Messenger

MSN Web Messenger

I know a couple of people who will get a kick out of this. No installation needed to use MSN messenger, and hands down the best web based instant messenger I've seen yet. Although I have to admit I haven't played with AIM and Yahoo's versions of their web based messenger in a long time.

So maybe my blog is slowly turning from computer nerd to marine biology nerd, but it gives me so many brownie points.

Blu-ray technology seems kinda cool, I'm glad they found a practical application for it, but I wonder what load times would be like on a 50GB game.
