I thought this was funny and harmless - it was clearly meant as good humor amongst all the MW angst. You could still worship a company/platform AND recognize their blatant downfalls. I don't think it's about people getting what 'they' want. It'…

Actually, that's not true for all. Many PC makers have easy access towers. Most of them just pop open with a button and you never need any kind of tool to upgrade. Dell for instance has the clam shell design on all their desktops. You do not…

I was never one for that shiny plastic-everywhere look. On this case, there are way too many lines and the curves are unnatural. I certainly wouldn't buy it. I mean there are better designed PCs out there if you don't want to build your own. …

Yeah, he should have pissed on the building too. Those mean Microsoft people.

If I am not mistaken: When you purchase a new computer with XP already on it, you can upgrade and re-install and reformat hundreds of times without having to activate it. The copy of XP that you get with a new computer (which is a 100% full copy…

How many people would switch platforms and buy a Mac simply because of an MP3 player? Why would they? I don't think the numbers would be that high. Since the iPod is overpriced, a Windows compatible version could make Apple more money than possib…

I am laughing hysterically at the biased and downright inaccurate 'Cons' pointed at the PC versus the Mac! NO, WinXP generally does NOT crash or have programs that crash. XP is NOT generally harder to use or to learn. XP is NOT device hell and is…

My Mac: My PC: I don't know what the hell I did, but the .jpg conversion for these images suck! So, where are you guys getting your transparent docks from? They look great - gotta have that! Is it a hack, or an app? Does is hog resourc…

I never understood this whole leaving your computer on thing. Why? There is a shareware app to run that maintenance once a week on OS X. I certainly don't leave my TV or any other machine running when I am not home - so why the computer? Do you …

There's nothing to laugh at iJosbo235 (except for this post, which blatantly displays your envy and loath for Intel simply due to Apple's current dated offerings). The P4M has a new architecture and instructions (I am not a chip expert, so …

Actually, I just looked at the site and now I am not sure about the chipset. I know that the proper mobile P4 is not up to 2.4GHz yet, so I am not sure how they managed this one. I am impressed with these following specs the most: Intel® Pentiu…

AlienWare is using the current desktop 2.4GHz Northwood in that particular system. They are marketing it as the ultimate gaming machine - on the go. Intel is not crazy about PC manufacturers using their desktop chips in notebooks, but they are all…

You have got to be kidding me. A rip-off? My god! The pot, the kettle, the blackness! I love Apple's products, but I also realize that they are unjustly overpriced at the moment. Granted AlienWare is expensive, but it is more justifi…

I hear ya. But I think the DoJ should just MAKE PC Makers bundle the other programs so the user has a choice - not strip the MS products from it's OS. I agree that's where MS is wrong. By cornering PC Makers into not allowing the other programs b…
