do you remember 'candyflip - madstock'? (cds available on ebay and amazon.co.uk), well anyway, 'air - walkie talkie' (for £7) sound a lot like them.
Apple - PowerBook G4 - new apple powerbooks, G4 up to 1.67ghz, 512mb memory standard, and 8x dvd burning as standard. (from £1049 inc vat)

other film reviews: meet the fockers. funny feel good film. (sequel to meet the parents). collateral - very good action/thriller tom cruise plays bad guy, really worth watching.

filums

Envy (2004) it's fairly poor. if it's free then you could watch it. but if not then you could choose a better film to watch.
American Splendor (2003) okay, if you like true stories, it's not really a comedy, maybe a dark comedy, you might like it, but I think they could have fast forwarded some bits of it and I would have been happier if they did.

shop pony

hello. So these people were like shopping at their local tescos, when they hear a noise behind them. They look round.. Its a pony. After a couple of seconds of stunned silence, everyone carries on shopping, and the pony leaves. pony
I wonder if that would be the reaction if it were a big wildebeest
.. 'well you don't normally see them round here' ..
.. 'maybe it's a special promotion.'

internet users are stupid* says research.

internet users are stupid* says research.

geek.com report that research indicates that internet users using search engines aren't very clever, as only 38% are able to figure out what is paid results/advertising and what isn't. There are some interesting comments that attempt to sum things up nicely, here's one: 'Alot of americans are freaking idiots.', and another 'I never ate a MacDonalds in my life.'

* replace with your own less politically correct version in your head if you so wish for a more exciting story.

BBC News: "The US military is planning to deploy robots armed with machine-guns to wage war against insurgents in Iraq." ... "Mr Quinn says there are plans to replace the computer screen, joysticks and keypad in the remote-control unit with a Gameboy-style controller and virtual-reality goggles."

ok... is anybody else concerned that the gameboy controller may get into the wrong hands, ie. kids? or is anybody else concerned that we're about to have a Robocop / Terminator type situation on our hands coming to a street near you? (that is if you're in Iraq)

Alternative Email Clients

Does anybody use an alternative email client on the PC? Eg Thunderbird, etc? And do they work with Hotmail, the way that outlook express works with hotmail (er, no, not without additional apps), and do any of them have a built in calendar? (er, nope, they're still working on it - doh!)

Other handy functions | KONICA MINOLTA


Konica Minolta have released 2 new digital cameras today, and this is one of their pics on their website. (Which I thought was very funny so I thought I'd share it here). Looks like quite a neat camera, and could be much improved on the Z3 - as it's got a bigger screen, and more megapixels, plus they might have made other internal improvements that make the pictures better.
