Hey John,
What’s that sound in the back ground? A fish tank?
-F
It is funny how mac users think that their machines are indestructible. the reason that they do not get viruses is that the number of apple computers is not enough to be profitable. I also have to say that I think the ratio of computer-dumb asses to computer savvy people is much lower on macs than on windows computers.
I like the idea of doing a daily 5 minute podcast, I could handle 5 minutes a day on a regular basis. Thanks for the idea. Gonna do me a podcast. 5 minutes a day!
Yeah, I listen to the podcast everyday and that background noise is really odd. Is it a fish tank or what?
Also, Asus isn’t just some small motherboard manufacturer! Asus is a pretty large OEM (they even make some Macbooks) and they have their own line of Asus-branded laptops — in addition to manufacturing motherboards.
Regarding the Eee PC, two things: (1) is it pronounced “E-E-E” PC, or is it pronounced “Eeeee” PC, and (2) I think it sounds really neat. If I can see/use one in person and it’s half as good as the reviews for it, then I’m inclined to buy one and leave my bulky (5.5 lb +) laptop at home and use the Eee PC for the road.
The keyboarding concerns are the only thing, but apparently they could have fit an 11″ widescreen in case, so will it really be worse than other ultraportables?
Other than that, it weighs only 2.03 lbs and has a tiny cellphone-charger-sized AC adapter, so I’m sold!
Malware on the Mac. Maybe this will shut up some of the Mac fanboys now.
#2, #6 – Just because you can’t afford a Mac is no reason to get pissy.
(Note: I have no clue if you can or can’t, but its fun to mock people that can’t make any original anti-Mac posts.)
#1, #5 – JCD covered the “fish tank” noise in a previous podcast.
Oh yeah, that new Leopard Mac OS is such a great deal — not.
Looks like Jobs is starting to think like Gates (or Apple doesn’t care about computers anymore, they’ve got the iPhone, iPod, iSore etc.)
