Hater Pants!

I stole that title from The Totally Rad Show but it fits my recent posts very well. I have been on the verge of Microsoft bashing with my last few posts when there are many things that they do well. One of my personal favorites is the Xbox 360 and Halo 3. Recently Bungie (the makers of Halo 1,2 and 3) has separated from Microsoft but this is close enough. Bungie has a podcast and to keep this short have an "NFL Minute" segment where they all argue for their teams. Recently the Seahawks beat the 49ers (click here to read more on the game at Jason's blog) and one of the Bungie guys contacted some of the players on the 49ers to have them over to the Bungie studios in Kirkland Washington to play some of the new maps they are getting ready to release. The story cracked me up and the picture of them with the players is hilarious. How much more opposite can you get than computer programers and football players?

Ask Not What Vista Can Do For You! Ask What You Can Buy For Vista!

Here are some funny videos for you. The first is a hilarious new video that touches on a topic from my last post.

This made me laugh out loud and is great timing with the new Guitar Hero III release. It is Cowbell Hero!

She Stole My Heart and My Cat...

Now I know that some of our readers here are faithful Microsoft fans, but over the recent years my loyalty to the Redmond giant has dwindled some. Don't get me wrong they get some things right, (don't forget I'm a huge Halo and Xbox 360 fan) but when it comes to operating systems I think it is only logical who is better at this point. I stood in line at the Bridgeport Village Apple store to get my copy Leopard (apple's new operating system) and have loved every minute of it since I upgraded. I won't get into all the new features here for fear of scaring you all away, but one thing I will say is that it is much faster. How many times have you upgraded your computer operating system on a 3 year old computer and had it run faster without upgrading hardware? I have never had that be the case in my short computer nerd history. 

 For all those that are Microsoft fans I do have a desktop that I upgraded to Windows Vista. I can't say I have any complaints about it at this point, but I do miss my iLife applications while using it. I installed the 64 bit version on a fairly up to date computer though and so far it seems to be running very well. I wouldn't say it runs any faster though and most of

 my friends that have it either complain about it or have downgraded back to windows XP. Over all though I'm happy with it for my windows desktop.

  All this to say I'm a happy Apple fan and user. Who would have thought that 5 years ago? For now I'm thrilled with my iPhone and Leopard!
