Wow, this MIT laptop for the worlds poor children is designed really beautifully. It’s only 100 bucks of material, but it does the basics. Goes to show how bad we’re all getting ripped off for our Dells and Apples and HP’s or whatever hunk of junk we purchase. Of course Google is involved with this [...]

WoW! World Of Warcraft sounds really engrossing:
So what? Well, it’s cool. There are only a few people who are able to create these things so you rarely see ninjas or pirates running around. When I board the boat to sail to another continent or am in a group raiding a dungeon, I often transform into [...]
