To Mac, or Not To Mac…
That’s the question. Yep, I’m well into the Summer break, which means it’s time for me to start on projects that have been postponed due to school and whatnot. I’ve been learning Ruby on Rails, which is a really cool framework for building web applications. Okay, so I bet that last sentence made about 0 sense to many of you…
Anyway, as someone who is developing stuff for the internets, I should probably see how things are rendered in different browsers. Not everyone uses firefox, though they should (even if it eats all of your memory). Since the new Macbooks came out, I’ve sorta wanted to get one, but it seems there’s still some issues. List time!
Pros:
- Runs Mac OSX
- Runs Windows XP
- Runs Ubuntu Linux
- Is fairly cool
Cons:
Now, the Macbook has only been out for like, a week, and all these issues have been brought up? I could probably wait a little bit until they resolve all (or at least most) of these.
I checked the student discount I get from UNM. Normal price is $1100, student price is $1070… Amazon.com has the Macbook for $1100 – $100 and no tax, so I’d probably get it there. I was gonna get a mac mini, but those cost $800 anyway, so I might as well get the laptop, right? Vote in the new poll: Mac? and let me know your opinion.

Firefox – Take Back The Web; Give Us Your RAM!
Seriously, I like Firefox and all, but it’s a total RAMaholic! For your information, I’m browing with one window, five tabs. It’s been on for a while, sure, but 375MB!?
Maybe this is fixed in the new cool 2.0 alpha release… Should I install it?

Yet More Cool Stuff From Japan!
So my brother recently came back from a trip to Japan, and he brought back some stuff for me! Here’s an inventory of the random junk I got:
Dr. Clinic Gum
So the only reason he bought this gum was the weird name. I guess it’ll fix my breath or something. It has a picture of a tooth under an umbrella…

DS Lite Gets US Date, Price
So yeah, the US is getting the DS Lite on June 11th for a whopping $130! Oh, wait, that’s how much a normal DS costs now. Good job to Nintendo for not screwing us on the upgrade.
After upgrading my Gameboy Advance to an SP, there was no way I was gonna buy a Micro while the DS was out! It’s nice to see that Nintendo cut the shenanigans. Unfortunately, it’s only coming in iPod white, so I’ll have to wait, lest they release a lime green one.
That’s my rule: if Nintendo releases a lime green X, I will buy the X. Heed those words, Nintendo, heed them wisely.

The Super Soaker Oozinator…
I remember when I was a kid, I could not get enough Super Soaker action. I wanted the one where it was just backpack of pure water (which probably left most kids over encumbered)! Enter the Super Soaker Oozinator! Here’s a highly suggestive commercial for it:
Unbeknownst to many, the Super Soaker Oozinator has already been well tested in the adult film industry. That’s right, the Super Soaker Oozinator produces money shots. As an added bonus the guy even says “major pumping required” at the end of the commercial. Major pumping, indeed…
When I saw this, I thought it was a joke! But apparently it’s for sale on Amazon.com. Weird.
