The watercooling isn't anything special and you can get a similar corsair watercooling system for less than $70. #maingear

This is the modern-day equivalent of going to your parents and asking for a pony and getting a rocking horse. They'll jokingly consider it until they see how much it really costs and after picking their jaws up off the floor go get a PC-in-a-box from best buy.
Impressive? Yes. Cost effective? Not so much. #maingear

Only a liberal would buy a car built by UAW workers. Bust a union - buy a Toyota. #xbox

First of all, for the record, my comment wasn't one of my trademark trollmines.
It was a facetious jab at the notion that cars like the Toyota Prius* are in line with the majority of the liberal agenda.
I say the Prius because it is notoriously a "statement" car. Sure, it's SULEV, but it is also a major donor to the GOP because of its staunch anti-union stance. The Toyota, Honda, and Nissan plants in Kentucky, Alabama, and Mississippi are the reason that the Senators of those States were so firmly against bailing out GM.
I also say this on the heels of last night's "Daily Show" which featured a segment on this kind of product identification. It's kind of silly to boycott a company because its CEO writes an Op-Ed out of line with your liberal views and then buy a car from a company whose corporate practices are even farther out of line.
Welcome to the Internet. You need to settle the fuck down and realize that sometimes, people say facetious things on blogs. How you have managed to live in America in the 21st Century and still not comprehend the notion of "sarcasm" is fucking inconceivable.
*Fair disclosure: I drive a Honda Insight. I drive it because it was free. I do like some of the features in the new Ford models but I like that my car gets 50+ mpg with 78k miles more. #xbox

And how about those American workers. If some of my coworkers are to be used as any indicator then I'd say they're lazy, incompetent sacks of shit who care more about collecting a paycheck then actually doing their job the correct way. And what of the unions? Cars were manufactured long before unions came around and I suspect if the UAW was disbanded tomorrow, we'd still be building cars. Unions are also one of the factors in why car prices are what they are today.
I got a new car once. It was a Ford and it was a piece of shit so sorry, but the whole Buy American thing doesn't really carry as much weight with me anymore.
"unless you idiots start buying ford or GM you will see millions of jobs lost!"
BTW statements like that aren't going to win people over either... #xbox

Is Apple going with something grown in-house or another, updated Symbol product? The article is a bit confusing in the phrasing - admittedly, I also don't know if EasyPay is an in-store reference to the general system of paying without a register or a Symbol brand. #xbox

As a sidenote, Apple "geniuses" have typically been some of the most frustratingly computer-illiterate yet-pretentious ignoramuses that it's ever been my immense displeasure to have the extreme dishonor of conversing with for any protracted length of time. I'm not sure exactly what it is they are certified "geniuses" in, but evidently it has little to do with computers, the internet, or things that human beings do. #xbox

Well, depends on where you go for the geniuses. I went in with one of my friends to the Genius Bar and the guy was all "hurr de hurr, try adding more RAM" and couldn't give an answer for why she was having problems. I could have told her that. On the other hand I have heard of other Geniuses busting out their Linux skills and doing -sudo whatever and fixing stuff on the computer. I'm considering getting a Mac for my next computer for the build quality, but despise the stores and the attitude of the pretentious Mac users (read hipsters). Then again, I hear Lenovo is phenomenal, so we will see. #xbox

Anyway, as the sole member of the IT department for my company, I pick and choose through software and hardware usable for the shop. Last year I was choosing POS systems and as an Apple user myself, I have to say that you really have to WANT to use an Apple for a POS computer - not a lot of great software - at least at the time I researched this. I wonder if the POS software for the Touch is available for purchase. #xbox

Microsoft should focus less on cramming more stuff on a DVD and more about making every game available via e-distribution, then the only limitation could be HD space, and running out of that is SO year 2000.

I'm an avid Apple fan; owning multiple apple computers, and every iPhone thus far, but I think Microsoft is making huge strides to catch up, and build quality products and services.
I can't wait to be able to get out of Apple's grasp and Steve Job's douschebaggery with different products I would enjoy just as much, if not more. #steveballmer
