Geek Eye for the Average Guy

Yxes writes "Fortune designed an experiment: give three geeks US$15,000 and three days to bring a family of four up to date with technology. The average family doesn't know which DVD player to buy or how to setup a wireless network. What happens when even the geeks can't get it to work?"

    what about a large tv, so that that woman sans clothing actually looks lifesize (good thing she doesn't tell you what to do, like a real woman does).

    are you a fucking retard?

    It's goal was to "update and bring the family's electronics and computing to now" and fifteen grand is NOT going to do it.

    this is the problem the "PR stunt" had some idiots from circuit city do stupid things and make stupid decisions... that el-cheapo Apex dvd player is a fine device, I know of many in service for a long time period.

    as for the high end, yes my high end will beat the ever living shit out of your crap any day. you dont have a TV that can show you the difference. if you are going for high end then go for it, otherwise it's pure stupidity to buy anything but the low end (that can do more than your crap)

    you are a fucking idiot and have xero clue let alone any damned education.

    shut the hell up or put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger as we all are better off without your idiotic rants...
