Man Sells Baby to Pay for Gadgets

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the dead-batteries-instead-of-dirty-diapers dept.

nzgeek writes "This guy seems to have a serious gadget addiction: 'we're selling our son for $30k. There's nothing sinister about this, he's not going into child slavery or anything, Randy and Linda just really liked his demeanor, and they're keen on a Kiwi kid because they're usually so healthy. I hear $30 grand is really good value these days. So help me out: what would be a good swag of gadgets to get hold of for US$30,000?' " This one definitely raises a lot of important questions. $30k is a lot of gadgets, so you must choose wisely!

  2. A POWERbook? No such thing by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    If a POWERbook is named to imply it is a powerful computer, I'd point out that the only computer slower than a POWERbook is a Mac mini.

    If a POWERbook is getting a good ass-kicking from an iMac, then calling it a POWERbook is a bit of a joke. And if it had really great battery life, then you could at least say "Well, that G4 chip may be slow, but hey, the battery lasts a long time". But it doesn't. You're lucky to get 2 hours 20 minutes from the battery. Meanwhile a cheapass HP laptop is getting 4-5 hours of battery life.

    Please spare us all the "Well, its fast enough for me" comments. Or "I routinely get 6 hours from my powerbook". Its embarassing that you have to cover for Apple like that.
