Rumors have it that the design will be another all-in-one, with the guts of it sitting behind an LCD monitor, so that the base doesn't need to take up much desk space. Perhaps the base is removable so that it can be hung on a wall, like another poster said. It will likely also be made of metal, to match the G5 and new displays.
Some gamers like to shout when playing, and that is enough to start a fight between gamers. I heard once from a friend that there was a kid who was very good at playing but yells everytime he frags other people. Then one day a gang was playing against him and was losing to him and was annoyed by him yelling "loser" or something. Then BAM! They shot him to dead.
It's $25 for a system with one controller where I live. (Check out Rhino Video Games.) I've got 4 controllers and 4 VMUs.
I've checked out the DC homebrew scene, but had never seen anything about Alice Dreams before. It looks great! I'll definitely have to check that one out.
why are you running KDE on a K6? XP would bring that box to its knees too.
This is basically my sister's computer. She uses it for email, internet, and word processing. Windows XP (with the services/theming turned off she doesn't need) is plenty quick enough. It does get slow during disk-intensive activities, but that's the fault of the slow harddisk inside, not XP.
We actually had a second powerpad game in my house when I was a kid; it was called "Dance Aerobics". My Dad bought it with the idea that it could help get my Mom a little more into games, and also more into shape at the same time (not the greatest of ideas on his part). The game itself was pretty lousy, but it had a little minigame wherein each of the pad's contact points made a different musical note when stepped upon, and you could either make up your own tunes, or challenge the computer by keeping up with its melodies. In retrospect, this seems a lot like DDR; it was much more fun than the primary game.
Yes, of course, Intel got those sales figures and started shaking in their boots, leading them to drastically shift their business plans on a moment's notice.
Realistically, long-term strategies are in the pipeline for months before they're ever announced to the public. Intel surely had several different plans, and decided that this one was more future-proof than the previous one. I doubt that a one-week trend had anything to do with their decision.

The best, most comfortable mouse I have ever owned was a Logitech Mouseman Wheel. It's secret is twofold: first, it slopes very much downward to the right, following the natural shape of your hand. Second, it's very long. Check some pictures here and here, and a review here. I unfortunately had to give up my original wired ball model, since I need cordless capability. Logitech made a wired ball version, a wireless ball version, and a wired optical version... but never followed it up with a wireless optical version, opting instead for more "stylish" mice which are much shittier. (They did technically make a wireless optical version, but in trackball form: if you look at this, it has the great ergonomic shape, but with a trackball grafted to the side.)
I look on eBay all the time to try to pick one up, but always end up getting outbid... these mice are highly desirable. I suppose one day I'll save up and just bid $100 for the cordless one, they are that good.
I didn't look at the QuickPad, but the Dana can run on 3 AA batteries. Powerbooks do have good battery life, but with those extra 2 lbs. you were talking about, many more hours of battery life can be carried along.

And that's what I call Real Ultimate Power.
Since you mentioned CompUSA...

The soluion to that problem is to put a sufficiently large capacitor in parallel with the voltage source.

Or leave your computer on at night and save money on the fan.

Isn't destruction of subpoenad evidence a crime?
Red glowing lights?
Open the pod bay doors, Hal.
Memory is fairly cheap these days; why doesn't a manufacturer slap 32 or 64MB on there?
Micheal Moore debunks these claims on his website.
Grrr, I wish people would stop perpetuating untrue myths. The famous Iwo Jima picture was not staged. Read about it yourself.

I believe it means that the graphics has 64MB by default, and can grab system memory on the fly to go up to 128MB if it thinks it needs to.

...there is no central committee that says what English can and cannot 'do'.
The Modern Language Association comes pretty close.

The Megaman series, especially 2, and Megaman X series. They took up so many hours in my childhood...

I find it interesting that someone modded you interesting.
