Amazon Price FAIL

So I was cruising around price checking a swiss army knife.

After that, I ran across Amazon.com's page for it (here).

Type A/B Personality

I was kinda curious as I've heard the term (jokingly) thrown around lately. I do know what does constitute as a Type A/B personality (for those of you that aren't that familiar here's some Wikipedia). I think for most of my life, I DEFINITELY was a Type B (to a fault - coz I became lazy hahaha!). Though after my second half of college (when I returned "home" to the US), I gained some Type A traits (driven, ultra competitive) while retaining most of the Type B traits (laid back, very "chill" and focused on important things in life).

To be sure I ran across a quiz on Discovery Health. I'm not one to really take quizzes (like which fruit are you or any of those stupid things - Type A!!!). But I figured this would be nice to see.

Fairly interesting. Does kinda describe me spot on... :D

For those who want to try the test --> here

Lemme know what you guys end up as being. :)

X-Play Comedy Presents SessCrush: The GameCrush Parody

Awesome parody of a gaming "escort" service a while back. Hit full screen since the ratio seems to be busted on blogger's super narrow space...

Here's an article about said "escort" service (here). CAUTION. Link is potentially NSFW due to some revealing shots (which should have been a crime coz OMG). The "important" parts remained covered though (though most should have stayed fully covered).

Patch Tuesday - March 2010 Edition

Hi dear readers,

Yesterday was the second Tuesday of March 2010. You guys know what that means. Patch Tuesday! YAY!

Here is the public service reminder.

Please update your computers (Start --> All Programs --> Windows Update). Or for those of you with Auto Update you should 1) get a prompt/reminder to update or 2) Your PC would have restarted overnight (for my fellow readers who run their rigs 24/7 - like me!).

Linky on update/patchl list here.

Practice safe computing everyone!

First NewEgg poke by a competitor

A few days ago, popular tech site HardOCP posted an article that showcased an issue where a forum member received a "fake" Intel Core i7 920 processor (same one I have here).

Obviously this really set a media firestorm due to perhaps some (possible) quick conclusions\confusion that eventually led to some ceast and desist orders (which are now understandable - since most of the facts have been brought to light).

NewEgg (as expected) has stepped up and seems to have done their very best to both fix things with their customers (aka they didn't pull a Toyota), and it seems is cooperating with an investigation (and termination) of its (former) supplier.

All's well ends well right?

Well you know it's all good when your competitors have a little fun at your expense.

Wanted to share what I got in my email inbox today... ;)

SuperBiiz is a pretty good site (I've bought my hdds and a few graphics cards from them - they usually have killer deals on GPUs!). It is awesome that the industry knows how to have fun. Though let's just hope that another company won't get a new egg in the face (Duh Dum Dish!). :)

Facebook addition?

Not too bad. Sheesh could they have made it any bigger...

I just bought a domain

YAY!

I'll redirect the new address later... Waiting for the DNS to refresh.

I'll also start posting a bit more (at least for a while... ;) ).
