Is Cheap the New Cool?

without comments

You tell me…Given these economic times…it’s probably cooler to work at McDonald’s vs. AIG.  I’ve enjoyed building “white boxes” because I can pick and choose components etc., but that not an option for a notebook.  You make the call do you believe the premium is worth it?

“We Have Water…”

without comments

I think this is pretty pretty pretty darn cool…Water on Mars…I remember being in Kindergarten and having Ms.’ Steinberg bring in the TV to watch the moon landing.  I guess we’ll have to take this milestone on the web. Here’s a snippet from the NASA site:

“We have water,” said William Boynton of the University of Arizona, lead scientist for the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer, or TEGA. “We’ve seen evidence for this water ice before in observations by the Mars Odyssey orbiter and in disappearing chunks observed by Phoenix last month, but this is the first time Martian water has been touched and tasted.”

Here’s the link back to the story:
