Semi-Random Youtube Vid

If any of you are even vaguely interested in American Warfare history, you will absolutely love Food Fight. Whichever genius decided to re-enact world History with Burgers and Kebabs deserves to be knighted.
There's a cheat sheet, that tells you what foods are what countries but that ruins the fun.



Food Fight

This is just classic.

P.S. For those of you using Firefox (you bloody well better be!), should consider downloading the extension "Better YouTube", it gives you some great stuff like a "Download this video" link which has unfortunately been blocked by the school, and the Holy Grail of youTube surfing : FlowPlayer. I swear it should be standard on YouTube, (but without the full-screen watermark).

Windows 7

There aren't many great things about Windows 7 as far as I can see, mostly because all the great things are just the same great things from Vista. We're up to Milestone 3 and it still looks like Vista and it doesn't even have the Microsoft customary icon freshen-ups. But there is only one thing that excites me, and that's that they've fixed the major problem of Vista needing an über-computer just to run in anything resembling smoothness. However, there are now screenshots of Win7 running on a mid-spec Pentium 3 machine. hooray!

One problem though, seeing as Vista required such impressive machine specs, and by the time that Win7 arrives, there won't be that many XP users around anymore, so we'll all have already upgraded so we'll be running Windows 7 on über-computers, even though we don't need them...

Did i hear too little, too late?

here are the Screenshots

Problems with following this blog

It's fixed!
(Makes you feel so much better when you say that!)

Now it is possible to follow this (great, if i don't say so myself) blog without it returning an "ERROR 400"
Turns out the problem was with the Blog Title, you may notice that it now reads _-_-_-Ferret_-_-_-_Tech-_-_-_, rather than the old (and arguably better) Ferret ||| Tech. The problem lay in the URL Arguments in the link. It won't accept anything except English letters and spaces.
Turns out the same problem happens if you have a blog title partially in Chinese, or Icelandic. Wonderful! Totally needed to know that. I was going to put my title in Icelandic characters. Won't do that ...

Anyway, you can now click Follow this Blog and show your unbridled love and affection for Yours truly, the BlogMaster of the Universe.

Okay, the love and affection is optional, especially if you're a male...

Bear with me here...

Hello faithful,
I just thought i would indulge in some self-promotion and put in some links for my other 2 blogs:
Firstly, there's a Ferret's View on the US of A, my commentary on the upcoming US Presidential Election (yay, only 91 days of George Bush left)
Then there's ferretloads of crazy my general blog on cynicism and rants.

There we go, self-promotion session ended

New Macbook Displays...

Has anyone seen the new Macbook Range? Not only are the laptops themselves incredibly good-looking and look pretty fast, at least on paper. But of slightly more interest are the new accessories, in particular, the new LED Cinema Displays. LED?? I don't know, it could be LCD's but i somehow think Apple would have run it through for spelling errors, and it appears multiple times over the page. Everyone is very confused, but i honestly couldn't care less about the acronyms, it's a semi-HD display made for a MacBook, and for god's sake it's 24 Inches! Hello, how can you not love a screen that's f***ing huge and still looks awesome. Apple has cemented their reputation for sweet hardware...

Better than that useless HP crap. There is only one thing that;s useful for, and that's flushing down the toilet...
