All those USB popcorn makers, heat pads, drink coolers and coffee machines pale in comparison to the i.Saw. This would easily be the USB product of the year…if it were real. Thanks to everyone that sent this one in.


Really, Windows 7

Do You Know What Cyberpunk Means, Punk?

Do You Know What Cyberpunk Means, Punk?

============================




Link: http://www.macworld.com/article/141500/2009/07/neuromancer_25.html

============================

Neuromancer WIKI

Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromancer

============================


============================


History: July 1. 1984, 25 years ago, Wlliam Gibson wrote a book called

Neuromancer that ran the table at the 1984 Science Fiction Awards

and Won the HUGO Award, the Phillip K. Dick Award and the Nebula Award.


The Book and the Awards said Gibson Created a new genre of Science Fiction

called: CyberPunk.


Gibson does NOT particularly like that phrase, but hey it's a good

tag-line that
doesn't fit anybody better.

And while Gibson's modern prose is anchored
in Present Time his

depiction of cutting edge Technology and Hackers (Good and Bad) is still
razor sharp.


Check him out

He IS a Must Read.

============================

And in deference of the Terminator Picture I used above,

take this to chew on...




============================

Wingman

And Yeah, I know Terminator Was based on Harlan Ellison's Ideas...

=====================

I also found a Cool Clip at YouTube (a great resource, by the way) where in 2006.

Harlan was giving out the Hugo Award for Best Short Story and

still being Harlan at the podium.

Goodbye Ubuntu, I Hardily Knew You.....



Dumped Ubuntu 9.04







and went

Back to Fedora 11


Problems with Firefox 3.x and my massive List of Bookmarks forced the Issue.

Using the same Password for my user and root accounts seemed counter-productive.

After the Big switch via a "Live" CD of Fedora 11, I'm still tweaking the system to my taste. And will be fully installed to the Hard drive when I clean up a backup 160GB hard drive.

Wingman, back home (fedora).

Postnote:

It seems the New iPhone 3Gs is "Hot".... Too "Hot" for some. Apple is Checking that out...

And Dell will be offering a HTC (Google OS) Smart Web Browser Real-Soon-

Now....

Isn't that Smart?
