Pretty good for a straight (cough, cough) boy.
Cybernet, a company that puts the guts of PCs into the body of a keyboard, recently announced that they had obtained the right to use the Commodore branding on their computers. This was undoubtedly a smart move on their part since their PCs haven’t been very popular, but by attaching the Commodore brand to their PCS, they are associating their PCs with a legacy. Anyway, they already have rebranded one of their PCs as the Commodore Phoenix. But that isn’t the one that we’re particularly excited about. Their upcoming Commodore Invictus is a PC packed into the guts of a super slim keyboard that packs in an Atom processor along with a touch screen display, wireless HDMI, chicklet-style keys, the Nvidia ION chipset, and a 5 hour battery life. If the concept here is familiar, that is because it’s very similar to the Asus EEE PC Keyboard. Unfortunately there is no word on pricing or availability yet for the Commodore Invictus.

Amen, brother. I’m more than willing to buy my music through legitimate channels, but I can’t tell you how often I’ve gone to find something and it’s not available. Yet, a simple web search turns up dozens of music sites where it’s there for the taking. Admittedly, I’m going after pretty obscure dance tracks from the 70s and 80s, but still…if you aren’t going to make it available for purchase, stop whining when it shows up through illegitimate sources.
BP has killed the gulf. And now Obama is supposedly considering the nuclear option. Maybe those 2012 folks were right after all.
Now that Flash Forward has come to an end (and unlike most canceled shows managed to tie up almost all the loose ends in a very satisfying way), I’m really going to miss seeing hottie Zach Knighton on a weekly basis.
At least (spoiler alert, highlight to read) his character met the girl he saw in his flash forward…
I hope to write a bit more about the show at some point, because it really raised some intriguing questions about destiny vs. free will.
