Dell constantly impress me. This picture demonstrates the longevity of Dell Computers. Even if this Dell Dimension 4100 (grey-tower under the desk) is over 4 years old and has been relegated to the teenagers bedroom, you can still download drivers and BIOS updates using its steady ever-reliable Service Tag.

Can you say that of any other manufacturer?

That’s another two good reasons to love Dell (and toffee apples and cute girls sticking their tongues out).

Being slightly involved with IT, friends and family always come asking for advice and recommendations for the best-buy or the most appropriate piece of kit. Of course a daunting task considering the monthly or weekly release of new equipment.

Still worse, the slightest glitch (usually theirs, self-inflicted) automatically becomes my fault. Can’t win really.

All you can do is throw some options on the table, refuse to answer “What would you buy” and (only then) let them make the decision.

If money were no object, this would be a cool purchase! Via BornRich they detail this uber-cool HP Firebird 803. A king amongst gaming rigs. Look at this spec!

• Intel Core 2 Quad CPI
• Twin NVIDIA GeForce 9800S
• 320Gb Hard Drives and …
• LIQUID COOLING

All that was great news until you get the price tag of about $2,100.00. Still nice to dream.

Wall Street Fighter reports on the demise of those loopy New Year Glasses. Obviously they won't work for 2010! 2090 Maybe.

Honest. I bought the family one. Never again.

What do you think? Great for those Winter evenings? Via.

Shall I get English Girl one?

Maxi Cane found these, and contributes an excellent diatribe against their introduction!

MSFW fans prefer the ones on the left.

Born Rich are leading the economic recovery recommending the following diamond studded device. This is callled the "little-steel-tonight" (buy here) they claim more durable, silent and ... waterproof. It is also endorsed by Dave Stewart's (Eurythmics) song "Let's do it again".
