in december, i ordered a shiny new applemacbook for work. i went for the 13″ 2.2 ghz model (small size is important to me) and wanted to outfit it a little better than it comes stock. specifically, i wanted the 250gb hard drive and some additional ram.
i don’t remember the exact price at this moment, but to upgrade the macbook from the standard 1gb of ram to 4gb was going to add over $700 to the cost. since i was also about to place a huge order for pc ram (for work), i checked the pricing from our preferred ram vendor, silicon mountain memory. for 4gb of ram for the macbook, the standard price was right about $130. because of the huge order of ram that i was placing, i actually got it for just over $100 (bulk discounts ftw!).
to have ordered the same thing from apple would have been a huge waste of money.
note: i’m not affiliated with silicon mountain memory other than as a happy customer.
this squid on a sportbike gets exactly what he deserves.
first, he doesn’t appear to be anywhere near “qualified” to be attempting something like this. second, and more importantly, pay attention to all the safety gear he’s wearing. i guess i should commend him for at least wearing a helmet.
i should mention that i ride bikes. i’m not always the safest person when i’m on one (in particular, i don’t always wear my safety equipment), even after two accidents — neither of which was my fault.
but this guy, geez, i wonder if he was trying to nominate himself for a darwin award.

i guess that means it’s also against their terms of use to subscribe to their rss feed as well.
i suppose that launching firefox and entering the url to businessweek would constitute a “manual process” which, therefore, means that even reading their web site is now a violation!

i’ve mentioned before that i don’t like him because of his fearmongering tactics and this just gives me another reason. privacy isn’t important, right?
