Acer Aspire One Review

Here's a review we did on the Acer Aspire One computer.  It's a tiny laptop that technically falls into the new class known as a netbook.  Perfect for email, surfing the internet, word processing and spread sheets, at $349 it just might be the cheapest full-feature laptop you'll ever love.

Take Two Bullets and Call Me in the Morning


Well, it seems the proverbial itchy trigger finger has become the itchy trigger thumb?!?  A company called Constitution Arms has launched a pistol (as in handgun) aimed at (pun intended) "seniors, disabled or others who may have limited strength or manual dexterity."   Called the Palm Pistol, it looks like no conventional handgun I've ever seen, nor does it work like  one, using a thumb trigger to fire it's single round.  
In fact, if you meet certain criteria you can even have one prescribed for you by a physician.  Yep, that's right, the FDA has determined that the Palm Pistol is a Class I Medical Device!  Wow, a doctor prescribed handgun... what has this world come to anyway?

UPDATE - Apparently the folks at Constitution Arms spoke a bit too quickly...  it seems the FDA has issued a statement saying that they have determined that the Palm Pistol "is not a medical device".  Whew!  For a few days there I thought our government had lost it's collective mind(s).  Wait, what?

Beer & TV...Together at Last!


It's no secret that watching football while drinking a beer is one of life's simple pleasures. But, unless you wanted to waste a lot of beer, you had to break eye contact with the TV to assure an accurate pour...UNTIL NOW! Introducing the Micro Matic V-Pod, an invention that is what we like to call, "a no-brainer".  Combine beer taps with a 10" LCD TV and stereo speakers and you have yourself a little slice of heaven.  Sure, you could buy all three components individually for far less money, but where's the fun in that?

The Simpsons Skewer Apple

I don't care if you're an Apple fanboy (or girl) or a Windows devotee, this clip from the Simpsons is darn funny.
