I read this article today, got a good laugh out of it and thought I would share it. You can find the original article here: ExtremeTech. Here is the best part and the one that made me smile the most.
You’re a loser if…
- You paid $500 and up for a video game system.
- You camped out anywhere to buy one for your personal use.
- You camped out anywhere to buy one and then try to dump it on eBay or some other auction site for a massive profit.
- You were stupid enough to fall for Sony (and Nintendo and Microsoft’s) pretend shortages designed to stoke consumer angst and create a media event around the launch of a videogame system.
- You’re a parent and you actually bought a PS3 for your kid because of the hype.
- You’re a Sony executive and you thought your system would rule the roost…joke’s on you, Nintendo is outselling you. Your system costs too much, thanks to your decision to use it to try and force Blu-Ray onto the world.
- You’re a game developer and you develop exclusively for the PS3.
I love technology, and I have since I was a little kid. My job at PrintingForLess gives me the opportunity to play with some of the coolest electronic toys out there. From multi-core processors, 15,000 rpm hard drives, multi terabyte disk arrays down to mice, projectors, and monitors I get the pleasure of picking the best tools for the job and then making folks more productive by giving them cool toys. Some days it kinda feels like being Santa Claus.
Today I got the chance today to put a Dell 3007WFP monitor on my desk today and it was a real treat. It is a glorious piece of hardware and is pretty much the coolest piece of technology I have had the pleasure of using. I will only have a few more hours tomorrow to experience 30″ of wide screen computer goodness, but I can imagine how a monitor like this can change the computing experience. For image editing, graphics design, spreadsheets and even pre-press work, this display is a great way to make your time in front of the computer much more pleasant.
