Adamo By Dell | Specs, Pricing, Pictures and Demo Video
Looking at this makes me realize that maybe there is a company that can maybe come close to what apple does with their computers. The only company that comes to mind is Dell. Every person that has not been living uder a rock has owned a dell, worked somwhere wher they exclusivley use them, or just admire the company as a whole.
In my mind dell is the only company who "gets it", I mean c'mon they offer Ubuntu as one of their OS choices, EPIC! So since I am making this post about the new Dell Adamo, I should shut up and get on with it...

Why Adamo Might kill the Macbook Air
Firs off, ITS GOT MORE THAN 1 USB PORT!!!!!!! Second you can still easily fit it inside a manilla envalope. The downside is since it is flat around the edges unlike the air, you can't cut a wedding cake with it :(
No seriusly, all in all this machine is overall better than the beloved Macbook Air, But it will cost you 2,499 | 3,399 Dollars. Wait, WTF!
Remember how expensive the macbook air was when it came out!
But on with the good stuff (after the video)

Apple Blocks Palm Pre Ability to Sync with iTunes in 8.2.1 update
We feared this day, and yet here it is: Apple has blocked the Palm Pre from syncing with iTunes 8 with its latest iTunes 8.2.1 update, according to Engadget Mobile.
Apple's Software Update says in the install dialog that the new version "provides a number of important bug fixes and addresses an issue with verification of Apple devices," as I confirmed (see above screenshot from the iMac I'm typing this on). That's about as pointed as it gets without saying it straight out.
It's up to the individual Palm Pre owner how much of a drag this is. There are other ways to get music onto the Palm Pre, obviously, and this is less of an issue now that Apple has finally removed DRM from its iTunes Store music tracks.
"If Apple chooses to disable Media Sync in a future version of iTunes, we just think it will be a direct blow to their own users," Palm spokeswoman Lynn Fox said last month, responding to Apple's support note that had essentially threatened this exact course of action. "We just think it would be unfortunate if they were to choose to do that."
