Video: Dell Adamo XPS Hinge Demo - This thing is gunna snap

 

This thing looks like if you blow on it, it will shred into a million pieces. In the video the last few seconds, when he is just letting go, there is a moment where he makes sure it is "balanced" -- like he is afraid to let go -- and that is not a good thing. The Dell adamo was a bit of a disappointment, but the Dell Adamo XPS is shaping up to be a good contender for the ultra, mega light netbooks, it just looks like it could snap any moment. Read more on the Dell Adamo here.

Apple Already Attacks Microsoft - Mac and PC ad

Well we all know that Windows 7 came out today and I'm personally excited to see what the perception is. According to the Podcast "TWIT" (This Week In Tech) it's just as good as Snow Leopard minus a few things. They all agree though its the most secure windows has ever been and should be the best improvement for Windows ever.

Apple though has already released one of their famous commercials and possibly brings up a good point. Check it out for yourself.

Now this commercial is true, I don't really see how you can argue that but I do think we should give Windows a chance and I'm ready to see what they came up with this time.

Celebrate Windows 7's release with a 7 pattie Whopper

Consisting of more than 2,000 calories (more than what you should consume in an entire day), the Windows 7 Whopper can be purchased in Japan starting October 22nd through the 28th. Show Microsoft and Burger King that you support Windows 7 by killing your arteries.

Apple will support Windows 7 for Macs in Boot Camp by the end of December

 

 

Yes even the Mac crowd has been curious about the new and improved Windows 7 -- and most of them have already loaded up Boot Camp and thrown in Windows 7, just to test it of course -- but some have waited for Apples redundant seal of approval.

The official support is coming "before the end of the year" to Snow Leopard and will obviously require an update to the Boot Camp software. The other half of the story is we are getting the feeling this is going to be a "Snow Leopard only thing" and 2006 Intel-based Macs will not receive Apples support. Read Apple's support note here.

Update: NO Blu-Ray for XBox 360!!!

Major Nelson, unofficial spokesman for anything Xbox has come out and denied what was previously misinterpreted by earlier reports that Steve Ballmer had confirmed Blu-Ray coming to the 360.

During an interview yesterday, Steve Ballmer was asked about Blu-Ray and the Xbox 360. I wanted to clear something up. Steve was referring to Blu-Ray accessories for the PC. As we have said in the past, we have no plans to introduce a Blu-Ray drive for the Xbox 360. In fact, the future of home entertainment starts very soon when Xbox 360 becomes the first and only console to offer instant-on 1080p streaming HD movies. With a library of thousands of TV shows and movies to choose from, Xbox 360 owners can instantly watch the movies they want, when they want, in the highest form of high definition.

Video Demo: RUSE Using Windows 7 Multitouch Features

Ubisoft's strategy game, R.U.S.E. will be among some of the first games to use Windows' 7 touch features. If you don't know what R.U.S.E. is (I don't blaim you if you don't) check out this website.

I think it is a really good idea for strategy games to use the multitouch features as it will make playing the game a lot easier and more enjoyable. As you can see from the video it looks great.
