Collins’ Onovia

My biggest gripe with laptops is that vendors seem to push them out left and right often with little or no updates. Drivers are usually branded, and require that you use only then manufacturer driver versions. This leaves games and hard core computer users either without a laptop, or with a laptop that “hardware wise” can run that newest and best game, but you need a few versions better of your video driver, which “Dell” or whoever else has decided that they would stop developing. I’ve been on the prowl for a laptop for some time now. My fears with a laptop are that I will run into that same boat, where the drivers stop being developed, and the laptop becomes outdated within 16 months.

I’ve been watching the prices at Newegg.com fall for the Asus Laptops. I’m really ready to buy one. The reviews always seem positive, and the prices always seem reasonable, which both are important to me.

So, here’s where my eye’s been: ASUS M70Vm-X1 Anyone have experience with Asus laptops?

September 11th is a day for reflection for America, and the presidential candidates took full advantage. Both Obama and McCain, along with their VP picks were at ground zero. While scanning through the pictures, I happened to notice something interesting. It looks to me like someone photoshopped a flag onto McCain. As far as I could find, there were no other photo’s with the flag.

Take a look at the following pictures. Do you think this flag pin was photoshopped?

Edit 9/26/08: Rhonda R Shearer at StinkyJournalism.org has pointed out that this image is not photoshoped. In fact, McCain had a pin place on him after descending the ramp. There are photo’s of this event. I apologize to McCain, and all of my readers for not taking the time to investigate this fully.
