i cant even begin to imagine one good thing to say about karl rove but i was just watching a rerun of keith olbermann and during the entire segment while discussing roves involvement in the prosecutor scandal they had "turdblossom" under his picture. seemed a little unseemly for a news organization to go there. but then what do i know of decorum?
Aggressive Intel Quad-core Price Cuts Before "Barcelona"
Intel is trying to steal AMD's thunder by cutting prices deeply. The Q6600 is a Core 2 Quad with 1066 MHz front side bus (connects to the memory controller chip), 8 MBytes of cache, and 2.4 GHz operating frequency. It will be $266 (in quantity) by Q3 of this year. Earlier this year, the retail price of the 2.93 GHz sibling was around $2k.
Four screaming-fast 64-bit processors for $266. Awesome.

tracy morgan has some fun on morning tv.
the naked city was shot on location in nyc in 1947. much of the action takes place around rivington st. when i noticed the shapiros wine i realized that this was not shot on some hollywood backlot. so, a nice snapshot of the neighborhood. they even have a scene in the essex market. robert osborne said many of the bustling street shots were taken from a truck which preserved the cameramans anonymity and the naturalistic ambiance.
im sure there are a million awful photos related to the war but this one apparently has upset the tender feelings of the warfloggers.

Why isn't Viiv working for Intel?
NEWEST MULTIMEDIA PC BRAND HASN'T GENERATED MUCH BUZZ
The most common Viiv approach seems similar to Apple TV. A media adapter gizmo sits next to the TV, and connects to a personal computer. The delay in availability of the media adapter gizmos and a new media-aware OS (i.e. Vista), have taken some of the wind out of the sales of Viiv.
One of the "gizmos" is described in the September 2006 article below -- but it's still in beta and currently only supports presentation of photo and music from the attached PC to the TV: Don't even think about moving media in the other way.
DirecTV's Viiv box almost ready for prime time
I'm still not clear why a PC needs Viiv to do this. Fast boot and power-on via LAN perhaps?

Last week I had IMHO a sensational meal at Aburiya Kinnosuke.....one of the best dishes was a Yellowtail Neck cooked in the bincho-tan charcoal pit, splash of lemon and YUM!! The grilled young bamboo was fantastic as was the mixed plate from the "for drinks" menu which included whole baby squid in miso......not everything is great here, the eel and egg just for example was just OK....the noodles which is how I end the meal are stunning as is the way I like to begin fresh tofu.....dont miss the chicken meatballs with soft poached egg on top and anything table bincho-tan coal grilled on the something or other leaf.....eat at the counter
