I’m prepared to forgive some hyperbole from someone who is very excited about a project he’s working on, but still, it’s probably a good sign that these guys are calling Windows 8 “mind-blowing” and not, say, “evolutionary.” Between the breathless praise of 7 and Microsoft’s quarterly results, you can actually sense people who are actually pumped about something. There’s not a lot of substance , but it’s kind of nice to have some positive noise around the project.

GDC maybe?

Dynamism now has some competition with the Viliv X70 ; well sort-of. Newegg just started selling the amazing Viliv X70 tablet PC, but don’t buy it from them unless you wanna overpay. It’s still cheaper at Dynamism plus you get extras like a case, the car kit (it works great as a desktop mount too), leather pouch, and a protective film for the screen

Mother of God. I used to have a TI-83 for calculus classes, but all I ever had on it was DrugWar and a little racing game that was as hard as nails. Come to think of it, how did I even get those on there?

I can’t imagine that this stuff is cost-effective right now, but in a couple years? Damn, I might just buy me a Kindle 5. The writing bit could be handy, but its direct input method (just giving the magnetized powder a green light at point of contact, looks like) suggests to me that it may not be able to store that writing.

I stumbled upon a little surprise during a quick trip to Target last night: Peeks are clearanced out at Target. I don’t know if all the color options, or stores, are running the same pricing, but at least the red and blue models are $25 at Flint, MI target
