Gateway has released a new laptop under their FX-series department. It's a so-called multimedia laptop and has a decent spec sheet for the price. The Gateway P-7808u FX has a 2GHz Core 2 Quad Q9000 processor, NVIDIA's GeForce 9800M GTS graphics card, 4GB of DDR3 memory, 500GB SATA harddrive, 9-cell battery, 3 USB ports, FireWire, a 1.3MP integrated webcam and Bluetooth. The laptop itself is fairly heavy, tipping the scale at 9.05 pounds. You get this all for a total of $1699.99 USD and this already includes shipping.
Acer is reportedly considering their own app store. This would be for their Windows Mobile phones (a majority of them running the sad, sad WinMo 6.1). They're considering whether their efforts for an app store will be worth it, since they're not exactly one of the "big" mobile companies out there.
Before i started this blog, i had to decide on either putting it on Blogger or Wordpress. And clearly, i chose Blogger, but i could be moving to Wordpress soon. Although, Blogger has more visitors they also get tons of spammers (traffic-wise). Wordpress has the more "quality" traffic and that's where the big companies are looking. Well, i might not have the time to switch to Wordpress right now, but i may move to Wordpress during my March Break. Blogger.com does have its advantages, being simple to use and a couple of my friends are on here. Wordpress, on the other hand, is a bit more advanced, but i love their templates and has 2 versions: Wordpress.com (free) and Wordpress.org (not free). I'm obviously going to go for the free version, but i need to think of a new URL name first because "ijcopon925" is quite boring. I don't know, we'll see, hopefully you'll still be able to follow me since i don't know that much about Wordpress right now. The reason why i thought about this Blogger or Wordpress topic was because i read this article which talked about which companies Google should buy. Update: I most likely will be sticking to Blogger because of Wordpress.com's lack of updating HTML (CSS) and such. I just decided to compare them side-to-side the best that i could. Although Wordpress.com is initially free, for simple add-ons and such you have pay for most of the "advanced" stuff on there (custom CSS for $0.04 a day) which i don't have the money for since i'm no professional blogger. I'll be comparing them more throughly the next couple of days.
