It is the Alienware AM11x-826CSB Gaming Laptop pictured below: This laptop has so many great features but what really appealed to me was the price, under $800 for a full gaming laptop. Among the special features of this laptop we find the Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 1.30GHz, 800MHz, 3MB Cache, the 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1066MHz (2 DIMMs), and the 320GB (7200 RPM) Hard Drive. This system would run all of the new games that I will be playing much better than my three year old Dell.

What are others saying? 

Take a look at this review. 

Before we all sit down to watch the Superbowl online, there are still 4 teams left and that number needs to dwindle down to 2.

I want the Packers to win and I want the Steelers to win.  However, I am picking their opponent in each contest.

Why?

The Jets are mute this week.  Unlike last week, they are remaining silent.  This scares me and should scare the Steelers.  Plus, with Big Ben not partying like a rock star, I am not sure he has nerves of steel anymore, but I hope that I am wrong.  Prove me wrong Big Ben!

I pick the Jets 27-20 though I want the Steelers.

Now, I differ from my boy John who wrote in My Superbowl Picks! that he is going with the Steelers and the Packers. Of course, everyone is going with them. But, as I said, I am going contrarian.

I predict the Bears will stop the might Packers and it will be a low-scoring game.  My pick:  Bears 17, Packers 14.

Again, I hope this does not happen, but these are my NFC Conference championship picks.

The publication states that:

YouTube on Thursday opened a video rental store, the company’s latest step in
its effort to transform the popular video Web site into
a profitable business.

I don’t know if this will work or not.  I currently visit the Top Online Movie Rentals and this allows me to watch all of the movies that I want online from Amazon.  The delivery and viewing of these movies is second to none.

Will Google succeed?  Could be because a lot people are accustomed to getting their entertainment from YouTube but they need to have a better selection for me to switch over!

Apparently, Hitler has hit YouTube and people are ROFL–you see…I know my IM lingo.  Of course, I tried to logon and see them but I was too late.  Apparently,

“The parodies, which have become a popular viral meme on the internet, all focus on a single scene from the movie when Hitler screams at his generals upon learning that Germany is about to lose the war.”

Weird that this should come out now because I just saw movie last night about a German teacher who arouses his students into creating a sect and becoming a bit of taunting group themselves. 

Based on the statement below, most of the vids are gone if you guys still won’t to see them:

“It is unclear how many parodies have been taken down and how many remain on YouTube, but many could still be seen Tuesday, including “Hitler reacts to new Star Trek movie 4,” “Hitler is informed and rants about the Apple iPad,” and “Hitler finds out Tony Romo dumped Jessica Simpson.”

They are either honest or stupid.

I have just finished watching the Heritage Classic, which Jim Furyk won because the other guy called a penalty on himself. This cost him probably more than 1/2 million dollars.

Wow, sometimes honesty does have its price.

Read about how Brian Davis called a penalty on himself and lost the golf tournament.

It turns out that with an application called the YouTube Downloader, this whole process is rather simple.  Rather than going through all the explanations here, simply read the instructions at the article referenced above.

Like many people, when I was debating between the iPod Touch or iPhone, I eventually decided on the more humble, and less expensive Nano.  In the end, I wanted music and video and the Nano excels at both of these.

The others are larger and they are like computers.  But I already got a Netbook and a phone so I did not need either of these.

And now that I can role with YouTube videos on my Nano, I even twice as cool

If you read my blog, you may have realized that Sundays are my hobby days.  Today, I was reviewing cool things that I could do with my laptop computer and my LCD TV.  One of those is connecting the two together.  When you bring your laptop and LCD TV together, you essentially can do many things much better, like watching movies that are stored on your hard drive or showing a room full of people your picture.

However, this works best if you do the PC to LCD TV connection using HDMi.  When I began Examining HDMI Inputs, I realized how much better HDMI was than its counterparts VGA and DVI.

Why?

Well, HDMI carries both the audio and video signals without the need for a separate setup and it makes them appear all that much better.

So, what does this allow you to do for example?  Well, I have learned how to copy a DVD to hard disk and now have like 500 movies all on my computer hard disk.

Now, with this laptop to TV connection, I have all of these movies accessible at the touch of a button which is rei-cool.

And that is my recommendation for you Sunday project!!!

As I begin the process of researching making money online, it came to me that there are so many ways to do this.

For example, as you guys have see, I like to write about everything under the sun. In other words, I would be what one would call a generalist.

However, I have also read that you cannot be a generalist AND make money at the same time. A blog without focus is a blog which can make no money…so they say.

I disagree.

So, here is what I am thinking of doing.

First, I will learn how to make money with AdSense as this is a quick way to get started. I can simply put Google AdSense Ads on my site and then see if that brings in any money.

Of course, I need more readers to generate income…but all in due time.

After that, I am going to take a look at reviewing products for Amazon and make some money from them.

I will update you with my making money online adventures as they progress.

Happy Friday to all and have a great weekend!

Anyway, I found a good site called Valentines for him which has a bunch of good ideas for Valentines Day.  I especially liked the article What Can I Get My BF for Valentines as it tells what guys really want, which women need to hear.

Typically, we buy the wrong things for our boyfriends.  They want techie stuff and we get them romantic stuff.

This year I’ll get my BF something he actually wants for Valentine’s instead of some cheezy romantic thing. 

Girls, you should do the same…he’ll appreciate you for it!

Well, I have just begun that task and have discovered something very cool.  You see…I use about 3 computers on a day to day basis and my bookmarks are stored all over the place.  I never know on which systems that I saved everything.

Now, it’s different and WAY better.  I found a site called mylinkvault.com.  Now, all of my bookmarks are online and can be accessed wherever I want.  Check out my personal link vault here.   Yes, that’s right, you can share all of your bookmarks with your friends, which makes this even better.

This site gets my full-on recommendation…now go have a look for yourself!
