Uh... yeah... I'll have whatever Jacob's drinkin'.


To dislike Sinatra is a sign of highly questionable taste. To dislike the Beatles is a serious character flaw.

Your graphics card is outdated The latest is either the GeForce 7800 XLTsomthing or ATI's X1800

Other than that, when will the G6 go mobile?

Well, analysts expect it to go mobile quite soon, but I expect we won't be seeing a G6 laptop for a while yet.

Actually it's quite interesting, and easy. The liquid cooling in this baby doubles as a deep frier. Not only can you get fresh fries, but now it is that much easier to make a fried turkey for Thanksgiving. Mmmmmm. Fried turkey.....

Great, just what I needed a copper tower. Could you imagine having to clean the tarnish off something like that!

We'll also be needing Paris Hilton to do a TV ad campaign for the new PM G6. Include a few close-ups of her licking the logic board and we'll be selling them mofos like crazy.
