I've been on this rock for 38 years now (damn! I feel old!) and if you're like me then there's some things that just annoy the crap out of ya. Some are small and really meaningless while others cause my blood to boil!

Microsoft has been working on their latest browser, Internet Explorer 8, for some time now. I've been hearing a lot of mixed reviews about it but figured that the best review I could read was one of my own.

The test box has 1 GB of RAM and a 2Ghz AMD Athlon 2400 processor making it an ideal test subject because I think it will be closer, if not slower, than what your average desktop has for horsepower these days and I believe that will make for a more accurate test.

Word on the street is that The Dark Knight will be released on DVD on December 9th. I have never been more anxious for a movie's release than this one!! Hopefully Santa has a Blu-Ray player in his sack with my name on it! LOL

Two weeks ago I ordered three Lenovo T500 series laptops for work and man, these things are nice. The only problem: Vista preinstalled! So I proceeded to downgrade to Windows XP on these beasts. Should 'downgrade' even be used in that context? Oh well, more on that later!
