Some very interesting words about assembled/custom built computers…

Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Pre-built might work for typical users. But pre-built didn’t work for Google. And pre-built doesn’t work for me.

We aren’t typical users. We’re programmers. The x86 commodity PC is the essential, ultimate tool of our craft. It’s the end product of 30 years of computer evolution. And it’s still evolving today, with profound impact on the way we code. If you treat your PC like an appliance you plug into a wall, you’ve robbed yourself of a crucial lesson on the symbiotic relationship between software and hardware. The best way to truly understand the commodity PC is to gleefully dig in and build one yourself. Get your hands dirty and experience the economics of computer hardware first hand– the same economics that have shaped the software industry since the very first line of code was stored in memory.

Who knows, you might even enjoy it.

Nike Cricket TV Commercial

The reason Nike is bothered to make an ad for cricket? Maybe they realized India is no longer a third world market they can ignore and let Reebok eat away the market share.

Metallica Harvester Of Sorrow Live in Moscow ’91

This is the Metallica that I love, have loved and will always love. Not the modern stuff that they are manufacturing (and not composing).
