My lovely, beautiful readers, I am regretfully signing off for easter. I was hoping that I would be able to keep updating daily, as I have promised, even throughout this holiday, but ironically I cannot because of technical difficulties. My cellphone, which I was planning on using as a gateway device to the internet while away from society, has decided on waging war with me, and so though I will be quite able to write, I won’t be 
able to update myself on the world, nor update you. Alas! I have not yet been crowned emperor of the universe, so there is really nothing I can do in this matter, so for three full days you shall have to do without my guidance. I sincerely hope that you can withstand the torment of uncertainty.
So before I take my leave, I will share one technological tidbit with you, though some of you might already have heard word of this marvel of modern science; the first ion based computer. Isn’t it interesting that the great innovators of the technological world always rip of
f others when it comes to names? The ion is a motherboard that Nvidia created, so at first I was very sceptical – I thought Nvidia should have kept doing what they do best,
make graphics processors – but they convinced me after a while, and now the first computer is about to arrive. The greatest strength of the ion board is that it’s small. Most of us thought the netbooks were pretty neat, but Nvidia was not pleased at all, the netbooks were hardly good for anything but very simple tasks, so they decided that they could do better, and they have.
Cooperating with Acer they have made this beauty. My guess is that we will see better variations pretty soon, but this first one is very interesting. I like the idea of it as a bookshelf computer, hooked up to a TV, preferably wirelessly, but that is asking a bit much. In any case it is supposed to be able to handle direct X 10, something the netbooks were never even near capable of, and games like Call of Duty 4 don’t even make this thing break a sweat. Still, gaming is not what this computer seems to be made for. It looks like a box that, although it’s pretty, is hidden away somewhere, and that you control by remote while your friends stand amazed as music starts playing, and movies pop on screen instantly. So basically I think it’s a late PC version of the Apple TV. Bravo Nvidia, not only did you skimp off of Intel for the name, but Apple for the area of appliance. This has got to be good.
As usual I shall supply you all with an article, from the motherland. Here, have a Link!
