Woohoo! The new computer came in! It's so awesome! When it boots up a cool looking alien head appears on the screen before it starts the BIOS processes. And it came totally devoid of AOL advertisments; the only mass-marketed crap on there was an MSN icon. It also comes with a ton of "real" games, and some cool backgrounds. All in all I was very impressed with it.

Microsoft finally got cracked. It wasn't totally their fault though. The more amazing thing is that the crackers might have had access for 3 months already, and that they probally stole some of the source code to Windows. My concern is that Microsoft will use this incident to pass legislation to put more control over the internet and impliment more stuff like Carnivore.

The PS2 craze is getting bigger everyday it seems. You can search Ebay.com and find people auctioning PS2's for over $1,000 and up. Now probally most of those are faked bids, but even $600 for a PS2 sounds way too high for me. Heck, I thought $300 was too high for a PS2!
