At the Back of the Universal Serial Bus

iPhone, Personal Bits, Tech

My computer is on it’s last legs. How bad is it? As example, I couldn’t download the free Spore creature creator because I didn’t have enough memory and CPU power. As another example, the side panel is off. Has been for two years. Every so often I have to go in there and fudge the graphics card fan to make it stop sounding like an asthmatic marathon runner with a bad smokers hack. I have to unplug and replug in my keyboard/mouse combo every time I come out of sleep mode longer than 2 hours. Photoshop is a “click something-go get a tea-click something-go play Little Big Planet” operation. Children stand in yard and yell “Single core processor! Single core processor!” then run.

This morning, the USB ports gakked out, right when I was updating my iPhone, sending my poor darling into a Download Firmware Update mode. Suddenly I got the dreaded “Cable to iTunes” image. Meaning FUBAR, SNAFU, Fucked.

I’m 120 days away from Disney. Next week I’m going down to 4 day work week at work, which means it’s Kraft Dinner for the next 120 days. This couldn’t come at a worse time.

Anyone want a Kidney? Slightly used.

    i’ll make you a deal – let’s go hang out at some crappy yorkville cafes and we’ll help one another swipe a couple of laptops. i could use an mp3 player, too.

    Yeah, even my laptop, which isn’t a mac, is 100x more convenient than my desktop. Might just start using it as a hard drive for my PS3.

    I’m so over desktops, that’s why I’m loving SharkBoy’s iMac or sniffing around for macbooks. But right now I’m limping along.

    It’s sad when all my surfing and emails are done through my iPhone.

    Oh dear. I’ve been toying with the idea of getting rid of my desktop pc for a long while now. Would much rather have a macbook, or perhaps a desktop one.
