The HP Touchsmart 2 - Newly Reinvented!

To enjoy this site as intended simply press F11. Pressing F11 again will return to normal.










TECHNOLOGY


So the first HP Touchsmart was a flop. It happens. But what really separates the men from the boys is how you hit the ground. Do you splat all over the place and die? Or do you make like a superball and bounce back so high that people don't even recognize you? Well that is what HP did with the new version of the Touchsmart. I did a post about Microsoft Surface about a year ago, and this seems to be a little Surface, a little Minority Report, and no price tag to correlate. Or you could think of the desktop edition of the iPhone. Which could make the new HP Touchsmart the first ultra-modern computer for "everyman". (Remember him?)

And speaking of the iPhone, where the heck is Apple in this? Microsoft? HP? NOT the first two companies I would have bet on releasing this stuff to the hungry masses before the others.


clicky-clicky to go to HP and drool, I mean see more »

Factory Pinball - Virtual Voodoo!

To enjoy this site as intended simply press F11. Pressing F11 again will return to normal.





CATEGORY: Just For Fun

Factory Pinball is a 2D pinball game that uses ragdoll human/animal figures instead of a ball. It it is also thoroughly editable using the downloadable editor.

The first thing you will notice when running this game is the conspicuous absense of the customary pinball ball, replaced by a human figure gruesomely flailing about the screen.

The second thing will notice is that the game is really well done, with attention being paid to the graphics, the soundtrack, as well as the overall playability, which is very smooth and satisfying.
