Happy B-Day Game Boy!

on 4/21/09

20 years ago today the first Game Boy was released in Japan. Now it's been giving kids an excuse to tune out their parents for 2 decades! Kotaku has a great post paying homage to this portable gaming veteran.

Mac's 25 Birthday! Huzzah!

on 1/24/09
   Apple's had a long run in the computer market, full of fumbles, and successes.  It started as a small company selling archaic, homemade computers.  There was Steve Jobs as the advertiser and Steve Wozniak as the brainchild for the computers.  It was all fine in Mac world until the release of horrendous Apple III, luckily though, the graphical interface and mouse.  The next era contained the end of the first Job's monarchy, the ridiculous Apple 20th Anniversary computer, the little know Apple Pippin, and many other flops.  Until, in circa 2000, Steve Jobs returned to his post and released the wildly successful Ipod, a completely redesigned and overhauled computer lineup, and the few Mac geeks left with their tails wagging.  So, what do you think of Apple's long run?
