Ah Wolfram Alpha. The search engine that attempts to answer mathematical and scientific problems. Tech sites and magazines rarely mentioned it lately. Or is it for the past few years? I forgot.

It even answers metaphorical questions now. Try it !

hujan86: Which comes first? The chicken or the egg?

Wolfram Alpha: There could not have been a first egg to give a beginning to birds, or there should have been a first bird which gave a beginning to eggs; for a bird come from an egg. According to Aristotle.

Told you. That thing is fabulous.

It even knows about Internet memes.

Nevertheless, a fast response time of 5ms makes this screen well suited to gamers and video enthusiasts.

Furthermore, 5ms response time means it's suited to gaming and video applications, too.

That's from an expert review? It sounds more like an assumption. They didn't even do the test. Or least they didn't mention they did the gaming and videos tests.

Be careful when buying stuff.

Never trust abstract information. Only trust technical details and make sure they are correct.

Also, ignore those people trying to coerce you into buying their shit because depending on how desperate they are for a sales %, they'd be ready to do anything just to get it sold and won't give a damn about scamming the actual customer.

Tip of the day: if Firefox starts derping and refuses to open any website for no apparent reason, deleting %localappdata%\Mozilla\Firefox might help.

Yeah, I've made mistakes in the past. Hell, I don't wanna regret spending my money on some sub-par products again.

Trust me, we've all been there. This is when you realize modern technology is just like drugs.

Oh the memories.

And yes, I know he spelled remember wrong. Not my fucking video.

For the extra lulz, it should have included AOL. Who DIDN'T have AOL at some point in time during the early days of the internet?

Yeah no shit. And even IF you already had AOL you'd get a cd in your mailbox every other day just to make sure you got on it.

Oh god that reminds me about trying to muffle the back of the computer while it connected at night because I didn't want to wake my mom up. This video does not do the real life horrifyingly chilling sound enough justice.

56k, fuck yeah.

Weird phone noises, failed most of the time, and when you finally managed to get in, it took hours to grab a few megabytes off the Internets.

Also, the bills. The bills. Oh lord, the phone bills.

Crud, my mouse battery died. Now I have to use my tiny laptop mouse while it recharges.

Wait, isn't it like the second time it happens to you or was it another poster ?

I'unno? It happens to me fairly regularly because I don't like to charge my mouse until its practically running on fumes (which sometimes means it dies while in use). Its better for the battery, since its internal and I can't replace it easily.

Oh lord, I lol'd. That was totally like you.

You have a long-lived mouse, I see. I haven't seen a mouse with old battery type that isn't better off charged to 100% as often as possible for years now.

Sales Person: "I recommend that you buy this Gigabit Ethernet cable. It can transfer data up to 1000Mbps instead of the conventional 100Mbps. It's a tad more expensive but it's worth it."

Me: "I dunno. Although my desktop has a Gigabit LAN port but I don't think my modem has one."

Sales Person: "Don't worry. It's compatible. It's like having a larger diameter water pipe. You'll get more water pressure from it. It's the same with this cable. You'll get better transfer speeds from the internet."

Right... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Wow. Best answer I've seen so far from a salesperson.

And by best, I obviously mean worst.
