Dallas Mavericks vs. San Antonio Spurs

NBA Playoffs... now the real season begins...

I like the once-mighty Mavs, but they should have put Miami away back in '06 and brought home a title. On the other hand, SA has brought home numerous trophies, mainly on the backs of "The Admiral", David Robinson and Tim Duncan... Having said that, Dallas loves the Mavericks, but I think Texas loves the Spurs more, and possibly the Rockets more, since they were able to bring home a couple of championships on the ample back of Hakeem Olajuwon - greatness, indeed...

So, Dallas is the lower seed and Spurs have a little more going for them this year... They won't win another title, that will surely come down to the Cavs or Lakers, but they will win this series... I'll say in six games...

This is why people are tech-idiots... even the learing press...

Apple: 'PC is no bargain when it doesn't do what you want' | The Toybox | ZDNet.com

First of all, there are several anti-virus applications that do an adequate job of keeping your PC clean - AVG Anti-virus and Avira AntiVir, to name two... Both of these are loaded on PCs in my home, and neither have failed to do the job. And it's just plain stupid to think that Macs never get viruses... True, Windows machines are more susceptible, but then they are more pervasive making for easier targets.

Secondly, applications like Photoshop Elements are easily replaced with freeware or open-source applications, such as Picasa... except for the operating system, none of our PCs at home have much purchased software; OpenOffice.org does the job for all word-processing, spreadsheets, and even presentations... all in compatible MS Office formats...

Anyway, the adds are spot-on and the Mac is way cool, but if you must have one, build a Hackintosh, yourself...
