Went to best Buy to buy my Mom's christmas gift. While there I checked out the new nokia 3g netbook. It runs windows 7, or should I say, it should run windows 7. Instead it had the windows safe boot screen.
First of all I can't believe that it was at that point already but more so, I can't believe the microsoft programmers had not updated that part of the OS. It really needs a new look if it is still happening all the time.
To make it worse, after starting up in normal mode, the screen was upside down so all the movements on the trackpad were reversed.
The build quality of the netbook itself was pretty nice. I really liked the keyboard and that it had HDMI out. I was my mac mini had that.
I was kind of hoping they would have had the nokia n900
which is the "not phone" (nokia n810) I used to have but with 3g built in. It was sorely missing that before. Its pretty much my dream phone.
A linux computer/phone with keyboard that is totally open but I am not in the market to invest another $500 into the nokia tablet craze. I already had the n 7710, the n800, and the n810, each of which cost more than $400.
I guess wii is not that popular anymore. I remember I couple christmas' ago when I actually wanted one and there were none to be found. Now it just seems a little outdated to pay that much for.
We also stopped at some xmas store that had so much ridiculous and tacky xmas crap. The craziest of all were the vehicle xmas costumes.
Its weird right? Costumes are not a christmas thing nor a vehicle thing. Who the fuck thought to match those two up. Is it a halloween leftover?
We also got our tree, I am sure
(e:matthew) will post all about it.
At one time there where two of those places at the mall, but that was years ago. They had some really cool stuff there that I wanted well if I had the money but can't remember what it was back then, they also had like religious stuff like Buddhas and all kinds of things. I have to ask when you where there did you eat at Steel Crazy , They moved there from their spot on Elmwood. I have a feeling they do a lot better at the mall then where they were, that is a tough corner.
The $300+ dollar one was as tall as me, the picture is deceiving. The little ones were cheaper.
Wow - that is very expensive if they were Papier-mâché and still somewhat expensive if they were wood or any metal.
Like $79 to $349 but they are huge. Most other stuff was between $5-$50.
Do you remember how much were the elephants in the picture?
