A little help?

I now am in a situation, that is.. rather stupid, if I might say so myself. The story is this: My pc died some weeks ago, and we delivered it for repair, since I am going to another part of the country rather soon, we discussed buying a mini-pc that I would have first, and then eventually my two small siblings would get it, as I got my old pc back, or we could do it so that I got the small pc. and my siblings got the big one. Nevertheless, we all counted on the pc being gone for months, as it always is. So, after a while, so yesterday, my dad bought this mini pc and brought it home to me. It`s an Acer Aspire 1410, and I really like it. It`s even got Windows 7 Home Premium, and it is adorable! It`s tiny, but not too tiny. What I really dislike with my old HP is that it`s huuuge and heavy, and everytime I have to take it somewhere I sigh loudly and get totally exhausted. What a monster.

Anyway, today, the day after he bought the mini-pc, my old pc is suddenly back from repair. And now I`m stuck with the choice, the new tiny, cute, adorable mini-pc (with Windows 7!:D) oor my good ol` HP? For those interested, the HP is called HP Pavillion Dv9000, and it`s 3 years old, and as new it was a pretty damn good pc, a pretty pricy one as well. It`s a widescreen, so basically a monster. But a monster that I got kinda found of.

The bad thing is, if I wanna play something, or edit photos, I understood that the mini-pc will suck and not be even a tiny bit good. But how often do I play? I can tell you that that aint often. And I am no pc expert, but pc experts always say, that using a mini-pc as your main pc can get kinda annoying? However, as I understood it this is a good mini-pc. Well, if anyone have good tips or strong opinions, please write, I really need advice here. God, what a luxury-problem, imagine the poor people in Africa that doesn`t even get food, and here I am complaining about having 2 PCs to chose between? Yep, I feel bad.

For the record: I travel more than the average person, I think, and therefore the small kinda appeals much to me. Imagine just fitting it in the purse. Sigh..


So, which would you chose?

Pretty darn stupid..

...iPhone-apps

I don't know how many times I came over some iPhone app that made me wanna hit my head in the wall, more than 10 times, for sure. Alot more than the apps I show here, I'll just write shortly about some apps that reeeaaaallly made me wanna hit my head in the wall. The more of them I write, the more the wall calls for my head, therefore I'll keep it few.. for now.

iDie

Wanna know when you probably will die? Then this is the application for you! Keep track on your probable deathday, wherever, whenever!

















Fart Piano

An application that plays you notes.. in fart-sounds. Congrats on making the worst applicaton in the world, whoever you are that made it.










I Am Rich

When you thought the previous application was the stupidest ever... here comes I Am Rich! THIS application costs 1000 dollars, and the only thing you get is a diamond on the screen to "remind you that you are rich enough to buy a 1000 dollar app". 8 people bought this before the iPhone-app-store removed it. Is there really a worse way of using money?... I think not.
















Sim Stapler

When writing about this I'm just gonna quote what the sellers (I think) wrote about it:

The first true office equipment simulator!

The first true office equipment simulator, SimStapler© brings all of the thrill and excitement of a “real” stapler right to the palm of your hand.

It has been said that it is humanity’s imagination that sets us apart from the beasts of the field. Now, your children can learn to be more human by imagining they are stapling two sheets of paper together, with SimStapler©


You get the idea, or? Senseless.




















 That's it for now, if I write more I will hurt myself. Stay tuned for upcoming parts of "Pretty Darn Stupid!" :D
