Mind of UPSLynx for the week of October 11th

Bobby Miller October 16, 2009 2:15 PM ET in Tech

Despite last week’s grim news, my lapel mic is not actually dead. In fact, it makes a triumphant return this week, as I suffer through the terribly low temperatures of Elkhart, IN!

In this week’s edition of Mind of UPSLynx, I address a burning question: Did I actually chuck a PC off the balcony? More seriously, we learned that if you are a fugitive on the run, do not post messages and pictures on Facebook. Speaking of idiots, how about Pepsi and their new iPhone app?

Want the lowdown on workstation GPUs? Icrontic has you covered with a look at the ATI FirePro V8750. Lastly, the DirectX 11 gaming roadmap has emerged, and it looks like massive amounts of win.

    It's so cold in tha E man... You can't read IC when it's this cold out. Represent.

    Also, Dunigan's bowling shot into that CRT is spot on. He sucks at bowling, but he can shoot a CRT any day.

    And yet, conveniently, we still don't see last week's PC hitting the ground...

    Yes Grimnoc, you're in there for one of those clips. Isn't that an incredible montage? Seeing it all happen so quickly and brutally like that. And yet, that is only about 40% of my total 'smashing stuff' clips from college.

    I'm going to make a master montage one of these days. It will last four minutes long and blow everyone's minds.

Hey, be nice. Icrontic is full of good people, we promise.
