I had the opportunity (as did many others) over the last few days to download and install the new Android 2.1 update released by Dell & O2. On the whole the process was painless: download, run, wait, and reboot. In all about 30 minutes (over a WiFi connection).
“ You think life is bad? How would you like to be an egg?
- You only get laid once;
- You only get eaten once;
- It takes 4 minutes to get hard and 2 minutes to get soft;
- You share your box with 11 other guys; but
- Worst of all: The only chick that ever sat on your face was your mother.
So cheer up! Your life can’t be that bad! ”

My current laptop is a Dell XPS m1330 model. Coming up to 3 years old, it’s still within it’s warranty period but I’m starting to look around at possible replacements come the new year.
I’m not definately going to replace it (I may just extend the warranty for a year or two instead), but I think it’s good to start looking around and seeing what’s on the market.
However I’m quite surprised that 13” models have been dropped on every line Dell do at the moment, other than the insanely expensive, (but gorgeous) Adamo line or the netbook-style Inspiron M. What happened to the Studio or XPS lines, or even the standard Inspiron’s?
Although 15” is a possibility, for the regular trips I make with it and the occasions I use it while out-and-about (such as Trains or Bars/Cafes), I fell that reasisticlly it’s to heavy and cumbersom. Nice to work on a desk or at home, but just a touch too large beyond that.
On the other hand 11” are just too small, with a cramped display (or high pixel density) and slightly squished keyboard. 13” is, for me, the perfect size.
So what happened?
“I am sick and tired of everyone telling me I’m confused! I wasn’t confused until other people started telling me I was! You know what I think? I think maybe you’re the ones who are confused! I’m not gonna be confused anymore just ‘cause you say I should be.
My name is Butters, I’m 8 years old, I’m blood type O and I’m bi-curious! And even that’s okay, because if I’m bi-curious and I’m somehow made from God, then I figure God might be a little bi-curious himself!
