Steve jobs owns a PC.

of course Steve Jobs owns a PC. He personally pisses on every product apple sells and he doesn't want to stain his million dollar rug.

kendama
 
I read this post and immediately needed airheads so my boyfriend and I walked to the gas station to get airheads and came back with $13 worth of candy haha.
 


this is kendama... like seriously i understand that thorne does it and it gets the kendama word out there and kids want to try it cuz he does it. But seriously its ball in a cup. Wouldn't you rather spend time getting good at something cooler or more productive? I may be too old but its one of the most ridiculous things i see on ns.
 
PC = personal computer. Yes, I'm sure Jobs DOES own a pc, but one of the brand "Apple" which is also a PC. That you have all bought into the intentional marketing scheme that brands Apple as somehow separate from all other PC's is proof that you are gullible sheep, and you should be put to death swiftly.
 
Steve Jobs about the good old Miele washing machines







Is there anything well designed today that inspires you?

Design is not limited to fancy new gadgets. Our family just bought a new

washing machine and dryer. We didn't have a very good one so we spent a

little time looking at them. It turns out that the Americans make

washers and dryers all wrong. The Europeans make them much better - but

they take twice as long to do clothes! It turns out that they wash them

with about a quarter as much water and your clothes end up with a lot

less detergent on them. Most important, they don't trash your clothes.

They use a lot less soap, a lot less water, but they come out much

cleaner, much softer, and they last a lot longer.

We spent some time in our family talking about what's the trade-off we

want to make. We ended up talking a lot about design, but also about the

values of our family. Did we care most about getting our wash done in

an hour versus an hour and a half? Or did we care most about our clothes

feeling really soft and lasting longer? Did we care about using a

quarter of the water? We spent about two weeks talking about this every

night at the dinner table. We'd get around to that old washer-dryer

discussion. And the talk was about design.

We ended up opting for these Miele appliances, made in Germany. They're

too expensive, but that's just because nobody buys them in this country.

They are really wonderfully made and one of the few products we've

bought over the last few years that we're all really happy about. These

guys really thought the process through. They did such a great job

designing these washers and dryers. I got more thrill out of them than I

have out of any piece of high tech in years.

yoohoo is fuckin disgusting. drank one once at bradley rotters first grade birthday party... never again
 
i remember everything... for example 8th grade science class and how you hated me. and tell elgato that he is right... i am "actually retarded" for not liking yoohoo..
 
What Kendama is the shit! Have you seen some of the most recent edits? It is cool and worthwhile teaches patients, hand eye coordination, and persistance.

 
i think lab partners in 6th.. but we sat at the same table in 8th with bharat and some other girl.. but 8th grade i remember some animosity from youz... its okay you are forgiven.
 
Are you retarted?

Okay, go get one. And try to get the ball on the dama. okay? Its fucking hard

haha

I mean try this shit.

Turner skis at my local hill and I talk to him a lot. Hes really good friends with my friends.

Hahahahah
 
no, that is a ball in a cup. a kendama is different.

kendama is just a fun thing to mess around with in your spare time. it's semi physically active, keeps your brain active, and helps hand eye coordination. if kendama seems so pointless, shouldn't you be spending your time doing something cooler or more productive than sitting on NS?

i kid, but you see my point. skiing isn't even that productive either, it's just a fun activity we enjoy doing. same with kendama.
 
i went into an Apple store for the first time yesterday. went on a macbook, clicked on google, some gay animation came up with a google searchbar in the middle, i typed in "porn", brought up a video of some chick getting her ass pounded, fullscreened it, and walked out.

 
You don't because you're a sad, lonely virgin. The idea that anyone could ever marry, let alone love you , is laughable you limp dick piece of shit.
 
honestly...this is ngs full of pre-pubesent teens and you have a pick name, you really cant bitch about shovinistic comments
 
first of all, it's spelled chauvinistic, but i think the word you were looking for was actually "sexist".
 
From now on I am banning anyone who spells "retarded" like this. I swear to fucking God, I'll do it.
 
Sorry to burst your bubble, in the LHC control room they almost exclusively use a custom version of Linux.

 
It's also a dumb comparison because you could just as easily show an entire editing suite for some huge production company running all macs then show some greasy fat kid play WoW on his PC.
 
A modified version of Scientific Linux which runs on RHEL. Probably just modified to support the driver hardware and integrated GPU/CPU processing to capture the minute details of the microsecond events. Possibly hardened Kernel, but I'm not sure why other than for security.
