Google, Gogol, and Gonzo madness…

1. Google, it’s in the news.

2. Gogol Bordello is making perhaps some of the most inspired music i have heard in a very long time. Loud, Real, Sexual, Simply Rawsome.

NPR says, “I think it’s the best rock album of the decade. Period” Reviewer Robert Christgau

3. Signal vs. Noice blog is using Hunter S. Thompson’s Gonzo Sheriff as their avatar, jury is still out on that, i’m pretty sure it would piss HST off in a bad way.

New iMac Benchmarks: Santa Rosa Chipset Speed Tests. 24″models

24 inch iMac Performance via Primate Labs!

August 9th, 2007 Steve Jobs announced new iMacs on Tuesday and while I’m not sure I like the new enclosure, I do like the other improvements that come with the new iMacs like faster processors, more hard drive space, and the Santa Rosa chipset.

I thought I’d compare the performance of the latest 24-inch iMac against the previous generation of 24-inch iMacs using Geekbench 2. While I don’t have any results for the 24-inch iMac with the Core 2 Extreme processor right now, I’ll update this article once I receive results for the Core 2 Extreme processor.

Setup

• iMac (24-inch Mid 2007)
  • Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.40GHz
  • 2.00 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
  • Mac OS X 10.4.10 (Build 8R4031)
• iMac (24-inch)
  • Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.33GHz
  • 2.00 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
  • Mac OS X 10.4.10 (Build 8R2218)
• iMac (24-inch)
  • Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.16GHz
  • 2.00 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
  • Mac OS X 10.4.10 (Build 8R2218)

Primate Labs is reporting the baseline score, rather than the raw score, for each benchmark (where a score of 1000 is the score a Power Mac G5 1.6GHz would receive). Higher is better.

Installing & Using iLife 08 with an iMac: Troubleshooting Application.

(Jam out too a rare “Hey Jude” or Jimi while you read)

Whew…

iLife users only had to wait a year and a half for this one, luckily, it was well worth the wait. iLife 08 is the most drastic upgrade since… iLife 06. But still, iLife 06 is pretty dang neat and all for only $79.00 single user retail and $99.00 for 5 account family pack. (Go with the family pack in case you would like to purchase a G4 powerbook or want to sell your current mac.)

Wait, a G4… why would i want that? Because the prices are a little more down to earth on eBay than they are at the Apple store. iMacs… always debatable, they are truly pro-sumer these days and by the looks of the it 24 inch refurbished iMac is the best deal Apple offers with a full warranty.

The new 2.8 iMac with 500 gigs of storage and 2 gigs of RAM looks good too. Trust the video card upgrade is worth it alone, iMacs have been sorely lacking in this department, yet have still been usable, unlike the macbooks, which if you read my review from last week and simply, toys.

iDigress…

Oh yes, iLife 08 is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. iMovie alone will change the game

Top 10 Blog Ideas… Lindsay No Hands!, Life with Steve (Forbes) and A 200% Proof Dick Cheney.

In the spirit of FSJ and his outing as a Forbes editor who has gained international stardom in the blogging world. iThought i would throw together some ideas for other people that would like to entertain us all with pure fiction. iWould do it myself, but of course work for a living and so do not have the time.Here are 10 quick blog ideas i thought of in no particular order.

1. Cogswell Cog Daily Blog: A blog about work and the daily grind.

2. Life with Steve (Forbes): A blog about the musings of a billionaire on an island. Perhaps he’ll call media mogul Murdoch or Redstone, or perhaps he’ll have Philly Cream cheese flown in that day. The “whipper kind” that his personal kitchen doesn’t have and never seems to have.

3. Lindsay No Hands! A blog about just how goddamn crazy obsessed the paparazzi are about celebrities. It would be like cops, but with celebrities, you could see how they drive people nuts.

4. Bobby Diamond: A blog about how Billy Crystal stole all his characters and fame from Dustin “Screech” Diamond’s dad, Bobby Diamond. Follow father and son as Bobby writes hatching future plans with his Hollywood angst, perfect son, and capers so grandiose as to best the greatest of the Diamond’s former “glory days.”

5. 200% Proof Cheney: A journal about the true thoughts of our nation’s most powerful vice president, game hunter, and and covert moonshine distiller.

6. Letterman and his people. A “fanfiction” blog about the inner working of the 70′s educational show, the letter people. Please explore this from the “achoos” of Mrs. A, to the Manic Munching of Mr. M, there is certainly some explaining to do here. Adultery, Drugs, and general Debauchery. VIDEO.

So, what are a few more?
