Weven: Let's all be honest
-
How many of you are holding (perhaps secretly, so as not to embarrass yourself) a Windows 7 launch party? C'mon, I know you're out there. Somewhere. Secretly lusting after the goodness in Weven, and salivating at the thought of being able to foist its moist chewy goodness (like a cake!) on your unsuspecting friends!

I don't know if he's actually hosting a party but one of my co-workers husband did apply and got a party kit. :rolleyes: edit: :sigh:

Couple guys here at the office signed up and were selected to host a party. I know one of them already has 17 confirmed, and he plans on giving away his signed copy of W7. Oh, yea, in case you didn't know, if you're selected to Host a party, you get a personally signed copy of Windows 7 Ultimate by Ballmer. No. That's not a joke.

Yeah I saw that this morning, someone at work was talking about the new mouse they brought out yesterday. Looks pretty nice, hassle free, plug-in and go. Even the 21 inch is nice and costs about $100 *less* than the comparable model at Dell!

You're from Canada, so i assume the "whatever happens here" involves Moose and Bacon.

:-O Here's my justification: I found it as more of an excuse to invite a few of my buddies home and have a nice time. And yeah, the shiny new ultimate edition (actually signature edition - whatever it means) is waiting in the box. And this laptop is going to arrive in a week with "Free DOS"... I could use a license, ya know? :)

I've been waiting for an iMac update (the Mac fanbois and rumor sites have been predicting it for a few months). I don't update/upgrade home PCs very often - approx every 4-5 years so I may just go nuts and get the 27" quad. I think I'll stop by an Apple store to see the screen and Magic Mouse in action first.

:laugh: :laugh: Your reply is inadvertently hilarious because "bacon" is an in joke amongst our friends that I can't even begin to describe in a kid sister friendly way on this message board. As for moose there's none around here unless they're in a zoo somewhere, you'd have to drive an hour, take a ferry for an hour then drive about 5 more hours to even get to a place where there's a possibility of seeing a moose. However I might be able to come up with something kinky that we can refer to as a "moose". ;)

Many, many years ago in a browser far, far away (NetScape) a friend of mine found an **ahem** interesting chat room. One evening one of the young ladies asked him if he was a SALMON. As he was telling me about this escapade, I immediately quipped "Ah", "Sad And Lonely Man On t'Net" (laughs all round), but it turned out that it referred to the practice of wrapping smoked salmon round a certain part of the male anatomy before ..... well, you know. :-O Why they though this was a good thing to do, I know not. Perhaps they were practising to become lesbians and were trying to acquire a taste for it. :-D

Yea, I would guess that's the real reason ... that ... and the free Windows stuff.

The only part of that that's piqued my interest is that someone finally selling a panel with a resolution between 1920x1200 and 2560x1600; even if IMO 2304/1440 would have been a more logical slot to insert an in between size; or if 16:9 was an absolute requirement something around 2304/1296. NTM that as a company that supports content producers apple should be selling 16:10's. The reason PC widescreens were 16:10 at the same time that TV was going 16:9 was so that the video editor types could view stuff at full width and still have room for all their toolbars, etc on either side of the clip.

Yes, I'm here at work, with my head on my desk, weeping at the cruel injustice of the world, where I am inviteless at Weven's coming out party. Truly there is no more sad soul than mine on this beautiful NYC day.

Bah, it's not THAT nice out... (Trying to justify sitting around in my office in midtown instead of enjoying the day) Anyway... I'd probably go to a Weven party, just because I have absolutely nothing better to do, and need something to laugh at... I need to laugh all I can now, because my free upgrade is coming in a couple weeks.

How you'd score the free upgrade?

Bought a new quad-core rig a couple months ago with Vista preinstalled... It bluescreens at least once a day, dumps out of games on a regular basis, and sometimes brings itself up from hibernate mode in the middle of the night. And I haven't even installed a development environment or all of my other crap yet... All it has is Steam and Impulse with some games, and Firefox (Still using my XP box for everything else for the moment).

but when it was announced, I realized I would have to actually clean my house... And I wasn't sure if I really wanted a bunch of people I didn't know in my newly cleaned house... As it turns out, I ended up cleaning it anyway but I still don't want people I don't know (and probably don't want to know) in my house.

They didn't hold a launch event in my town. They did for Vista, Office 2007, VS 2005 and VS 2008 and all were packed, so I don't understand the resistance.

I applied to host one. Not because I was actually going to host one, but because they send you a free copy of Win7 ultimate. I got rejected. I wonder if somehow they knew. :laugh:

A co-worker has one. She got a free 7 copy (good one at that) and stuff for a party. The only requirement is that 7 be shown during the party. So she and her husband now have an excuse to throw a party and supplies. Their PCs will be turned on so we can look at 7 while watching movies, eating and generally being foolish. I shouldn't say we, I couldn't find a sitter. :(
