I got nothing else to do. I figure I might as well do something useful.

I just started watching this, and we can all like hot *****..cats on fire..

Also Blue shoes for Kevin, and a Macbook Pro I assume, or a Powerbook.

So did Apple send there favorite "fanboy" a freaking big ass macbook pro finally to compete with Alex's FNW PC?? Still got the love for ya Kevin, I would go Mac if I could afford one!:cool:

[bayareaking510]

Congrats on Kevin's new MacBook pro... 4GB of ram..jeez! That's a $750 upgrade from the 2GB ram

Unless he did it himself...

[travislopes]

What was with that pretty noticeable edit toward the end of the show where they were talking about the people who donated for this week's beer?

[bayareaking510]

Unless he did it himself...

ah..yeah, he probably did

[damnlife]

Damn I loved Mr. Wizard....What geek didn't grow up watching him. May he show the angels all of those wonderful science experiments!

[damnlife]

I have to say Safari is a helluva quick startup for a browser even on windows. The one thing I like about it. I mean it is smoking quick to open. But yeah doesn't give the user customization of firefox. All though firefox with all its extension goodness is a freaking memory hogg!

[damnlife]

Damn I'm going to miss Bob Barker, I grew up on the Price is Right. That Mofo did it for longer than I thought though. He will go down in game show history! Is everyone on vacation this wknd? No one is posting like usual on a Sat. night here.

[chuckles]

I am still trying to get over being ripped off by KFC. :( I ordered a two piece meal and they only gave me a single piece. I think that lady behind the counter hates me or something. :( That must be it. I cannot imagine that she mess up with counting to two. That would be really hard to do..

Popeyes from now on!!

-chuckles-

[damnlife]

Now see that was a classic Diggnation episode. Very relaxed and very cool! I'm glad that things are going that way after 100. How can I win the speaker set since I don't have boobs! I'm a little disappointed about that. ;)

-chuckles-

Are you from the south Chuckles? I grew up in the town where the original KFC started. So if you need me to talk to the corneal I will. Oh wait he's dead :( hmmm sorry to hear you got ripped off.

[damnlife]

oh wait says your from San Fran....they have KFC there? Couldn't imagine that town having one.

[chuckles]

Tons and tons of KFC in San Francisco. None of which will get a dime from me again.

-chuckles-

[g33k0ft3ch]

Slow night tonight, but can you customize your shoes to be like Kevin's? Those are really cool.

Also, I am not the only one I know who bought a new Macbook Pro! Woo.

[sqlover]

That was a hilarious episode. The cat part was fantastic. I watched it a few times. I saw it's reflection in Alex's laptop which caught me off guard a couple of times.

Noticed the edit. It was probably something nondescript like someone at the door or something lame. That or...shit...I bet aliens took over their bodies.

[furkle]

Wasn't that private browsing thing announced for Firefox 3 announced like months ago? Before any of this Safari stuff.

[kingkilr]

I thought Kevin said that when he gets a new Macbook (pro) that he would give away the old one?

^ Private browser for FF :P

[vincent12234]

Very good episode this week, alot of laughs, great episode and nice new laptop, just overall a fun episode.

[rowlodge]

more cat interviews or dropbys...my cats name was sandy ,she's dead now.

[polarjammy]

It was fun seeing the cat run by on Alex's laptop. I saw it run by 5 times. Good episode though.

[metalworker]

Is that an 17"inch screen on that mbp?

[popltree2]

Is that an 17"inch screen on that mbp?

Nope, 15". I think Alex has a 17" and the 15" are the only ones with the LED backlite I believe.

[tokenuser]

OFF TOPIC: tokenuser : CAPTION JACK!! nice to see the quote. Was soo happy to see him back in Dr Who yesterday!If you like Capt Jack - you have to watch Torchwood. Not looking good for a US network though :(

Wasn't that private browsing thing announced for Firefox 3 announced like months ago? Before any of this Safari stuff.

I bought my first mac in July 2006 and the private browsing feature has always been there. It's not a new Safari feature, it's just one that general windows users didn't know about.

"there was a lot of hot *****..."

Hey, I have boobs. Maybe we can put together some collaborative effort. You be the brains, I'll have the chest. It's genius.

What was the running time of episode 102?

I downloaded the xvid large (379mb). It stopped around the 38/39 minute mark when they were talking about the Digg Button.

[therage800]

It is 45:25

[stuartea]

Have to agree, menumeters shows Firefox just eating my processor. Safari is just a much leaner and faster browser.

For customising stuff, try: http://pimpmysafari.com

[jivetrky]

I really liked this episode. It was like old Alex and Kevin again. It seemed to me that lately they were bickering a lot and stuff, as if they were getting tired of each other. The MS/Apple fights were getting REALLY old.

I just hope it stays like this!

[njshadow]

I also think it's because the stories in Episode 102 were just downright awesome.
