Unboxing Power Mac G5

The Specs

HDD: 250GB SATA
RAM: 4GB DDR
CPU: 2.0GHz (Dual Core) 
DVD-RW Super Drive
GeForce FX 5200 (Will upgrade if possible)
OS: OSX Tiger 10.4.8

What is the power mac G5? Well it was a top of the line computer back in its day. Using a 64-bit power processor (which has been discontinued and switched with a Intel processor) there was no limitations on what you could do! But seeing as this in a six year old computer, there are now limitations for what you can do. Would I recommend this computer to you? Yes and no. I will be doing a weekly usage to see if it is something you would get your money’s worth. So I will be able to answer that question shortly.

So far, I was able to install adobe creative suite and get everything to work. I wasn't too sure if CS5 would work, so I installed CS3. Everything runs amazingly smooth; however safari keeps closing on YouTube’s main page. But if I go to a channel, everything works out. All in all, I do recommend this computer, however it is considerably cheap (being an old computer) but you can find these computers on eBay for a couple hundred dollars. Some come with Leopard, some do not.

Thank you for watching/reading. If you like this video you can find more at http://www.youtube.com/user/thedeskgeek

Bunt - A New Dictionary

These days if you hear a word you don't know that's not in your standard dictionary, you go to Urban Dictionary or Google and type it in to find out what it is. The problem with sites like Urban Dictionary is that they have too many ads, their themes are cluttered and they don't make it easy to share the funny and well sometimes... interesting words you find on there with your friends. That's where Bunt comes in.

Bunt is a new social dictionary that aims to fix all the problems mentioned above. You'll notice Bunt has a nice, clean interface that whose simplicity is comparable to Twitter. Users can share words they find or create with the click of a button to Facebook and Twitter.
