BOXE ? WBA / SUPER-LEGERS (F) : Mathis se défait de Lamare

BOXE ? WBA / SUPER-LEGERS (F) : : Mathis se défait de LamareLongtemps en concurrence avec Myriam Lamare, Anne-Sophie Mathis s?est débarrassée de sa rivale vendredi à Marseille. L’étranger lui tend désormais les bras. Arnould n’a lui pas pesé bien lourd face à Sidorenko.

BOXE / MYRIAM LAMARE : « Difficile de vivre de la boxe »

BOXE / MYRIAM LAMARE : : « Difficile de vivre de la boxe »Dans un univers masculin, la cogneuse du « 9-3 » a dû jouer des coudes pour imposer son style. Aujourd?hui, Myriam Lamare, qui défie Mathis vendredi, ceinture WBA des super-légers en jeu, a réussi son pari : changer les mentalités.

One Million Visitors

Wow, I pay so little attention to this blog at the moment, that I didn’t notice my visitor count rolling over 1 million. It must have done so at least a couple of weeks ago. Update I checked and it was May 30th at approximately 15:47 GMT and it looks like it was a visitor from the Netherlands.

My page view counter is nearly at 10 million too.

Happy Birthday Sue

Happy Birthday Sue!

Lots of love,

Systemax Pursuit 4155 (Vista)

Systemax offers a widescreen display and built-in webcam for less than $1,000, but this Vista refresh feels a bit stale.

A newly revamped version of the Systemax Pursuit 4155 offers both Vista Ultimate and an Intel Core 2 Duo processor for a reasonable price. This 15.4-inch system features a 1.6-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB of memory, and a skimpy 60GB hard drive. Having a webcam on board helps this notebook stand out from the budget crowd, but otherwise it’s not very compelling.

Olympus Stylus 770 SW

You’ll never have to worry about breaking this compact and nearly indestructible shooter.

Olympus’ latest rugged digital camera, the Stylus 770 SW, almost dares you to try to break it. It’s waterproof as deep as 33 feet, resistant to drops of up to five feet, won’t freeze in temperatures warmer than 14 degrees Fahrenheit, and can withstand up to 220 pounds of pressure. We put the previous version, the 720 SW, through the ringer last July. One year later, we’re pleased to report that the refresh of this digicam is even tougher. Plus, it has a brighter display and improved picture quality.

Google Personalized Home Page

Like most things Google, this personal page is clean, simple, and very text-heavy.

Like most things Google, this personal page is clean, simple, and very text-heavy. Upon sign-in, you can populate a basic page by ticking check boxes for items such as your Google Calendar and Gmail, bookmarks, local news, movie listings, and even games. Google uses multiple tabs to make your homepage into more of a file folder of resources to which you subscribe. Most of the sources are simple RSS feeds, but this approach works very well. Google lets you search for feeds in the search box to add to the page. Recently, Google added the ability to telescope headlines out to reveal the lead paragraph of text. You can browse news details without even clicking through to the source.

Dell Latitude D531

This business notebook provides good performance, durability, and security for the price, along with excellent battery life.

The Dell Latitude D531 isn’t the fastest or sexiest laptop on the market, but it does deliver what business buyers crave most: configurability, long battery life, and good value. This six-pound mainstream portable is worth a look for corporations and growing businesses that appreciate a stable platform and common parts (battery, AC adapter, bay devices, and docking solutions for D531 are the same as for all the other D-series models) but are tired of paying north of $2,000 per machine for a decently equipped model.

Rock Xtreme 770 - Intel’s Santa Rosa Meets DX10 Graphics

Rock introduces the Xtreme 770 which carries the new
Intel’s Santa Rosa mobile processor. If this wasn’t
important enough it also has DX10 Graphics which
many serious gamers were waiting for in their
ultimate dream machine.

Not to get too carried away here, most serious gamers
also know Rock is just one of many Clevo re-sellers
using the new Clevo M570RU. Clevo is the large Taiwanese
computer maker that specializes in laptops. Clevo
ships out these models and they’re dressed up,
re-branded and sold thru Alienware, VoodooPC, Saga,
Rock and many more high profile resellers.

This shouldn’t turn off potential buyers as Clevo
is well known for making the best of the best in
laptops. Good top quality builds and firms like
Alienware and Rock put their unique stamp and designs
onto these machines.

Rock has been doing this for over 15 years and has
earned a good reputation for producing some of the
fastest gamers on the market, especially in Europe
where it is located.

The new Rock Xtreme 770 is no different. This
new Intel Centrino Duo (Santa Rosa) mobile
processor  2.4HHz 4MB Cache, 800MHz, comes with
NVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT 512MB (up to 4GB DDR2
800MHz memory) and 160GB 7200rpm SATA.

Should be on every serious gamer’s list for the
ultimate gaming machine.
