There really isn’t much to say about the above picture except that I love it, and that you can get it as a $20 T-Shirt.

Attitude Chair Is Expensive And Looks Vaguely Familiar

Attitude-Chair

By Chris Scott Barr

When I was a kid, I always leaned back in my chair at the dinner table (I still do this, actually). This of course always got me yelled at. Now I wonder, if I were sitting in a chair that had an extra pair of legs for support, would my parents be so upset when I leaned back? I’ll probably never know, but if you’re a youth with $500 burning a hole in your pocket, then you can pick yourself up the Attitude Chair.

Alright, I have to say it. “Simpsons did it!” This 6-legged chair was invented by one Homer J Simpson (and probably a hundred other people). What’s crazy is that Voos Furniture is trying to sell it for $500. It’s just a damn chair with two extra legs screwed! Seriously, if you buy this thing, you must have some sort of brain damage and should not be trusted with this kind of money.

Install Windows From A Bootable USB Drive

WinToFlash

By Chris Scott Barr

With a rise in netbooks and a new version of Windows on the way, there are plenty of users who find themselves in a bit of a pickle. Sure, you can go out and buy an external optical drive just for installing the OS, but who wants to do that? Besides, discs are too easily scratched and otherwise damaged. So why not instead use a flash drive to load Windows?

WinToFlash looks as though it would be a great solution for those with a netbook, or any other computer that’s not equipped with an optical drive. Basically, this free utility transfers your Windows installation disc to a bootable USB drive. Then when you’re ready to install your OS, just pop it in (make some BIOS adjustments if your computer doesn’t boot from USB by default) and you’re on your way. If it works like they claim, I might just start loading Windows from a flash drive. I hate dealing with discs when I don’t really need to.
