Kevin Rose, poster boy of 20 something geeks everywhere, face of Revision3, digg.com, and now pownce.com, former Tech TV personality, and Apple fanboy… has just bought a Falcon Northwest gaming rig.
I am not an obsessive fan of Rose’s, but defiantly a fan of his many endeavors. I would love to go out with him for a beer sometime when I get back to San Francisco should that ever be in the cards, but yeah, no marriage proposals coming form this geek girl. However, now I can up him a notch in coolness, because he has admitted on digg nation to buying a new gaming PC to run Crysis on.
That is cool news.
Its not because I care that he uses Apples, its because I get sick of seeing so many geeks out there in IPTV and Podcast world drinking the cool aid and pushing Apple like Stevie J’s farts smell like rosebuds. Yeah, they make some great products, but other people throw down just as hardcore in many sectors, and other even harder. I enjoy it when somebody is willing to play the field and indulge in a little forbidden fruit now and then.
I predict a trend in the future of the geek nation…
1. Apple sales will increase for laptops, tablets, and media devices.
2. Power user desktop sales will decrease.
The specs on Rose’s new system are.
Intel Quad Core 3.0 ghz
4 Gigabytes of Ram
32 Meg Cache Terabyte Hard Drive
2x Geforce 768 meg 8800 GTX cards setup in SLI. Thats 1.5 gigs of video memory.
Yeah thats about four times faster than my own home system, but whatever, eat me. I can dream.
you can watch the digg nation episode yourself here. Maybe I should start embedding TV shows I like here…. hmm… thats an idea.
Oh, and Alex Albrect, World of Warcraft Was never in style! But yeah, you can show me your crazy staff any time.
… and Kevin… no girls are into tree men.
