I found this on Digg yesterday, and I found this quite amusing.  We all (geeks) at one point or another wonder where Google gets their almost unlimited amount of storage space, better yet we all want to know where Google keep their unlimited supply money.  This is one of my top 10 favorite The Joy of Tech comics to date.


If anyone knows if Google has a money fountain in the main lobby please send the link to the picture.

I've seen this Mac mini Super Nintendo mod a while back.  Today I was surfing the net and I just happened to come across it once again.  This picture makes me think back on how far we have came since the beginning of the consoles.  We came from pong to something that looks almost realistic.  Our computers now days have emulators that can emulate the consoles of our childhood and all the games that where ever made for it.  This makes me think what the future could hold for computing if one day we can emulate the consoles of today and have enough room for all the games ever made for them.  Looking towards the future we still all imagine that virtual reality is on the way.  I see virtual reality to be more like the Star Trek version of virtual reality (the Holodeck), then most people's idea of virtual reality which is the helmet version.  I'm waiting to see what future has in store.
