Computers for girls!

[sabotabby]

Seriously? Seriously?

Much as I would like it if my new MacBook Pro came in pink*, I vastly prefer functionality to the ability to track my carb intake (what? seriously?).

Speaking of which, I got a MacBook Pro! What should I name it?

* Kidding. Silver goes with everything, including the Ministry of Culture.

It's amazing we can type, what with our nails and inability to rotate three-dimensional objects in our heads.

Ooooh, you got a new toy.

I have very little hope of knowing appropriate socialist references, so I'm thinking you should name it Nano-Miss-Negativity.

[sabotabby]

Too long.

Mac Tonite?

(they say that the essence of humour is reincorporation)

Nanotabby?

Silver, and it has 4GB of RAM and a 2.93GHz processor.

Call it Hamas_Vault!! It'll be hilarious when you're forced to show how it works when you take it across the border.

The "Hammer of the Levant" is more subtle. :P

Psst! Remember when I posted about this? You could call it Ralph. Or Hunter.

[rohmie.livejournal.com]

Or this one.

When you ask seriously?, don't just blame the advertisers. In the retail business, I find that there are few things that drive traffic as much as the affirmation of one's gender identity. Of course, that didn't come from nowhere, but...

If it doesn't have anything to do with laundry, I'm just not interested!

MacTabby.
SaboBook.
Dialectic MacTerialism.

I'll stop now. I suspect I am getting pathetic.
I named my laptop Ursula after Ursula Andress, so I may be the wrong person to ask :P

I read an article about this a few days ago on Fark. Apparently Dell isn't the only one doing this crap. HP followed the same "computers are fashion" with:

"Tired of sacrificing glamour for digital accessories? Now you can have both: fashion and cool technology," HP says on its Web site. "HP and Vivienne Tam present the world's first designer digital clutch: the Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition."

-----------------

Of course I read that and said I'd rather have a RIVER Tam edition computer instead.

Oh, and for those who claim [citation needed], here.

I named mine jackson.

The fun thing about naming your electronics is everyone in earshot thinks you are talking about your genitalia.

Off topic, but vaguely related to a previous post of yours on your sablets.
