I think it's time for some liquid energy. Starbucks here I come!!
A great site to toy around with to get your new HP Touchpad in tip top performance and pull all the extra MHz you can out of it. http://ping.fm/ydLbM
I know it seems like everyone is giving HP a tank on there WebOS operating system and the HP Touchpad. But in all reality, I messed around with my touchpad last night and I though the interface was quite nice. It was easy to use, it had quite a few options available and an OK assortment of Apps.. Even surprised there was GPS functionality built in. I was pliantly surprised it integrated with Apple's Mobile Me product, and I was able to quickly setup all my email and actually do things with it. It seems that there is no stand alone Youtube or Hulu apps, but who cares, you browse to the sites and everything works perfectly. It does have some speed issues, it seems to get over taxed if you try to do too much. But nothing different than a low end computer. I figure if they actually keep working on the WebOS and developing this portion or if someone can take advantage of Android or even just make WebOS OpenSource (Ideal Situation). Then it would be a pretty decent tablet for all the time use.

Poll - So if you got the HP Touchpad are you going to buy accessories? Charging dock, Bluetooth keyboard, cases, skins?
Just realized that best buy shipping means I can crack open the HP touchpad I've been hiding in my car. Without worries of lost Xmas gift.
Just got my Confirmation that my BestBuy online order went through for the HP Touchpad!.. Yippee! Its confirmed. I have a toy on the way!
For those who got a Touchpad.. Don't forget that you can over clock the unit from 1.2ghz to 1.7ghz. - Here's how: http://ping.fm/5EJKO

I got my HP home server up and backed up all data and tore out the drives. Now it's time to restore it and put it on eBay.
It seems that the aftermath of HP and it's decision to end it's WebOS enabled devices slowly continues. More companies clearing inventory.

It's enough time after the HP touchpad aftermath. So did you get yours? Scored 1 4 me.
Extremely happy I recovered the HP mediasmart server and have been backing data up from it for the last 24hrs. Ugh 7tb of data.
Heck yah!! Go to anywhere that sells the HP touchpad and will price match. Office depot had it for $129/$149 that's a discount of 400

These give you some nice options, especially if your USB Key Deprived and need somewhere to store your files. This will allow you to store and access those files no matter where you're at as long as you have an internet connected device. I'm sure there are plenty of mobile apps out there to help you access your files on your mobile device as well.

Concerned about security, you should be, its not always a good idea to trust your life let alone your data in someone else's hands. In case you do, just keep in mind, don't store anything you wouldn't want someone else to see on these sites. They still are owned and operated by another company, and the inevitable usually does happen. So good for homework, minor files, etc.. Not good for Social Security #'s, taxes, and other incriminating evidence.
The Sony Dash on sale at Buy.com today $79 - http://ping.fm/DlDz4 - I personally love my Sony Dash, its probably the best Alarm Clock made. I have numerous alarms setup. No need to set the alarm anymore, it automatically sets for you. The Dash also has built in internet audio streaming, video streaming, and tons of great apps you can download to install on it. It also has a weather tracking system on the main screen so you can see what the weather is going to be like before you even crawl out of bed. I've had mine for about a year now and no issues what so ever with it. I think once in that year it locked up, but I just unplugged in and plugged it back in and it was back up and running. Check it out.. Its definitely worth picking up. Especially if your a type that forgets to set your alarm before you go to bed.

Well, I've put some mods on my Old 82 Vw Rabbit Diesel.. They were all relatively inexpensive.. The original owner I bought it from turned up the injection pump.. Not bad.. It still yielded me around 42 - 43mpg.. - Then I put on those Flush No-Holes Racing Hub-Caps.. That made it even better.. I removed the Rear Bumper.. Its a big Wind Catch.. I then put on my homemade RAM Air intake.. I draw cold air near the ground and suck it up into the intake.. This modification allowed me to have more power gain a higher top speed and even allowed me to get better gas mileage.

When I first got the car I averaged 55mph.. It was a chore going up a hill, and I typically slowed down going up. Now with the mods, I average 70mph, I can climb the hill and increase speed as I do it.. And I get better mpgs.. Which I've been averaging 48mpg.. While hitting a blistering 70 to 75mph.. ;)

All in all I'm sure if I slowed myself down did 55mph again, I'd easily break the 50mpg mark..

Not bad for a car that was made in the 70's and early 80's.
