Griffin ends the show talking about the ASUS Eee PC 1000HE and how it has great battery life but how you might wait for the touchscreen Eee PC?

Sorry, I was busy reinstalling XP after Win 7 bricked the Berry. All is well now. Ha, I see what you have been doing lately. Well, without Google, I would be done. Toast. And so would you. Bye Bye YouTube haha. I wasn't effected.

we still post to the main site and have a nice audience there - granted not as vocal as the YouTube audience but it does exist - so i suppose i could live without Google.. :) I mean Yahoo, MSN, Ask are still around - you will eventually find good results in them if you try hard enough :)

Hey, I was just searching for a video on the 1000HE, are all of your/this-guy's videos like this? He seems crazy and informative - that's entertaining.

[dokeoake]

he looks kind of like eric mangini former head coach of the new york jets and current head coach of the cleveland browns.

I am SO excited for the 1000HE. I've got mine preordered... now I just wish I could hunt down a for sure date for shipment!

Great video, SweetGeekTV. You've convinced me to subscribe. :)

I just pre-ordered the 1000he yesterday. I think it's the best they'll be for a while other than the touch screen, and I just don't see myself needing a touch screen...

Yeah, I came across the Google problem. No big deal for me, really, but I had to copy and paste the links I was searching for into the URL bar to visit the web pages. Apparently, Google accidentally added the address "/" into the malware blacklist, and "/" encompasses every URL on the Internet. But really, if Google makes a mistake, 90% of the Internet-browsing world knows about it immediately.
