Don't do it, it's a scam, they're just trying to take all of your money! They'll give you more viruses!
I suggest using a 33% hydrochloric acid solution instead. Gives you a much cleaner board.
Apple confirmed the livestream.
After spending about a fortnight trying to help my dad install linux on a computer without anything breaking, we've finally managed to assemble powerful enough hardware to actually get both a desktop and XBMC working. This is thanks to some dumpster diving he did while away at the national office for his work a couple of days ago (technically he got it out of a pile of computers queued for being sent to the recycling centre, but it was still something abandoned). Before he found this computer, he was going to buy a Gigabyte Brix, and then just have something that worked.
So now I have to help him run stuff on:
32-bit KDE Mint
64-bit Pentium 4 @~3 GHz
2GB DDR (maybe DDR2)
HD 5450 that was earmarked for another computer.
This is after having limited success with many other GPUs, namely a Radeon 9250, which didn't fully support the desktop he wanted, and couldn't run XBMC, a Radeon HD 4350 that we knew was broken, which booted and displayed major artifacts, and then wouldn't load the desktop, an nVidia Quadro FX 1400, which initially crashed horribly, then after meddling with it (I took off the heatsync to find out what the chip was, as the sticker was gone, and then I put it back on with MX-4) worked a little (it booted, but any GUI was missing bits and was basically unusable, but we managed to install KDE Mint) and after installing proprietary drivers worked perfectly, except XBMC's menus worked at about a frame every 30 seconds. I'm not sure what he expects to use this machine for, but at least he's managed to get some music to stream from another computer without anything crashing, or any music not being displayed.
Just get a used C2D system on ebay/craigslist. People are giving these things away like candy.
I have a used C2Q system if you want it. Cheap price, great condition considering that I upgraded the RAM, HDD, Power Supply, CPU, and GPU to newer parts a year or so ago to try and keep it up with Dolphin/PCSX2

Also, I broke the strap off the watch, so that didn't help it be used, and back when I was 13, an iPod touch instantly made you the most popular person around.

I didn't start using my iPod touch (which is still Gen 2 :p, haven't upgraded, no need) until my 2nd year of college. My wrists need to be free, I can't imagine wearing one again.
have you guys ever seen these fantastic watches?

If only I had disposable money to throw at them.......Curse you Steam and Nintendo
Well, bye Anand.... Have a good time at apple (supposedly).
Everything sort of works now, except we've not got the power to watch HD video. He's debating spending about £5 on a Pentium D in the hopes it'll be adequate. We have another system with the same kind of spec of Pentium D, so he's going to test that first, unless he's being stupid.
Well, there's an article telling you exactly what they did. So you could always look at that to find out what they did.
