It makes me sick how rich some of you people are, i asked for an ipod but i'm not getting one, the only thing im getting is 100 dollars to save up for an ipod.

I have no idea what I'll get, and I'm not overly worried. I'm more excited about getting two proper cooked meals, , having a nice relaxing break from gigging every other night and hoping that I get a chance to see my girlfriend!!!

But I am secretly hoping for a bottle of sheridans :) yumyum

Im asking for:

Mx1000 <-- Probably wont get.

Braun self-cleaning shaver <-- Will get definately.

New speakers, either Z5500 or Z5300e

Dell 1703FP <-- Will buy for myself if I can earn it before the 31st.

Logitech wireless controller and headset for Xbox. <-- will probably get.

I already got:

30" Toshiba Theatreview HDTV.

1 Year of HDTV digital cable.

I feel happy, but something is missing.

Two gift cards (Pizza Hut and Borders/Waldenbooks/Amazon.com)

A t-shirt

A collared shirt

$350 instead of the flat panel that got lost somewhere between here and massachusetts

For the first time my parents actually got more presents than my sister and I. I guess they deserve it though.

i'm looking forward ro stuffing my face. and having lots of rest for my bad legs.

but i'm also glad that the uk are going to use the millenium dome for something bloody good for one. over christmas it's getting used for the homless, they can learn stuff, get help and have a warm place to stay over the christmas period, im sure they also get some food. so at last something good is happening with it, even thou it would of been best to bulit a permanent building for the homeless with the money that went towards the dome

well I dont celebrate Christmas so I doubt I'll be getting any presents. :)

but who cares, the only two things I would somewhat want would be a Nintendo DS and a laptop (too expensive for something like a holiday anyway). And I'm not THAT crazy about the Nintendo DS.

Oh well. At least I've got my family.

Happy holidays, all.

I got to spend my Festivus(my xmas) with 14 of my closest friends and my Fiance(also got that for xmas ^_^)

We went out to eat the 14 of us to the olive garden and just had fun like we havent in a while. Its hard for us to all get together. One of my friends just recently purchased is 2004 WRX STI so taht was his gift. lol that ******. All in all i would say this is my best xmas ever, nothing like spending it with the people you care about. My family?!??!? what about them you say... Im not to sure where they are and it dun matter, my friends are my family. Merry Xmas everyone.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
