The Padres lost to the Rockies in their one-game tie-breaker for the wild-card spot. I'm beginning to wonder if that was a fluke. The Phillies, and Diamondbacks would have faced the best pitching in the NL (Padres) and maybe in all of MLB. I don't know how the Padres offense would have been but they wouldn't have allowed many runs (certainly not as many as the Rockies have given up.) Maybe it was the lay-off, we will never be able to say with certainty, but this just doesn't look like a worthy NLCS team right now. I expected there to be more of a battle; its the World Series.

MLB is ****ed at Arod for announcing his decision when he did. I don't blame them. Between not even giving the Yanks a chance to talk to him and trying to steal the spotlight away from the most important time for baseball, he should feel ashamed. What a selfish ******. Well, let me refrain a bit, since I do think Boras is just as much to blame for all of this, but they both should realize what they did only served to upset just about everyone else.

I'm siding with Arod on this one. I would've opted out too. The way the Yankees and the fans treated him over the years helped him make his decision (and the indecision between Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettite and Jorge Posada).

Makes you wonder... Mike Lowell is a free agent now, guess the Yankees will offer him a nice juicy contract?

    • New Surface Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 leaks ahead of announcement

      By dirtyvu · Posted

      I'm hoping with the Surface Pro 12, I can use either USB-C for my Xreal One Pro glasses. With my Surface Pro 11 OLED X Elite, I have to plug them into the top port. The bottom port will power it, but nothing shows on the screen. Maybe it's my setting. When I plug in the glasses, I have it output only to the glasses. So maybe I need to turn on both displays with it in the top port, then switch the glasses to the bottom port and set it to output only to the glasses. And then hopefully Windows remembers the settings for either the top port and bottom port (one of the awesome features of Windows where it remembers the exact configuration when plugging in external monitors.

      Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!

      wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.
