Summer and broken stuff
So, I’m slightly pissed off at the moment (more like WTFRAGE). Why is that?
1) Above average temperatures in Toronto. We need a thunderstorm to cool things down. Fast.
2) My desktop PC is out of commission for about two weeks or so while the GPU gets replaced. What does this mean? No more owning noobs in TF2 until the end of July, no more shooting zombies in the face in L4D2. :(
What happened to the GPU?
Basically the cooling system aka the fan died. I realized this when L4D2 started getting horrible framerates. I open up GPU-Z and the sensor is reporting 104 degrees celsius. Ouch! I open up the case to check and the fan was not running at all.
Apparently the warranty for that PC expires in 3 days. Kind of cutting it close there.
TL;DR version of story
Its friggin’ hot. And my PC is dead.
Apple keynote fail. Google keynote fail. It's all good.

After another awkward moment or two, Steve simply moved on with the keynote. I imagined that at that very moment, backstage, someone was distributing gorgeous Jonny Ive-designed seppuku knives made from glass and steel to the tech crew.
I haven’t seen Google’s meltdown — only heard about it from the Internet — but judging from the hoops designers in Mountain View go through to explain which shade of blue to go for, saying that this is an indication of the different corporate cultures in these two companies might not be that much of a stretch.
Seppuku knives LOL.
And there was a Google keynote fail?
