of course Steve Jobs owns a PC. He personally pisses on every product apple sells and he doesn't want to stain his million dollar rug.

this is kendama... like seriously i understand that thorne does it and it gets the kendama word out there and kids want to try it cuz he does it. But seriously its ball in a cup. Wouldn't you rather spend time getting good at something cooler or more productive? I may be too old but its one of the most ridiculous things i see on ns.

PC = personal computer. Yes, I'm sure Jobs DOES own a pc, but one of the brand "Apple" which is also a PC. That you have all bought into the intentional marketing scheme that brands Apple as somehow separate from all other PC's is proof that you are gullible sheep, and you should be put to death swiftly.

Steve Jobs about the good old Miele washing machines

Is there anything well designed today that inspires you?

Design is not limited to fancy new gadgets. Our family just bought a new washing machine and dryer. We didn't have a very good one so we spent a little time looking at them. It turns out that the Americans make washers and dryers all wrong. The Europeans make them much better - but they take twice as long to do clothes! It turns out that they wash them with about a quarter as much water and your clothes end up with a lot less detergent on them. Most important, they don't trash your clothes. They use a lot less soap, a lot less water, but they come out much cleaner, much softer, and they last a lot longer.

We spent some time in our family talking about what's the trade-off we want to make. We ended up talking a lot about design, but also about the values of our family. Did we care most about getting our wash done in an hour versus an hour and a half? Or did we care most about our clothes feeling really soft and lasting longer? Did we care about using a quarter of the water? We spent about two weeks talking about this every night at the dinner table. We'd get around to that old washer-dryer discussion. And the talk was about design.

We ended up opting for these Miele appliances, made in Germany. They're too expensive, but that's just because nobody buys them in this country. They are really wonderfully made and one of the few products we've bought over the last few years that we're all really happy about. These guys really thought the process through. They did such a great job designing these washers and dryers. I got more thrill out of them than I have out of any piece of high tech in years.

What Kendama is the shit! Have you seen some of the most recent edits? It is cool and worthwhile teaches patients, hand eye coordination, and persistance.

no, that is a ball in a cup. a kendama is different.



kendama is just a fun thing to mess around with in your spare time. it's semi physically active, keeps your brain active, and helps hand eye coordination. if kendama seems so pointless, shouldn't you be spending your time doing something cooler or more productive than sitting on NS?

i kid, but you see my point. skiing isn't even that productive either, it's just a fun activity we enjoy doing. same with kendama.

You don't because you're a sad, lonely virgin. The idea that anyone could ever marry, let alone love you , is laughable you limp dick piece of shit.

Sorry to burst your bubble, in the LHC control room they almost exclusively use a custom version of Linux.

It's also a dumb comparison because you could just as easily show an entire editing suite for some huge production company running all macs then show some greasy fat kid play WoW on his PC.

A modified version of Scientific Linux which runs on RHEL. Probably just modified to support the driver hardware and integrated GPU/CPU processing to capture the minute details of the microsecond events. Possibly hardened Kernel, but I'm not sure why other than for security.
