The Silicon Teat
Consider the awesome possibilities for learning opened up by the simple home computer. With just a laptop and a high-speed internet connection, even the novice user can read the Greek philosophers, learn a foreign language, follow weather patterns on radar, investigate the evolution of species, hear music and watch dance from around the world – the options for self-betterment are almost limitless.
Good thing we’re getting away from all that! Around here, we spell “learning” B-O-R-I-N-G. We want fast action and cheap laughs, big explosions and jiggling breasts. Nothing brings the dumb like the ol’ boob tube. And the HP Pavilion M8430F 2.4Ghz, 4GB, 750GB, TV Tuner, Vista Home 64bit Desktop PC gives you a way to watch and make, creating a wider range of stupid crap than you ever dreamed possible.
It won’t matter if you’re watching a backyard rassler get hisself arrested or thrilling to America’s Funniest Laughing Baby Getting Hit By A Cat Leaping Off A Chair, the 4 GB PC2-6400 MB/sec 240 pin, DDR2 SDRAM will bring out every repugnant detail that the PCI Express x1 TV tuner card can offer. And if it’s your baby, cat or chair? You can save it with the 15-in-1 (4 slot) memory card reader. Upload it with the 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet or preserve it on disc with the 16X DVD (±)R/RW 12X RAM (±)R DL LightScribe SATA drive. Future stupid generations will thank you.
Computers aren’t just for smart people anymore. Think of the improvement this HP Pavilion will make in your life: instead of vegetating in front of the TV and rotting your brain with exploitative, superficial garbage, you can vegetate in front of the computer and rot your brain with exploitative, superficial garbage!
