Chromebook Pixel

UPDATE:
Chromebook Pixel Order Page

Google introduces Chromebook Pixel.

The WiFi version ($1,299 U.S. and £1,049 U.K.) will start shipping next week and the LTE version ($1,449) will ship in the U.S. in April.

Yikes!

This Chromebook has the highest pixel density (239 pixels per inch) of any laptop screen on the market today. Packed with 4.3 million pixels, the display offers sharp text, vivid colors and extra-wide viewing angles. With a screen this rich and engaging, you want to reach out and touch it—so we added touch for a more immersive experience.

It’s noce to have the touchscreen, but I still can’t get over the price.

If you’re interested in a hands-on experience, you can visit select Best Buy (U.S.) and Currys PC World (U.K.) store locations.

I’ll check it out. Once again, $1,299 for a Chromebook?

Slayer, sans Dave Lombardo again.

UPDATE:
From Dave Lombardo’s Facebook Page

I tried rectifying it by letting my band mates know, and Tom and I hired auditors to figure out what happened, but I was denied access to detailed information and the necessary back up documents.

So Tom Araya and Dave Lombardo seemed to agree. Since Jeff Hanneman is still benched, I guess it’s up to Kerry King.

——-

Metal Hammer reports that Slayer will be performing without Dave Lombardo in Australia. Incendiary headline says:

Dave Lombardo Fired From Slayer?!

Metal Hammer also includes statement from Dave Lombardo on the breaking news. No official words yet from Slayer camp.

Slayer has been touring without Jeff Hanneman due to medical reason. Without Lombardo, only two original Slayer member on the stage. This might be an end to Slayer.
