Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
The temperature keeps rising for the past 4 days, and today is the hottest day yet as it reaches triple digit Fahrenheit. As a matter of fact, one laptop of mine was overheating; even with the cooling pad on. OK, I don’t have air conditioning at home, and it’s a day off; no comfy air-conditioned room for me today.
Surprisingly, the MacBook Pro survived the heat. Granted, I turned up the fan speed using smcFanControl to the Max!

The news broke earlier today that Taiwan-based computer maker Acer will be acquiring Gateway Computer.
I have been purchasing Gateway computers for the past two years and happy with their service. On the other hand, I don’t really like Acer-branded computers for numbers of reasons. They are mostly personal reasons. For example, Acer shipped their computers running Windows XP with FAT-32 file format. Their computer design is far from being great.
Anyway, I currently have a pretty good business relation with Gateway, and I hope that it continues. Gateway has just recently moved portions of their assembly factory back into the United States. The latest computer I purchased direct from Gateway was assembled in the US.
By acquiring Gateway and its subsidiary, Acer is now the third largest PC company in the world.
