Poke Poke
We gotta touch everything. It's just how we're designed.
What's that Michelangelo painting on that roof of the Sistine Chapel? Oh, yeah. Man trying to touch God with his finger. What's an ape going to do if you give it something new? Walk over and poke it. Between those two options lies pretty much every part of the human experience. It's an experience based mostly around touching things and seeing what happens.
You've probably already figured out where we're going with this, so we'll get right to the point: WITH THIS HP i7 TOUCHSCREEN LAPTOP YOU CAN NOW POKE THE WORLD! Use the 8GB DDR3L Memory to play some videos and poke your favorite actors! Use the 802.11ac Wireless to pull up a photo of a foreign country and poke a far-away land! Fire up the Beats Audio quad speakers/two subwoofers and poke at sound itself!
At Woot, we remember what it's like to be a baroque college student.
At Woot, we remember what it's like to be a baroque college student. Rats. Just ... so many rats.
All Hail Our New Reptile Overlords

Dell & The Wolf
In this writeup, the Dell 17" Laptop's 8GB DDR3 memory will be played by the flute. Like this:
Twiddlediddle DEET DEET DEET diddlediddle dee. Twiddlediddle DEET DEET DEET diddlediddle dee.
Now, are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin.
Early one morning, the Dell 17" Laptop awoke from sleep and went out into the program meadow. Its 8GB of DDR3 memory came blazing to life.
Twiddlediddle DEET DEET DEET diddlediddle dee. Twiddlediddle DEET DEET DEET diddlediddle dee. Tiddledwiddle tiddledwiddle tiddlediddle DEET!
Meanwhile, at the other side of the meadow, the 1TB SATA Hard Drive came sneaking in.

"Look out!" cried Grandfather USB 3.0. "That LED-Backlit display's back in the pond again!"
Dog lovers: could there be a better month than August to salute our canine companions? After all, August 10 is the day poor Rin Tin Tin died, and it’s the day Snoopy celebrates his birthday, in a 1968 Peanuts strip. Two weeks later, on August 26, it’s National Dog Day, according to the Animal Miracle Foundation & Network. To celebrate the dog days of summer, we’ve unleashed Jeopardy!’s Ken Jennings, who will correct some of man’s worst misconceptions about man’s best friend.
The Debunker: Is a Dog’s Mouth Really Cleaner Than Yours?
Happy Music Monday! Today Scott’s gathered a whole bunch of songs that weren’t actually on any albums, at least not at first. Remember, bootlegs and live recordings don’t count! Don’t worry, you’ll keep up.
This song, like many here, was a b-side from a 1966 Walker Brothers single. Back then nobody knew the guy who was singing this would eventually grow into a guy who’d be doing this. Go figure, right? Anyway, Archangel’s sort of the first hint of what was coming. And it was hidden on the back of something else.
We’ve got more great stuff you could easily have missed if you only collected the albums. See you after the jump!
Johann Sebastian Bach, arguably the greatest composer of all time, faces his greatest challenge: college life. His only hope of being popular is with the guidance of an initially-nerdy-then-suddenly-drop-dead-gorgeous website called Woot.com. Will he succeed on the road to popularity? Will Woot.com change his tune? Can money really buy happiness? The answer to the last one is yes.
Woot is celebrating Bach To School with deals over at Sellout and through a series of helpful/unhelpful videos featuring our good pal J.S. Bach. Whether you're a Well-Tempered Clavier or a total Fugue-up, you'll want to fill your shopping cart with items like...
No, you're not seeing things. Out of our desperate attempt to be rich love for giving you options, we've added a little something extra for today. Consider it a gift to us from your wallet to all of you who were hoping for something like this today. It's your chance to help us look good to our bosses get a little something extra for yourself, okay? Thank you You're welcome.
Dirty Job
There are two sides to every great cause. Which side are you on?
"Hey Chief! What's the good word?"
Ugh. Ginger's at it again. This time she's chained herself to the damn thing. I have to go out there and talk her down.
"Oh boy. Good luck with that."
Thanks.
MOMENTS LATER, OUTSIDE ...
"Well look who decided to show up! To what do we owe this special honor, Chief?"
Ms. Vitis, you know why I'm here. Now I'm going to need you to step away so these boys can do their jobs.
"And YOU know I'm NOT GOING ANYWHERE! You see this plaque? That's something special. It's been here for decades! There's no way I'm going to let those guys come in here and just wipe it out!"
No Mist
A reasonable amount of backup power corrupts reasonably. Which isn't too hard to deal with, overall.
Ah, my people! I, General Lee Anizeguy welcome you on this first day of the new regime! With the help of my Gorilla army, I and my men survived in the wild for at least a full cycle longer. And today, we finally have the power we deserved! Our first act... to find a plug!
Because, really, that's what this was all about. Not that we didn't love being Gorilla warriors out there in leafy forest. It was really relaxing to just sit by the pond and check email, knowing that our tablets and smartphones were both getting charged at the same time. I even made use of the included Lightning-to-micro adapter to charge my iDevice. It was great! Like a little vacation!
