An expectant geek’s most favorite words
Since we covered an expectant geek’s least favorite word or phrase yesterday, it’s only fair to highlight the most favorite. Mine is shown in the UPS tracking pic above… looks like Samwise the Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium should be here soon. I’d also add words and phrases like: “free overnight delivery”, “closeout price”, “extra battery included”, and “no contract required”. What’s missing from the list?

Don’t forget the uber key favorite phrase “in stock”.
“Kevin will pay for it.”
ROTF…!
That’s the exact same email I got on my phone when my sister, who is a midwife, had to go and deliver a baby. That was at Horsham near Gatwick airport though.
Probably not the same at all.
My favorite phrase- “would you like to evaluate our gadget Uber-UMPC?”
James –
THAT’S my favorite phrase! :D Working on my first laptop review this weekend! :D
John in Norway: it’s time to come clean. You know that neighbor you never seem to see that lives a few doors down? That’s me. ;)
“guaranteed overnight delivery or else [item] for free per day”
I am hitting refresh once in a while today as well, as my new VAIO TZ with SSD drive is Out for Delivery too. On Monday VAIO UX490 is coming – I think I will have TZ and UX race and see which one boots up quicker (both has the same SSD drives of 48 GB). Shipping to my business address is the best thing, as FedEx and UPS unloads there first thing in the morning and I can get my hands on stuff by 10am.
L8er!
