One of the only computer builders to make cool looking systems. Even pricier than Mac and occasionaly the same system can be built by selecting a cheaper model and adding the extra stuff as options, but still totaling less.
Stunning cases and the first builder to offer liquid cooling on desktops or replacable graphics cards in laptops. They even respray mice and keyboards to match their cases.
Oh yeah, the coolest thing; the eyes on them change color to let you know the battery status. Awesome.

He bought an Alienware laptop for the lan party and all the jealous 1337 nerds shunned him like a Mac user.
You can always buy a cheap one and put a really high-end graphics card in later.

Get the Alienwaremug. 1. International Business Machines
2. Big Blue
The creators of the BIOS system most computers are based around. Unfortunately arrogant enough to publish their BIOS code in a context akin to saying, "Look, this is how it's done. If you do it in a similar way we'll know where you got it from."
Phoenix Technologies where the first to successfully cheat the challenge; one team of scientists simply worked directly on the IBM BIOS and made an exhaustive table of commands and responses, another team who had no knowledge of IBMs existing code were given the table to write a new BIOS.
This is how IBM lost their monopoly on PC design, how the first buyers of Phoenix BIOS, Compaq placed themselves on the market, and generally a nice example of David and Goliath.

The IBM BIOS standard becoming ripped off has both advanced compatibility and held back the market at once, but at least it's basically open-source.

Get the IBMmug. The name of a boutique in Los Angeles that became so infamous that it became a dictionary word, although I've yet to find it in a dictionary.
A book by Bret Easton Ellis about Victor, a delsuional youth who can't work what's going on or where he is. Essentially a made up world of glamor. The title is based around the idea of fake becoming reality, a bit like MTV. Naturally Victor's been on MTV, trouble is he doesn't seem to know when he's on it.
Awesome. Cryptic. Has been called the book of the 90s.

Get the Glamoramamug. Always available at bars, both over the counter as a soft drink or mixer and everywhere from the guest lounge to the toilets.
Often the word media or media bar means coke freindly, due to the common opinion that any person working in the media profession is a coke user.

Man at bar: "Vodka and coke please, barkeep".
Barman "Do you want ice in that?"
Man at bar: "Gram of coke my good man."
Tense guy: "We ain't got any. You want ice instead?"

Get the cokemug. Polite term for English built Fords, especially the XR series of Baby Killers and joy rider chariots.
Check out The Geezer in his XR3, flipping everyone the finger and trying to race everything from M3's to old women.

Get the communist winemug. Like hiking, but in other people's buildings. Most urban adventures take place in derelict buildings, but also includes any location you can access without forcing entry.
Remember a joint and a camera to celebrate reaching the summit of your local really tall building.
Probably started by students living in halls in really big old universities who liked to explore all the tunnels and hatchs. Has even been featured on shows like Buffy and X-Files, firmly locating it in the "not cool, but fun" section of modern culture.

When urban exploring you should carry ID and consider if you have any suspicious articles on you, even a penknife can constitute a weapon if you manage to really make a dick out of yourself.
