We’ve always had a soft spot for Commodore computers. Compact, economical, and robust for their day, they were ubiquitous throughout the 1980s. Unfortunately, the machine’s glory days are long behind it, with little more than some gaming rigs and the tireless work of Ben Heck to keep the flag flying.
But all that could change if Barry Altman has his way. As President and CEO of the newly minted Commodore USA, he’s spent the better part of a year crawling through the arcane red tape necessary to get the rights to the Commodore name.
With the recent rumors that Camille Montes Rivero, the female lead in Quantum of Solace, may become only the second Bond girl to appear in multiple James Bond films (the first, Sylvia Trench, appeared in the franchise’s very first two films), we got to thinking about which Bond girls are our favorites.
We considered a number of attributes in assembling this Top 13, including intelligence, charisma, impact on the Bond franchise and popular culture, and, of course, sex appeal. So in the spirit of James Bond films, pour yourself a martini and enjoy the Top 13 Bond Girls of all time.

Below is the recording of MGM’s lion in 1929. Since its inception as the mascot of the Goldwyn pictures, five lions have graced the beginnings of every MGM movie and the above is the 1929 photo and recording session for its second lion, Jackie.
In supermarkets where loads of veggies is stacked and dumped, freshness may not be a priority. Keeping a track of all that’s been brought in can be time consuming and not all buyers may have a knack for freshness count.
The Fresh Code offers a simple solution to this problem; it’s an intelligent barcode with a graph that indicates the freshness level. As time passes by, the graph on the barcode keeps receding, till it finally reaches “0”; indicating that the veggie needs to be dumped and not sold.
If I was a betting man, I would wager that most of you would rather have a woman that plays video games versus one that doesn’t (all other things being equal). Well, this guy doesn’t think so and he made a top 10 list of the reasons why you shouldn’t date a girl gamer.
I’m not sure that there is a more terrible argument in the world, than an argument over how good/bad a game is, what game to play together, or even whose turn it is to play. They are obnoxious arguments that probably would never happen if dating a girl who didn’t play games.

Here’s hoping everyone had a great Earth Day yesterday.
