Netflix is moving up

2008-01-16T09:33:00.000-08:00

I have been using Netflix for more then 2 years and have been very happy with it. Also i do not like blockbuster because of their late fee in the old days. I hate they would charge not matter what. So that left a bad taste in my mouth so when netflix came out I jump ship. That was just a side rant(sorry)

The story I want to talk about it that Netflix is offering unlimited streaming movies. I have do this for a while but know that they offer unlimited streaming I will be doing this a lot more. I know apple is offering movie rental on i-Tunes.

The only thing I don't like is the selection of movie on the streaming are not the best but is getting better.

Good pair of Glasses

2008-01-11T15:39:00.000-08:00

Good pair of glasses is always hard to find. There is plenty of eye glasses shops but the nice ones are way too expensive and the ones you can afford make you look like a dork, but I have a Great Discovery: www.ZenniOptical.com They a specialized website that on eye glasses and frames. They have plenty of choices and very reasonable price. So with the big selection you are bound to find one you like and are in your price range. Check out http://www.zennioptical.com/ today

Microsoft Eyeing Yahoo!

2008-01-10T13:19:00.000-08:00

The rumor of Microsoft buy Yahoo! has came up again and this has caused a jump in Yahoo! up $1.46, or 6.5%, at $24.02. A peice in the New York Post entitled "MICROSOFT DEAL KING TO LAUNCH OWN FIRM" and the last line of the story says"Sources close to Microsoft say the company is still debating if it should make last year's informal offer to buy Yahoo! official by going public with its bid."

That little sentence a big jump for the stock. I would like Yahoo! and Microsoft to join force because this would give more competition to Google. Yahoo! and Microsoft are not much of chanallge to Google by themself but they are one the that is when the fight will get very interesting. Now Yahoo! has made it in my watchlist of stocks

Expensive Bed

2008-01-10T12:00:00.001-08:00

If you spend most of your day in bed and wish you did not have get out for any thing like watch tv. The Starry Eyed bed is for the very rich couch potato. It will cost between 20,000 to 50,000. but it can control the temp and comfort level. Also it can store movies and takes information about you sleeping habits and help you get the a better sleep. This bed would be perfect for the at billionaire Sloth you know.

One Huge TV

2008-01-10T11:40:00.000-08:00

Panasonic has 50 inch HDTV (12.5 feet wide screen)There is no price tag. but could image this is a sports bar? or even better in house. I really thing this should be used for movie houses. Because we are still using a projection system and the homes system are HD TV. The movie house are not nice screen as the ones you can get for you home.

The Perfect Beer

2008-01-10T11:28:00.000-08:00

Here is another product that want to help you get that prefect beer experience. Heineken (beer maker) and Krupp (electronic company) has come up with a system that will give a perfect beer. This is clearly for people with money and a bar in their house (I wish I was one of them) the price will go for $200. This just tells you the ideal conditions of your perfect beer. I will not be buy this for my self because let face it after three or four beers, you will not be able to tell the perfect beer from the perfectly bad beer. All this talk of beer has made me thirsty.

Molly Wood Seak about CES 08

2008-01-10T10:31:00.000-08:00

Molly Wood is www.CNET.com editor. She gives her opinion of CES 2008. And she thinks there is no product a CES that is the best gadget. I have to say the items she is looking for are usually have their own release date and is not show too much at the CES. Case in point the iPhone, it had its own release date and was not shown at CES. I guess that is a bad example because Apple does things on its own. I guess CES is mainly the place to see what Microsoft is releasing and this year the only thing that is getting released is Bill Gate retirement. But the curve monitor and the voice active GPS are the top products of CES.

Massage Chairs

2008-01-10T09:14:00.000-08:00

Every notice that old you get the more aches and pains we feel. A comedian once say (I am not sure which one) “you know when you are getting old when you use the words Sleeping wrong. A co-worker is bending over and has the look of pain on his face and all he needs to say is that “He Sleep Wrong””. I would add that you are getting older when a massage feels good.

I spent a lot of time in my chair in front of my computer and after a while my back gets very tired. So I am look at Massage Chairs. The place to go is Human Touch Massage Chairs. They have a great line of chairs that will help with that sour back. The peoples at Human Touch have though of all you aching muscles and they have a chair that will make you feel like you have a trained message therapist working on you back, but you do not have to pay every visit. The prices for these special chairs are very reasonable, they are not the cheap I have seen but they look well built.

Even Bill Does not like it

2008-01-09T14:17:00.000-08:00

Did he say what I think he said….Ok if I am talking about an interview with Bill Gate and he was asked “What product in the last five years that he wish he could polish a little more”

Bill laughs and says “Ask me after the new version of window is ship and then I can be more blunt with my answer.”

Click here to See the interview Question

That just show the head of Microsoft is not too happy with this Vista. I don’t blame him. I am still having troubles with my Vista machine too. I wish some would ask him which does he like better Vista or XP. I think Bill is using the new version of window that has not been named yet. It is hard to buy a new computer when the head of the Microsoft does not like the version of windows.

Region Free DVD player

2008-01-09T13:48:00.000-08:00

I am a big movie guy and I love watch a great movie and it does not have to in English to be a great movie. There are a lot of great movie that are in a differ language and with the internet and eBay you are able to find these great movie but there is only one problem you need a multi-region DVD player.

So you can buy the entire different region DVD player and this would cost plenty of money and all not all will be able to play with you TV or not work with the voltage of this country. A sound hopeless but it is not. There is a simple way to take care of this. All you have to do is go to DVD unlocker. This software that will be creates a region free DVD player. The website is very easy and simple that is a big plus from me and all the item need is all on one page and they make very simple to order DVD unlocker.

Microsoft buy Search Engine

2008-01-09T09:11:00.000-08:00

It seems Microsoft is still trying beat out Google but instead of creating a search engine that works. They rather through some cash around a buy a working search engine. This time they have a Norwegian company called Fast Search & Transfer. This specializes in business-search (what that means I do not know) Microsoft got for as steal it will only cost them $1.2 billion.

Microsoft could have bought the Swedish Chef Search engine for my cheaper but only problem is all the results are in “Urby Urby , Sop, Pork, Pork and blow up the chicken”

Holiday lights

2008-01-09T08:13:00.000-08:00

Well the Christmas Season is over and I am glad. Do not get me wrong I enjoy Christmas but it is like a huge party season and I am over do with some rest…till next year. One thing I will miss is all Christmas lightsI always enjoy how people dress up their front lawn to make look like a winter wonderland or the spirit of Christmas. It is too bad that you can not have lights all year round. At Holiday LEDS they are a website that has all you lighting needs. I once when to an outdoor party where they had LED light on the bushes and trees. It really looked very nice and elegant. So if you are planning to have a party out doors or just want to decorate your lawn you have check out Holiday LEDS.

Alienware curved monitor

2008-01-08T11:42:00.000-08:00

With CES going on We get to see a lot of new produces,(also known as my Christmas list) One that has me floored is the alienware curved monitor. It is a 42 inch curved seamless display. With that description it seem like my pick of a winner. I think if(when) I buy it will be my main monitor and also my television. I guess I am off to Ebay again and sell my old tv and monitors.

Is the Battle Over

2008-01-08T08:49:00.000-08:00

The battle that I am talking about is the format wars. HDDVD and Blu-ray are two different formats that is going to take the place of DVDs. If have not heard Blu-ray took a huge win when Warner Bros has signed a deal to go Exclusive with Sony's Blu-Ray. So knowing that Paramount is thinking of switching its allegiance to Sony. If that is the case then in the HDDVD will have only have Universal studios if Paramount leaves. Sony Bu-Ray already have Walt Disney, 20th Century Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Lionsgate. I remember see that Sony camp has paid up to 500 million to get WB on board with the Blu-Ray format. Sony is smart even if they have to pay all the studio a large sum of cash to get them on to pick a their side. It will only be an investment cost for Sony because they will have a chance to win this format war and will start to sell their Blu-ray disc and players. So with this update I still going sit on the fence and wait but I am leaning towards Sony's Blu-ray. Now the Playstation 3 is starting look like a better investment. Because the Playstation 3 has a Blu-ray player in it.

Bill funny part of Keynote Speech at CES 2008

2008-01-07T15:08:00.000-08:00

I told you about the Bill Gates keynotes and I told you about the there was a funny video about the last day of Bill Gates. He is still playing the part of a nerd and trying to get the cool kid to like him. It is still very funny. It has an office television show fell. What I mean is that everyone doing the interview are in front of a window with blinds. I was just funny to see him talk to Jon Stewrt.

Sony has Screwed the old PSP users

2008-01-07T09:01:00.000-08:00

Sony has announced that PSP will get Skype at the next firmware update. Yeah... but it will only be available for the new PSP and the old Fat PSP will not be able to use this service. That sucks. I have the old one and have been very happy with it and know that I heard about this makes me want to sell it and get the new one. I guess this is the push towards the newer model that is the direction Sony will be heading. Before all the new stuff of the PSP vs. the Old PSP were not a big deal but with Skype can through me over the edge.

here are the highlights of the newer PSP
1. will have skype
2. smaller and lighter(I played with this and it feels a little too light)
3. quicker load time
4. can project to a TV

I guess I am heading towards ebay:

A Slick Black Playstation Portable for sale sightly used... lightly scratched on the back and no scratches on the screen.....Any takers?

CES is Back

2008-01-07T08:19:00.000-08:00

2008 CES started yesterday with Bill(Gate) give I guess his last CES Opening speech. He talked about how Microsoft is going to be moving more to your living room with all kinds of windows media stuff. It seems like this has been the theme of past CES. And every year it fails, but who knows maybe this one will take. Moving to your living room is a big jump for any computer company or any hardware. The big problem there are plenty of stuff that will enhance you couch potato life style but there is not one standard. If you like one system then that does not have all the features of others. I really believe that people the non techies will not care. What people want is a TV in the living room and with cable and be able to watch movies with good sound. I don't know how Bill and the other are planning to improve in area but we watch and see. So who every takes over for Bill Keynote speech next year will be the one to tell us about how Microsoft is really make advancement on invading the living room.

Bill Gate had a video of his leaving the company. If I ever find it I will post it but for now this is how it went. It had a lot of big names.

In a video shown Sunday night depicting what his last day at Microsoft might be like, Gates, 52, hammed it up as never before.

"This will be the first time since I was 17 that I won't have my full-time Microsoft job," he said, introducing the video.

He then tried his hand at several post-Microsoft vocations in a series of self-deprecating sketches:

He worked out with actor Matthew McConaughey, pale arms bench-pressing 45 pounds. (Gates: "Am I ready to take my shirt off?" McConaughey: "Uh, not yet.")

He played a guitar riff and then asked U2's Bono, "Wasn't that the craziest riff you ever heard?!" (Bono: "I can't just replace Edge because you got a high score on 'Guitar Hero,' Bill.")

He rapped in a recording studio with Jay-Z. (Gates: "Big pimpin' I'm Bill G! Big pimpin' yeah you know me.")

He called up Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, asking if she'd considered a running mate. (Clinton: "I'm not sure politics is really for you.") Then he called Barack Obama. (Gates: "Hey, it's Bill." Obama: "Bill Shatner? Of 'Star Trek'?" Gates: "No." Obama, sounding suspicious: "Bill Clinton?")

So very funny but have not found it....Yet

New Laptops

2008-01-03T10:02:00.000-08:00

CES is a way for companies to show case their new produces. So Dell and Lenovo coming out strong with their new product lines.

Dell has made the 15.4-inch Inspiron Notebook light, more colorful and connected. the Inspiron is slimmer and up to 25% smaller the last year models. Also the have made more color available. I am happy about the lighter of the computer. It will coming in the original eight color options like Midnight Blue and Ruby Red but they will have pattern like Blossom, Chill, Commotion and Street

I have an old Compaq from 3 years ago. So I am in the market for a new Laptop.

Lenovo is free from IBM so they are out get more customer with new Ideapad. These are light small then the thinkpad.

500 Gb notebook hard drive

2008-01-03T09:22:00.000-08:00

This is crazy. but not surprising that laptops with a huge hard drives. Hitachi is one that have shown first but with CES coming up I am sure the other hard drive companies will are not too far behind. I know every is talking about this large hard drive but I truly believe that the future of hard drive will be Flash Drives. It still needs to catch with the memory size but it will. I think in the next year we will see a notebook with out a hard drive but with a Flash drive memory. I think the largest flash momery you can buy is 32 Gb.(still to small for a laptop)

LG and Netflix Team up

2008-01-03T08:53:00.000-08:00

Last week Apple made a deal to have a rentals on their i-Tunes. And Amazon teamed with Tivo to have rental movies brought to your box. This made sense for apple to do this. So we could expect other companies to get their own rental services out there. Netflix and LG are creating a set top box that will allow you to stream movies to you TV. This move seem very late. I remember a time(2years ago) when Tivo and Neflix were teaming up to create this service, but it have never happened. I guess this would work if the box are not too expensive also my big question are they going to have any new movies or is going to be that crappy stuff on their online streaming services. Only time will tell.

i-Tune Rentals

2007-12-28T08:32:00.000-08:00

I know I have already did this store but the BBC has done a feature on it and they explain much better then I did. Also the it is a video.

If Steve Job is able to get the movie studios to agree the that rental is the way to go then Apple will be king of Hollywood. I know that piracy is very high in the music industry but in movies I really believe that people will want to rent and move on to the next movie. The movie studio are worried that they will have they will fall into the same trap as the music studio but I think most people will only watch a movie for just a few times and the i-Tunes rental is a great way to reach another market. Good for you Steve!

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

2007-12-28T08:22:00.000-08:00

They made to White Castle so they decide to go a little further for a vacation....Maybe Cuba? This time they have out did themselves. This movie is an R rating and it looks really bad. I wonder how the unrated and uncut version will look on DVD. That is when i will see this movie. (there is some nude in this trailer.)

Robot can solve a Rubik's cube

2007-12-27T15:42:00.000-08:00

The Japanese are solving the world problems with their cutting edge technology. The latest problem is they figured out is they have created a robot that can solve that Rubik's cube problem. Now I drag my Rubik's cube that I have never could fix from the 80's and this robot will be able to do it for me.

Sony is Dropping the Rear

2007-12-27T15:23:00.001-08:00

Sony has stopped production on the rear-projection TV business. The reason they have said was because of the losing money and the plan to focus on two panel technologies -- the liquid crystal display and organic light-emittin diode. I say great it is the same price for a flat screen TV and a flat screen will take up less room. (I wish Santa brought me one of those Flat Screen HDTV)

Rentals in i-Tunes

2007-12-27T14:53:00.000-08:00

Apple is in the news again. And I am not talking about breaking the $200 per share price point. ( Congratulation Jobs) but the new deal with News Corp’s 20th Century Fox will start allowing rentals of movies from movies. I really like this move because who wants to own all the movies from you watch. I am one of those who like to rent more then own, because if I own I will only watch the movie once and it will be years before I will watch it again. So I great for those who are i-tunes stuck and i-pod owners now you will not feel guilty deleting movies from you i-pod when it gets full. My guess is Disney will so follow in the i-rental-movie-business. Click here to read more

Apple was not the only one out there making deals today Warner Music Group have agreed to let Amazon sell music on their online store with out digital rights management software. So this expands Amazon’s MP3 library to 2.9 million songs. At the price of 89 cents or 99 cents. Click here to read more

It seems like everyone is moving towards a DRM free world and this is a good thing. i-tunes have something to worry about now.

3D Tech from Japan

2007-12-27T08:28:00.000-08:00

I am not too sure what this all mean but it seem the Japanese have new technology that allows a person be duplicated in a 3d format. I get this will be helpful at the barber shops. You will be able to see the hair cut you want and try out the different styles. Also another use would be in trying on clothes at the store. You will not have go to the dressing room. As for a pervert stand point you can but an image of the one you are stalking in different clothes. Think of the live this will save.

Is Apple Turning to Mircrosoft?

2007-12-26T14:32:00.000-08:00

(this is a cooler way of looking at Apple and Intel Partnership)

Apple has filed a patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a Digital rights management just like Microsoft's Windows Genuine Advantage.

The patent application No. 20070288886, titled "Run-Time Code Injection To Perform Checks" This is not too surprising because with the popularity of the Apple products, Apple want to protect themselves from piracy.

Microsoft has a similar program and it has not been all that successful. With WGA has mistaken many legal Windows users as having a pirated software.

The current Mac OS X is not currently copy protected. but with the Mac hardware become increasingly(Because of the Partnership of Apple and Intel.....See picture at the top.) using the same configuration to Windows machine.

My production is that once Apple has finished testing this system Apple will start licence their OS X to other computer makers. This will not happen any time soon maybe in the next few years. So this will take some of the market share from Microsoft. That is the time we will see great innovation with OS not like we saw with Vista and Leopard. I really think that Steve Jobs wants his computer to be in every home and business. And his computers are not in the big business yet......We will see how it unfold in the coming years.

My guess (or Opinion) is that Steve Jobs is very competitive and would like to change the face of computers (again). But he will not be able to do this unless he licence his software to other computer makers.

Take a look at the Patient and see what you think.

Also the Stock of Apple has broke the $200 market but came down to $198 per share.

Format Wars

2007-12-26T10:33:00.000-08:00

The Format Wars is still going strong. This is not surprising because both sides are still not backing down. The war is between Blu-ray and HD DVD. Major blow were taken by both sides. The HDDVD teamed up with Wal-mart to sell players for $98 for the Holiday season. This strike would have killed the Blu-ray camp but it was only temperate. Wal-mart was only selling them as a promo. But they do have $199 machine for sale but I think HDDVD has not hit the sweet price point that will beat Blu-ray.

Blu-ray has aggressively used the marketing department to get the word out on the new format. (If you went into any best buy you would have seen the Ads on all the HD TVS). Also on print, TV and all over the internet is where you can find Ads for the Blu-ray. Sony is the one back the Blu-ray. They have put a Blu-ray player in there Playstaion 3 game console.

So there is no clear winner yet and there will not be one for a while. I think it because both formats do not have all the content available as you would find in the regular DVD format. So I will still be sitting on the fence watch a war rages on.

Duke Nuke'em Trailer

2007-12-26T09:33:00.000-08:00

If you don't remeber or never knew Duke was hit video game in the 90(been so long I am not too sure) So the creators have up dated the game but is too late? It does not tell too much. but here it is. Love the eight's action rock music in the background.

Hell Boy 2 Teaser

2007-12-26T08:57:00.000-08:00

Let start the the day after Christmas right. Since I have eaten too much and need a little work out I thought it would be good to start with a Action Trailer.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army is the name and the director is the guy who did Pan Labyrinth. It seem like after you get your big break in Hollywood, you have to do some big budget crappy movie. I am sure he is getting paid very well and he will do a good job of creative a movie (that I will watch someday on cable), but something tell me he will not be remembered for this picture.

Marry Christmas

Riff Trax

2007-10-08T20:17:00.000-07:00

The guys of Mystery Science Theater 3000 was one of the funniest thing on TV at the time. The only thing I did not like was the selection of the movie. It would have been great if they pick some the popular movies. Now guys have created RiffTrax. If you never watched MST 3000, it is about a guy who what bad movie and makes funny comments. I know it is not for every one but I really enjoy it. So RiffTrax has put their funny comment on the popular movies. All they sell is the comments and sound of the movies you will have to borrow or buy the movie yourself and Sync them up. Sound like a lot of work but it is worth it.

Well Microsoft has extended the date of execution of their windows xp for six month. They say since is a good sell they will keep around for little time longer. Okay here is what I think about it they will be producing windows xp and also vista. I really believe they are fixing Vista or even creating a new operating system that will combine Xp and Vista together. So when the six months are up they will stop selling Xp and with in a few months announce that they have a new OS coming out in the following year. So Vista will still sell with the new computers and Xp stock will stop. Then As soon as the new OS comes out then they can slide Vista out the door and call in another bust for Microsoft but still make a profit.

Harry Potter

2006-12-25T17:49:00.000-08:00

Well the name of the of the seventh book of the Harry Potter Series has been reveled. J. K. Rowlings has posted on her website on Thursday.

"I’m now writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more,” she wrote. “I don’t think anyone who has not been in a similar situation can possibly know how this feels: I am alternately elated and overwrought. I both want, and don’t want, to finish this book (don’t worry, I will.)”

On her website there is a game to find out the name of the book. I went to it and found that I could not figure it out.(not too surprising) Hope you have better luck then me.

"Meanwhile, she set up a test for her Potter fans. If you go to jkrowling.com, click on the eraser and you will be taken to a room — you’ll see a window, a door and a mirror. Eventually you figure out the title yourself by playing a game of hangman."

I have read all of the books and thing the first one was the best. But I will be in putting an order to get this last book. So I know how it will end. Man it better be a good ending. If I was J. K. Rowlings I would be on my way to a nervous break down. All the hype is very scary.

Oh by the way the book is called “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.” But there is no release date yet for the book

The next movie is going to be release this July 3,2007( just in time of the 4th of July weekend) All the rest of the movie were release in Nov. but this one want to get all the big blockbuster Summer money.

Here is the latest trailer of the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix This one was the least favorite book. It was very long and hard tokeep my mind on the story. But movie trailer really looks like there will be full of action

"Superman Returns" Returns

2006-09-25T14:50:00.000-07:00

TodayOnline has reported that Bryan Singer plans to return for next part of superman.

He was quoted saying:

"I plan to get all 'Wrath of Khan' on it," he told convention goers at the time, referring to the 1982 film Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan. Asked to expand on his remarks, Singer told TODAY: "What I was referring to was the fact that, when you do a first film like X-Men, for example, you're introducing a world and a set of characters.

"Once those characters are introduced, once we've lived with them for awhile and we know them, when you get into a second film like an Empire Strikes Back (sequel to Star Wars: A New Hope) or a Wrath of Khan, you can make an action-adventure film and you don't have to bank all that time getting to know the characters. Now you can raise the stakes, raise the jeopardy and make a leaner, meaner movie."
