Another thought on Ipod

For a company or culture that is always updating, it seems that Apple has forgotten that it needs to redesign the headphones that come with your Iphone or Ipod.

It seems a bit pathetic that Apple which is recognized for good and working designs they haven’t upgraded their Ipod headphones to a working design since the inception of the Ipod. It is ironic that the ear buds are so bad that some statistics show that one in four kids goes deaf. I wonder if all of these users will sue eventually, how much financial damage will Apple take? Anyway this product needs new and better designed ear buds, and for a $30 value they really come short. They are too big and they loose the sound forcing the user to keep the volume loud, therefore damaging their ears over time.

SO APPLE, GET THIS AND CHANGE THAT STUPID DESIGN ON THE EAR BUDS!

In addition I haven’t seen any Android based music player that would snatch away the market from APPLE. There all this companies that compete on the phone market and the tablet, but no one thought to make a music player like the iPod. Perhaps there is no point to it, because the android phone covers the music player, yet Apple still sells its Ipod. Some of these companies should come with their Music player. Microsoft is lagging behind with their crappy Zune. Perhaps the design is not that great on Zune. There is still market share left out there but no one is tapping into it. Google can come up with their own music player since they have that huge network full of services, they might actually succeed with a music player which will have an universal dock configuration which other manufacturers could use for their own dock-able music players.

I’m not sure what exactly is the difference on the Iphone camera and the Ipod camera, but on their website it does not say on the Ipod that the camera is 8 MP. So that’s not good if there is a difference between the two cameras.

COD MW3 Call of Duty Series

I recently acquired MW3 and I started playing online, I am not interested in story mode. But the maps that I have played so far don’t really offer anything close to the previous editions of COD MW.

I don’t have too many readers so if you stumble on this post I will have you know that I completely skipped the Black Ops iteration of Modern Warfare. But MW3 has fallen short on Map supply for the online gameplay. I’m thinking on going back to MW2 and the original COD4  MW.

This iteration of MW is becoming a boring yearly recurrence like Madden or what-have you. They switch around a few things here and there, put out some garbage maps and there you have it the 2011 iteration of MW.

On MW2 they made a billion dollars but the maps were fantastic. They perhaps made a  map-pack for MW2 which I wasn’t interested to buy, it should have been free. In addition it seems that now the map packs are a new way of increasing revenue. Perhaps this is the new strategy, produce something bad but quickly and then improve it with service packs, sounds Microsoftly familiar? The one good thing they added since Black Ops was the ability to play online split screen. However you can’t have two profiles signed in, just you + guest, or maybe that bug’s on PSN only.

The guns, there is some improvement there but definitely the attachments not a great improvement. They just switched around the perks a bit and voila, the New MW3.

They should have an online play section where you have the ability to choose all the attachments possible on your favorite weapon and three perks or more. They should name that version of online play, Loaded guns, No limit Death-Match, Weapons Reloaded, Loaded Weapon and the list could go on. Moreover the designers could take this to a new level and create a completely free character where you could completely customize it. And you can call it “Totally BadAss”.

In addition Activision should create a Map-Making Contest where everyone in the know can create the map of their dream and submit it. But this time they should go trough with it not like Infinity Ward on COD4 where they announced it and they never went trough with it. Moreover people should have the ability to create their own maps and play them online, however the process should be done on a computer with exactly the same tools the manufacturers used.

MW3, it could have been better, I’ll play it for now but totally disappointing! It’s definitely not worth 60 dollars!

I love the previous maps in COD MW, so whoever is responsible they should port them to the new MW3. All the maps from MW1, 2 and black ops.

It is good that now you can move your claymores and all the other deploy-able explosives, but it sucks that you can’t reload your (explosives, grenades, claymores, noob tube and what have you) with the scavenger perk. That makes the entire perk useless, why would I use scavenger if I only get bullets. I guess you win some, and you lose some.

I hope Valve will come up soon with something better for consoles because this series is going down the drain, and it’s not even rewarding the creative players. Valve had a map contest for HL2, where they appointed winners and everything.

Valve we need you BACK!!! Please step up to this plate, and take it further.

Make sure you switch off all the turbo settings first because my was delivered with all the turbo buttons switched on. And for a second I thought that was an issue with the device. I could not PROPERLY switch weapons because of the turbo being switched on.

I just got me one of these for my PS3 to play MW3. The mouse translation is awesome with version 3.0 firmware. I did not even try to calibrate the product, I just mapped the buttons and tested the mouse movements. The translation is perfect. I used the XFPS Sniper Edition for XBOX and it does not compare with the Eagle eye.

Now the XFPS is like $120 or more but the eagle eye is only $50 and the translation is awesome in MW3. I do not have a a crazy mouse, I have a generic Lenovo optic mouse and it works awesome. In addition this device is firmware up-gradable and it can only get better and should work with future games. I haven’t try it with other games, but it should work pretty good.

A few extra things would be nice, to be able to map multiple keyboard keys for the same PS3 controller button.

And to be able to enable a turbo key on the fly, and to be able to press an extra key on the mouse to enable turbo for the trigger, instead of switching it on and off from the device itself.

The turbo feature should not be a problem since they are creating new versions of firmware.

The Turbo settings seem to be faster than the XFPS, and if you want to cheat a bit then you can switch the turbo on.

Mouse Keyboard on Xbox and Playstation

For years now PC gamers have been using all kinds of adapters to be able to use a mouse and keyboard for their consoles. I have been using a mouse keyboard adapter for my Xbox to play Call of Duty. I have had the XFPS for 2 years and I used intently. It does work but the translation is not 1 to 1 or a hundred percent but it is better than playing with a controller, at least for me. My friends they all use controllers, and some of them do way better than me, even with my mouse and keyboard. So in a way this is a plea to the gaming industry to add support for mouse keyboards for the all consoles and games.

I haven’t read anything on why the game and console manufacturers won’t add support for the mouse and keyboard to gaming consoles but there must be some reasons. I feel that one of the reasons is the fairness. It would not be fair to have someone with a mouse keyboard playing against someone with a controller because it would be a no challenge. I beg to differ since I am pretty good gamer (with a mouse keyboard) but I don’t totally dominate when I play. There are advantages to the controller as well which balances game for all players. Therefore the gaming industry should include support in their games for mouse keyboard. It doesn’t make sense to not have support for mouse keyboard. There are all kinds of games which are coming with their own controllers, rock band, guitar hero, and the biggest catch. Why aren’t 3D shooters coming with their own keyboards and mice for the user who wants to use that instead of the controller?

Please answer that?

I will try to find out and post here what is the official stand of the gaming industry.

 

refile.net review

So I created a Windows PE ISO with Malwarebytes to clean a computer which has been brought down to a crawl because of adware and what not. So having the image ready I wanted to put it online for people to use it. It was some form of adding more value to The Computer Manual and getting people acquainted with it.

Anyway, in my search for a site that host files online and allows free downloads, I stumbled on the Refile.net website.

And they advertised that they pay $5 for 1000 downloads. At first I said to myself that anyway my MalwareBytes ISO will not make it to 1000 downloads. So I ignored the idea, but the I got greedy and I said that a few cents here and there will help me pay for my hosting and domains and whatever. So I moved all my downloadable content to their site.

Then I started checking the file view counters and the file download counters but it seems that these counters are not very accurate. Because I compared the stats from statcounter with the stats from refile.net and there are big margins of error.

So in essence I have made some cents here and there but not as much as I should have. I already contacted them to see what’s the problem with their counters, and to find out how is it possible to get paid as people are downloading your content. I am suspecting some BS answers from them because I feel that is all bogus.

I haven’t got paid yet so I can’t really tell if this is for real or not, but my main suspicion is that they deliberately made those counters malfunction. I might be off on the speculations but the fact is that the counters don’t work well enough!

Anyway, there was no review online about the technicalities of this service and as I could not find any info on the site I had to put out there my findings so far about refile.net. The reviews I found mention some referral program which I haven’t seen to be available so far. I will update this post later as I find more information.

Their FAQs cover only the obvious questions but not the technical questions (like why aren’t the counters registering accurately the file downloads?).

[UPDATE] And I already got the answer  directly from their tech support:

A file download is counted as a download AFTER captcha is entered of anyfile per unique IP over a 24 hour period. Own downloads (your downloads of your own files) are not counted.

[Update Jan 03 2012]

The file manager is very buggy, I have tried to upload files and they would not be linked with my account, after I contacted tech support all my files appeared and then I had to start deleting my files, and of course the file manager deleted more than I requested it to delete. Moreover the downloads you have earned get deleted as well too, when your files are deleted. Super annoying the file manager, I can’t deal with this thing. Every time I try anything things go from bad to worse.


The plus side so far is the tech support, very responsive, they were able to recover some of my files, the rest I had to upload again. So don’t delete anything because it will delete some of your data you want to keep.

The only way is to create folders, and move the stuff that you want deleted in the folders, then delete the folders. Never  tried it but it might be the best way NOT to delete the wrong files. Make sure you refresh after each move.

The Future Of Windows Update

Dear Microsoft,

The Windows OS needs an update service.

I am not referring to the Windows Update.

It’s either Windows Update will be expanded for all other software vendors to subscribe their information to it and then their applications will be updated trough a single service instead of having countless nonsensical services running at the startup.

Or Microsoft can create an entire new service.

These days each application has its own updating service which is loaded with windows startup programs next to other idiotic services. That is why powerful computers are brought down to a crawl just after a few months of use. The main culprits are all the garbage toolbars, the extra fluff from essential applications, and system integrators or OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers). Besides all the necessary applications, the OEMs install all kinds of crap trial software. Even if you buy a new computer you still have some work to do to clean it up. It is no surprise that Apple computers are gaining  market share, they’re headache free. And for a non initiate it is the most important aspect.

ITunes,  Adobe reader, Flash player, Java, and so on.

These are only a few of the countless applications that add a few services to start up. I still consider Adobe reader the champion because it enriches your system with a whopping record of 5 services. I commented on that abomination of an application before and I am still hung on it. So in order to prevent this garbage, Microsoft can have an update service which will resolve all the problems. Wouldn’t that be cool? In addition Microsoft can try and impose rules to software integrators  when they design software. Moreover Microsoft can eventually do the same thing as driver signing, only this time they can digitally sign the application too, if it is deemed to be up to par with the imposed Microsoft standards.

HP LaserJet 1020-1022 Print Spooler dies

OK I know I posted this at the beginning of 2010 but I have begun to find the same post on other sites who don’t link to my fix. Since I figured out firstly and gave it out I should get the credit. But no!

These tech sites or tech people have nothing better to do but find fixes posted by others and repost them on their own web site. So I thought to repost my stuff again and mention these lamers as well.

Firstly, below you’ll find the fix:

The FIX!!!

Download the archive with the Zenographics files from the link below.

http://gameaddict.eu/downloads/HP_1020_zenographics_files.zip

and extract the files into the location below in bold text.

The files need to be copied into:          C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3 location.

For a complete explanation and the HP 1020 driver go to http://www.gameaddict.eu/?p=240

That’s it!!!

 

And here is a website who is posting the fix and some of the story but does not mention where they got it from.

squidworks.net LAME!

 

Aspartame to make it on DEA’s Schedule 1

The Department of Justice Launched the Drug Endangered Children Public awareness Campaign. The Campaign is focused on protecting children from exploitation and numerous problems associated with drug manufacturing, trafficking and consumption.

 
The awareness campaign will highlight the risks Drug Endangered Children are exposed to. However this campaign has a special contingent meant to increase awareness on substances found on our everyday food.

 
Aspartame is one of the most controversial substances in the last 20 years. The awareness campaign special contingent is focused on highlighting the side effects of aspartame on children and unborn children. Moreover the campaign is rallying up the public to enlist aspartame on the DEA’s drug schedules, more precisely on schedule 1.

Microsoft FixIt KB2000007

First let me say that I’m a bit proud since this is my hundredth post.

As any other website admin, I constantly check to see which keywords are searched and landed on my web pages. So recently I saw a few hits for the Microsoft KB2000007, and I was wondering why would people come to my page for it instead of going to the MS website. So did a search for it to try and understand the results, and I could not find the fix whatsoever. Therefore I am posing it on this website, because I found it extremely useful in my struggles with the 1020 error.

 

 

Here is the link for the KB2000007 download or KB50126: MicrosoftFixit50126.zip

In addition there is another Microsoft Fixit which I found on my searching for the KB 2000007. I am not familiar with it but it should come in handy sometimes: Mats_Run.zip

Super Angel the 1k juicer

I have had the Super Angel Juicer for a year now, and since it is so expensive I have really used it. The fruits I’ve used are apples, pineapple, and carrots. A few times I used leafy greens and beets.
I have purchased this juicer because I wanted something that will give me the most amount of juice. Before I made up my mind I have watched some videos online to see the comparison between this juicer and others and the juice amount.
When I have purchased this juicer I was only interested in the juice quantity, but overtime I grew tired of spending my time making juice.

Juicing apples

Apples juice fine with the skin on.
I like the Granny Smith apples and they produce the most amount of juice. After juicing Granny Smith apples, the pulp is incredibly dry. It is almost like the cinnamon challenge. OK not exactly :) , but if you are trying to eat the juice depleted fibers is going to take quite some time to ingest them because they are super dry.
I have tried other kinds of apples but after juicing, the pulp came out moister than the Granny Smith apples. Those apples have a different texture, the pulp is more flowery and you get a bit less juice, but that is not the juicer’s fault. In addition the juice is a bit thicker from these flowery apples.

Juicing Pineapple

This one is a tough challenge. It also becomes messy if you don’t have the patience.
The fibers in the pineapple are tough; especially the core and they clog the juicer making the process much more difficult. The functioning principle of the juicer is to somewhat clogging the two filter pipes with fruit giving the juicer the ability to squeeze out the last drop of juice before expelling out the dry pulp. The two spinning rods are encased into two narrowing pipes and the fruit pulp gets crammed at this end and only inserting more fruit trough the chute will actually help expel the pulp at the end.  In addition the pineapple juice is much foamier than apple juice, and a lot of foam gets built up in the chute, and you have to stop to leave time to the juicer to push out the pulp. Otherwise the foam buildup will spill out when you try to add more fruit in the chute. In addition you have to cut the pineapple in manageable chunks that fit in the chute, well that is true for all fruits you might use.
I have used entire pineapples without taking the skin off, the separation is perfect, there no skin residue in the juice, just juice. In addition, a good practice is to alternate between on piece of skinned pineapple in conjunction with one skinless core piece, this tends to extend the workflow to an entire pineapple without cleaning the system. I have tried juicing two pineapples without cleaning the system but the second pineapple adds 50% more work because there is residue pulp on the channels already.
I think there is a need to have a second screen housing, with a larger chute and a larger expelling section, which will enhance the work-flow. I mean for a thousand dollar juicer that’s not a lot to ask. For pineapples you have to make small pauses to wait for the foam to diminish as the pulp gets expelled out of the screen housing.

Juicing Kiwi

Ok this one cannot be juiced with the skin on because those mini needles on the skin slip into the juice. In addition you get more like mash kiwi in the juice collector, and thicker mashed kiwi in the pulp collector. Perhaps for kiwi one would need a Norwalk. But I think we can do without kiwi.

Juicing Pomegranate

It takes an extra step of straining it – plus you have to take the fruits out of the skin which is time consuming.
You need to have a strainer which would separate the juice from the masticated seeds. The seeds get grounded into a fine powder like flour, and it slips into the juice. Therefore you have to collect the juice and strain it trough a cloth, or maybe coffee paper filter.

Juicing Carrots

This process could not be easier, and the collected pulp can be used for carrot cake, I think. Juicing fruits is the closest I got to cooking.
Juicing mango is like kiwi; you get mashed juice and thicker mashed mango.

Juicing leafy greens

This is the easiest part, I tried juicing spinach and lettuce and for the most part the process is self feeding. You don’t have to even use the wooden pushers.

The overall process of juicing

First of all it’s not worth it to juice 3-4 apples, because the cleaning process will take longer than the juicing process, therefore will render the entire idea obsolete. So I usually get two bags of Granny Smith apples and juice them, that gives me somewhat more than a half gallon of juice. This will take probably an hour to do. You have to chop the apples to fit trough the chute, put them in a big pot, and then juice them. There might be a need of slowing down at some points to give the juicer time to catch up with you. Then you must clean the entire equipment, otherwise you will have a tough time scraping of the dried off fruit. Then you have to clean the sink and you definitely have to have a strainer to block off the fruit residue from going down the drain. So this entire process (juicing and cleaning) will take like an hour +.
If you can’t stand half hour to an hour of noise, then this juicer is definitely a good pickup. People that hate noise will find value in this product.

If it would be up to me:

Now, I would definitely sacrifice 10% juice for a 20 or more percent improve in work-flow, with a second and third filter housing where the dried pulp gets expelled faster and perhaps a larger filter holes and larger chute, and  where one can use an entire apple at once. However the larger chute for an entire apple might demand a new design or a great mind to manufacture like a side attachment, somehow. Anyway with three horsepower motor the juicer has enough power to chop trough wood, if it has to, and any side attachment would have enough power to chop trough entire fruits. I used the juicer intensely and I never managed to clog it up. It has a reverse button to get it unclogged if that happens.

Cleaning

One not too cool thing about this juicer is the attachment design. The braces that lock in the housing filter are not completely detachable and this area becomes a bit difficult to clean. The entire machine housing, rods, filer is made from stainless steel, which makes cleaning easy. However the cleaning should not just be a simple rinsing, try to put a bit of work into it so later on you don’t have to remove fruit stains from the rods or the filter.
You can find more information by searching online about other features the juicer has. But I felt I had to review the most important ones.

Possible Tweaks

I think the juicer should be on a special stand to allow for the bottom fan to circulate the hot air away from the juicer thus keeping it cool. In addition in the manual they inform you that you should take a 10 minute break after a 45 minute use. So this would give the time window to rinse the juicing system when you’re dealing with tougher fruits. The juicer gets hot after long usage so give it a break every half hour or 45 minutes.
Another tweak, I used is to put the rubber gasket in the water and just stick in on the main machine attachment area, instead of wrapping it on it, because on tough fruits like pineapple the pressure applied tends to allow some juice and foam to slip out where the rods and filter housing attach to the main machine. Using the gasket like that seals off better the attachment area.

Overall the juicer is a versatile machine and apparently the juice quality is better than most others. You see, I don’t have a lab to test and compare the amount of juice oxidation with the Super Angel 5500 and other juicers, so I am reiterating whatever other people said. But these days you can’t trust the FDA anymore; therefore one might need to get his own lab facility to retest whatever other people claim.
Lots of juice and a wide variety of fruits can be used with the Super Angel 5500.

About Netflix

I wrote about movies in several occasions, especially that fact that movies are censored in US. I recently reviewed the movie Cry Baby and I noticed that it is not the entire movie. This time I instant streamed it from Netflix. And so it appears that Netflix as well as DVD manufacturers are cutting movies.

It starts to feel like Big Brother is alive and kicking here in the US, but yet we are FREE, and we’re blatantly fighting for our freedom, but we’re just fighting for it without knowing where it is, or who’s got it.

Anyway it seems one has to go to great lengths to watch a movie as it was made. Funny thing is that most of us don’t even notice these things, they just eat whatever is served. I’m going to  ask Netflix directly why we’re getting censored movies.

Interface Design

Since I am using Real Player for a lot of media tasks, I decided to design a more appealing interface. I designed an interface that reduces the clutter and has better looking icons, because the icons real player came with are monotone, quite boring actually.

If you look at the picture below you can see a the top interface which only has the icons changed and then the bottom where the icons the interface layout and buttons are changed. I gave it a lighter color and I removed the tabs at the top and replaced the real player logo button with regular buttons, like “File Edit and View”

Regarding the tabs at the top of the interface, they need to be removed and added as functionality on the left ribbon and right clicks. The featured tab, is such a nuisance, I don’t even know why would it be there. Is pointless. I am not sure about the reasoning and the income that featured tab provides, but is not satisfactory since one has to wait for it to load stuff of the internet.

In my design I tried to add most of the common tasks into the display panel, and I added the volume boost / normalizer slider in the bottom right. This boost / normalizer, would be used to boost the volume on poor sounding media or normalize it if is too loud. I needed such a function a few times on a media player and I thought it would be useful.

I will perhaps add and modify this as I would get more ideas.

Adobe Reader Install

I was trying to install adobe reader X on a computer and it worked like a charm. The only problem is that if you want to install it on a second machine you have to go trough the same online process again. Imagine if you have to do multiple machines, terrible.

Moreover you can’t even see the adobe reader installation kit anymore because there is a weird download butler that has to install too before you can install adobe reader. I’m not sure how is this supposed to be easier than just download the damn file and install it, but adobe has done it again. In addition you have like 4 services wanting to start up after the adobe reader installation. I don’ t even know why businesses choose adobe, but from now on I will use anything else but adobe.

So in the following two locations you will find the installation kit:

windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NOS\Adobe_Downloads 

Windows 7: C:\users\all users\nos\adobe_downloads

While the download butler is downloading the applications you can browse to find the files being downloaded, after they have finished downloading, the icons are going to change, so just copy them in different locations, because they will be erased after a restart.

Adobe reader has become a garbage application, no wonder PCs crash and burn constantly, it is because garbage apps like acrobat reader that have dimwits designers behind them.

Adobe reader services, adobe reader start up, adobe reader update

Adobe Reader – terrible application, I hope someone else is going to come with a better standard, because their acrobat reader is such an ass backwards design. Now in 2010 you have 4 services that are installed and are running at log on. I am speculating by 2020, they will have perhaps 10.

Xbox Live Sucks

So I wanted to cancel my XBOX Live automatic renewal. And obviously I couldn’t. There is no way to do it on your own, online. Or if it is, is so hidden that will drive you mad looking for it. And I know that is all part of the forced renewal marketing strategy that all companies use. Credit cards, banks, literally almost any subscription service will just get you signed in in perhaps 2 seconds, but it will take you at least an hour to unsubscribe. Why? Is all simple. They use all possible tactics to deter you from canceling.

I called to cancel my automatic renewal. And I really don’t understand why you have a stupid robot that is asking questions because the technician answering the call will ask you the same questions again? If you prompt her about the questions you already answered, she will give you a lame excuse that somehow somewhere your answers got lost. You have to waste your time again answering those redundant questions again to the technician.

It is totally unacceptable when you spend 10 minutes to answer all the possible questions with one technician and then you get transferred.  But the top of the frustration is reached when you are asked the same questions again by the new person.Why was the first tech asking the questions if they did not transfer the answers with the effin’ phone call? It will always remain a frustrating deterring tactic from canceling your subscriptions. Can someone design this better?

I wasted 20 minutes on the phone to cancel a subscription. That is unacceptable, and they did not wanted to change my gamer tag to redeem themselves. All I can do now is start my own console and my own perfect network and following. Anyone care to invest?

Xbox 360 vs PS3

Allow me to demonstrate why Xbox is the superior system vs PS3. First of all the controller in the PS3, I don’t know how to say it… would TERRIBLE be an alarm signal for SONY? I mean how could you not see that it is terrible? Too small firstly, ask anyone, bigger and more are better. This is not one of those wierd cases where less is more, naaaa… This is the actual case where more is better. So chap chap SONY, or whoever is going to take over them. As a bit of information, my hands are normal size.

The Controller

Controller, analog thumb controllers too close, thumb fatigue, too symmetrical, leaves no room for hands relaxation. Forces the user too a limited range of use, because of the symmetry of the thumb sticks.

Forward triggers, too close to each other on each respective side. Since we have TEN fingers we would like to use as many of them as possible. So interface people take note. I use only 4 out of 10. The 6 remaining fingers get tired holding the controller in an awkward position since it is too small, lacks in girth for palm support.

Try holding the controllers while assigning 6 fingers to it and 4 just for holding so the finger assignment should be like this:

Thumbs on the sticks and index and the middle fingers on the 4 triggers. Now try to move your hands with the controller side to side over each hip, which one feels more comfortable? The XBOX controller needs improvement too. I personally think they should come in sizes, not one fits all. If a pair of running sneakers costs 50 bucks and they come in sizes, why not a controller.

Much more care should be in the design as how much dexterity people have in what fingers. So the most functionality should be added to the first 3 fingers of each hand, decrementing from thumb, index and the least should be for the middle finger.

They should come to me before taking the decision of designing a controller. :D

User friendliness and quirks

Now, how can I explain to these people that work in designing user friendly technology? It’s not user friendly, at all.!!! Every time I leave a game to return to the main menu, my TV flickers, and makes noises, annoying noises. The XBOX 360 is just so suave switching from one to another. I guess the Windows team should learn a thing or two from the XBOX OS team. Xbox can improve on the theirs, which they did ’cause I just downloaded a hole new OS the other day. Way to go SONY on the last place there. I guess is good when you let other people do the thinking for you. I see SONY is just copying the Wii’s idea blatantly, with all the new plastic toys. Way to go there buddy, Nintendo should charge some royalties there. I can gladly applaud Microsoft here for coming with their own system. Honorable thing guys!

More on the user friendliness, every time I am on a debate about this i hear that PS3 is a more powerful system, has wireless included, has this and that. But all that power but, really uncomfortable to drive the damn thing. I mean just now, I was trying to send a voice message to my buddies who all are playing Black Ops, since it the release day, and because I have that stupid looking, and so difficult to operate the official, supposedly, bluetooth headset, I wanted to send a voice message. But na-aahh, guess this one could not be stolen, ha? Or the free network doesn’t support that? Well that’s too bad. See, the PS3 is like supped up sports car, but lots of loose ends in handling. There was a plane back in the fifties I think, super fast for that time but poor handling, really short wings to generate less drag. XBOX is like a well rounded minivan that smoothly takes you there. This is not the only analogy that can be made. In addition, what will PS3 do when the new XBOX comes out, and everyone and their mother jumps on it? Oh, how I want to see the bashers then? And is not that I am a fan of one or the other, I just want improvement.

You see, I don’t usually vote, because it’s usually choosing the least worst. Is not like the candidates all have all the good attributes and I have to make up my mind, No. Is like I have to figure out who’s the least worst so it doesn’t destroy what’s left over. It seems that politics has a shortage of good people, always! Or the bad ones fight too dirty and drive them away. But with consoles, since they do satisfy some kind of need, I bought them both. One was to play games and the other is my Blue ray player.

XBOX already has the network, they have the superior OS, they have all the little quirks tight, basically they have their shit together.

In the end I will see the guy from the SONY move commercial, with his hand melting down, because Microsoft will have the last laugh on this one.

I think Apple should take on a new challenge to come up their console, and their bad-ass controller, and none of that garbage move, kinnect stuff unless is totally awesome. Google could join the fight, since they love statistics, I already have a system for them to implement. It’s a whole new network idea. I just want to see a whole new system wow me.

Apple snatched the No1 phone company from Nokia, who is perhaps alive since in Europe they’re a bit more cheap with free services, and bandwidth, but everyone there has a decent vacation time, it is understandable after all.

The challenge is open for wowing the masses.

Aaaa and one thing that I forgot, it seems that if the PS3 dies on you because of overheating, you don’t get the super extended warranty, like the XBOX ring of fire. Ouch!
