Tech Tips and Reviews
Let’s go straight into this in bitterness about facebook.
No I will not sign your petition.
How many polls can we get about 80s,90s movies and what was better and who was better?
Quit Geo-tagging our images.
That stuff is not safe at all.
Can we post more pictures in a day?
I know people who post only pictures. All dang day long.
Comments section of popular posts, nothing but dudes posting poorly used memes. The exact same memes all day every day 10000 times.
How Did Google Plus Fail ?
Google failed with Google Plus (G+) simply by making their social network too intrusive, too much like Facebook and too bland.
When I say intrusive, I mean, just adding the app on your phone, you are forced to show your location via GPS showing almost an exact nark on the map showing what section of your house, you are currently in. Who wants that? Maybe while you are meeting someone at the local burger doodle, but your bedroom? Toilet? who needs to know exact locations of my every post? Can’t we save this for a later feature?
G+ looks exactly like Facebook did last year. Minus the blue bar at the top of the screen.Friends on the left, message in the middle (much like Myspace) ads on the right. Much like a blog.
There is no color. There is no life in G+ It just looks like plain text on a plain page. I actually like I am at the back end side of wordpress. And I tell you, it’s not impressive.
For over a week now, I have seen three messages fly by that were not my own.
And … sad to say, when people fought the real names on Google plus, Google gave in. Mean while Facebook screams a big “SCREW YOU USERS”
So, maybe Google should abuse the less tech savvy, they seem to enjoy it.
Deep down we all see that Google plus is a more current social website and much nicer looking. But was released at the wrong time.
Maybe if they put a samsung logo on it.. Oh wait, that’s another one that abuses their users.
my boss had a customer he needed to make happy so he gave me an exact budget to stay in. I had two stores to pick parts from. But get better office points if I can save time by going to just one for the computer parts.
as you can see I was up to the challenge.
The person already had their Monitors and keyboards and Speakers, Quickbooks, and Windows 7. My duty was to just build a tower that can withstand the daily office use of quickbooks, and other office tasks.
Me being the wiser know there will be some Youtube going on. I build this machine to stand against most office employees.
$750 was the challenge.
I build the ultimate work computer.
On someone else’s budget of course.

Just a quick benchmark I did a year ago between the two computers.
Though the computers seem to be a generation apart and one seems to have half what the other has, they run relatively the same performance through my daily tasks of design.
