Tech Tips and Reviews
This is in response to wired’s latest post “The Un shouldn’t make decisions about the internet behind closed doors.”
The internet is not yours to control.
The internet is not yours to rule.
No one on the internet should have to worry about what law he breaks in another country while just doing what is normal every day activity where he is, while on the internet.
This day and age, we are seeing lots of companies talk about how everyone is moving to high end mobile devices. Devices they are talking are items like portable tablets, large screen phones and ebook readers.

This one may be more correct . I say this due to the traffic I see on my site.
I find it sad that the blackberry Playbook didn’t do so well. It’s a beautifully designed tablet. From plastic outerware, to inner hardware to operating system. The playbook had high potential. but of course Blackberry being the strong hold of quality may have held too high of a price while there are so many other options of Tablets and Hybrid Laptops.
I myself will aim for budget, then aim for processing power. Then design. In that exact order. I can’t see myself shopping for high price and assuming that means the electronic equipment will meet my needs.
Good luck in shopping.
Considering taking some of the custom cases I have made over the past few months up to the local auto body shop and getting them powder coated and getting some bedliner sprayed inside to deaden the fan noises.
then running around the state locating the best deals on good computer parts and building up 5 gaming computers and selling them off to the public.

I would most likely do side by side comparison computers . AMD processor with Crossfire ATI video cards vs Intel with Nvidia SLI Video cards of equal quality and clocks.
Then of course the mishmash of AMD processor and Nvidia Video card vs Intel with ATI video card.
and maybe one SLI/Crosfire of which ever is the fastest with which ever processor AMD or intel. Nothing under six cores.
Also have a benchmark below each computer and show the process of how I bench-marked them and screen shots and a handful of pictures
The idea would be to build the ULTIMATE GAMING BUDGET COMPUTER, get the best I can get for low price and make the computers look unique and have excellent ventilation with as many additional features as possible and maintain a budget.
Of course their will be assembly fees and shipping fees. possibly a couple competitions to win one of the computers (the ultimate of the ultimates). take the money gained and make one more computer but call it “the budget beast” and see how well it takes off.
Okay.. Picture this .
You are in a six square acre room with sensors all over the place, you put on your laser-tag chest-plate, both of your virtual reality gloves with your PSvita strapped on your back between your shoulder blades, you put your helmet on with Kinect modified to snap to both sides. You grab your old nintendo duck hunt gun, and strap on a new version of your old Virtual reality glasses. and your best surround sound head phones. and fanny pack full of batteries that recharge based on leg movement. your wireless Wii-remote (for a dagger or a whip) at your hip.
A timer goes off and an entire setting rolls across your glasses. a Virtual reality battlefield. you move left, the setting in your glasses moves precisely with you. You jump up, your video appears you are jumping.
Every time you reload your gun, you are actually just changing batteries.
100s of scenarios previously installed. Multi-player mode or single player training mode. Maybe some terrain alterations such as hills and things.
And to top it off, online version also, so the champs of one Virtual First person Shooter capture the flag or king of the kill or bomb defusal can go against the champs of another location. Possibly in china,Arizona,Germany or anywhere.
This is a sport I would love to watch. This is a sport I would participate in.
It could even get perfected with help of the military for military training.
Cowboys and Indians mode???
this takes paintball, laser-tag, call of duty and every other first person shooter adventure every boy has played since he was a child and brings it to a new level.
And this is the downside

There is a post on Facebook claiming that Gerber baby food has glass in t.
The message reads:
NEWBORNS!!! URGENT!!! For all
Parents, Nestle is asking for everyone to
return all GERBER BANANA BABY
FOOD expiring 2012 because they may
contain glass. Please copy and paste for
all babies safety. Batch code
7613033089 73, even if you’re not a
parent please copy you could save a
baby’s life,, Thanks
The post on Facebook stating that Gerber baby food has glass in it, is a hoax
See this kind of stuff is cruel to post. This is crying wolf for something that can happen later and we can become less tempted to jump on the issue and solve it because the chance it is fake.
The thought that a child who can not tell what is wrong, is sitting there with a lacerated throat as you shovel more nummy banana flavored glassy baby food down it’s throat to help quiet the child, makes more people hurry and paste that image and re-share this gruesome post.
People who post this need to be publicly humiliated.
The Gerber Nestle baby food with broken glass in it is 100% false
I dropped 50 megs from my website host, probably 4 years ago.
I didn’t like the small storage I was paying for and limited function and limited … well everything.
Today I looked in my spam filter and see that 50megs has been trying to contact me to get billing issue resolved.
Here’s the email I found from them:

and here is what my webhosting is actually registered through
Why would they try and bill me for something I don’t use them for anymore?
did their servers crash and they back up a broken file?
Well I use Powweb now because it’s cheaper and unlimited with way more function.
none of my site is through 50megs. Not my domain name not my storage, nothing is on their servers .
linked from AMD themselves on Facebook is 8 gigs 8 cores, overclocked.
Scary cooling and odd methods to prevent condensation.
AMD Processors… king of the overclock again. Setting a record again.
Windows 8 is an operating system that is the beginning and the open door to a future of apps based entertainment. The bandwidth using type of apps. Apps that half of the software is instal;ed on your computer while the rest of the “program” is served in the cloud (on multiple servers, functioning sort of like how Kazaa worked. Sort of how a torrent worked. but not really.
Windows 8 is promoted sold as a revolutionary design that is about to change the way we use computers.
but that is far from the truth
The look of windows 8, screams the colors of windows XP. Very cartoonish. The look is a bit of a step back from Windows 7.
The missing taskbar, should have been the alternative option, since back when 3.1 moved to windows 95. Oddly enough, over the past three patches to windows xp, Microsoft has removed the program-manager (aka progman.exew has been stripped and neutralized), so you can’t even mimic Windows 8 on a computer that can actually work the exact same tasks.
The squares instead of shortcuts on the desktop, a bit Brady Bunch .
Windows 8 is designed to mimic the failed operating system of a failed cell phone. My only true gut feeling is windows 8 is designed for the ignorant and not tech savvy, and for the promotion and sell of their windows phones and tablets.
from Rockstar games website post
Today, we’re proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto V is expected to launch worldwide spring 2013 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V takes place in a re-imagined, present-day Southern California in the largest and most thriving game-world we have ever created set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and for miles beyond – from the tops of the mountains to the depths of the ocean.
Starting next week November 5, 2012, Grand Theft Auto V will become available for pre-order everywhere and fans can expect a host of new information to become available in November.
Look for downloadable desktop versions of the brand new artwork above coming very soon.
We all kind of knew it when we saw the release of the tenth anniversary for Vice city, was the launch of the Android/Iphone version of GTA Vice City.
Hmm wonder when we will gta liberty city and city stories released.
Oh. it looks like Rockstar took down the gtav.com website that pointed to an Amazon page saying gtav would be released on xbox,ps3 and pc.. Now it just points to the gtav page.
