Facebook Places and Four Square

August 19th, 2010 TruXter No comments

Let them have it. only a small group of people even know what foursquare is. This hoopla over how close the two products are, is probably the highest level of notoriety that Foursquare has ever seen. They probably just got a whopping 14 downloads in one day from curious people who just had to see WTF people are talking about.

See I have no idea how to spell 4square.. at all.. I can spell Gowalla, but I am a freak like that.

Intel buys McAfee for just under $8b

August 19th, 2010 TruXter No comments

McAfee sold to Intel for $7.68.
These are two companies I do not like. They are the center of everything bundled with crummy computers. They are the generic item that everyone gets with their new “outa the box” machine. And since so many people have these two, everyone assumes they are the best. ” More people buy Intel than AMD so it must be better” . Well no it’s bundled more often because it’s mass production junk.
Think about it, more people in the world shop at wally mart…………. Why? because it’s there. and convenient.
Mcafee is bundled in everything you buy.
Remember when AOL disks showed up in your mail on a weekly basis? People actually installed it years after broadband became common.
Mcafee calls it’s self an “antivirus” truth is, there is no such thing. There is just software that tell you when you have an active virus on your computer… The virus scanner installs it’s self so deep that you the computer owner can’t unintsall it. So most virus programs are written to attach themselves to the “antivirus program”. This in turn causes the “antivirus” to ignore the virus, because removal of the virus would be suicidal for the antivirus. So let’s just call it a “virus alerter”.

This merger/sell is just a nice way to get all the garbage in one spot.

Now I have to go use a-squared to remove 1829 trojans off of my bosses computer. Neat how symantec 360 has only detected (or notified me of ) one virus while 1728 variations of the virus are directly attached to symantec.

T-Mobile G2 is Coming

August 18th, 2010 Tech News No comments

As a user of the G1 Cell phone I am an enthusiast in the sense I have never hack cracked or modded my original android phone. And by my excitement in posting this you should clearly see I am excited and ready for the G2 cell phone to come my way. We all wanted the G2 when the second android phone was announced, even though we knew that was far to early to make a sequel to the G1 phone.
Then came the 2.1 Firmware for all of the droids. G1 was not on the list of phones that would not automatically get the update. Then came 2.2 firmware. When the top android firmware cracker (lol) released an update on his progress, he was sent a cease notice from google themselves. Really? open source cease? It turns out there was bundled software that Google owns the copyright to, in that firmware. So the guy had to start over. It was looking pretty gloomy for the G1 users by that time.

Until we got this message.

T-Mobile surprised their remaining G-1 users this morning with a text message that simply said

456: FREE T-MOBILE MSG: You heard it first: G2 is coming, and it’s fast. Finally, the best of Google at speeds you crave. Get exclusive access at G2.t-mobile.com


And well as a G1 enthusiast, I jumped on the chance to look.
At the same time, a lady from the office I work in, she was looking at the page at the same time. About 50 feet from my office. I closed my browser to tweet it, no one was tweeting it. So I did. Then I went back to that page. Sure enough, the page was gone.
But the lady from my office still had her browser open to the page. I nabbed a screen shot :-)

T-Mobile G2 Phone Picture

G1 was a great phone, We loved the Android system as it was given to us. Now we have G2 and it’s on it’s way to T-Mobile
T-Mobile G2 is coming

The Revolution Continues

The T-Mobile® G1® was the world’s first Android™ -powered phone. Launched nearly two years ago, it created an entirely new class of mobile phones and apps. Its successor, the T-Mobile G2™ with Google™, will continue the revolution.

The T-Mobile G2 will deliver tight integration with Google services and break new ground as the first smartphone designed to run at 4G speeds on our new HSPA+ network. In the coming weeks, we’ll share more details about the G2 and offer exclusive first access to current T-Mobile customers.

I want my G2 droid. But if it does not have a full functioning keyboard, they can keep it.

So far I have not seen any pictures other than the back of the g2

T-Mobile G2 Phone Picture

Seems their site went down

This site is temporarily unavailable while we work to improve the site. We’ll be back soon, better than ever—so please check back later. Thanks for your patience.

This clearly is a big launch. There obviously is a high number of those who at least want to see this dang G2 phone.
From that picture of the G2 page I have there, you can easily see that that specific model of a G2 is not a slide and does not have a full functional keyboard. Making the Android pilot ship rerun, just another droid. I am assuming it is so the G1 users feel they are not left out due to the inability to run droid 2.2

All incidences of the tmobile or Google or g1 or g2 logo, are not my property. They belong to their individual owners. I claim no ownership or responsibility for their greatness or lack of. Please locate their owner for any questions ideas solution or issues. :-)

AVA free FPS is Out Now

August 10th, 2010 TruXter No comments

AVA Free First Person Shooter – FPS of 2010 is out now.

Well the guys at IJJI finally did it. Waited forever for the game and now it is out. I am unable to download  at this time.  Full review will be on the review section of this site soon.

One video game I have been waiting quite some time for.

First person shooters, Good, Free games, Good. Free First personshooters.. Freaking awesome. Free first person shooters that killer graphics, nu worthy.

Runs on Unreal 3 engine.

As good if not better graphics as call of duty Modern Warfare 2.

Down load free game page  http://www2.ijji.com/downloads.nhn

actual page  with previews http://ava.ijji.com/index.nhn

A.V.A. System Requirements

Your computer must meet certain minimum requirements in order
to play Alliance of Valiant Arms.
Before you download and install Alliance of Valiant Arms, please verify your system specifications.meet or exceed the following.

Minimum Requirements Recommended Requirements
CPU P4 2.4GHZ P4 3.0GHZ
Graphics Card Geforce 6600 Geforce 7600GT
Memory 1GB 1GB
OS Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
Direct X Direct X 9.0C

This could get the vote for best free first person shooter of the year, on TruXter Tech Review.
This is in every since a video game made completely for pc gaming. all games should be released as a pc game and then ported to console. Simply because the console port would be easier than the port to pc game. So when a game comes out for pc game first, we are certainly sure it will be a good game. This first person shooter will be the number one Pc game FPS of the year. (by all expectations). I am certain you can not buy a pc game this good.
Best ofs always come in January of the following year. We make sure every game released in a year time gets a chance.

Youtube Increases Video Time Limit

July 29th, 2010 TruXter No comments

You now can upload 15 minute videos. Instead of 10
Cool now the people who pirate movies will be uploading only 4 videos for an hour instead of six.

no really, now my videos can be a little more thorough.
maybe that will stop all of the o.O flash stop and go news(wannabee) videos.
Gives them more time to do more stuff.
:-D

A-Squared Free Is Gone

July 27th, 2010 TruXter No comments

Many of us knew of Asquared free. The software that Emsisoft noticed in Google. It was the best malware scanner out there. Well Emsi found it in their best interest to remove their malware scanner and merge it’s code with their virus scanner. I have no idea how long the virus scanner will be free. I do know the virus scanner / Anti virus was trial for as long as I can remember the company site.

There is another way to still get A-squared free, is by downloading the “emergency kit“. and just run it as a stand alone. The Emergency kit was created for usb use. That I.T. guys can float around the office without having to download and install the software on every single infested computer. Also prevent a virus (during the active infection) from directly attaching it’s self to the malware scanner and crippling it.
I was downloading asquared updates yesterday july 26th 2010 during the day at work. When I got home, it was off the site. I tried to update my home pc but was prompted with a notice of the change and would have to uninstall and that a-squared would no longer scan for me.

By now you understand I got an infection while at work and got spooked by it by the time I got home right? Well I am running the emergency kit. So far found 4 viruses that Norton didn’t find, malware bytes didn’t find and that S&D didn’t find. In fact they all showed I was clean. Even though I got the fake virus scanner prompt on this antiquated operating system (XP).

Starcraft II Release Today

July 27th, 2010 TruXter No comments

Today is the long awaited day for Blizzard fans. Ten years we hoped. For ten years we lost hope. but today, Starcraft II is released. July 27 2010, we get our second edition of Starcraft.
I will be skipping lunch at work today to locate a place to purchase this game. I will be knocking down console kiddies to get my hands on the strategy game of all strategy games.
I will be protoss I will be terran. I will be zerg.
:-)

Bnet will take a beating today. I will wait for the servers to level out. Battle.Net goofed it last time. So lets see what happens this time, now that everyone is broadband and battle net is on a larger server.
