SOPA Could Sopa Threaten Legitimate Reviews?

Posted onAuthorTruXter

While looking at the list of Sopa Supporters, I can’t help but wonder what their motive is for supporting a law that is pitched to stop online piracy. There are shoe companies supporting SOPA. Shoe companies and wire makers.
One wire company is known for selling tv audio cables for $200+ While the quality of the audio from the cables doesn’t get any better than what is produced by the hardware they are connected to.  This leads to the whole post here. This company has tons of negative reviews for misleading people into buying a $200 cable that is no better than a $15 cable. If sopa is passed, then saying that company’s name would be an infringement on their intellectual property.

Means I can not tell you the name of the company and warn you who’s company to watch out for.

Is this what the planet has become? Slaves to a corporate world that tells us what we like and assures us it is the best available and does not let us say different?

I will personally boycott every company on that list I linked to. I am not suggesting that you do anything.

Just telling you what I am going to do.. Even if SOPA fails. We think it probably will not.

Top Ten Podcasters of the Year: TruXter’s Choice

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Well the year has brought so much news to the tech world, Via podcasts. Since that is a media source, TruXter tech Review will list the choice of podcasters for 2009. From tenth place down to the number one spot.

These podcasts are not necessarily  all tech, it’s the means in which this media is brought to us that makes it tech. There is great talent and tons of devotion in these people, that is why they are making the list. There are some that are very talented but had no devotion or motivation to carry on this year as they had in the past years. So this year they will not be making it to this list. Some are great talent but a bit slacking this year so their scoring isn’t as wonderful as it could be. This post is not to bash, but show apreciation, keep that in mind if your or your favorite podcaster is not in the top 2.

There will be no award that can be given other than readers of this site, a chance to listen to the media on the podcaster’s site. So i hope they enjoy the notoriety, no matter how small the traffic might be or low the number of interested link followers their are.Well without further  blathering, this is the list of 2009’s podcasters we hope to hear more from during 2010.

If you know someone with a podcast that should have made the list, leave their link. If it’s your link please let me know. i will gladly listen to more than one episode. probably every episode you do within 2010. Just respond to this post.
