This means WAR!!
Aug 1st
XBOX…. When did you turn into a cesspool of hate
I am currently underway with waging war on modders on xbox but not in the way you may think. malicious modding on xbox live needs to stop and xbox support needs to start giving a damn
I don’t know if its poor public relatations or they really dont care what happens to customers on xbox live as long as they get a steady flow of money but this has gotten out of control
Epic wins for modders
Jul 28th
posted over at techland.com *links at the end of article* a land mark ruling has been made. Something i never thought would happen, Its now legal to jailbreak your iphone and to rip DVDS. It seems someone in the higher ups loves to torrent because this has thrown me for a loop
“exemptions to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act is what its being called and these exemptions are amazing! no longer are you tied down by apple and no longer can apple tell you what you can or cant do with a phone you paid for .
i wounder what other implications could be derived from this groundbreaking ruling ;D will it be easier to share movies throughout your home without having to worry about some crazy copywrite protection on your media player
Im excited where this may lead and i will be keeping my eye out for new developments but to catch the full story in detail check out this link

Spirit Hoodies?!?!
Jul 16th
Filed under i just have to have this spirit hoodies are from what i can tell cute hoods that resemble different animal.
When and how i ran into this company was way back around E3 sponsoring the release nexon company you know the ones responsible for awesome mmos such as Mabinogi for that event was non other then Spirit hoods with free hoodies for lucky followers on the vindictus facebook vindictus being the new mmo nexon is to release closely resembling mabinogi …. moving on!
Back when there was only two or three post on there blog site there was little to make of this company except they had intriguing hoodies that i could see myself wearing at some point But expensive. Ranging in the 160 to 200$ price range i immediately stashed this in my possibly down the line folder for things to keep and eye on when price drops.
Thankfully prices have recently gone down to the 60-130$ range with the price drops comes my interest in the product and company again. For a good cause you can get an awesome hood inspired by your favorite animal while at the same time donating to animal rehabilitation programs.
I wish they would put a little side note for people to see while gazing at the different products but at the same times its kinda obvious any hood with the blue tag
means that portion of the proceeds for that hood goes towards non-profit organizations
such as the following
polor bears international : http://www.polarbearsinternational.org
Snow lepard Conservancy : http://www.snowleopardconservancy.org
and plenty more the list goes on you can find the full list here http://spirithoods.com/product-blue/
With such celebs as Method man and ke$ha joining in on the fun
This company with a good heart is making waves and im personally hoping that those waves turns into a tsunami Knocking over everything thing in its path
can’t wait to see new design idea and you better believe me when i say im getting one
all and all its a Awesome idea and an awesome product
check out more at there website http://www.spirithoods.com and ill make sure to keep up to date with news from this awesome company also check out the awesome pictures on there blog
Owner/Designer Alexander Mendeluk gives a quick rundown on how to “rock your hood.”
Halo Reach Beta
May 1st
Ive been playing halo reach beta for the past week and i got to say its different. with 4 different layout added the ability to use a jetpack, the ability to run faster, the ability to go invisible and the ability to punch the ground and not move while generating a temp shield are all thats been added there are new game types and also the ability to stab someone in the back for a more flashy ninja kill. halo reach to me is more like halo 3 2.0 everything still feels the same with a twist there are new weapons that im not even going to go into depth about and some old ones
the hammer is godly in halo reach … a hammer and jetpack is just plain wrong
also … the battle rifle is more like the sniper rifle ive see players already memorize spawn points and get a spawn killing rythm going that just has to be seen it will frustrate you at times but overall the game has been improved not alot is known about the big maps seeing as they are still locked probably till halo beta goes public but here are some screen shots i took and a video to tide you over till monday

Why you should hold off on impulse buying the Ipad
Apr 8th
If i were to give you any advice this would be it, do not buy the ipad. At the very least go to a apple store near you and check out the ipad for yourself before running out on just hype alone. Personally im starting to lose what little apple fanaticism i was starting to have and coming to my senses. Ipad isn’t something you need its something you want and unlike the iphone i don’t think its going to have the same effect as it did in the mobile world. Here are some of the faults i find with the ipad that has me waiting for Microsoft’s version instead.
Stylus
The ability to write out Or Draw things on the ipad is missing instead they lure you in with the ability to multitouch just like you do on the iphone. But what good is that for productivity? Suuure they add an the ability to connect to the ipad with bluetooth devices like a keyboard but i know light weight tablet laptops that can do much more and still come complete with a stylus. Not making the ipad stylus friendly in my opinion was a big loss for apple in my opinion see as a large amount of people i know only look at apple laptops for video and photo editing capabilities.
Size
I don’t care what anyone says size matters. Closer look at the ipad reveals it’s awkwardly smaller then the ipad displayed in their commercials. Also theres a thick black border around the entire device giving the illusion its bigger then it really is. Most people love this boarding saying that its something to hold on to … but if this was ment for your lap and built to work as such why would there need to be a boarder? even if u had to grab it i feel it would be aesthetically pleasing to continue the video screen to the edge and not the touch sensors so that you could still grip the ends without setting off an event but then again i guess it will take a rocket scientist to figure this out
Flash or lack there of
With html5 on it’s way flash seems to not even be as much of an issue as everyone is making it out to be. Although i think that flash is not the issue it’s just the poster boy for what really is everyone’s gripe about apple in general. does the word neo nazis ring a bell? yea i know thats a little extreme but with apple’s ever showing will to keep there product locked down tighter then the fat patrol on guard the day kevin smith decided he wanted to fly south by south west there is little room for innovation. Its not the fact that they wont let flash on the iphone it’s how they went about it as if the iphone was a privilege not a right. You get what they give you and you will like it.
Implement the costumer’s wishes
You would thing that with all the crying about forward facing camera apple would get it but alas this concept has evaded them like splinter cell. The concept of the forward facing camera was video chat for some reason the ceos think that video chat means nothing. Has phreadz.com teached them anything what about seesmic.tv? at the very least stickam as much as they where charging for an over grown iphone you would think that they would add a camera somewhere but were left with a downgraded version of the iphone stretched out just a little to create the ipad.
i was hoping for something more the i7 mobile cpu is in the market now and mobile gpu graphics cards are getting better take for example
mx11 from alienware it’s just not feasible to be an early adopter for ipad specialy when you cant even figure out what to use it for. When you have to ask yourself why is this worth it usually it isn’t worth it at all.
If anything look at the tablet from microsoft named courier. If the ipad was half of what this can do i would already own it and this is what i believe a tablet should be like. But who knows who will come out on top for the first time though im putting my money on microsoft.
Keep an eye out for Otoy!!!

LiveSpace
I remember when news slipped about Live Space what an exciting idea which seemed to already be 98% polished and complete and ready for the market. But that was almost two years ago and we haven’t heard anything since. Here is a link to the original post made two years ago http://blog.modtv1337.com/2008/08/live-space-the-holy-grail-of-mmo/
All that was known was David greenspan co founder of myspace was working on a massive open world where you could live your social life online ( video in the link above )
OnLive
Then there was news of a company called OnLive using similar technology, running high end graphics via the high end server then streaming the content to your handheld or pc. With this method they too are able to run games that would other wise require high end hardware.
Everything would run server side, no need for high end hardware they said and when looking at the information that slipped for live space tech crunch also discovered the company backing live space was Otoy. Two years ago if you looked at the site it was just being built now you can see that they’ve been developing the backing end for this exciting technology all along.
Otoy
Otoy makes it possible for you to play crysis on your iphone O.o
Altho it’s exciting to know you no longer need to have the latest gpu to enjoy good games, i feel that bus speed will always be faster. No matter what they say lag will be inherent and if not i would be very curious as to how they got over this historical hurtle. Otoy’s proposition is exciting but i doubt it will kill the already too popular xbox as i said before and what i will say again only time will tell but what’s good news for all you mac fanboys out there you can now game your little heart out without having to use some third party application and if anything this is a windows killer now that there is a nice fast easy way to play games in the browser i dont think anyone will be interested in windows anymore when there are far more exciting operation systems out there like linux. you heard it here first
Otoy the Microsoft Windows killer.
