Apple and Google tv.... another worthless product from your favorite people

Apple TV - $99

Pros -
          1. Its small
          2. It has an apple on it
          3. Steve Jobs is holding it
        
Cons -
          1. Its an apple product
          2. It requires that you have a computer
          3. You have to pay for just about everything you watch.... typical
          4. Doesn't play YouTube videos
          5. Can't get on Facebook either.
          6. No Storage (i think)

What this little black box does is connect your TV to your iTunes account on your computer. So you can listen to music, look at your photos, and watch movies and tv shows from your library or rent them ( Does anyone really sit down that often to show people pictures, like I have never got all my friends around my computer to show them my pictures. Ever apple device always has the ability to show a slide show of their pictures, but I only think a few people out of the millions only really use it.. like old people with grandkids... or in reality probably don't know how to set it up to be able to do it... so they just resort to the photo album books that are at least 10 years out of date) . So basically, this is just like having your iTunes hooked up to your tv for 100 bucks.... yay...

Google TV - $200

Pros -
           1. Its shiny as opposed to apple tv's matte color
           2. Made by logitech - that in itself is better than apple
           3. You can get on Facebook and YouTube... at the same time!!
           4. Netflix!
           5. You can get apps!
Cons -
          1. Its $200 bucks
          2. Doesn't connect to iTunes
          3. No Storage

So basically this is just a small computer.. that doesn't do a lot of things but web browse and stream videos. For a big price tag.

To have my iTunes on my tv. The ability to watch YouTube and chat it up on facebook (and heck write a blog post).  I have invented my own device.

 Drew ShoeBox computer - $20 (All I had to buy was a keyboard and mouse!)

Pros -
          1. Was $20
          2. Fully functional computer that runs Linux Ubuntu
          3. I can surf the web at blazing single core 2.6Ghz speeds..
          4. You can even play video games!
          5. 700 gigs of space for movies, tv shows, and music .. (and I guess pictures but I have none)

Cons -
          1. You have to turn it on with a screwdriver by connecting to prongs on the motherboard
          2.  Might catch on fire being on a shoebox
          3. Not the prettiest thing, but for a dorm room its freaking awesome




So my point being is that what Apple and Google offers is just something to take your money for something you might already have.  I'm sure some people have old computers at home and you cant easily convert it into a shoebox computer and hook it up to your tv, even if it is "slow" you can install Ubuntu and it makes any slow computer fast.  Or if you have a laptop you can also easily hook it up to your tv and watch whatever is on your computer on your tv. Save your money, ask a smart friend or grandkid to set your laptop up to your tv... its simple...

How to make money..

you charge something for something....

Kids ages 10-17 shouldn't have access to computers/video cameras/ and xbox live

Why?... Because they be troll'n (definition of internet troll http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet))

YouTube is awesome, because you can come across some crazy stuff... like.. crazy ... (there are people out there that film some weird stuff)

for example: if you want to experience and acid trip with out taking acid, and watch something over again for an hour... watch this ->  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FavUpD_IjVY

But, YouTube is also tainted with the 12 year old trolls.., and I just came across the newest. Apparently, a group of gay twelve year old computer hackers with "connections", who love Justin Bieber, have declared war on all Justin Bieber haters. First off, when did twelve year olds start coming out of the closet, and why are gay kids computer hackers... whatever.. anyways.. these kids say that they have peoples ip addresses of JB haters and they are going to suspend their YouTube accounts, get them arrested, and do who knows what to their computers if they dont take down all the JB hater videos and websites.  Also, main homeboy claims that his uncle works for the FCC and he has a program that he can type in an IP address and everything about whose ever ip address that is comes up.... mhmm, the FCC regulates tv radio ect.. not internet.(I think thats the FBI and CIA's area of operation). and a program does not exist that tells who you are with just an ip address.. because, an ip address changes when ever I move my computer or get on an wireless network.. and all my other address on my computer I can change fairly easily as well.. so if he searched for my ip (which is possible) it would just say I'm in Waco.  So, this kids hacking skills are crap. He probably just learned how to ping somebody and though it was the koolest thing in the world, or he came across the Network utility on his mac and thought traceroute traced a route to that ip or whois tells you exactly who that ip address is... dumb kids, learn some real hacking skills!!

Heres the video for your viewing pleasure and comic relief from a stressful day:


I'm surprised that first kid wasn't waring a v-neck, and were did these parents go wrong?  These two kids need to get together with Chris Crocker (that tranny guy who made the video, "LEAVE BRITTNEY ALONE") and talk about cloths, boys, or something like that, and stay away from a computer and video camera.  The're making America look bad to people from other countries on the internet...

And here is my point of all this. Justin Bieber is ruining America!!! He is fueling the everyday troll and turning your average gay 12 year old into a computer hacker.  We need to stop playing his music and buying his posters!  He's popularity will soon go away, just like his high pitch voice... and the gay 12 year olds with take their Barbies back in to the closet and put away the cameras... And YouTube will be back to videos like this:


yes.. thats how it should be :D

Are people with really big iPhone cases clumsy... or do they just want to look stupid?..

Unless your playing a contact sport WITH your iPhone as and objective, you have a problem of dropping your phone out the window of a moving car, or you have anger management problems and throwing your phone against the wall solves problems. Then a bullet proof case is probably not for you. These are the ones that I have in mind: 

Oakley case- Match's your sunglasses... (that are probably over sized too). Also, try sticking this in your jeans pocket..

The OMG- Because when your bff sees this she will say, "OMG!!!:D your phone matches your bag!!AHHH!!" and I bet you paid $150 for it...

The Bungee jumper- just in-case you forget what type of phone you have while throwing it against the wall or your ex boyfriend, there is a window on the back that reminds you $400 of your money went to Jobs. Plus try putting this in and out of your jeans too, let alone have it just sitting in your pants and make all the people around you wonder what you got going down there...

The snorkeler texter/tweeter - Yes this bad boy is only water resistant up to three meters... lame.. For something that looks like that I want it water proof to up to 200 feet so if I'm scuba diving and I happen to be close to an underwater cellphone tower (or I guess cellphone buoy) I can google what to do if I get stung by a jelly fish... or get stabbed in the chest by a sting ray. This came out a little too late for Mr. Irwin..... (to soon?)

The Photographer - "I'm here to take a serious picture, but all I have is my iPhone.. let me use my serious picture app"- this thing is $200 and you can put different lenses on it...really?...

Come on people its a phone.. not a baby.. all you need at least is a small case for those accidental waist high free falls. Or, just go naked iPhone.. I mean really, why do you need to protect it if your only going to get one next summer... rich people...Plus, why do people get those $35 dollar screen protectors that make your screen look all foggy and have air bubbles underneath them.. Who cares if you get like 3 scratches on the screen... I had only like 4 scratches on my old iPhone I had for two and a half years..big whoop....If somebody made a case for the case of your iPhone.. people would buy it.

The future of the internet.... As I see it at least...

First off, a word from Prince; ""The Internet's completely over” - “The Internet's like MTV. “At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you." 


No Prince, you are over.. and have been over for a (very) long time.  I think he just cant figure out how to use them and since he cant use them, then nobody can use them... oh well...  Anyways, I will continue filling numbers in my head and use the internet and gadgets.  So as Prince dies in his world of sending letters in the mail and talking to people in person rather than on facebook, we will continue wasting our lives filling numbers into our head, which apparently is not good. 


Apples next step at taking over the world.

Its a 3G (maybe 4G but who really cares) macbook.  So now you pay for a data plan on your phone, a data plan for your ipad, and a data plan for your computer.  Making it to where theres really no excuse for you not responding to my post I left on your wall in less than 30 minutes.  So, computers will eventually get internet via wireless signals and hopefully by the time that is mainstream it will be super duper fast and super duper cheap because a data plan aint worth about 30 bucks a month.  Or I will be the old guy still plugging a wire in to the back of my computer...Secondly about the internet that I see happening is that Obama (or future government nut job (cause there will be one with the people voting these days(we really have a ton of idiots in this country, anyways)))  will put a ton of blocks over what we can an cant do on the internet and control all the information and read all your emails, blogs, and facebook walls!!!(the book 1984 wasnt lying, it was just a few years off!!!)  They will also jack the prices of internet services up to help pay for your neighbors foot fungus and government cheese.... and help pay China that they will hold off an invasion until we all learn mandarin (thats Chinese for some of you).  To rebel against the government I have devised a plan for an underground internet service! I haven't started work on it yet, but when I do it will be awesome! All you need is a satellite dish, computer hacking skills (I will write a how-to pamphlet, so dont worry), and an extra car battery.  Ill let yall know when its ready and make sure you get your satellite dish soon before its illegal to have one.  Heres one for $20 http://compare.ebay.com/like/350400675753. as for a plan against fighting off China invading... Stock up on guns and plan to defend your your house, cause we might not have a military by then.  So if you need me when that time comes, look for me on my version of facebook on my underground internet, and if I'm away or I haven't updated my status in a while its because I deafening my little piece of whats left of America!!!

With that said, Have a happy Monday! And idk why the text ^^^ is in different fonts and sizes....

I asked Taylor Swift to marry me

On her Facebook Page....

Email scam to legit to pass up

Every once in awhile I get an email offering me about 20% of a large fortune, only if I help them transfer money from Africa to the US and pay about 7 grand in “transfer fees” that I will be reimburse for later.  A pretty sweet deal huh?  All I have to do is help some stranger transfer about 25 million US dollars.. psh no big deal…. Well, turns out MSNBC did a special on these scams and found out it is a group of people operating out of Africa and the UK who are trying to find random people to get 7 grand from, then they disappear.   They will tell you that they don’t have the money yet and they need to you pay some random fee for them to help transfer the money, and then you will get a percent of it… Apparently, people fall for this…  So, usually the story goes is that some oil tycoon executive from usually Nigeria has died and this family member needs your help to transfer this money to a US account and you’re the only person they have found to help… I feel so special!! But today, I received a new story! And this one is filled with more lies than an Obama speech!   It made me laugh more than all the others, so I’d thought I would report:

It starts out saying,  “my name is Edwin Becker from the hospitality state (Mississippi).” Ok, first off when somebody says they are from a certain state they never say the state slogan that’s written on license plates.  Like I don’t walk around saying, “howdy yall! I’m from the lone star state!!! (Texas for yall that don’t know)… No, nobody does that.  Plus, who from Mississippi is named Edwin? Come on, Bubby J would be more acceptable here…  Any ways, he then goes on to explain how he is an army contractor working in the reconstruction of destroyed building offering advice on how to rebuild… “Yeah, this broken building….  Yeah, you need to fix it… Okkkkay… all done here time for lunch”…. Besides his lame job excuse he then says he was in the basement of a building that was a former Al Qaeda hide out. (I thought Al Qaeda was only in Afghanistan and not Iraq… hmm, whatever) and he found a small cellar door.  He then decided to break in to the cellar in pursuit of riches. (Oh yeah, two soldiers are with him for “protection”, because the destroyed former Al Qaeda buildings are dangerous).  Inside this cellar he finds six boxes with huge pad locks on them.  If breaking into this cellar wasn’t wrong enough, he breaks in to these boxes too. This is what he says that is in them, “On forcing the boxes open, we discovered several armored weapons including bullets. One of the boxes was filled with hard drugs (heroine) and two to my amazement was filled with money.” Dude the guns have bullets in them!! Hot Action!! And there are hard drugs… like heroine!!. (and yes he used “two” instead of “to”) And OMG I would have never guessed hard cold cash would be in here! This must be where they get their funding!. … I thought the only drug Al Qaeda came into contact with was anthrax…. Hmm, guess Bin Laden is a dope head too… And WOW! There is cash two!!!.  Mr. Edwin then says it took them three hours to count this massive amount of money.. (During this three hours did they miss nap time?)…. The total ended up being $23.5 MILLION!! Holy crap im totally in this deal now for sure!!!...  Now 23.5 mill if it were in hundred dollar bills would be about 235,000 bills and since there were three of them they would have counted about 78,333 bills in three hours… BULL CRAP!!... Any ways…. They decided to hand over the drugs and the guns with bullets over to the higher ranking officers and keep the money in a safe hiding place for themselves (typical). And my job would be to keep all this cash money until they were done serving in Iraq and in return I would get 20%!! Oh boy, that’s 4 million!!! I can’t believe they trust me!! Man, I’m totally sold on this idea…. Pretty lame huh? Yet comical… Well I decided to write a more believable version for Mr. Edwin that I’m emailing back to him.

Hello fellow American. My name is Bubba J Bush from the great old American state of Texas!!! and I am a demolition officer for the US Army. My job is to blow up already destroyed buildings in Iraq to make way for new western style strip malls.  While in one building I noticed this room with a huge lock on it… so I blew it up… then inside there were boxes with bigger locks on them.. so I blew them up two.(hehe I misspelled “to”) Inside these explosive resistant boxes I found guns, bombs, booze, drugs(only the hard kind like crack and heroine), whores, and of course a crap ton of money!.  Well, we already finished shooting off all the guns and blowing up the bombs, the booze is almost all gone, the whores have ran away, and I snorted the last line of coke and shot up my last dirty syringe of heroine.. but it’s kind of hard to dump roughly 23 million in Iraq because thers nothing to buy here… so can we ship you this money to keep for us till where done here then will give you 20% of it… k, thx bro.. peace…

Believable? Oh yeah!
