My plan is to go to the new IKEA today and see if i can find some cheap solutions to my hoarding problem. Then again, maybe I should just throw some stuff away. No, I might need that stuff later. The first step to fixing your problem is admitting you have one, right?

Atari US is reconstructing, and its owners are showing a light of optimism that they could regain the market they once held. But Atari US said that their arm operating in Europe is doing just fine, despite the changes happening in the US. It is business as usual for Atari Europe.

Today is the release of the long-awaited video game Halo 3. The Halo franchise has spawned an amazing array of other products included books, comics, and action-figures.

The media itself has had to begin to take notice of the overwhelming response to a new video game or video game platform release. I found 3 TV channels that had countdown shows for the release of Halo 3. No longer do the game-geeks have to feel like second-class citizens, for the drive the market.

Long live the geeks.

Oh, and long live Master Chief.

Even worse than missing the content, I have usually missed the first part of the ticker, so all I know for sure is what happened, not usually who it happened to. Therefore I am forced to re-watch the entire ticker again to figure out who the info is about, inevitably separated by at least one commercial break. And what happens then? First, I don’t care, and second, I have missed more content on the show. Anyone else feel my pain?

Here is a tidbit from their website:

“Ecomotion: Earth Friendly New and Pre-Owned Vehicles is a fresh and enterprising new green car emporium offering automotive buyers a fantastic opportunity to take greener steps toward a more sustainable future. An innovative contributor to the field of smart energy transportation, Ecomotion demonstrates that business can act as a catalyst for inspiration.”

I have always been a huge fan of Drum Corps International, the governing body of the Drum Corps activity, but I have a little complaint about technology. Several years ago, DCI decided to allow some types of electronica into an activity that was, until then, exclusively horns, drums, and the occasional ensemble vocal sound. I thought nothing of it, and was only concerned that there would be the potential of using a keyboard or synthesizer to mimic things that should be done on the field.

Two weekends ago I took a trip down to Pasadena, Ca and more specifically, the Rose Bowl to see the DCI World Championships. Several of the groups used a microphone to describe things happening in their show, I hated it, but I understood the artistic license.

Now, there is one Corps, called the Cadets that have always been progressive in my opinion, but i think they have gone too far. During the entire show, they had corps members whine about not fitting in, or talk about there favorite parts of practice, or discuss what they could do better. I could NOT even hear the music or pay attention to the marching or colorguard at all while this talking was going on, full blast through a microphone. It was like watching a movie in front of someone who was using their cell phone to discuss the reasons their latest relationship just didn’t work out.

I call for a removal of all all technology-based electronica from a sport that was originally played on a stretched skin and an animal horn. NO MORE MICROPHONES DCI!

With a 2 megapixel camera, I can now take pictures like a pro. I can even edit my pictures to incorporate my preferences, as well as print them via Pictbridge Direct Printing easily! Plus, it comes with a digital player that support RealVideo and RealAudio, as well as MPEG-4, MP3, WAV, AAC, AMR, 3gp, and many more media formats. With the many messaging services offered, I can communicate with my colleagues easily! This indeed makes the perfect mobile partner for me!

Blade server basics:

Definition: blade servers are part of a computer configuration where power, cooling, storage and connectivity are largely provided by an outer housing or chassis. The chassis contains and services a number of specialised, stripped down motherboard units - the blade servers - each one a complete computer or service device containing only vital processing and storage elements.

Blade server technology was initially developed in the early millennium through a partnership between IBM and Intel. Later, a number of major companies, led by IBM, formed an “industry community” in February 2006, with a website base at blade.org. The mission of the community is to “accelerate the growth and adoption of [blade] technologies in the market.”

The PS3 comes with a Blu-ray disc drive, which lets me play high-definition Blu-ray movies, and not just the regular DVDs. Plus, with its 60GB hard drive, I can save virtually anything I want onto the system! And with Bluetooth support, I can then play whatever games with wireless controls easily! To top it all off, I can play online games for free as well! This is indeed the sweetest game console I have ever encountered!

Security issues such as bluejacking, bluebugging, and bluesnarfing are getting common. Most of the security breaches perpetrated using the Bluetooth technology lead to problems such as denial of service and mobile viruses, Trojans, and worms hosting. Another annoying problem Bluetooth users experience is called bluespamming. This one works very similar to email spamming.

By twisting the screen, I can then view my notebook the way I would a regular book, or even the way I watch television! Plus, the Intel Pentium M processor lets me use all sorts of applications at optimum speed! What’s more, Toshiba’s very own Shock Protection System gives ultimate protection from impacts and such, as well as reliability for my hardware components!

The Olympus Stylus 710 comes with 28 shooting modes, so I can experiment with the effects I would want on my photos. Plus, it has the Digital Image Stabilization Mode, which lets me take whatever image I want in picture perfect clarity. And with its Bright Capture Technology, I can then take high-end pictures in whatever condition and lighting. Even my friends are impressed with the pictures I just took of them last weekend!

The headphones also have a smarter and more attractive design to it, since it comes with a gold-plated plug. The pair’s volume control is also very easy to manipulate and is very hassle-free to use when I adjust the volume as I go about my daily routine. The technological advances of Panasonic are also exhibited through the frequency response at a range of 14 Hz to 24000 Hz. Buying this pair has given me no room for regrets at all.

The S-301 also boasts of the latest technology that gives you the superior sound quality I so want from my system. Connectivity and operation of the whole system is also made easier, especially when it comes to connecting my portable players! With Dolby Pro Logic II, sound enhancement is made possible from audio files, to MP3 files, and even to 5.1-channel DVDs! This is truly one of the most innovative speaker systems from Denon!

I also like the front controls that come with the monitor. You can actually adjust a lot of aspects with the front controls easily, such as brightness, sharpness, contrast, gamma correction, color balance, and color temperature! Oh, and the sleek design of the monitor greatly helps as well! I am definitely getting me one of these!

The printer also comes with two paper trays, to hold regular and photo paper easily. What’s more, I can print on both sides of the paper without having to flip the page over! Now this is indeed a very attractive feature! Learning about these features has certainly persuaded me to get this model printer from Canon.

All laptops have problems with battery life. More often than not, its battery run out even before the user had finished doing their tasks on their computer. AMD is looking to solve that problem. It is looking to create a processor that works with lesser heat and least power required. Therefore, the laptop’s battery won’t run out faster than it should.
