Smartphones

October 4, 2011

This is my rant about the smartphones and iPhones.

Ok so they put a better processor in the iPhone 4S. Added some fancy voice recognition stuff. Added 64gb size. And made the camera 1080p and 8 mega pixels. Increased talk time on 3G. Decreased wifi data usage. Made it heavier but made it smaller.

There is nothing truly revolutionary with the iPhone 4S. Next will be the iPhone 5 after that they will release the iPhone 5S. And it will repeat. But at each number increment they will add some fancy feature many of which will may be deemed not needed. Example FaceTime that was a great feature but honestly how often do people use it? I’ve only used it like 5 time. Don’t get me wrong the phones will get faster processors to handle the new feature but it seems we have reached the limit for now. Anything else added maybe unnecessary.

The windows phone has some feature catching up to do but they will catch up. Android and iPhone I believe have reached the point of optimum features. Nothing else is really needed in a phone.

I believe phone technology has reached a point where smartphones have everything they need. Phones have been revolutionized but I believe that revolution is over.

It’s time for a new revolution in something else. Phones are good now. They do everything anyone has ever imagined and even more.

Old Times

November 26, 2010

I remember when I first heard about the fact that the iPod Touch was going to come out and it was going to have WiFi. My initial reaction was why does an iPod need WiFi? The ideas I came up with for the possibly of things you could do with an iPod with WiFi are, use it to crack WiFi networks, run nmap on open networks, use it torrent music and never need to use a computer to update the iPod music.

Now it seems that an iPod without WiFi just seems so, how shall i put this I think I’ll go with disconnected. An iPod without WiFi seems so disconnected. Funny how much things change.

Wow

July 5, 2010

All I can say is wow. That even after seven or so years of not talking to someone, you still get along with them and it’s basically picking up right where we left off it’s awesome. All I can say right now is that I can not wait to see what lies ahead. Only time will tell. The fact that I like spending time with that person makes things that much better and worth while.

3 Hours of Stick Men

May 27, 2010

The other day I was at a friends house, he decided to draw some art. Well I absolutely suck at art related things, that are not on the computer. I had nothing to do while he drew his picture, so I decided to draw stick men. I drew stick men for three hours. I ended up drawing a picture of some stick men war, I also drew my favorite word/question why. The photo above and the ones below the break are the result. Enjoy.

Reverse conspiracy

May 25, 2010

You know how manual cars can go to first, second, third, and so on. Well there is only one reverse. The reason that there is one reverse is because if there was more than one reverse and you drove with the doors open your car would fly.

Google TV

May 22, 2010

A few days ago Google announced Google TV. You can read more about Google TV here. The Google TV idea is an old one, there are already devices that can do the same thing that the Google TV will do. For example Apple TV. The Apple TV would be a better solution for people who already have iDevices and have bought movies and/or music in iTunes. More about the Apple TV here. Another example of a devices that already does the exact same thing that the Google TV will do is Boxee. Boxxe is an open source solution that can be used on any Windows, Linux, Mac computer, and you can even hack install it to an Apple TV. More about Boxee here. The only major difference is that the Google TV will be built in to some TVs and will be able to browse the internet, and from the sounds of it, it will have the Google app store on it. The only way as of right now I would consider buying a Google TV is if they make it 3D and have gesture recognition now that would be cool.

iPhone OS 4

April 12, 2010

I have downloaded and installed the new iPhone OS 4 on my iPhone 3GS. My initial thoughts on it are that it is very nice. Multitasking works great. Spell Check is an added bonus as well as folders. Below are some screen shots of some of the new features I have found in OS 4. Photos are below the break.

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

January 31, 2009

I recently saw the movie Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. I expected it to not be as good as the last 2 underworlds because this one is a prequel. Besides the fact that this one is prequel the first half of this movie, I found to be quite boring it was a task to sit through the first half it was interesting but it failed to entertain me. The 2nd half of this movie was much better. The 2nd half is when the Lycans started to revolt against the vampires. The ending of this movie lined up perfectly with the first Underworld movie.

Time Warp

January 26, 2009

Time Warp is a TV show on Discovery Channel. The show takes things and puts them in slow motion, creating this interesting thing I like to call slow-motion-art. I think this show is worth watching it’s very interesting to see things in slow motion. You should check this show out.
