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.

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.

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.

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 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.
The Invisible is a movie from 2007. It’s about this group of people that pick on Nick Powell they wind up almost killing him. The group hides the body so no one know what they did. Now Nick is left invisible to everyone and slowly dying unless he can get help. That’s all I’m going to say about the plot. This movie is amazing, I loved this movie. You should go and see this movie.
Gran Torino The film directed and staring Clint Eastwood is a film that I recently watched. I enjoyed this a lot. It’s a movie about an old “patriot” American that finds everything that isn’t fully American to be distasteful. During the movie he eventually learns otherwise. That’s about all I can say about the plot without giving the whole movie away. This movie is a great movie I think everyone should go see it.
I recently went to see the 3D horror movie My Bloody Valentine 3D. In short I will say I was not pleased with the story line, but I didn’t go see the movie for the story line. I went to see it for the 3D as it is one of the newer 3D movies that are in the horror movie genre. The 3D in this movie was outstanding I really like it. But some parts of the movie were cheesy. For example when one of the characters was holding a gun looking for something they made the gun pass through the screen I felt like they were only trying to show off the 3D. Parts like that the movie could have done without. But all in all it was a okay movie, hopefully this movie will help revolutionize the horror movie genre and then we can look forward to more 3D horror movies.
Combichrist an Aggrotech band, formed by Andy LaPlegua from the band Icon of Coil, has just recently released and amazing new cd entitled Today We Are All Demons.
