The best gaming investment ever! i must say ladies and gents.


This thing is friggin amazing its like a direct insult to all Americans well because were a tad Obese i purchased my new friend about 2 days ago i know i know a little late. But someone finally had it in stock whatever the case i love it and i am exited to get skinny, i currently way about 160 pounds i know fatass! but im exited to see if this will work. the use of the initial product is not bad at all its fun and extremely accurate. The only con is that the graphics aren't really great but whatever all Nintendo needs to do is shit another wii out and they are $$$$$.

Htc shift :/


Why!!!? why!!!!? After months and months of delay the Htc shift has been taunting us! It was so beautiful in my eyes; I really thought it was going to be the umpc steroid that would hopefully spread to other companies. But with everything in life there are disappointments which sadly enough the shift is in my eyes. The specs are just killing me it all sounds good on paper but physically wow I mean 2 hours of b-life on vista....vistaaaaa!! No option of xp once so ever. I do have some pros like snap vue which is a technological ingenuous it lets you be connected for 3 days with no battery drain, also the form is beautiful very slick and thin as well as the unique sliding laptop for like the At&t tilt. Whether or not you’re in to having the latest greatest expensive products the Htc shift is one that i just do not recommend.

microsoft the future?




I always love hearing or seeing interviews with Mr. Bill Gates involved because he has a great imagination for what will be next for computers, he always mentions computers on desks and walls and all those crazy cool fun ideas that make the future seem more plausible and modern and that makes me smile. I always feel like were living in the past, it would be great for me to have a piece of super thin paper that I can simply fold and store it comfortably in my pocket (the paper being a full computer) of course, I want my one device that does and controls all I want a super computer in my pocket! But maybe that future is too far away anyways see what Microsoft dreams below. Microsoft has been holding a contest entitled "next generation pc design competition" and boy the products are beautiful. I like the paper pc I think its plausible in the next 25 years considering the fact the readius should be out mid 2008 :) exiting. I like this concept called Momenta which is a necklace type of pc that records your life and has all those great emotion capturing features. Ladies and gentle men if computers look anything like this in the future I will be a very happy man. Check out the website belowww and if you have the talent and passion try designing the pc of the future yourself have fun.(http://www.nextgendesigncomp.com/Default.aspx)

I don’t even want to begin to talk about that. well I am saying this right now and right now only if great powerful modern apple decides for us to pay $$$ for the 3rd party apps I will throw away my iphone and get a windows mobile phone, yes i said it throw away a 500$ phone that makes me feel osoooo cool. I will be livid if we have to pay for apps lets hope not. Well I hope we get copy and paste and some other neat stuff think you know what’s going to be in the SDK?? Comment belowww.

Ew Apple Tv!


Take two update or whatever is out for apple TV this month is finally here. I noticed people all over the world lining up to get their hands on the hottest device evvverrr!!! Okay not so much but give Apple a break with that amazing UI (its rather disgusting) who wouldn’t want to purchase one of these. well before on take 1 or apple TV original you got that little 6- button white remote that closely resembles the ipod shuffles size I mean wow why would people want to control so much with such a little remote, and of course with 2008 take 2 you get the same remote surprising or lazy (gesture control anybody willing to make it happen?). Don’t get me wrong I love apple and all their designs but uh app TV no tanks. The new UI (user interface for the newbie’s) is killing me I think I like the first one better and the whole concept of apple TV kills me too its just not what consumers are looking for in my perspective the only thing I respect is the movie rentals being directly loaded onto your TV, other than that you can keep your TV, apple. Tell me what you think comment below. Here are the 2008 specs for apple TV.

Android Hands-On Video: It's Fast, It's Still Not There

We have been playing with the Android prototypes scattered through the Mobile World Congress. ARM had theirs running on a humble ARM9 processor in a plain white prototype "to demonstrate the scalability of Android." It works, it's fast. But it's not there yet and the Qualcomm prototype demonstrates how far we are are from an actual product.

You get a warm touchy touchy feeling when you see these two cars because well they aren’t trucks or race cars but well try. i like the design of the Aptera a lot I think it looks very modern and unique, too unique? Maybe. The Smartfortwo is uh okay I don’t think it has a great design but I do like the size very small perfect for stealing parking spaces? I don’t see this car succeeding in the U.S market very well, because we always carpool and we keep many things in our trunks but you never know with a price like $16,000 people may consider a smaller over the electric $26,900 Aptera price and the plug-in hybrid $29,900 pretty hefty compared to the smartfortwo.

Aptera(website faQ)
How fast will the Aptera go?

At this time we are not able to post hard numbers on performance, although top speed for the production model will exceed 85 mph, going from 0-60 in under 10 seconds.



Can the Aptera be ordered without the rear camera and GPS?

We are considering what features will be standard equipment, and what will be a value-added option.



How long will it take to charge the Aptera?

This depends on the amount of battery discharge but a typical time would be 2 to 4 hours.



How much will it cost for an overnight charge?

Looking at typical California electricity rates the cost should be in the $1 to $2 range for an overnight charge.



Will you be able to accommodate tall drivers?

The Aptera will comfortably fit someone that is 6'1" and with minor seat pad adjustments you can be as tall as 6'5" and drive comfortably.



What is the turning radius?

The Aptera's turning radius will be similar to most small production cars.



What will be the battery life and cost replacement?

This depends largely on usage and if you have an "All Electric" or an "Electric Plug-in Hybrid" version of the Aptera. We will share these exact numbers when they become available closer to the start of Aptera production.



What is the seating and cargo space?

The Aptera has "two plus one" seating allowing plenty of room for driver and passenger while an infant seat (newborn to age three) can be located in the middle behind the front seating. There is enough storage space to fit 15 bags of groceries, two full-size golf club bags or even a couple of seven foot surf boards.



Does the Aptera fit into a parking space?

Yes, the Aptera fits in a standard parking space.



Where are the windshield wipers?

The windshield wipers are hidden and located at the base of the windshield to maintain efficient air flow over the Aptera's body.



Will you be able to get other colors?

Currently white is the only color that will initially be made available on the Aptera. White is a very effective color for keeping your Aptera cool in the summer and it makes the vehicle very identifiable at night which is an added safety feature. After initial production has begun we will look at different colors and possibly vinyl graphics to accessorize your Aptera.



Why aren't you using a diesel engine in the hybrid?

Due to the way diesel emissions are calculated (emissions per gallon instead of emissions per mile); it's proven impossible for us to find a suitable small Diesel engine that passes California emissions. That's why we're using a very clean, efficient, and small gasoline engine that will make the Aptera emissions friendly.



Can I change my vehicle from an electric to hybrid or vice versa?

In the coming months, the MyAptera.com owners' page will be made available. On this page, you will be able to adjust any option including hybrid/electric. Nothing is final until you receive your purchase agreement about a month prior to obtaining your vehicle.
