Hacker pays for fake hack advertisement outed? WTF
2008-03-27 06:01:00
Ok in one of the most bizarre things I've seen happen in a long while, you see in the matter of hours we've seen a bunch of billboards supposedly hacked in Los Angeles, to force a hacker's image into the advertising rotation. Now while this might have been the biggest security breach ever for advertising, But apparently instead of the coolest hack ever. It turns out that it might have been one of the best advertisements to ever come across those billboards ever! The story was picked up about the hack by just about every tech news agency, I mean come on this is enough coverage that the dude could probably have sold teak patio furniture on his website and would have made a killing. I still don't get why he didn't "hack it" with a website address. But then again maybe that's the beauty of it a hacker logo sprawled all over a bunch of billboards and tada a huge news story! But here's the bad news, it was exactly that, advertisement and not free advertisement that was hacked ...

Finding a business loan for a buddy.
2008-03-27 05:17:00
I'm working my butt off here trying to find a Loan for one of my buddies that I do a lot of programming and side jobs for me. The thing is he's looking to launch a major project I'm talking multi million dollars a year but the issue is he can't finance the take off. I mean the guy has some great ideas, the entire business plan is laid out and ready to go he has even setup the company with a few business partners. The fact is though that banks tend to be EXTREMELY shy of giving new businesses large Loans of 1-2 million dollars. The problem seems to really rear it's ugly head when they find out that the item that they're buying with the Unsecured Loans is off shore it's an even bigger problem. What's more upsetting is that he has even looked into doing the loan via different loaning platforms and spreading the needed money over several banks and loans but even then it's a problem. The question comes down to finding a company that is willing to take risks. Now that he has Am...

16gb Samsung P2 now available ... in Canada!
2008-03-27 04:10:00
Well we all know their aren't any iPhone's in Canada ... officially ;) Just like their aren't any in St. Maarten, but I've got one loving it! But it looks like Canada has something even the US doesn't have yet. A 16gb Samsung YP-P2, but then again I wouldn't take out any long term insurance on the guarantee that it will stay a Canadian exclusive for long. Canada's a big market so the iPhone will eventually launch there and the US is you know... the US so of course Samsung will bring those sexy 8gb extra to the us as well. Best buy Canada is currently the one bringing this behemoth to those Canadians to the north, aye! ;) For those of you that don't know the YP-P2 is a pretty sexy PMP but one of the coolest features is the fact that it's one of the few if not the only PMP to support Bluetooth 2.0, 3" touchscreen controls, H.264, OGG and WMV playback. The new 16gb model will set you back 330$ Canadian at bestbuy, which is actually a 40$ Canadian discount from their website, ...

The new Ihome IH69... ooooh sexy

You know I'm a 110% Microsoft fan, I love pretty much every product they make. But lately I've defected a bit, not from Microsoft exactly but well yes actually. I went and i got a Macbook a few months ago, yes i have windows on it and it runs great, but the fact is even for a windows PC apple just happens to kick every windows manufacturers ass hands down. I'm not sure if dell and hp are being run by drunks that need to go through some deep rehabs or what but what I do know is that their laptops are crap in comparison to a Macbook dualbooting OSX and Vista. Then I went and bought an iPhone because Windows Mobile 7 was so far off and is still a ways off, yes the Xperta X1 is sexy no doubt but its still Windows Mobile 6.1 only underneath and i wanted something solid and the iPhone was that. The one good bit of my defection from my old Razr and Zune (don't worry my girlfriends already using the hell out of the Zune) is the fact i get to use the cool iPod accessories that I've b...

How do they give away ...
2008-03-24 04:42:00
I just don't get it as most of my visitors know I play a bit of online gaming, the latest is the online casino rushmore it drew my interest like some others not for unique games. I mean most casinos even the ones you visit in person are pretty much the same games. But once again it's a casino that's offering up to 888$ matching bonus for new members. My question is how do they manage to match that much money, I mean i know in casino games the odds are stacked against the player even in games like roulette where their are some pretty strong strategies. But still to match almost a thousand dollars seems un sustainable, yet more and more casinos are offering matching bonuses from 500$ all the way up to 1000$. What's funny is that as far as i checked the blackjack rushmore offers is about the same as what is offered by a casino that I can go to locally here in the Caribbean, yet with rushmore I get a massive deposit bonus. So why would I go to a local real casino if online casin...

1TB flash thumb drives on the horizon, Array-Based Flash the key?
2008-03-22 04:43:00
SSD is ridiculously expensive, and flash is getting bigger but come on a 16gb flash thumb drive is still quite expensive. The chances of us seeing 500gb or 1tb flash drives like that in our life time for cheap is impossible, or is it? Apparently It just might be as a company by the name of Nanochip has a design for a new type of memory flash chip that would make 1TB chips possible quite soon, ok you won't find it on directbuy next year but their best estimate is within 10 years, possibly sooner considering how fast as technology is evolving lately. The technology known as a MEMS-based Advanced Memory Device, is built around the concept that is currently having it's first working samples produced within the next year. The initial prototypes are set to have about the same space as current NAND flash chips in the tens of gigabytes per circuit, the plan allows for them to rapidly scale up to 100s of gigabytes and finally to the coveted 1TB on a single chip. What's even better tho...

The GTAIV Limited Edition Elite 360, Not for Public WTF?!
2008-03-22 04:31:00
Ok this kind of rocks and kind of sucks, first of all Microsoft is getting ready to release probably the most awesome 360's ever. The GTAIV Limited Edition Elite Xbox360, it's some definite heavy weight equipment. I mean we're talking the best Xbox360 but instead of the flat black paint, theirs professional automotive paint with the entire thing done in black with some pretty wicked GTAIV artwork on the sides. On top of that the console is set to come in a full-on case with a bunch of peripherals and most likely a shiny limited edition copy of GTAIV itself. But as I said it's good and bad news, the good is how amazing these thing looks and it makes me wish they would sell customized 360's like they sell customized Zunes, I'd definitly order a laser etched 360 with Automotive black paint, it's just uber sexy. But the bad news is that only 500 of these super-limited-edition consoles are being made. What's even worse is the fact that of the 500, all 500 are already earmarked ...

Sorry for the gap in updates... theirs a reason
2008-03-22 04:24:00
I'm sorry I haven't been updating lately, as things around here have been a little hectic. I've been juggling my personal life with very little time to get online. But i've got some cool ideas in store for the site and some other online projects that I'll probably offer here first. I'm writing an eBook that will be on sale soon on getting out of your day job and how I'm doing it. It'll definitly be a good read with someone for people that are already working online and those that haven't started yet. It will cover everything from day 1 all the way to setting up strong website investor relations and the steps from getting from making 0 dollars to anywhere from 500-3000$ a month. So it'll be interesting, I might raffle off a few copies for free to some of the NTN viewers, but check back in a few weeks for updates on that.

Angry woman sets hundreds of phones on fire, holy crap!

Ok theirs some crazy things going on in the world today, it makes you start wondering about the next time your going to slip up and tell your wife she needs to switch weight loss tactics, or the next time the idea of cheating passes through your mind. Women don't take bad things well, and from the story crawling the intertubes today some women can take things REALLY REALLY badly! A Chinese woman named Mrs. Wang wasn't cheated on or told she was fat but what did happen to her was quite upsetting as her husband walked out on their marriage. A sad story yes but that's not the reason it's hitting the news articles. You see the furiously enraged divorcee went to their jointly owned cell phone shop, took over 400 of their 400 cell phones they had in stock and set the entire lot ablaze inside their home. The entire collection that was burned to nothing more than ashes was estimated to be worth around $42,000US. The story hit the web and news after a neighbor saw the smoke and cal...

Flash drive + a Mouse... is this so strange it makes sense?

Well every day some new interesting gadget changes come around that just are jaw dropping. Then their are breakthrough devices that companies come up with that are just stupid concepts. Well Asus may have somehow found a way to give laptop users something they might not have even realized they originally wanted. Asus' MS71 brings about 2 items that every laptop user eventually wants, hell I have 1 and want the other. A flash drive and a Portable Mouse! The idea sounds silly, mixing a flash drive with a mouse but its an idea that has some merit for portable workers. On the down side it is a rectangular mouse and quite small, on the good side... it's quite small and extremely portable. it works quite simply the bottom of the flash drive snaps off to plug into the USB port. From their it enables full wireless function as a wireless mouse via the part you snapped off, and on top of that an undisclosed amount of files on the appendage that you plugged in.

You recall my earlier post about the horrible mishap between gamer Nathaniel and Microsoft that saw his one of a kind autographed console being restored back to a plain white console. Well in response Bungie said they were going to hook Nathaniel up big time.

Better rates for my monthly fiasco's
2008-03-07 05:29:00
I've talked a few times in the past about payday loans that I've researched into especially after I moved to my new job which tends to pay me a little later than my old job. The issue is that without a payday loan I'm stuck waiting for the cash from my job while it only arrives a day or so in advance of when all of my bills are due and a few are sometimes late by the time the wire from my office comes. Where I live it's cheaper to take out a payday loan than to be late on a few bills, especially when they start disconnecting you and charging reconnection fees. So my choices lately are pretty straight forward, either beg my boss to send the wire transfer earlier or just say screw it and setup a payday loan each month so that I can pay my bills on time and get everything done when it's supposed to be done. I'm not much of a beggar and lately the prices on interest for payday loans has been going down so I'm starting to lean more and more towards just getting one from now on ...

Bungie ready to makeup for a big Microsoft booboo
2008-03-05 04:07:00
As you can see the one of a kind Xbox 360 found to the left was very unique and quite awesome. But when the poor thing suffered from a RROD and had to go back to Microsoft even after calling in advance to make sure that they didn't disrupt the artwork on the case. When it returned to the owner they had washed the cover only with a few marks of marker remaining. To say the least Nathaniel was depressed but it looks like Bungie has something major in store for him. Something apparently is afoot within Bungie according to Bungie's community director Brian Jarrard, and while he has said that the community as a whole is rallying to help fix the horrible problem they haven't quite said exactly what the solution will be. They admit that they won't be able to perform an exact replacement but they are trying to get very close to the goodness that was the original. So I'd beg to bet that it won't go as far as say... a Wilmington real estate property but it should at least be a definitl...

Hillary fires some new ads, but Obama fires back and it hits!
2008-03-01 21:40:00
With Texas and Ohio being the big fight for the democratic nomination and it approaching very quickly on Tuesday, March 4th it looks like Hilary might be getting a little more desperate than every fireing some very bold ads but the problem is she doesn't seem to realize the reason people are flocking to Obama is because hes not about the negative ads, hes about saying the truth and the what he invisions. Shes turned to negative bashing ads which just make her look desperate for a win. The problem is it's not working, with Obama erroding her leads in both Texas and Ohio by massive points, and in some polls even showing him with a definite lead starting to develop, it makes me think that Clinton's determination to stick to her "i'm ready from day 1" is just a complete miss. The fact she keep saying in her ads that she will be ready from day 1 is an interesting point, the problem is that if she keeps saying only that it won't work. Why? Simple because people don't bel...

Macbook Pro owners are gonna love the faster & cooler Penryn's

More speed is always a good thing but in this day and age speed is only one part of the requirements that we deem needed for a CPU to really rock our world. Well it looks like the new Macbook Pro's with their slightly faster Penryn based processors from Intel do just that and a little more. As normal Apple ships the new Macbook Pro 's with all the goodies you could ever want in a sexy white box, except of course for some pretty apple logo pens. But hey you can't have the world ;) These new processors won't exactly run circles around their predecessors though they are faster, where the new Macbooks shine is their new cooler demeanor at Peak load and at average running a full 20 degrees cooler than their predecessors, but at the same time only requiring the fan to spin half as fast therefor half as loud. In XBench everything from CPU to memory is a tad faster than the previous generation. The cooler less power hungry CPU's and the fact that the new Macbook Pro's will be ship...

You know the main issue I have besides the price with the Macbook Air is something missing. It's like a super hot girl that want's kids but is missing some important hormone like estrogen or progesterone or something that's required for things to work out. That's how I feel when I think about the Macbook Air, it's that hot girl, but she's missing something inside that you might not notice until you really need it. Sure just like hormones theirs way to inject the missing features via USB, but give me a break we're going for mobility. The biggest slap in the face is that the patent to the left was filed for a ultra slim Ethernet port that can unfold and allow for a full Ethernet connection as well as FireWire and 2 USB ports. So why wasn't it put into place it just doesn't make sense to me if they had the concept why just drop out Ethernet something that many people especially business professionals, the ones that can afford the Macbook Air 's premium price require things ...

But as I said previously none of them actually work, I mean the most ingenious one was the one that ran away but then we just grabbed it before it got away and turned it off. Now we've got something cooking and surprisingly its coming out of the Do It Yourself crowd that might actually make the whole snooze/off switch fiasco irrelevant. Why? Simple, this one actually makes you wake up and use your brain. The clock poses the user a math question, with a true or false if you answer it wrong it gets louder and if you answer it right it'll switch off or snooze. The fact that it makes you actually think means that theirs a chance you won't miss that royal caribbean cruise you paid thousands for.

You know it's quite amazing when I see what kinds of cash online casinos are giving away like the Joyland online casinos that is giving away 25$ to every new member. But as far as bonuses go in the world of virtual casinos  I really must admit that Joyland has one of the more impressive of bonus plans, with bonuses as high as 850 $/€/£. I'm quite impressed with the quality of the site as it was quicker than some of the other casino sites that I've had experience with in the past. When your playing casino games with real money the fact that the games respond when you tell them to do something instantly is quite important. The website itself is a general casino style layout, you've probably seen them before, but Joyland's games themselves get the job done quite nicely and as I said when I played their wasn't a hit of that nasty Web 2.0 lag we sometime see.

Synthetic self healing rubber on its way to market "very soon&

Now while the guy who invented the tankless water heaters was surely a genius he took a problem running out of hot water and made a simple solution to the issue. What the guys at France's national center for Scientific Research have done might not be deemed "simple" it is in the terms of how its created and the science behind it. But the problem it solves and what it's capable of is just astonishing. The researchers teamed up with Arkema to create a brand new material that can literally heal itself back together after its broken or cut apart. The self mending takes place due to what are basically weak bonds in the molecules of hydrogen that allow for the material to form ditopic ad tritopic molecules when pressed together. They say that the material acts like a sort of atomic glue, able to stretch right after it "mends it self back together" but not only can it stretch but it's like new and can stretch just as far as before the break happened..

Dallas police were surprised to learn that the intensive searches and screening of persons that were to attend a rally where Barack obama was going to speak yesterday in Dallas, were stopped after the first hour, and at first they thought it was a lapse in security. Then came the surprising news that it was not a lapse in security but the orders apparently came from the U.S. Secret Service in an attempt to "speed up the long lines outside and fill the arena's vacant seats before Obama came on."

Unlike some other games where the person that drops in doesn't exactly get the welcome treatment and can't do everything player 1 can do, the drop in player in Fable 2 can do everything from sexing up wenches to planting a tree.

Ready for an Uber sexy 128GB SSD with 100+MB/sec read/write speed
2008-02-19 05:33:00
Now as far as hardware franchises go I'm not very familiar with MTron but it appears that these guys are ready to push some awesome new hardware. Primarily the largest 1.8 inch drives to date, the same drives that are currently powering many MP3 players and even Apple's new Macbook air. The new drive clocks in at an astonishing 128GB which is great all and of itself, but what is even more impressing is the read write speed of the new drive, rocking a 120MB/second read speed and a 100MB/second write speed. Production of the new units isn't set to roll out until April but as with all SSD's of this size this early in their lifecycle you can almost guarantee that we won't be affording them anytime soon. But on the bright side, bigger very expensive drives as they grow in turn push the prices of the smaller drives to a lower price (such as the 8/16/32gb drives). Source: MTron

Contact-less hybrid bus goes into service in Tokyo airport.
2008-02-19 05:15:00
Japan might be set to have the fastest maglev train in a few years, but something else is becoming a reality right now. The new break through the country can brag over is the fact that they are deploying the first contact-less hybrid bus system. This is basically a smaller iteration of the maglev technology. It will be deployed in Tokyo 's Haneda Airport and will replace the older bus system with the new futuristic bus. Now if a frictionless, floating contact-less bus wasn't enough it gets even better. It's also going to be a hybrid bus that promises to reduce carbon emissions from the bus system by 60 percent, to the older 20th century bus's. I wonder if the hybridness counteracts the cutting edgeness of the floating bus concept when it comes time for them to get an auto insurance quote .

iPhone and iPod touch both to get 100$ price drop! Now that's cool

Now here's the interesting thing, I hate the iPhone because of the way Apple has gimped it and locked it down.

So I hate iPhone's, but I love me a cracked unlocked iPhone :) And it looks like the community at large might be in for a surprise fairly soon as the rumor is that the falling prices of flash media, will see the iPhone and iPod both receiving a $100 price drop, putting the 16gb iPhone at 399$ and the 8gb iPhone at 299$ which would make it an instant buy for me, I mean hell even a computer rental is more expensive than that :) The fact is I'd hate to spend over 300$ on a phone, no matter how much potential it has after being cracked.

The entire concept to me seems like someone took too much colon cleanser and is crapping out stupid ideas I mean it's a bit unfair and a definite opening for a antitrust suit not to mention I doubt it would be approved by the FTC. The odd analyst prediction came from Doug Friedman of the American Technology Research group who said that "Intel/AMD roadmap of integration of the CPU/GPU would pose a risk to NVIDIA" and that by buying AMD it would propel NVIDIA into a formidable competitor for Intel...
