Free Playstation 3 or Money

2010-01-26T07:27:00.001-05:00

I’m always looking for some sort of good deal, so when I heard that i could get a free PS3 or Money (up to $425 in a check) for FREE, i was doubtful and didn’t really trust the idea. The first word that came to my mind was SCAM. Click Here for PROOF that this does work ( As you can see Transcendent Innovations is the name of the company paying, that companies name also shows up on the BOTTOM of the YourPS34FREE page.

However after reading ALOT (i always investigate and read the fine print before anything) I decided to give it a try. Here’s how it should work:

1. – You sign up at the following site YourPS34FREE.

2. – You put all you’re LEGIT info in there.Or else how are they going to ship you the Playstation 3 or the money if you put false information?

3.- Once you have signed in you get and option to choice which type of account you want, a POINTS or a REFFERAL. REFFERAL is the fastest so I choose that one. Regardless you can change the type of account later on without any problems.

4.- Then you have the option to complete an offer. The LEVEL A offers are the fastest, but also require you to have a credit card. These offers are really just short Trials of different services, like movies from Netflix, or MP3s from Emusic. Etc.

The following are the most popular ones:

BLOCKBUSTER – You have to sign up for 1 month of movies (9.99). Queue a movie, (in order words request that one be sent to you, watch it if you want and then drop it off at a mailbox before your trial is over to avoid being charged extra).Then remain a member for 21 days. After that you can cancel if you dont like the service. YourPS34FREE account will be credited almost instantly.

GAMEFLY – You have to sign up for a trial ($8.95 or $12.95 whichever you like the most) and queue a game (in order words request that one be sent to you. If you want you can play it and then drop it off at the mail before you’re trial is over to avoid being charged extra) and remain a member for 14 days. After that you cancel if you dont like the service. YourPS34FREE account will be credited almost instantly.

EMUSIC – sing up for a membership, ($11.99 includes 24 MP3s and an additional 50 extra, that you will keep at the end of this). Cancel before the 1st month is over if you dont like the service. YourPS34FREE account will be credited almost instantly.

NETFLIX – sing up for a free trail and queue or request that a movie be sent to you. Then become a member after 14 days become a paying member (8.99). Cancel before you get charged $8.99 again if you dont like the service. YourPS34FREE account will be credited almost instantly.

After that you just have to get 8 extra people to also join (or 10 depending on how much money you’re looking for), and you will receive you’re prize. I will be following up with more information and evidence that shows that this is true and real. Any questions please feel free to leave them in the comments.

Wii Drops Price, and Special Wii Sports Resort Bundle

2009-09-25T14:10:00.001-04:00

After breaking all previous records in videogame console sales, Nintendo has finally decided to drop the price of the Wii. It will not retail at $199.99.

They have also updated their Wii Sports Resort Bundle. It now comes with 2 MOTION PLUS accessories for $59.99. A savings of $10 if bought separately. With these changes, Nintendo is looking to further compete with Microsoft and Sony, both of who have also lowered the prices of their consoles.

Nintendo has also gotten ready a sequel to last years best selling game, Wii Fit for launch this year. It will be called, Wii Fit Plus. I expect Nintendo to have an excellent holiday season.

Zune HD Selling Well

2009-09-22T11:04:00.001-04:00

About a week ago Microsoft launched their new Zune product called the Zune HD. People have been interested in the Zune HD ever since it received very favorable reviews from many sites. The sites really liked the way the Zune presented stuff, the UI (User Interface) is really slick and smooth.

When compared to the Ipod Touch, the Zune HD manages to hold its own. With all these things in its favor, many were wondering if the Zune HD would sell well. Well the waiting is over…the ZUNE HD is selling out in most stores online.

Best Buy has reported backorders, Newegg is sold out, and so are other electronic retailers. Is this the weapon that Microsoft has been waiting on in order to knock off Apple from the top of the MP3 Player list?

Star Wars Clone Wars Season 2 Trailer

2009-07-28T10:03:00.001-04:00

Awesome! That is my take on this latest trailer. It seems like Season 2 of the CG cartoon is a HUGE improvement over season 1. Watch the trailer and see for yourself. I especially liked the last part “My ancestors have fought jedis…”, if I’m not mistaken those are Mandelorians… the warriors Boba Fett tries to copy :-)

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Review (WARNING SPOILERS)

2009-06-28T22:25:00.001-04:00

Best Thing: Optimus Prime

Worst Thing: It’s hard to say the WORST thing when there are many things fighting for that honor but in short, Mudflap and Skids.

Score: 2.2/10

Transformers 2 looked pretty good in trailers. There was going to be more robots meaning more action, so in short perfect for a good summer blockbuster. However… some thing went wrong in the process. First let’s highlight the good.

Optimus finally shows why he is a Prime. Finally he takes out not 1, BUT 2 swords to fight. That was something that they definitely got right in the movie, because it was a major complain in part 1. Showing why Optimus is the leader of the Autobots was essential to the movie, because in part 1, he was getting thrown around by Megatron here and there, so it’s only fair that in part 2, Optimus gets his revenge. Bumblebee also has a pretty good scene, and well….thats about it. That all the good in the movie. Unless of course the Linkin Park song at the end counts.

Now on to the complaints. First of all, Mudflap and Skids are 2 autobots that should have never existed. PERIOD. They are useless in the movie, clumsy and always fighting with each other. Michael Bay said that he put them in there for the kids. Really Mr. Bay? For the kids? So you want kids to copy the curses these 2 stooge transformers say every other second? Pathetic. Also, one of them has a golden tooth. A GOLDEN TOOTH. For crying out loud, what were they thinking??!?!

Second, the running time, the movie was way to long. it runs 150 mins. The movie’s plot would have fit easily in 90 mins. This is almost double the time. I was constantly moving around my seat anxiously thinking, just when is this film going to end. Kinda like the same way I felt during Pirates 3 (World’s End).

Another failure, Sam’s (Shia LaBeouf) parents. I understand they were there for laughs but come on, how much screen time do they have to take. They beat both Optimus and Bumble Bee in screen time!

Final failure I’m going to point out, well… the fact that Sam is immune again in this movie from getting hurt or dying in this movie in circumstances that ANYONE else, would have at least, have gotten some body damage. I mean look, in the beginning when the tiny transformers are in his parents house, they are shooting bullets and small missiles RIGHT IN FRONT of him, yet this guy doesn’t even get scratched. Then in that scene where he is pinned down by a Decepticon, he gets flung around like a toy yet he gets up and running again almost instantly. I dont get it, this guy must be a transformer in disguise because it makes no sense. Maybe he is , just like that other girl turned out to be, (what was up with that, wouldn’t the Decepticons want to pose as humans instead of vehicules to capture Sam? Maybe pose as his parents? but no…cars are cooler) and Bay is waiting for Transformers 6 when everyone gets bored with the robots and then unleashes the GUESS WHAT SAM IS A TRANSFORMER plot twist on us.

To sum it up, yeah it had explosions and actions, but even those were getting boring. How are they supposed to TOP the action scenes in Transformers 3, when this one has all the DECEPTICONS (i would guess all of them since Megatron says “Decepticons Attack!” and a bunch fall from the sky. Unless there were some who were cowards) attacking at once. Popcorn film to the fullest extend.

Brazil vs Egypt Fifa Confederations Cup South Africa

2009-06-17T08:42:00.001-04:00

We all know the World Cup is 358 days away, but some matches have started to see who qualifies and such. Now this video that I saw, says its from a Cup played in South Africa, so it doesn’t count as qualifiers is my conclusion. However, if this Egyptian team is the same one going to the World Cup… then things will be interesting to say the least. Check it out. Props to KaKa!

Up Review (Spoiler Free)

2009-06-01T09:09:00.001-04:00

Best Thing: It’s very complicated to select just one thing that stands out from this masterpiece of a movie, but if I had to pick one, it would be the the storytelling.

Worst Thing: Again picking out a flaw is hard here when everything is so perfect…but if I’m obligated to then I would say Dug (the talking dog) is the weakest element here.

Score: A Very well deserved 9.7/10

(I don't want to spoil anything in this masterpiece so I will refrain from giving away plot points)

Pixar’s latest masterpiece centers around the story of an old man who lifts his house with balloons and makes it to a jungle of sorts in South America. That’s the information that you get from the trailer, that and the fact that a fat little kid goes with him. That’s it, sounds uninteresting right? I mean to be honest, i was not expecting this movie to be AMAZING, but my faith in Pixar and their art of telling stories made me go watch the film. And let me tell ya, WHAT a film to watch.

From the start the movie is visually perfect. The Colors that Pixar use are amazing, and now that its combined with digital 3-d, the colors jump out even more, as to make the textures more realistic. But this movie could have been drawn, and still, the impact would have been the same. The storytelling is what wins this movie. You know Pixar gets it right, when they create an emotion link between you, and the characters in under 10 mins. I guarantee that only the coldest of people will not cry at least ONCE, throughout this film. Of course UP is also very funny. As the trailer has pointed out, most of it comes from Russell, the little boy who accompanies Mr. Fredricksen in this journey. However personally I found that Dug, the talking dog that befriends this odd couple, to be a bit annoying, and if there was one flaw then I would have to point at him. But thankfully he’s more of a third wheel in this movie so he is not featured much, to my relief (and possibly yours).

The music in this movie also touches the heart. It’s amazing how simple piano keys can bring so much emotion with their sound. The beginning intro that has this gentle music, will make you stop for a moment and just be captivated by what’s on screen. Then when the music comes again later in the film, you’ll be forced to relate to the character on screen in a way that is very rare in movies, let alone an animated film.

UP is a journey of life. The moral of story is that life IS the greatest adventure. It will make you reflect on the small things that make up life, those moments that we take for granted sometimes, those moments that we feel are just strings attaching to main beads in our lives, when in reality THEY are the main beads in life. When everything passes, we remember the small details the most. All this from a movie targeted towards children. Amazing. Well I dont want to give more details, because frankly I think it will spoil such a film. Watch it, without distractions, disconnect for a moment, and just let Pixar lift you…UP.

P.S.- bring tissues!

Finally!!! Toy Story 3 Teaser!!

2009-05-29T14:47:00.001-04:00

Straight and to the point, this is the Toy Story 3 Teaser!!! It seems Pixar wanted to release it right along UP. Watching the trailer really brought back memories. Toy Story came out in 1995. Has it really been that long? Wow….time does go by so fast. But hey, at least we’re getting part 3!!! I”m there opening day! Who’s with me?

Terminator Salvation Review (Warning Spoilers)

2009-05-23T16:36:00.001-04:00

Best Thing: Its Terminator! That and Sam Worthington as Marcus Wrigth, his Performance was solid!

Worst Thing: Not enough humanization on the characters, that and the plot. Not the best, but not the worst.

Score: 6.8/10

Terminator Salvation as you all know, is the 4th film in the Terminator franchise. This franchise had much success with the first 2 movies, especially the second, which in my opinion is the best one. Then came the third and well….it wasn’t what everyone expected, but it also wasn’t tooo bad…right? lol. And now we have this forth film which in many ways is a “salvation” of the terminator franchise.

It manages to do many things right. The whole atmosphere of the film is dead on. Very raw in your face camera style, which really makes you feel like you’re there. The special effects are dead on, as is the sound effects. The robots look realistic, as in, its not to far fetched that these robots can actually be built today. Even Arnold’s cameo appearance looks pretty good, he looks like he did in part 1.

Now on to the bad…for a movie talking so much about the difference between robots and humans, it doesn’t humanize the humans enough. Sounds weird right? But it’s true! ( i sound like my sister now lol) Christian Bale playing as the much hyped John Connor, never once, asks his wife (played by spiderman-3’s Bryce Howard) about the baby she is carrying! I mean i know its war, but come on man, you can at least show her a bit more love! Also another compliant, what on earth is Batman doing in Terminator? I’m not referring to the fact that Bale played Batman and now he’s playing Connor, no, i mean why does he have to do the Batman voice?? Seriously i was like what?? The director actually let that go by? I know the voice is cool and all, heck I even do it sometimes (where are they?!?!?) but come on…

The plot also suffers a bit, i mean after thinking about it, the whole movie is just about Connor saving his father (who is a teen) to send him back to the past. All the stuff in between is just added there to get to that point. It serves no other purpose, i mean they even blow up a base, which they say is skynet, but then at the end, you get another John Connor voice over, “we blew up their base…but its not over…they still have a network of robots….the war continues…”. Another minor complaint is that some parts of the movie may not be too clear to some viewers. Like the whole story behind Marcus Wrigth, the whole point of his existence and what happens to him is explained really quickly by some screen on a computer. If you’re not quick to read them, then I guess you’re lost. Also I dont think enough is clarified on the importance of John Connor as the faith of humanity.

Overall, Terminator Salvation is a good summer flick and it really did bring back the Terminator franchise. Now here’s hoping that the next one, is the Dark Knight of the Terminator franchise!! till next time…..

District-9

2009-05-07T08:17:00.001-04:00

One of the highlights of watching Wolverine, were the teaser trailers. Not only did we get Terminator: Salvation, but also Transformers 2, which looks like its going to be pretty good (better than the 1st one hopefully). But there was one other trailer that caught my eye, and that was District-9. It was if you recall, having to do with aliens. Now in the trailer the aliens face was blurred and what they said, had no subtitles. Yet it still looked interesting. Well if you’re curious i have here the trailer with no blurring and subtitles to get a better feel for the movie.

Personally i’m interested. What are you’re thoughts about it? And… am i the only one that thinks the ship got ripped right out of Independence Day??

X-Men Origins: Wolverine REVIEW

2009-05-05T10:08:00.001-04:00

Best Thing: Wolverine, come on…best x-men hands down

Worst Thing: SO much wasted potential…that and wraith…

Score: Got out of the theater and said 3.5/10 (probably cause the wolverine fanboy inside of me pushed me to this verdict) but after thinking about it. 1.7/10

Almost a year and half ago when this movie first was being announced, everyone was supped about it. I mean, come on, whats not to love? We were gonna have a movie about Wolverine!! I mean, even though the other 3 movies where basically Wolverine’s movies, this was going to be just him. The main character, front and center. No more crappy Cyclops or stooge-like Storm. Just WOLVERINE. Cool.

YET…thats not what happened. What FOX decided to do, was to make WOLVERINE’s origin. Problem is, that we basically knew his origins cause the other 3 XMEN movies were debating that. You have him having all these headaches about his past and walking around..etc. So instead of moving forward with the franchise and Wolverine, they moved back. Why? Well now after seeing the ending to Origins, basically because they want to make X Men: Fist class part 1,2 and 3. So they sacrificed Wolverine in the process, believing that he will heal and walk again to box office glory like he always does.

So after that small rant, whats wrong with the movie besides the mentioned points? There’s no point. This movie really has no point but to just give wolverine adamantine claws and skeleton. Thats it plain and simple. All the action, all the “story” could have easily been skipped and we could have just gotten to the point of Wolverine getting his claws and forgetting everything.

Another flaw, no sense of fear or worry. As the audience we have to root for the good guy, and feel fear, that he might get hurt or die. NONE WHAT SO EVER. WHY? cause they make wolverine out to be like superman in this movie. I mean this guy can’t die at all. He doesn’t age. He’s immortal. So put 2 immortals in a fight together, without any danger to anyone around them, in other words just 1 on 1, and you have very boring pointless action (even though good special effects).

One pointless scene that really bothered me was the fight between Wraith (will.i.am) and Sabertooth. Its the most pointless fight in the movie. Why? Well u would figure that Wraith would figure out, “Gee… wolverine is like indestructible has been fighting wars for years, killed his father, has huge claws..man this guy is bad to the bone…YET he can’t kill Sabertooth, even though he stabs him countless times with his claws!” Yet Wraith somehow gets to the conclusion that if he punches Sabertooth enough times, he’ll kill him. take a moment to process that ……………………………………………

Yep… POINTLESS. If Wraith wasn’t a class A stooge, as soon as he would have seen Sabertooth, he would have BOUNCED himself out of there, to Hawaii or something!! Not inches away from Sabertooth. And worst of all unarmed. PATHETIC!!

I could go on ripping this movie for more of its flaws, like Agent Zero (the Chinese Mutant with the guns), this guy opens up the movie with a crazy action scene taking out all the guards, YET….when he is chasing Wolverine on the Helicopter, he doesn’t once think “Hmm…i have some beasty aiming, why dont i just shoot Wolverine’s motorcycle gas tank when he’s out in the open, so the thing blows up and Wolverine has to walk, he’ll be slower = easier target for me and my crew”. Stuff like that gets me mad, and dont get me started on how they mixed Weapon XI with Deadpool, please none of that.

Take it easy ppl and here’s hoping they dont make X Men Origins: Storm.

Finding good movies

2009-04-16T11:16:00.001-04:00

Watching a good flick is hard these days, because lets face it, Hollywood comes out with so much filler movies, and sequels that seem catered to same mindless audience of teens that actually buy tickets to see these horrible movies. I dont have to go too far to mention the recent fast and the furious flick, its the number 1 movie this week, but the reviews are all rock bottom negative.

Sometimes they even take a semi good movie, like Transporter, and then make it into a franchise that is NOTHING like the first flick. Transporter 3 was one of the worst movies I have ever seen, I knew i wasn’t going to be oscar worthy, but at least maybe as half good as the first flick. But, i was horribly mistaken.

With busy schedules, its hard to sit down and actually watch something good, so instead of taking that risk i introduce JINNI. Jinni is a website that recommends movies that you like, based on your movie taste. I know there’s many sites out there that say the same thing, but I tested JINNI and it was spot on, actually recommending movies that I hold as some of my favorite.

You can browse movies based on what mood your in, maybe you want a funny romantic movie. Bingo- Jinni will tell ya. Or maybe you want a sincere, realistic, serious,fast paced, and little known movie…with Jinni you got it.

The demo video on their front page demonstrated with clarity what i mean, so what are you waiting for…. go to jinni now.

Back in Action

2009-04-14T15:01:00.001-04:00

Well i’m back now, not that anyone cares or even reads this blog, but hey… I continue writting lol.

It’s official that now they are making a VENOM movie. Yep you heard, right… a movie about Venom, spiderman’s arch nemesis is in the works. The movie should be coming out after Spiderman 4, so lets just hope Spidey4 is better than part 3. Because Spidey 3 = fail in my book. Huge disappointment.

In the coming week i’ll be mentioning a site, that recommends movies based on your taste, and let me tell ya, as movie nut, it works. It actually recommended movies that i really really like and that i hold as some of my favorites. So i’ll be discussing that, along with any deals and such things that i find.

Before ending this post, here’s some pics i found hilarious! Its the worst homemade Star Wars costumes.. oh man.. especially the last one made me laugh!

Is it true or just an April Fool’s prank?

2009-04-01T07:19:00.001-04:00

Supposedly a new worm virus that takes control of you computer was released a while ago, and today (april 1st) a mega computer will take control of all the pcs infected with such worm. For what? Well it could be, to steal the bandwidth of all these infected computers, or maybe to manipulate them into flooding a specific website. Imagine thousands of pcs going to the same site at exactly the same time…that will result in the site shutting down.

Easy way to convert PNG to ICO – to make icons

2009-03-26T09:18:00.001-04:00

I recently posted a link to many icons, but it turns out that some of these icons where in .png format, which is used by docks. Unfortunately this format doesn’t allow you to change your desktop icons, since they have to be .ico files.

Here’s the solution, download which ever icons you liked, and simply convert them here for free. Convert ICO, allows you simply upload the PNG file and convert it to ICO so that you can apply it as a desktop icon. Nice and simple, so what are you waiting for, change those boring desktop icons.

Today marks the date that Nintendo made history, making the Wii the fastest selling console ever. 50 million strong. Sony’s Playstation 2 had sold 50 million in 3 years, while it took less than half that!!

Wii came out in December 2006, and sold out immediately. The wave hasn’t stopped and things just keep getting better for Nintendo, with the DSi now having more pre-orders here in the US, than any other console before. It seems that even though the economy is hit, videogames have managed to survive. Especially Nintendo, targeting a different audience, and making games that can be fun in big groups. I just can’t wait for what the Wii2 has planned!!

Best Star Wars Figure

2009-03-20T10:45:00.001-04:00

It kind of surprising that I haven’t mentioned anything about Star Wars as of yet on this blog, given that to me personally, and to countless others, Star Wars is the best movie saga that exists.

Well instead of convincing you of what is known already as certified truth (that Star Wars is unrivaled), let me just present to you something interesting.

Star Wars action figures are very popular, even though so much time has passed by since the first movie, they keep selling and selling. Some are even kept as collectibles and fetch high prices!!

So without a doubt, the best Star Wars Figure….

Rumor True… Megatron Back in Transformers 2

2009-02-26T08:06:00.001-05:00

There have been many rumors about Megatron, is he dead, will he be resurrected by Starscream, is he back as tank, etc. But it is confirmed that it is in fact true. Megatron is back and ready to OWN once again. Roberto Orci a cowriter of the film, admitted that the rumor is true.

Here’s hoping Optimus uses his sword when he most needs it in this movie…unlike the first movie.

Samuel L Jackson as NICK FURY in at least 9 movies!!

2009-02-25T21:46:00.001-05:00

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you’ve heard correctly, Mr. Jackson will reprise his role as Nick Fury in at least 9 more movies, or so says the contract. Which ones?? Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, The Avengers, and who knows what else my come out. Maybe a S.H.E.I.L.D movie or two.

I personally thought Marvel was going to go for the old school Nick Fury shown above

But apparently they went for the Ultimate Nick Fury shown below.

Quite frankly this version of Nick Fury is SAMUEL L JACKSON so at least they got him to do the part. Here’s hoping these movies are at least as good as Iron Man.

Download ANY video from Youtube as a MP3

2009-02-13T18:00:00.002-05:00

Well last post i explained how to download a video from YouTube as a file so that you can watch it on your pc, or put in on your ipod or a dvd. Now what we're going to focus on is how to save videos as MP3s.

Its very simple, you copy the link of the video you're on and then head on over to Listen To Youtube and just paste the link there. That site should convert it to an MP3 and save it on your pc.

Of course if you want to skip using the site...then here's the GreaseMonkey code that you can download. Enjoy!!

How To Add Download Links, Auto HD Video, and Black Background to YOUTUBE

2009-02-12T07:37:00.014-05:00

Everyone uses youtube, whether its to see the latest basketball play everyone is talking about, movie trailer, funny/stupid clip that people film, or even the latest episode of your favorite tv show. With this tutorial you'll make youtube that much better. Well discuss:

1- How to add Download Links for videos- to save in .flv, .3gp, or .mp4 (for ipods)

2- How to make Youtube play the HD version of the video automatically.

3- How to make Youtube's background black to make it easier on the eyes.

(click to enlarge)

If you like these changes, then lets get started. Estimated Time: 5 minutes

1- First, download and install Firefox(FF) web browser. Click Here

2-Once thats done with download GreaseMonkey which is an extension for FF. Click Here

Greasemonkey allows you to run scripts that make websites act differently. When its installed you should see a monkey on the right hand corner of FF. So once its install now you need to download the script.

3- This script will give you the download options and also higher resolution video. It does have one annoying feature (at least in my opinion), which is looping of videos, but don't worry we can change that easily. Here's the script. Click install on the right.

4- Once installed go to any youtube video and you should see the changes I mentioned. If you're satisfied and don't want the black background you can stop here and jump to step 9 if you want to fix the looping of videos. If not then, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy your new youtube.

5- To get the black background, we have to install another addon called Stylish for FF. Click here

6- Once installed you should see the following on your right hand corner in FF. (click to enlarge)

7- Now go to www.youtube.com

8- Now click on stylish and a menu should pop up. Select "Find Styles for this Page"

This should open up another tab, where you will find many different styles for Youtube. The one that i'm using to make mine black is called aByte: another Black YouTube Embodiment. Find it on the list or simply click here . Scroll to the bottom and click Load Into Stylish. And thats it!!

So now you have YouTube ready to watch and download as you please. THANKS FOR READING!!

Now.. if you do not like the fact that the video loops at the end because of the Greasemonkey video, like I didn't, here is the quick fix.

9- Right-Click on Greasemonkey and Manage User Script. A window should pop up. On the left hand panel, select Youtube HQ +720p Ultimate.... Now on the bottome left hand corner click on Edit. It should ask you to pick what program to edit the script with. Find and select notepad.

It should be in your Windows directory. (ex. C:\windows\notepad.exe) Click ok and it should open up.

10- You should get the following window. The line that we need to fix is is titled "loop" (look at the picture for reference) (click to enlarge)

11- Save it and you're done. No more looping at the end of the video!

If you have any questions or some part of this tutorial is not clear, please leave a comment, and I'll answer it. Thanks for reading!!

imagesize:1024x768 dark knight To find wallpapers of DARK KNIGHT that fits 1024x768

Rename all Your Photos FAST and for FREE

2009-01-30T07:47:00.011-05:00

Everyone has a digital camera now a days, and that means a mess when it comes to exporting the photos to your computer. Usually you get a folder full of photos that have the same name for example Sony models usually come out looking like this

DSC02745

DSC02746

DSC02748

DSC02749

etc.....

So this starts turning into a problem especially if you want to be able to find photos quickly based on filename alone. Or if you want to better organize your photos here's the easy way how.

First of all download this program called ReNamer. Here's the link.

Once you you install it, open it, and follow these steps.

1- We need to make a rule, or in other ways how the program is going to rename the files. In this example we're going to rename all the files to "Florida Trip" followed by a number sequence. (Florida Trip 0001, Florida Trip 0002, so on...) You of course can change "Florida Trip" to whatever it is you need. CLICK where it says "Click Here To Add A Rule" the following menu should appear

2-Now Click on DELETE- since first we will want to Delete the the file name all the way to the extension (.jpg) so that we can make room for our new file name. Once you click Delete you should get several options. Under "From" it should stay as position: 1 , but just change "Until" and click on till end. Here's a pic to use as reference. After it loks like the pic click on ADD RULE.

3- Ok 1 rule down, 2 more to go. Now we'll add the new file name, in this case "Florida Trip"

Click on the plus sign to ADD a new rule. It menu as the 1st pic should open again, its in "INSERT" just where we need it. Where it says "What:", is where you would add the new file name. So I'll be putting "Florida Trip" in that space, MAKE SURE TO ADD AN EXTRA SPACE AFTER TRIP, OR AFTER WHATEVER FILE NAME YOU WILL BE PUTTING (so in reality it should be "Florida Trip " with the extra space after the "p"). Now a little further down it says "Where" click on prefix. Here's a picture reference. Click Add Rule when done.

4. -Now for the last time click on the plus Sign to "Add a new rule". This time click on "Serialize". Where it says "Where:" click on "suffix". And then on the bottom checkmark "Pad to length" and put a 4 next to it. Here's another picture reference. Click ADD RULE.

5- Now we're done with our rules. Now to select the files or folder you want to rename. Click on either "Add Files" or "Add Folders" right under File. Find the files that you want and they will load on the bottom half of the window. Now click on PREVIEW so that you can see how they will be renamed. Here's what mine would look like.

If your happy with the results click on "RENAME" and you're done!

6 - Last but not least click on "Preset" on top. And then "Save As" so that you can save the set of rules you just created so that you can use it to rename other photos in the future. All you would have to do, is simple click on "Preset" and then "Load" and you should see your saved Rules. Of course you would have to edit the 2nd rule with a different file name to suit your needs. Just click click edit, and change the "What:" section and you'll be done.

Hope this quick tutorial helps you out.

Wired Magazine

2009-01-28T11:15:00.000-05:00

Wired is an excellent magazine with all sorts of information about various topics.

The latest one that i received is talking about the Truth about Cancer. Very interesting topic considering that most of us know, or has known of someone with cancer. The key is early detection, because if the cancer is detected in its first phase, the individual has a high chance of surviving. Yet if its late the survival rate drops more then 50%.

The latests one mentions the GPS craze. Haven't read it yet, but looks interesting. I was going to provide a link for a free subscription to WIRED, but i think the offer expired so here's a link to another magazine

Heres a link to Motor Trend, for all those car fans out there. Just fill out THIS FORM, with your information and in 5 weeks around there you should start getting your first issue. These things work cause thats how i got my Wired Magazine. So click here.

SUPERBOWL TIME!

2009-01-28T10:54:00.000-05:00

So its that time again, the NFL season is coming to an end. And after some crazy games, and suprises (matt cassel actually being a BEAST), we reached a point where only 1 team will be victorious.

Its either the Steelers with their amazing Defense, or the Cardinals with their amazing Offense. Pretty interesting match-up to say the least. So who's going to win?

My money, (not literally) is on the Steelers. Their defense is just too much. If they score, and then shut down the Cardinals, it should be over. I expect the Cardinals to score early, and if they continue to do so, without turing the ball over, then the Steelers could definately be in trouble. BUT, if the Cardinals have the lead, and let that get to their heads, then they'll mess up and the Steelers defense will make them pay for it.

I think Steelers are going to win. I could be wrong and Cardinals Offense may just be too much to handle. But let me just mention one last point.... the best offense.. is a rock solid DEFENSE. Thats why the Steelers have the edge. OH yeah and they have number 43....

Best FREE Firewall

2009-01-26T09:50:00.000-05:00

I've tried out many solutions as a backup to the windows firewall, and I have found that Comodo Firewall is the best one.

This program is not only FREE, but also packs a real time virus scanner, so if you're in need of both, then, there you go.

The only recommendation i would suggest is to only use the firewall, and to turn off the DEFESEN+SECURITY as this could get annoying (too secure). Just install everything, and then once the program is on the bottom in the task bar, right-click on the shield icon.

Select Defense+Security Level - then pick Disabled and there you have it. As a firewall it is flawless, asking you whether or not to permit a program to go online. This is very helpful because many viruses actually try to connect online in other to leak your information (bank accounts, passwords, conversations, etc.) or to allow someone else to take over your computer, in other words to hijack it.

Almost everyone after Windows XP has the windows default firewall, but still it wouldn't be a bad idea to have COMODO as a back up. So go ahead and download it

Google Chrome Slowing Down Your Pc?

2009-01-22T22:29:00.000-05:00

If like many, you wanted to try out Googles new web browser, CHROME, then you propably noticed that it could hog lots of your PCs ram. This happens because Chrome opens up a new instance of itself, for every tab that you have open. Chrome does this because if you have a problem in which one of the tabs stops responding then you won't have to close the rest of your open tabs. Sounds nice, but this could also seriously cripple your system.

So here's a solution, to open all your tabs under 1 instance of CHROME.

Go to your Start menu, then GOOGLE CHROME

Right-Click on Google Chrome, and select PROPERTIES

In the target box at the end after the QUOTATION MARKS (") add -single-string

and thats it!!!

Look at this pic if the above instructions are confusing

So with this in mind, why not try out Google Chrome? Just click here - CHROME

Photosynth

Photosynth is a technology developed by Microsoft that allows users like us, to get different photos we took and put them together like a map to create a 3d illusion.

Kinda hard to explain it, unless you see it yourself. CNN recently did something interesting with it, by putting together the photos they took for Obamas Inaguration. Check it out

Windows 7 - File in Use

2009-01-16T15:31:00.000-05:00

You know those times that you want to erase or move a file, or maybe eject a USb drive, yet windows wont let you, and you are completely clueless why? Well aparentely, gone are those days, we at least if you have Windows 7

Windows 7 will actually let you know why the specific file can't be erased or closed. Pretty neat trick. Simple stuff like that is what we need to make the user interface more userfriendly.

Can't wait for WINDOWS 7!!

Online Timer

2009-01-16T15:25:00.001-05:00

I'm always practing speeches every now and then so it was essential for me to find a good timer to use.

Most timers are just the basic digits (5:34) and thats good and all, but to look down at that every now and can really distract you.

So in my search for a timer that can tell you, how long you have left, without actually "telling" you instead just signalling you, i found this

http://www.tmdistrictone.org/speechtimer.asp

This is by far the best online timer i've seen! You can customize it to meet your criteria.

Lets say you need to give a 10 min speech. You set everything up and when it gets to 8 mins it will flash GREEN.

At the 9min mark - yellow

And at the 10 min mark - red.

colors that we all understand, and so make it easy for you to write down on your sheet of paper how far along you are time-wise without actually looking at the timer.

Try it out and you'll see.

Can you do 100 push ups non stop??

2009-01-16T15:13:00.000-05:00

Many of you are propably thinking "100!! Are you insane, i can barely do like 5 without dying!!"

Well what if i told you theres a great way to help you get to that goal of 100 consecutive pushups?

You can find it here...

http://hundredpushups.com/index.html

This site will help you greatly!! When i first started off I could do about 20, but I had to struggle to get there. NOW, i can do about 35 non stop. Not a big difference you would say, but hey, at least its a difference right!! My arms feel stronger, and they even look bigger (well maybe at least to me lolol). But yeah give it a try, after all, how many pushups you do is an indicator of how fit you are, and in this present time where people are having weight problems, it doesn't hurt to keep yourself in check right?

Aim, Yahoo, Windows Live Messenger Slowing You Down

2009-01-16T15:02:00.001-05:00

Now a days, we all have to use some sort of program to chat and stay in touch with out friends.

But there are 2 problems...

1- Each of these instant messaging clients take up valuable pc power, which really slows us down.

Some of these really hog ram which make our pcs run slowwwww.

2- Our friends are spread across different clients, some have yahoo, others aim..etc. So we have to sometimes end up using more than one program to say in touch with all of them.

The solution is meebo.

Simply go to www.meebo.com and sign in from there. Its inside you're web browser so it doesn't take up that much memory. You can even create a meebo account that will sign you in to ALL your IM clients at the same time.

Meebo also saves you're conversations for you just in case you want to read something later on. Real nice. So go ahead and give it a try...

Load MP3s fast!!

2009-01-16T14:56:00.001-05:00

Sometimes you just download a new song, and you just really want to give it a hear...so you double click on it and it takes foreverrrrrrrr(well maybe not forever but pretty close lol) for itunes to open up the song. Have you had that happen to you??

Well fear no more, just use foobar to open the song and you'll be hearing it in under 4 seconds.

Its extremely fast, and very simple to use. foobar can even be custimized any many different ways.

heres the link for those interested:http://www.foobar2000.org/?page=Download

by the way, once you do download, make sure that you change the default programs for handling mp3s to foobar, so that when you do click on a mp3 foobar opens it.
