If you recall, when I popped into the local Toys’R'Us Store and spotted the Elonex 10″ Tablet they refused my request to open one to see if it was of any use, build quality and so forth. While it is not law that they obey my every whim, I felt an object such as this tablet was the ideal object that should be out for all to see. I did write them an email and this post shall detail not only what reply I got back but also my thoughts.
I had a quick look to see if any progress was made over providing an actual adblocking tool for Google chrome and to my surprise the Firefox one is now ported across (in some shape or fashion) to chrome. The Extension can be added into Chrome and starts blocking adverts just like FireFox does. I tested it across various sites I just Know never worked before such as Justin.TV, YouTube and random other video related sites that inject adverts. The end result is now it all works – so back to chrome for the sheer speed – which is up to version 9 By the way).
The HTC Hero (my current contract phone) comes with a 5 megapixel camera – what a large number that sounds, much better then say the 3 megapixel that the iPhone 3 comes with right? The problem comes when you want to take some pictures with it, if you have a lot of light, then this works great but the second it gets even a little dark, you might as well forget using it.
Virgin media are currently upgrading everyone Upload speed and preparing the exchange for the new 100mbit. Going by the PDF it says my area is not due till Aug 2011. I just by sheer luck tested my speed and got the speed above. Basically its 50mbit download and 5mbit upload. Of course this also means they will throttle back my torrents and news server downloads.
The purpose of this post is to examine shopping (in this case for Playstation 3 games) either on-line or in a store and how in my eye’s the brick and mortar stores need to re-think how they operate if they want to keep selling items. If you are shopping for say a TV, then it is nice to walk into a store and see how they look but in the case of software, what you get in the store is the same as you get on-line. I would also love to hear what you do, only ever buy online, rent games, store or whatever.
Microsoft produce the Zune Hardware player (an alternative to the iPod) and they also make the software which you can run on your windows PC, called Zune Player which ties in with the Windows Live system and the market place. I wanted to see what else there was out there instead of iTunes for example. I am not 100% happy with the way the software works and although a lot of people hate iTunes on Windows, I am not that bothered by it and prefer at the moment iTunes.
I like the idea of a Tablet computer and today I went into Toys-R-Us to look at what prices they were charging for PS3 games and came across a stand offering a 7″ Tablet for £89.99 while they had the much bigger 10″ Tablet for £149.99. I checked the box of the 7″ model, limited memory combined with android 1.6 and not something I wanted. I checked the specifications of the 10″ Model and it had Android 2.1, 1024×600 screen and other good stuff.
For every game out there, there is cheats such as Aimbots, Wallhacks and many others. They allow a person who is not as good as the rest to gain an un-fair advantage In the example of Wallhacks for example (as the picture above shows) you can see who is were in the game allowing you to shoot them the second they come around that wall edge. Aimbots make the game basically play itself – the second a person is within shooting range, the aimbot takes over and does a headshot or even shooting person right across the map. The purpose of this post is to work out why people do this and why it effects everyone including the person cheating.
