I’ve been insanely busy with life since August 2011 and have neglected my poor website. Big changes in my life left me moving and losing half of the game collection. I’m sure the clever ones among my readers can figure this out without explaining.
After a long hiatus, I’m back and making a few changes around here as well as bringing in some new things. For starters, I got rid of the Game Collection and Beer List pages. Nobody really looked at either and as I said before, the game collection was basically cut in half.
The good news is I’m coming back with more reviews and some DJ sets! If you check above, there is a link to my Soundcloud now where you can listen to my very latest mixes! My setup is pretty sweet, I must say.
Oh Sprint, please protect me from Google!
06 months ago
Getting tired of my T-Mobile service woes and their retarded recent plan changes, I’m shopping around for service elsewhere. I decided to price getting a Nexus S with Sprint and ran across the below gem. Right as I was about to take a screenshot, I get a popup asking if I need assistance. Luckily, the Invisible Shield Dry will protect me.
New laptop, the HP Pavilion dm4-2015dx
27 months ago
After spending 2 weeks researching laptops, reading reviews, playing with in store demos, asking people, ignoring their advice and pulling out my remaining hair, I finally found a laptop that I am happy with. The laptop in question is the HP Pavilion dm4-2015x. The specs are as follows:
- Intel i3-2310m 2.10ghz processor
- 4gb DDR3 (1066mhz)
- 640gb 5400rpm hd
- dvd burner/hdmi/720p webcam/multi-card reader
- Intel WiMax wireless
The thing that really drew my attention to this laptop was the size and the build quality. What I wanted most out of a laptop was portability and in my price range of $600, the pickings were slim especially when it came to trying to find a Sandy Bridge laptop. Because of this, I was going for the Lenovo v570 after reading a lot of good reviews for it. Playing with it in the store and seeing that the price had gone up disappointed me and I really hated the hinge design. It has a plastic lcd hinge which is shiny plastic and looks like it’ll snap at the first instance it’s mistreated.
Walking around looking at other models in my price range, I came across this beauty and instantly fell in love. The dark brown color (they call it umber), the brushed aluminium body, the shiny chrome trim, the sturdy LCD hinges. I knew this laptop would be the one. The downside however, it was an i3 when I was looking for an i5. After thinking it over for a bit, that didn’t matter too much. The biggest advantage of the i5 processors over the i3 is the Turboboost feature. This is nice but after much deliberation, I don’t need it.
I bought this laptop at Best Buy and I was surprised at how well the experience went considering all the horror stories I’ve heard. The sales rep asked me if I knew about the Geek Squad services, I said yes I did and explained that I wasn’t interested, that was it. No trying to force me into buying extra services, no trying to make me reconsider, no forcing an ‘optimized’ laptop on me. Just an “Okay, swipe your card here. Enjoy your new laptop!” I really liked that.
The laptop booted up fairly quickly and without skipping a beat, I fired up PC Crapifier to rid it of the HP bloatware. Unfortunately there is no way to avoid bloatware with any new computer unless you buy a Mac. Maybe that’s why they carry such a high premium over PCs.
Using the laptop is great, the keyboard has a nice reassuring feel and the screen is amazing. I managed to get about 7 1/2 hours battery life out of it coming straight from the box. As of right now I’ve been using it for about an hour after some light photoshop work and I’ve still got 6 1/2 hours remaining.
The i3-2310m processor is plenty fast for everything I’ve thrown at the machine so far. I fired up Back to the Future (the game) last night and it was plenty playable at max settings. There were a few framerate glitches here and there but if you’re bored in a hotel room one night, this wont stop you from playing.
The speakers are of decent quality but they’re definitely laptop speakers. There is no getting away from this in any mobile computer, they just play sound and are pretty loud. Nothing special here.
I’m extremely impressed with the build quality of this machine. The aluminium body feels great but the bottom of the laptop is still plastic. The plastic has a really nice textured feel and appears to be pretty sturdy. My only complaint about the body of this laptop is that it attracts finger prints like a Korean ladyboy attracts horny American tourists.
Overall, I’m happy with this purchase and plan to use this laptop for the next few years. It’s got the sturdy build that I desire and looks that will turn the head of a few Mac users at Starbucks. I highly recommend this computer.
Nexus One and the new screen!
07 months ago
The proper repair procedure for a broken Nexus One lcd screen consists of 3 things:
- Nexus One
- Nexus One lcd
- Beer
Lay all the parts out on a table and dive right in.
In the above image you’ll see all that is necessary for working on the Nexus One. I had planned on taking pictures of the entire process but two things happened; the phone was a massive pain in the ass to take apart and my battery died on my camera.
Luckily, iFixIt has a pretty good article on the tear down of this phone located here. Unfortunately however, the teardown procedure misses a few steps and I was confused at several parts. With enough time and beer however, the phone was repaired and now it works again… except the lock button…and I had extra screws.
Go on, void that warranty. You know you want to.
The Samsung Google Chromebook exclusive pre-sale
08 months ago
So I was really excited when I got an email earlier from “The Chrome Team” with the subject “Be the first to get a Chromebook”. At first I was thinking “Maybe they accepted me into the pilot program!” but then I opened the email to find this.
Okay, so the Chromebook is officially on sale pre-sale. I click the ‘Go get one’ button to be forced to create an account with Gilt.com to even view the Chromebook and more importantly, it’s price. $500… are you kidding me? $500 for a computer that is supposed to simplify and revolutionize mobile computing. The specs of the laptop rival that of $199 Acer’s you can buy at Microcenter. The biggest insult however is not the price but instead the company that is selling this thing.
If you read about Gilt on Wikipedia, this is what you’ll learn.
Gilt Groupe visitors must be members in order to view sales. Membership can be requested at the website, but otherwise it is by invitation only. New sales typically start at Noon EST, last 36–48 hours, and feature merchandise from a single brand or small groups of brands at prices 50%-70% off of manufacturer’s suggested retail prices
Does that mean the Chromebook at $500 is 50-70% off the suggested price?
On top of that, Gilt has nothing to do with technology or gadgets. The closest they come is a tech blog which is barely advertised and seems more like an after thought than anything else. They don’t even mention the Chromebook which their own website is selling.
Let me get to the point. If the Chromebook is going to be $500, I believe it’ll be a failure. In order for it to be successful, I think it needs to aim for the price point of netbooks. The reason I feel this is because netbook users are looking for the same thing, a small cheap computer that gets great battery life. Googles market is nerds, not yuppies who want to buy designer fashion. What the hell were they thinking?
