The Anime Channel comes to Hulu
I was exploring Hulu and I see they added the Anime Channel. I check it out and they have some good shows that I wanted to get add. You see most Anime I like is, well Japan Animation. Hulu adding that will make more Japan Animations be seen. So What do they have available:
As you can see they are making channels for you to watch. This is getting really good. If you want to check out what channels they have just go to Hulu and there will be Scroll down bar called Channel. I am thoroughly liking how they did this!! I hope to see more Naruto in the future. I hope they can get all the episodes and be up to where they are in Japan. I am also hoping they start put the new episodes directly to Hulu. That would be nice!!

Sneak Peak : A Knight In Shining Armor Review
Comments Off
So I just got done watching this on Hulu. I thought it was intriguing and somewhat like they did with the first show. Here’s a Small Synopsis of this show:
Mike Traceur has a past and people know who he is but He doesn’t so in the effort to throw people off the trail. Carrie Rivai decides the only way to get people to leave him alone is to kill him. So the FBI does a stunt and kills Mike Tracer. Now Mike has to figure out his new name and reconnect with his old flame. Which is Sarah Graiman, Who he asked her to marry to him and yet he does not remember it. In the end, Mike Traceur will be known as Micheal Knight and thus doing a return to the old. What is old is new again. I think this plot with Sara and Him will be quite intriguing but I don’t like how they had to bring in the Knight name again, Although It was something that was bound to happen.

How to Improve Hulu’s Advertising :
Comments OffLately I’ve been looking though Hulu and seeing what else they have done. I’ve found a secret that most people don’t know or haven’t look at just yet. If your tired of some of the ads that come through Hulu. You have the chance to improve the ads by making your voice heard.
Although this isn’t anything new with some stuff. This however can create even better ads for hulu. You see if they can get the right demographic idea of what people like, then they will understand what we as a viewer likes. I simply love this idea. This is a tramendous step for Hulu, this means we have control over advertising, and we can make or break an ad depending on who likes it.
As you can see these are poping up on all or most of the ads. If you would like to make your voice be heard. All you have to do is when an ad comes to you and you like it or hate it just get out of full screen mode by hitting esc (only one time) and you too will see the choices when you hover over that area.
Is Spore Worth 49.99?
Comments OffSo I been doing a little digging and trying to find out what the heck people are complaining about and I found some great reviews telling me exactly why people hate EA. They don’t necessarily hate Spore or Will Wright, but the Security around The Spore game.
So In a couple of these comments. These reviews talk about Creating the creatures and All. I’ll submit some of the reviews that I thought was relevant and let you decide for yourself. I would however wonder the one big question? Is Spore Worth the Money? Here’s the details that I know of right now:
- You can only install it 3 times before you have to call EA to get an override code. (Although I heard rumors that if you unistall it, you will get a credit for an Install)
- You can not Install new hardware or upgrade your hardware because if you do, it’ll count as an install, According to this one person.
- The game only allows 1 login per Install. So you can’t have more than one character and one universe according to this person.

This will get I-tunes to download the file again.
Getting Spaz to work with the Twit Army:
Comments OffI having successfully installed Spaz and use it with the Twit Army. I’d figure I would talk about how to get Spaz to work like Twirl. It’s a very simple way but some people seem to having trouble. This will only work with Vista or XP and I am not sure about Linux or Mac. I’ve been successful doing this with a Vista Premium Machine. It seems to be really easy to use and not take up to much of your desk space.
- Download and Install Adobe Air — (You will need this to installed first.)
- Download and Install Spaz — (This is the main program)
- Once install you will need to go to:
- Go to the [ Preferences ]
- Go to [ Other Services ]
-
Put this in exactly as shown (see example)
- Go to [ Networking ] (optional)
- Put this in exactly as sown (see example)
>
Doing this should get you connected to the Twit Army. I am not sure why it says “ERROR : Server returned invalid data” When you first start the program but if you wait a couple seconds you will see that it will eventually loads up. If you have any suggestions or comments please feel free to leave a comment.
Vista TV Ads Leave me Confused!
Comments Off
Bill Gates and Vista Ad:
So I’ve just got done watching this. I wanted to point to show people this ad and ask people what the heck are they trying to do. Is this like an epic AD start off where they have to meet each other first? I don’t see any real relevance to Vista other than the end of the Commercial! If I was Bill Gates I’d want to have a really good writer making sure there is some kind of relevance to Vista. I can only hope they get better over time. If they keep these this type of acting, these ads won’t get anyone to buy Vista let alone Windows!!
Fixing the Adobe Problem!!
Comments OffIf your have been having problems with Flash Players stoping after 2 seconds of playing. I have a few ideas to try to get rid of the problem. It used to happen all the time with Vista in the early days. Here’s what I did to occasionally get the flash player to work:
