Review of the Big Bang Theory — Geeky Comedy

Plot: A woman who moves into an apartment next door to two brilliant but socially awkward physicists shows them how little they know about life outside of the laboratory. Some Famous Quotes from the show: Raj: I don’t like bugs, okay? They freak me out. Sheldon: Interesting. You’re afraid of insects and women. Ladybugs must render you catatonic. and Stephanie: *Looking in Sheldon’s ear with an otoscope* I don’t see anything at all Sheldon. Sheldon: Ahh, Well you’re the doctor but I am constantly hearing this annoying sound. Leonard: Me too. Sheldon: Is it a high frequency whistle? Leonard: No its more of a relentless narcissistic drone. and Sheldon: *knock knock knock* Leonard? *knock knock knock* Leonard? *knock knock knock* Leonard? Leonard: *opens door* What Sheldon! What Sheldon! What Sheldon! Sheldon: Tell me what you see here. (Holding his laptop.) Leonard: The blunt instrument that will be the focus of my murder trial?

SUPERAntiSpyware My Review

Ok I have been using SUPERAntiSpyware for quite some time, I used the free version for about a year now.  Ever since I found a link on Computer America website.   Now let’s face it, in Anti-Virus software there are many different ones.   I talked about Malwarebytes a few days ago now I want to talk about why you Should Buy SUPERAntiSpyware Pro.

Now let’s be fair about this, I was given a free lifetime version of the Pro version from Mike Duncan begin_of_the_skype_highlighting     end_of_the_skype_highlighting the Director of Business Development.  So I might be a little Biased but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t suggest to anyone who isn’t looking for a cheap alternative to buy a Anti-virus Software.

So with that said now we can talk about it a little more.  The Free Version is great don’t get me wrong but there are some key differences from the Free to the Pro Version.  Some of the things that I think are the most crucial points  for buying SUPERAntivirus Pro are:

• System Diagnostics — Lets face it there are more and more virus, Trojans, and Malware being created each day and being used.  This is a great way to explore your system in even more details and find those really hidden viruses.

Using Malwarebytes to get Rid of Malware

I have been using Malwarebytes for quite some time.  I have the Installer for Malwarebytes in place on a  USB drive so i can use anywhere I go. I have seen several computers with very old Viruses and this actually detected them.

How Malwarebytes useful

• Malwarebytes has a really good protection module to help prevent infections in the first place, but that requires you to buy it.  It should never be used without at least a firewall installed but it is a good defense against what I like to call a Drive by install.
• Automatically create logs of Malware that is found — This is good to for people who want to be able to check out what might be infected.   Also good to help identify the virus or Trojan, and find out how to uninfected it.
• Cheaper than buying AVG — Cost $24.95 which is half of the cost of buying AVG.

MyGodaddy Review : Thumbs UP!

I have been using as my Hosting Company for quite some time and really love the service. As you know they clam to have 99% uptime and I haven’t seen them go down for anything since I started. So Let’s Talk about this even more:

• Hosting plans starting as low as $4.99 a Month. (GoDaddy.com Hosting Plans )
• Domains starting as low as $1.99.  (Domain Sale! $7.49 .com at GoDaddy )
• Technical Support has been excellent.  Every time I call there hasn’t been nothing they would not do to help out.
• Wordpress, Simple Machine Forum, and even Wiki programs. You have a wide variety of programs to use to such as blog and have it up and running in no time.
• You can become a Reseller for Godaddy if you want, and have a store if you want.   This is also makes it even easier for you to make and sell domains for cheap.
• SSL Certificates — Keep your website secure and prevent people from getting information they shouldn’t.   This is good for businesses who have to sell using a credit card or registration for people information.

This is a good service for bloggers and podcasters who want to blog.   I have been using this service from www.GoDaddy.com and have been really impressed.  If you looking for a hosting this is the right place to go.   Although the support for www.GoDaddy.com is not the best, when I went through them for tech support.   They would tell me how to fix it and leave me do it myself but that is a good way to learn how to keep a website going.   I still recommend www.GoDaddy.com for people who want a dependable service.   Do you like or not like Godaddy?  I want to hear from you!  Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Star Trek Movie Experience — My Review

I had the chance to go see it Thursday and would like to talk aobut it:

*Spoiler Alert*

We start out with what I will call a Grandfather parodox, Kirk is born in a shuttle craft because the ship was being emergency Evacuation due to battle damage. Anyways Kirk dad is dead and this is where the Paradox comes into play, later in the movie you will hear “Older Spoker” tell Kirk about his dad. Listen hard and you will see where the paradox event comes into play.

Anyways this is the premise of the story, Time travel. We get to see how events unfold from the rebirth of Vulcan to the Kobayashi Maru, and How Kirk Handled the actual situation. We also see Physics come into play with Young Kirk jumping from a moving car and surviving. This however quite improbable but some would argue very impossible, see the link for more understanding.

Reviewing the 3G A600 Cricket Modem

So I got the Modem and wanted to test out the speed being stationary, So I go to my usual site Speedtest.net look at the speed, check below for speed.
As you can see this went fairly well. It does depend on your Cricket Coverage area. So you want to hear all about it.

First thing if you are upgrading from the UM100 Broadband Card, You’ll want to uninstall the Quicklink Software.  To do that you can uninstall it by going to:

Computer > C: Drive > Program Files > Cricket > Quicklink > UNWISE.EXE

(This will uninstall the Quicklink software, I’d suggest after you uninstall it you reboot.)

How does the USB Modem work?

Once you do that you can then insert the A600 Modem into your USB.  The Nice thing about this is the software for the Modem is on the Modem itself, so you don’t loose the CD for the modem.  It currently only supports Windows and MAC OSX operating system but I have seen there is a work around to use the A600 Modem with Linux if your wondering.Once you insert it into the USB you’ll find you have a new Drive.  It will say a Cricket CD Drive with 24 megs used.  You’ll want to run that program on the Cricket CD and that will install the software.

TINYURL being used by scammers and hackers — How to prevent it!!

With Phishing attempts going on with the TINYURL redirect website, I thought I would show you how you could prevent from going to a site you don’t want. Tinyurl.com has a great little feature, although it is a feature based on your cookies. It however will help prevent you from going to a site that you don’t know anything that about. It’s called the Preview Feature, and is available to any user who wants to use it.

As you can see if you enable it and you go to a click on a tinyurl, you will see this:

http://tinyurl.com/6t7ukk

As you can see, if you click any TINYURL links you will automatically be told where that link is redirecting you to. This however only works with there being a cookie left behind in your system to let tell Tinyurl that is has to show the link first. So if you clean your cookies out from time to time, you will need to enable it every time after you clean the browser cookies. This will help prevent you from being phished because you will be able to tell if it is the right site in the first place. If not then you don’t have to visit that site. This should be enabled on all Short URL Sites, I hope they make it a mandatory for any site that redirects. This would help stop phishing and scammers because they can’t hide behind unknown url. Only time will tell though, these sites are always going to have problems but this would solve so many problems.

Careless Facebook profiling can lead to Identity Theft!

I just got in contact with a old friend from High school and another friend of mine suggest the new friend. I was looking at her profile and couldn’t believe what I saw:

As you can see this is not good I was amazed at how many people are giving out there birthdays and who they are married to to friends and family. So we heard about how people are claiming they need help or are in need of desperate money. This is nothing new, as you know people are having hard economy times and people are using the social engineering to scam people out of money.

I feel that I should warn people the important necessity.   You shouldn’t be broadcasting your DOB and who your married to to your friends, just in case they get hacked.

Recent activity indicates that identity thieves are hacking into trustworthy profiles before selling on the login details to interested parties. This information is used by spammers to target legitimate users, posting misleading links on their “walls” – personalized message boards.

ThePirateBay might be blocked in the US

I was looking around on Google and thought I just for giggles check out the Piratebay complaints. I tried going to the site and here’s what Popups:

I tried on OpenVPN and my Local ISP, It keeps saying that. I then tried on my Cricket Modem and it tells me the connection has been interrupted, like something stops the connection in the first place. I can ping it and I can Tracert the Site but I can’t even view it. I would like to know if Anyone else is having this problem also. Although I’ve not checked Thepiratebay.org complaints for quite some time because I’ve been so busy with my website. If you want to watch your favorite shows check out these sites like Hulu, CBS, NBC, ABC, ABC FAMILY and TNT.TV for free. I am just curious as to what happened and does this have anything to do with Net Neutrality?   Anyway I wanted to talk about this and see what people are saying.  Anyone know what is going on?  Let’s talk about this and help everyone by saying what you know.   I don’t know if Thepiratebay.org is down but I do wonder if someone is preventing people from getting to the website.   I’ll update when I have more information.

Viacom might be going to HULU

According to some of the news post people are worried about Viacom leaving Time Warner. Now Here’s where Viacom might be going digital. What do I mean Digital, I am talking about going to HULU. If Viacom doesn’t sign a deal with Time Warner, that would leave a space ope for someone else like Hulu.

So Viacom isn’t happy with Time Warner, or They want to go IPTV. Some of the Headlines I’m seeing are:

• Time Warner Cable Loses Viacom: MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central To Go Dark
• Dispute Between Time Warner and Viacom May Affect Cable Shows
• Viacom could pull MTV off Time Warner Cable
• Viacom And Time Warner Cable Play Chicken; Programmer To Pull Networks Over Fee Dispute

These are just a few that I am seeing pop up around the internet.  So what does that mean to the internet user?  Well On one of there show’s like Dora the Explorer on Nickelodeon will begin to stream some of the shows previews on Dec 29, 2009 for it’s next show.  When you go to Nickelodeon Site you get this:

Using Skype with Cellular BroadBand Modems

If your like me you will want to make sure you have the best possible speed and connection with your broad band modem. Here are a few articles to better help with you get the best possible speed with a broad band modem like a Cricket modem:

• Cricket USB UM100 Broadband Wireless Modem Review.
• Get your Cricket Broadband to Activate Manually!
• Cricket Broad Band Modem Extended Review 12/23/08

Some other things to consider are:

• Understanding a Cellular Modems

These will start to make it better for you to use a modem and get the best possible speeds from the modem.  You have to realize what your coverage area is.  There are many factors in regards to your modem speed but that is something that you will have to figure out how to get better speeds.

How do you use Skype with your Cellular broad band modem?

Somethings to remembers with your broadband modem is you won’t have a good connection no matter how hard you try.   Most cellular carriers don’t want you to us it with VOIP(Voice of Internet Protocol).   So you will have to pay close attention to how you use the bandwidth and what you are doing while making a VOIP call.

Cricket Wireless Broadband Card — How to get better speed!

After buying the card last month,  I did a quick review about the broadband card. I wanted to talk about the speed problems that I had when I first used the modem.  Here is how to possibly getting better speeds when you use your card.   First off, you will need to disconnect from the internet and go to your quicklink mobile application:

You will click on “Tools”  and then hit ‘Activation’.   If you have it fail on your the first time you should reboot your system then try to do the activation after reboot that should fix the activation problem.
As you can see after I did the activation of the modem, my speed went way up from the last review.  I thought I should talk about how you could possibly fix this.  I called tech support over this to get a better speed.  

Viacom and ATT layoff some people. (12,850 People)

Today, we are announcing a company-wide restructuring plan that includes staffing reductions in all divisions. This will result in a reduction of our worldwide workforce of approximately 7 percent, or about 850 positions. We are also suspending salary increases for the Company’s senior level management in 2009. In addition, after a comprehensive review of our operations, we will write down certain programming and other assets. These three actions will bring us significant cost savings and other efficiencies.

Is this Hardcore PC Falcon Northwest Mach V Extreme or not?

Just saw this on PcWorld Reviews and thought I’d talk about the specs. I would love to get one of these for my self. It comes with:

• Silverstone Temjin TJ03 full tower case

12GB of DDR3-1066

7200-rpm Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 hard drive

1. (USB Broadband A600 Modem card for Free after Instant online rebates and Mail in rebate Free shipping & first month free! Shop today.)

3. Manual Activated the Broadband –  For some reason in my area they had several people have problems with the broadband activation.  So I had to activate it manually!!

After that all went well, I was on the internet just a cruising along.  I did however wonder why I was getting such a slow response speed.  When I went traveling I thought I would share some of my local results with you to better show you my speed.  All these test were done at

A brief video has appeared on Amazon’s website to plug the show — as spotted by Chris Nuttall at the Financial Times — which will also feature a guest appearance by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. (Not his first, by the way.)

Mahalo Lay’s off around 10% of it’s workforce!!

In an email he sent to the readers of his publication, Jason Calicanis talks about having to lay off around 10% of people from Mahalo.  Here’s the quote:

We’ve laid off a just under 10% of our full-time staff, cut our overhead by doing smart things like renting desks (we have six desks/offices available fyi), and reorganized our editorial department to focus on freelance positions over in-house editors. The net result
of the effort is we are giving Mahalo another year of “dry powder” (or runway) to complete our mission.

This is not to be unexpected after all the talk about the recession coming our way. It does however emphasizes the need for companies to consider there profit margins and accounting strategy.

Mahalo was launched in May 2007 as an Alpha test. That is to say only a select number of people were able to access the site and create feedback to the development of the site. As of January of 2008 it is in what we call the Beta test phase. Which means more people are testing it out and find out it’s flaws to report back about where they need to improve.  Mahalo’s directory employs human editors to review websites and search engine results.

Some G1 Reviews and how they compare!!

I’m searched the internet for the most relevent videos and wanted to tell people about them so here they are:

Video: Daily Debrief: G1 soon to hit stores

I found some other sources and wanted to talk about them!!

The Daily Wireless also has a review on it on there site. I also found The Boy Genius talks about there review also. They all seem to look favorable to the G1. Engadget also talk about it looking at the expectations of the G1. So far everyone seems to love the G1. All in All, I think the Iphone is in for a rude awakening. There Seems to be a Good Video on what the G1 Can do so I wanted to also add this to my list of Information.  This is Coming from Wall Street Journal:

This all seems to be very interesting and I can’t wait to get one in my hands

Little Big Planet Delayed Due to offending phrases.

Just off the presses folks,  “Little Big Planet” has been delayed.  Here’s what Sony is saying:

“During the review process prior to the release of LittleBigPlanet, it has been brought to our attention that one of the background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Qur’an.

“We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologize for any offense that this may have caused. We’ll confirm the new launch date shortly.”

[via dot.life]

So here I am as a gamer waiting to see all this and they have to stop it due to so called “offending phrases”, I would like to know what they were.

I am going to take a guess that it will be a short delay they have to get all the product they shipped and ship new ones to the stores.   It will create a big deal in the US due to all the new releases that are coming out just before Christmas so I would have to think around December if they are lucky.

Sneak Peak : A Knight In Shining Armor Review

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.

Is Spore Worth 49.99?

So 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:

1. 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)
2. 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.
3. The game only allows 1 login per Install.  So you can’t have more than one character and one universe according to this person.

Our Leopard Review Matrix

Don’t have time to read over the full reviews from NYT’s David Pogue, USA Today’s Ed Baig and WSJ’s Walt Mossberg? Read our handy review matrix instead, where we break out everything that wasn’t merely feature description in an easy-to-compare chart. You can thank us later!

It’s kinda of a big article go check it out!!

Leopard Review: First Apple OS X Leopard Reviews by The Mainstream (Verdict: It’s Good)

cdnURL=http://admin.brightcove.com&domain=embed&autoStart=false&” base=”http://admin.brightcove.com” name=”flashObj” seamlesstabbing=”false” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” swliveconnect=”true” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash” height=”412″ width=”486″>

Three reviews are in from USA Today, WSJ and NYT and they’re all positive (though some more positive than others). That’s Mossberg’s video, above, but the rest of the reviews are summarized below.

USA Today Review: Ed Baig says it “hits all the right spots”—a obvious pun, but it gets right to the heart of his review. He continues to say that OS X is superior to Windows (especially with the latest iteration), but points out the Boot Camp feature for people who need both. Upgrading for him was super easy, as was using Time Machine for backing up or migrating files, the iChat video chat/theater, the upgraded Mail.app, and the improved desktop, Finder (file browser), and .Mac features. It reads like a shortened Leopard feature checklist with the praise preceding or following each item, which shows how much of a thumbs up Baig is giving the new OS. [USAToday]

Crysis Gametrailers FPS

I am going to get this game soon, and thought the trailers look awesome. It can run on both Directx 9 and 10. 3 year old systems should be able to play this game. It is a Windows only game for right now maybe it will be turned into a Linux game also.
