Video Games on the decline. OMG!


Video-Games are on there first decline in over 2 years. Well of course this was to happen, there havnt been any blockbuster hits recently not from Sony or Microsoft. Last year we had Halo 3 which was named the best selling-game of all time taking in billions of dollars. But even without Halo 3, sales last year were up by 26%. Maybe due to the bad economy people are putting down there controllers and tuning in on CNN. So go, dust your console, grab a game or two you had your eye on and PLAY!

Youtube, PBS, Vote!


PBS seems to be not getting enough piece if the action filled news lately so there way to get it comes not from there people but from you, me and everyone else. Heres the idea, when you go to drop your vote at any of the hundreds of designated voting polls take your video camera along to record the experience or whip it out if you notice some problem but beware of the rules and laws or you might find yourself in handcuffs. Now with this video you uploaded it to a new channel that Youtube has put up significantly for your 30 seconds to 3 minutes long clips of your voting day experience. With this people can view it and vote and the top ones will be played live on PBS. Now go and place your vote and don't forget to record the experience.

B Bold on Nov 4th

The Blackberry Bold is scheduled to debut on Nov 4th, the day of my birthday and now that I think about it, I'd prefer the Bold over any other phone. Even the New Peal 8220. I say this because as I just figured I am Blackberry Fanatic but more importantly I say this because it comes on the only service provider that is raising your bar, at&t. This is good especially for me because I can get it without having to unlock it, like I have to for the Pearl 8220. It is described as a huge step forward for the business class smart phones as well as its way of living up to its name with incredible speed, power and functionality all wrapped in a beautiful and elegant design. $!@# they are so right, the phone has such nice looks, makes you want to hold it in your hand instead of its case. The Bold has the same screen resolution as the iphone, and can hold up to 16gb of memory with an SD card and has everything a young entrepreneur such as my self needs such as 3G and Wi-Fi as well as GPS and bluetooth 2.0, well I know what I want for my B-Day.

WTH!!! Google in video-games?!

Google one of the leading company's in advertisement and online searching has added a new idea, days after it finished its G1 or Google phone unveiling. Well as strange as this sounds Google wants to get some of the action from the booming video-game industry so it started a demo version of Adsense for games. This will put game related advertisements on online games. Google's entry in the video-game buisness was long been anticipated but to me and others sounds very strange, (World Domination).

"AdSense for Games will show, for example, ads targeted at young men in sports and action games. The ads themselves would be videos that players watch before or after a game, or after completing a level."

A new type of Radio: Pandora Radio


A couple months ago as I was surfing the web, I came across a product that I never herd of. They call it Pandora and what it does is when you pick a genre or a specific song you can vote for it, now when you vote positive Pandora automatically picks songs that relate to it but if you choose negatively then it will find you something else. The goal here is to get the ultimate play-list so you never have to search for a song again.

New Blackberry Pearl


You might not all know this but the Blackberry Pearl is my all time favorite phone, yes even before the iphone. I am real picky when it comes to phones, everything has to throw the right vibe and I felt my style coming from the Pearl series. The 8100 is the most basic model and comes with everyday use capabilities, the slighter newer 8110 comes a little upgraded and has GPS so you will never get lost again. The newest model 8120 comes with something that makes life a whole lot easier, because it has Wi-Fi which makes every penny spent worth it, due to the fact that your able to answer you emails, shop online and check your stocks and all this in the palm of your hand. Now grab your seat tight because the news coming to you will make you scream (well at least it made me). Blackberry has unveiled a T-Mobile exclusive called the Blackberry Flip 8220 and its named this because now it comes in an amazing flip phone style and still bears the honor in wearing the Blackberry logo. Blackberry's goal in unveiling this phone for the market was that so it can take part in the competition to make the best multi-media phones. And man where the smart, the 8220 has a better camera, a improved screen and a new trackball and don't forget the Wi-Fi capabilities. The only negative point in this phone is that it runs on T-Mobile so for me to get my hands on one, ill have to unlock it first.
