Wow this has been quite a big week for tech news, I mean 3G has happend this week, and E3 is coming next week!!
1. iphone and itouch
Well most of you cant get 3g, so alot of you are still on edge, but from what ive seen 3g is gonna be great, so much faster, and the 2.0 is just amazing, its what the itouch and the iphone was missing to get the full user experience! Heh ive spent most of my day trying out apps and so far i am really impressed, Aim works flawless, you can upload your pics to facebook now out of your iphone, twitter is just sweet on it, and there is lot of fun apps, and the majority of the apps are free!! Amazing huh, so yea you itouch users spend the 10 bucks, definatly worth it, also when everyone gets upgraded make sure you get the remote app, amazing! ive never thought that my itouch or iphone could control my computers music library, i can now be in the kitchen and change music in 3 rooms away with my iphone, its just amazing.
Im so sad i wont be around to see all the great E3 Coverage, hopefuly matt or jake posts about it but this year is gonna be the big year for E3, Dont we say that every year? Anyway, tangent, umm this has been a huge summer for gaming we keeping getting great games, Gta4, Mgs4, do i need to say more? But lots of great game are in store, im most excited to see Gears of war 2, i wanna see what ever sony is hiding, halo wars demo , Fable 2, and lots more games.

In a place where gas goes up daily and money is getting tight, why do we continue to look foward to buying “New Equipment” instead of buying refurbished, you can save half or more if you buy a used or refurbished peice of equipment, a friend of mine bought a xbox 360 for 100 dollars yesterday, i got one today for 120, we got 2 xboxes for less than the price of a new one, you can get alot more for used, thats all im saying, watch this new video, comment and subscribe!!

We all see those cheap webcams on ebay, well if you have ever looked for a iSight or any webcam hundreds of these aveo ones pop up, so i thought hmm ill buy one try it out.
It looked great when i took this video for the test, but it sucks, the quality overall sucks, it looked decent on ustream thou, so it all depends on what your using it for.
First thing i did when i opend it was install the driver, and that was a bad mistake, lots and lots of blue screens for me today, ha, so heres a note, when you buy a cheap webcam, dont install the driver, second just cause it says 8mp, doesnt mean it lol thats just a sticker saying it. but besides that its a fraction of the cost of a iSight i mean it cost me 8 dollars, and a isight is over 300, so yea thats the only pro, you get what you pay for on a cheap webcam.
Some examples of a cheap webcam(If links expire this means you are reading this a month after it was written)
My final thoughts on this buy is you get what you pay for, but if you need something just to skype and ustream with, this will work fine for you, make sure to have good lighting, and dont install the disc it comes with, with the chinese symbol for driver on it. So 2 out of 5.

“Last week we brought you the news that google must provide records of everyone’s youtube video-viewing habits to Viacom, per a legal ruling. As you’d probably expect, privacy advocates on the internet are up-in-arms. As you might not suspect, whether google will appeal the ruling isn’t certain.
“We are disappointed the court granted Viacom’s overreaching demand for viewing history,” Catherine Lacavera, Google’s senior litigation counsel, told The Boston Globe. “We will ask Viacom to respect users’ privacy and allow us to anonymize the logs before producing them under the court’s order.”
She said “before” producing the records. Not “if we produce the records.” Others on the internet are reporting that google has “promised” to appeal, as of yet, though, nothing has been filed.
Viacom says it will not use the records to invade any one’s privacy. They say they need the records to prove that copyright infringing material on youtube is more frequently viewed than non-infringing material.
We think google should provide only printed copies of their massive databases to Viacom. It wouldn’t do any good, but it would be pretty funny to see the fleets of 18-wheelers hauling a bazillion sheets of paper that prove conclusively that some people like to watch The Family Guy on youtube. -Source : www.g4tv.com/thefeed“
This comferts me on one hand, but on the other hand we just opened a door for them, and we just keep opening it and keep opening it for anti piracy groups, Alot of bad could happen from this one court case thats all im saying. But heres my other problem with it they say they only want this info to “prove that copyright infringing material on youtube is more frequently viewed than non-infringing material” if thats so why dont they go by the views log instead of requesting logs on individual ips and users? i dont understand this, the problem i have with this is now they have the power to go after that guy that makes a sponge bob soulja boy amv, or somone who uploads a epsiode of drake in josh or any viacom material. This is gonna probley end up turing into a orgnaziton like the mpaa.

Camerons Pick
First off let me say this site is offensive, and the site has lots of cussing and is again offensive, thats why its my pick of the week, the website is called men are better than women.. ha, I kinda laughed at the domain when i first saw it on google adsense, then i started reading some of this guys blogs and i was like wth, Heres some of his titles just to show you what im talking about ” Why Women hate sex, Pets are not children, women would vote for hitler, and his first entry 10 reason why men our better”. This site is definatly out there, aperntly hes been on dr.phil and he has a book, the one thing that made this site truly intresting to me was the fact of what the women that read this site thought, alot of them agreed… WTH!!, and of course alot of the women hate him, I dont hate him, but i think his site is low and degrading, definatly worth reading some of his blogs thou, so thats why www.menarebetterthanwomen.com is my pick of the week.
