MineCraft(updated)

This is a game in which your character has to survive from zombies and other creatures. At least thats what the objective is. MineCraft is a 3D sandbox style game in which you build stuff, mine, farm and do other things while keeping yourself alive. The graphics aren't cutting edge as everything is made out of blocks, but thats what makes the game fun. It has two types of game modes SinglePlayer and Multiplayer ( The latter is much more fun). Its currently in Alpha but will go into Beta in the coming week.

Website: minecraft.net ( just copy and paste blogger url has been acting up lately)

Price: 9.99 euros right now ( get it now , after the beta its going to be 14.95 euros and you wont get all the future updates

UPDATE: it has now reached beta and is no longer 9.95

TSA and the infamous body scannerz

As you know there has been alot of controversy going over the new full body scanners as well as the aleternative "pat down". In my opinion I think its too extreme of a measure to take to prevent against protecting people.heres why:

- body scanners reveal parts of the body that really shouldnt be seen

- The TSA agent's look like creeps due to the above.

-The pat down is also worse and makes people feel incomfortable( it requires them to touch your "private parts")

- the above is also a violation of The United States Of America's Civil rights ( as well as privacy rights)

-The scanners could pose a risk to pregnant women as well as people with other medical conditions.

-the body scanners in general are not good for our health.


So Join the revoloution everybody...lets show the TSA whos boss....you have the right to opt out....TSA just wasted a load in these scanners...as for Canada..no word if they have reached here yet but hopefully the Canadian Government will respect our rights!!!!


A REVOLOUTION HAS BEGUN!

Mitsubishi live FAIL

Well the live drive wrapped up a few days ago and it was a total mess. Firstly i didnt get my vip acces code like i was told. Then when i went in with the public my computer kept on lagging out because of the long wait...sure we live in an age of 20 mbps but not everyone has that kind of connection... This resulted in me waiting 30+ min just to get a turn ( alot of people lagged out amd were kicked shortly) and then. I couldnt even control thr car. I am vefy disapointed at how Mitsubishi put this out without putting much thought for us not so highspeed users

iPhone DST bug

In just two hours daylight savings time will end. While your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch may adjust the time automatically your alarm may not adjust on Monday Morning. There has been a DST bug that has effected Europe during the end of their daylight savings time. Apple is warning that the same issue is also with North American iPhones. Sure its a great excuse to be late Monday Morning but then again your boss probably knows this could be use as an excuse. To fix it just make a seperate alarm for monday that has repeat set to "never" ( this only affects recurring alarms as far as I know) like I have in the picture below




You should be good after monday and go back to your regular alarm. iOS 4.2 will give a permenant fix to this bug

4 Fuel efficent vehicles

Welcome all to our first comparo Before we get started let me give you guys some background info.

One of my relatives needs to replace his aging 2001 dodge caravan ( Its near the end of its life). So I was asked to find a couple of cars that would fit the descrpition of fuel efficent, reliable, safe, as well as pratical. And so starts this comparo....

There was a huge selection to choose from( Ford Fiesta, Nissan Cube, Nissan Sentra, civic and corrolla{ i didnt choose them } as well as a few othersbut there were limitations...

The car had to
- be between 7-15k
- Reliable
-only japanese cars ( sadly)
-Fuel Effcient
- automatic only

so we narrowed it down too 4 cars
- 2008-2010 Honda Civic DX-G
-2008-2010 Nissan Sentra
-2009-2010 Nissan Cube
- 2008-2010 Toyota Corolla

We then went to work comparing the models. We went first to the Honda dealer ( not giving names) where we were checking the civic out. We then discovered the main diffrences in the models. They are as follows:

DX: base model... no ac no extra stuff just basic

DX-A: same as base but with a/c, hence the "A"

DX-G The best selling/ most pratical model. adds cruise control and keyless entry.
We decided to look for the DX-G.


We then went to a nearby Nissan Dealer. We first laid our eyes on a Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V with a low price. It was awesome but we had onr problem... it was a manual.. Mind you we did considering bending The rule.
Then the dealer showed us a fully loaded cube which was too much for us.

Nothing much can be said about the corolla except that the dealer was pressuring a test drive.


So Now comes the final descion... what will be the best small car under 15k come back soon to find out.

Oh and have you joined our facebook page?

apple stores now blocking jailbreakme

when jailbreakme first came out for os 4.0 one of the best features was that you didn't have to use a usb cable to jailbreak. Apparently one person decided to take advantage of this and decided to jailbreak an iPhone 4 on display at an Apple store just for the laughs. People soon found it so funny that they did the same too. What came next was a huge swarm of jailbroken iDevices. Ofcourse they do restore themselves at night( now im not promoting this behaviour although it is funny). So now Apple finally caught on and blocked jailbreakme from the apple stores wifi. unfortunately for them someone has found a work around. by connecting to another wifi soucre via tethering or mobile hotspot on the iDevice, you can acess jailbreak me. In other news a new Apple store ( the biggest yet) is opening with a whole bunch of unjailbroken iDevices. Expect that store to be raided by jailbreakers within 24 hrs of the grand opening

ethernet vs wireless

alot of people these days have wireless routers.... which is great as alot of our mobile devices have wifi these days. But when it comes to connect two computers wirelessly it is not the best way. This is what I have learned. The reason being is that these so called " wireless adapters" which allows pc# 2 to connect to the router via usb are very fragile and the one I had for the cpu in the basement has broken on numerous occasions both physical and internal. Mind you , there are built in adapters in many of Todays computers and portable devices. However Ethernet , no matter how outdated it looks, is the way to go. Reason being is that ethernet is so much more durable and is also faster. This makes a whole lot of diffrence if your an avid online gamer. and range is no excuse also for getting one as ethernet cables can go as far as 100 ft if you look hard enough. Thats about all i have to say for now. Now if you can excuse me ive got to go and get my hands on a 30 ft ethernet cable

what owners manuals are all about

the other day i was reading the owners manual for a 2001 - 2007 dodge caravan. I cant help but notice all the little warning labels that come with pretty much every car. There is alot of instructions on how to operate the electrical components and such of the car. What do automakers think we are....dummies? Seriously when was the last time you had to consult the owners manual for a car to operate the a/c .....probably not as most cars share the same ac layout and all ( except with those with in dash computers which handle everything). Some of the safety information may seem obvious but sadly some people are dumb enough to do stuff that you shouldnt do such as letting a kid under 12 sit in the front passenger seat where there is an airbag. However owners manuals are useful if you want to find the SAE ra5ting for your oil or how to operate the feautures that are not so common these days like hands free calling. So if i were to make an owners manual for a car i would make two of them, one with the uncommon feautures and the oil one, and the other one which will be called " Health and safety for Dummies"

the long awaited LG eve review

as i am typing this i am on the road enroute to back home. i am so bored so to pass time i decided to do a review of my lg eve. ( my bad for grammatical errors i may make during this review.)

On the outside the eve is like any other smartphone with a touch screen and keyboard. you have your home and back buttons.
the keyboard is fairly easy to use if you dont care about grammar.....hence said grammatical errors.

the eve runs android 1.5 for most rogers customers.
although android 2.2 would be awesome im not sure if the hardware is up for it. for one thing you only have abbout 113 mb of ram when only the basic processes are running. plus when you do start running processes, android becomes a memory hog. furthermore this also reduces your battery life significantly. so 2.2 is out of question for now.

as far as other hardware goes the phone sports a 5 mp camera ( beat that iphone 3GS) and a qwerty keyboard about the same size as the phone itself.

all in all the lg eve is a good smartphone for those who dont use it much and dont care about looks but rather functionality.

now if you will excuse me i have a bit of work to do on my phone. ;)

Microsoft kinect's biggest flaw

Microsoft recently realeased details of Kinect ( aka project natal) to the public.

Although the setup is impressive there is one major flaw.

You see the Kinect also allows you to control the xbox using voice

And the voice command can be very annoying if you have someone in the house who ...say.... Loves to annoy you
So this is what will happen.

Person 1 : * playing xbox ( very intense battle scene in Modern warfare 2 let's say)

Person 2: XBOX..PAUSE!!!!

LG eve update

So chances are getting slimmer by the day ( the big day only 4 days away).

Currently if I'm going to get one then I'll have to get data plan


Now my question to you is:
Should I:

a) get the phone with data for month then cancel ( $100 cancelation fee) and get a normal plan

Or

b) just get the data plan

Currently I'm thinking about the latter , of course I could get a same old regular phone ( like everyone else) but what's the fun in that, I mean if I'm gonna be stuck with a phone for 3 years mine as well make it a good 3 yrs......

iPad review

This past weekend I passed by the apple store and got to test the iPad for myself. Here is my review.

At first sight the ipad looks just as on tv. Then when you pick it up you can feel the diffrence in terms of weight. When you first turn it on you will be greeted by a lockscreen similar to that of the iPhone except there is alot more space around the slider and also there is the slideshow button. After unlocking it you are greeted by a home screen which also can be viewed in landscape. Many of the apps work as shown on the keynote( particularly the photo app) the apps you get from the AppStore ( which looks brilliant) are very good too. My favourite app is the flight control HD app which is much easier to use on the ipad than the iPhone. The ipad starts at $550 with 3G plans starting from $15/mo.
Overall the iPad is a brilliant device if only it had a camera. It is by far one of the best products Apple has made. Well done Apple, well done!!!!

Re: why I don't blog as much as the others

Many of you may have thought why haven't I blogged as much lately. The reason is that 1) there's not much interesting stuff out there. 2) most of my posts go through the " Tech & Car News Filter (tm)" , which eliminates all the not so important news and only brings the content you want. Consider it as a a way of making the blog more interesting. I may however "tweet" some randomn but not so important news on @asyed2 on twitter. I hope you all understand.

Google has announced a new service called google tv. Google tv is a service which connects your tv to the Internet, allowing you to browse the web and ultimately watch videos on your tv. Launching late this year, google tv will come built in in some tv's or you can get a box which hooks up to your existing tv via HDMI. This truly makes me think google wants take over the world!!!!!
