Lol… check out iPhone’s counter-attack on Google 10 million dollar prizes to Android developers.

Who will win? Definitely, iPhone is way ahead as far as technology and Google’s simply chippin’ away to their new venture.

The only thing I hope for? That, Apple gets their bandwidths straight and start getting on CDMA networks or even better, WiMax.

With all the telecommunications companies profiting off old outdated technologies in the US, WiMax might still be years away but at least somebody is trying.

Check out the Steve Jobs press interview over at Gizmodo for more info.

When your computer dies and you don’t have a backup disk of your official Windows that came with your computer, you do have to resort to other ways such as installing an illegal copy of Windows XP. Well, that’s what I had to do since I do have an official license but no disks that came with my computer.

Well, I use Windows Movie Maker to make most of my videos and it’s a great video software that doesn’t break down.

I try to download it from my illegal version of Windows but I have to do a “Windows Update” in order to get the Movie Maker, which I hate to do and most of the time it tries to install this “Windows Genuine Checker” thingee.

Well, to download the Movie Maker without going through those Windows Updates, you can simply go here.

Wish Microsoft just made everything open-source and free, otherwise honest and good users like me don’t have to resort to illegal ways to get the software that I need.

Yes, the biggest problem with Microsoft is that they SHOULD offer online downloads of their operating system by simply entering the OEM product code.  That will help me save a lot of time trying to find illegal ways to get what I paid for working again.

Sorry guys, one of the project wonderful boxes had to be removed as we were making less money than on Google AdSense.

Gotta pay the bills somehow, right?

I apologize for any inconveniences it caused any of you.

Hi all,

My laptop just died like last night, sorry for the slow postings, will get back to fast posting again.

I am on one of my spare computers now…

Lol…here’s how you can turn your family van into a racing Jet Powered Van!

So you thought that driving a van was not cool? Think again, with this van when someone gives you a dirty look all you need to do is flip a switch to open the rear window and slide the two massive jet turbine exhaust ports out. Crank up the jet turbine and burn everything behind you! On the track it can do 1/8th mile in 7.65 seconds at 96 mph. Not bad for a vehicle that looks like the family van in the driveway.

Wow, check out this GIANT volume meter! So cool lookin’~

Looks like it’s some type of microcontroller with bunch of replays… Looks pretty simple to build… (the controls i mean)

“Volumen”, a giant graphic equalizer built by Argentinian artist, Sergio Avello relays the ambient urban noise levels around the Redgaleria in Buenos Aires. Pretty intense way of visualizing the constant buzz of the city, plus nice shots of the internal circuits at the below link.

Lol…it looks like Yahoo is trying to get a share of the social networking market. Check out Yahoo Buzz, it could create a lot of traffic for your site if you become a publisher.

Check out the About page, sorta very similar to Digg huh? Remember AOL try to do the same thing with Netscape? I think Yahoo would do a little better, possible better than Digg. With all the black market for Diggs, Stumbles, and what not, Yahoo could prove to be the winner in the long run.

Go Yahoo!

• The buzz can be about anything - a great story on a major news site, an extraordinary bit from an obscure site, an intriguing video, or a fantastic blog that shouldn’t be missed.
• Instead of editors, people like you determine the top-rated stories.
• A story is ranked based on its Buzz Score. The score is derived from search term popularity, the number of times a story is emailed from Buzz, and the number of votes a story receives.
• Stories with the highest Buzz Scores may be published on the Yahoo! home page - you can impact what millions will see on Yahoo!

Wow, check out this Oil Roomba that will clean up any oil spills. Get bunch of these together and they look like ants!

There are some new bots called OSP on the drawing board. Using advanced robotics, these guys autonomously work together to contain an oil spill by surrounding it with an inflatable barrier. Once contained, clean-up crews can jump in and suck the oil out.

Designer Ji-hoon Kim, must have come up with this idea after cleaning his house with bunch of Roombas…
