Same old same old.

The thing I hate most about this website is that it takes about the same thing over and over. For example, the iPad. They write like 53298598237 stories about something that has to do with it. Okay I get it, the iPad is amazing, its touch screen but NOBODY CARES. Write about something new. I don't want to hear stories about lawsuits with limewire, Google or whatever, or about how the iPhone has new applications. This is the site where I would spend alot of time trying to find articles to write about in my blog but now im just bored and frustrated with this site.

The Karate Kid

So i watched this movie trailer for the karate kid and I think this would be the only movie i would spend my money on going to see. I love the original karate kid but usually when there's a sequel to a movie, it usually sucks. But this looks pretty good. I mean come on Jackie Chan is in it.

"The Snookie Song" A Parody of Tik Tock By Ke$ha

LMAO this is hilarious. I love the videos Venetian Princess does. I couldnt stop laughing when I watched this. If you've never seen Jersey Shore, you probably wont get this.

Firefox tool erases Justin Bieber from Web

Hahaha i found this hilarious. Justin Bieber is so annoying and all you hear on the radio and online is how everyone loves him. Well really, no we don't. He needs to act his own age and stop recording songs with adults who are five or ten years older than him. Seriously someone should just put him on the Disney channel and keep him there, yet everyone on the Disney channel; thinks they can sing and should become famous. But even though this is has nothing to do with this article im just making a statement. But now that Firefox has a way to remove articles/pictures of Justin Bieber, I think other internet providers will too =)They need to do one for Tiger Woods, Jesse James and Lindsey Lohan too.

These videos by blu are absolutely genius. I could watch these for hours.

Taliban attack US base in Afghanistan

There's a few different reasons why I'm posting this. In my opinion, the United States should just drop a huge nuclear bomb on the middle east. Those people deserve to die. I'm not saying the civilians, im talking about those suicide bombers and whoever else is a threat. Just remove those who aren't harmful and blow that whole section of the world up until there's nothing left but sand. Two, this war has gotten out of hand, I have friends who went to school with me who are over there who I might not see again because these grimy psycho people want to attack us. My friend is at this base that was attacked and I have no idea if he is even okay. Stop attacking the US because your life sucks! It's not our fault your poor, its not our fault you have nothing better to do with your lives. So stop attacking us and go blow yourself up since your probably going to do it while trying to attack us again. I honestly don't care who doesn't like what I have to say. I think many Americans agree because many have lost loved ones because of those people. Trust me this blog is nice compared to what I could of said.

Airplane design could use 70 percent less fuel

I think this is brilliant. Not only are these new designs for how future airplanes might look like awesome, but they are going green =) The planes we have now are boring and dull but the new ones are different and remind me of the cartoon The Jetsons. They might go as much as ten percent slower but Id rather have that and have the planes use 70% less gas then go faster and use more gas than needed.

Limewire is likely doomed

Okay the founder of Limewire is a complete idiot. Did you really think the federal government wouldn't find out that you let people everyday illegally download music? With how popular Limewire is of course the federal government was going to find out. They maybe be a bit slow at finding out but they aren't stupid. I wouldn't feel bad for this guy if he gets sent to prison or whatever happens because he is an idiot =)I mean the guy who created Napster got caught and now he's making people pay to download songs and he's making money. Think smart not hard people, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

Weekley Comments 5/10 - 5/14

This week I really didn't learn anything new. I helped Courtney with her film, I did my blog and worked on my portfolio. Since it's the end of the year, I don't think ill be learning too much. What frustrated me this week was when I kept trying to add videos into my portfolio it wouldn't work. So I'm trying to figure out why it isn't working. I'm happy with how my portfolio is coming along though. I'm going to change the layout of it though with some web templates I have that aren't from Dreamweaver. I might end up changing the buttons too, so they aren't so plain. There's nothing I want to learn. I just want high school to end.

Facebook joins PayPal, Ebay as popular phishing target

Okay people know how many viruses, malware and scammers there are on the internet. Which doesn't surprise me that phishing attacks on eBay, Paypal, etc has rose since the beginning of the year. It just seems like all these attacks are just getting worse and no one seems to be doing anything to help stop them. That's why I wont buy anything online or attempt to create an account because of all these attacks. Id advise many people to do the same until a change is made or something because more attacks will occur and more people will just get angry.

New DoS attack uses Web servers as zombies

So pretty much researchers uncovered a botnet that uses web servers instead of personal computers to launch a denial-of-service attacks. Now i really dislike people who send time creating ways to attack people's computers. But I'd have to say this was pretty genius. You enter someones IP address, length of the attack and the port to target. Read the article, it will explain in further detail.

The Third & The Seventh

Best video I've seen yet. Literally. It's so creative and inspiring. Full Screen it.

FCC plans Net neutrality regulations for Broadband

So pretty much this article is saying that all Americans should get a preserved and open internet. Everyone gets the same speed, everyone's equal. That sounds pretty good right? WRONG! This so called plan could affect around 1.5 million jobs by 2020 because reduced revenue growth in the broadband sector. Like our country hasn't suffered enough job losses. Plus its a good thing to have competition because that's what keeps our economy going duh. I swear people are beyond stupid. If we let 5th graders run huge corporations in the country I bet they would do a better job. If I had a dollar for every time a Chairman/CEO said something stupid or came up with a stupid plan, id be a BILLIONAIRE.

This week I learned some more filter effects in Final Cut. I honestly cant think of the one I liked was called. Probably a ripple effect lol. Then there was the filters that made a clip black and white, and lastly there was a filter that did the Brady bunch boxes, i really cant think of them name. I wasn't really frustrated with anything this week. I really liked that tutorial. It was pretty cool. There's nothing I want to learn, mainly cuz its the end of the year and i just want school in general to be over.

La France Brule

Okay now people from France are a little strange. At first the video gave me the creeps for some reason but after I watched it a few times, i found it quite funny. I don't get the concept of it at all. People have circles for heads, there's fire appearing and shes in a midget car. The city is a riot and its chaotic?

Netbook vs iPad

I think that a Netbook is way better than an iPad. I have owned one since last year around Christmas time and I've only had minor problems with it. I like the physical keyboard because with touch screen your fingers will produce oil no matter how much you clean your hands therefore it would get on the screen. I also think the iPad would freeze more than a Netbook. Plus they are less expensive than an iPad and mines purple which is wayyyy cooler =)

I like this video because its stop motion, it shows building and nature in an amazing way and the music remind me of Super Mario for some reason. Enjoy.

This week I filmed with Sam and Courtney for the Sour Punch Straws video. That made me happy to finally get through it without laughing through each shot. Hopefully everything turns out the way it should. Nothing really frustrated me this week. I was happy everyday. I want to learn how to make movies in black and white with the like 1930s effect. That would be super cool.

China drops of "Dirty Dozen" chart

This is exactly why we shouldn't have china make our computers! Look at how much malware they put into the computers we buy everyday. We need to start making electronics, clothing, makeup, etc in OUR country. But companies are so greedy today that of course they will take away thousands of jobs from hard working citizens just to save a bunch of money because the Chinese will work for pennies. Stop being greedy and have Americans make products. I bet if we made computers here that they wouldn't have half as much spy ware/malware =)

iPhone vs iPad

I read the article about how similar and different the apps are on both the iPhone and iPad. Honestly, they are way more similar than different. Most of the apps are just bigger on the iPad because its 10x bigger than the iPhone. Diffidently not impressed about the iPad. I give it two thumbs down. I'd rather have an iPhone.

McAfee to compensate home users for bad update

This is exactly why I hate programs that are "supposed" to protect your computer from getting hacked or whatever. Your suppose to protect OUR computers that have confidential information on them and when you mess up all you can say is sorry? DO YOUR JOB! Make sure your program isn't going to mess up. That's why you are supposed to check it 1000 times before letting it out to the general public. I keep seeing companies messing up and everyone's computer crashes or something. Who are we supposed to trust now to keep our computers free from this crap, when most companies are failing?

Ghost Recon Future Soldier: Future War (Europe)

I ABSOLUTELY love any type of film that has to do with the military. In this clip, the special effects are amazing. There is a scene where the one soldier has an invisible cloak on but you can still tell where he is and its just awesome, enough said. Watch it.

Korea cuts off kids' online gaming at 12am

Now about the whole video game/online gaming. Pretty much Korea is taking away kid's rights to play online games at night. I get that they are addicting and kids spends hours and hours glued to the monitor but that's their choice. You can control how many hours you play games, just most people don't until they get bored or tired with it. Yeah many people while on the computer or playing video games tend to eat snacks which indeed are bad for your teeth but yet again its their choice. What's next? You cant eat more than a certain amount of candy everyday? Let people live their life the way they want to. If they wanna be stuck on computer all day and weigh 500lbs then let them, thats the life THEY choose.

New Macbooks coming soon

Well I've looked at the new MacBooks and they look the same as the old ones. I think that Macs run so much faster than PCs and i love how the desktop Macs don't take up much room like PCs do. But these laptops don't impress me. Its like they could of made the new mac laptops more creative than just plain boring. But the battery life seems a little better and it has 500GB storage on the hard drive which i like. I give it one thumbs up and a sideways thumbs up.

I'm not sure on what i want to learn.

Staring Contest

I don't know why I find this video so funny. I think its the noises they make when they are staring at eachother. Just watch it.

Weekly Comments 3/15 - 3/19

Well this week I haven't really learned anything. I think in class we should watch the movie The Hurtlocker. I heard it was A-MA-ZING. I heard it won an award for something I cant quite remember though. I wasn't frustrated at all. I was happy to finish a storyboard/web site layout. I honestly don't know what I want to learn. I'm sure I'll think of something.

Jury rules against microsoft

See i don't feel bad for Microsoft. They can say "Oh we respect people's privacy and blah blah" but seriously its about profit. That's what the majority of huge corporations are focused on. They don't care about stealing, lying, or anything. As long as they do whatever to benefit them its fine. People have become greedy in this country. Like be thankful you have money and aren't struggling like half of America is. WE MADE YOU RICH SO THANK US!

Feds consider going undercover on social networks

I think this a very smart idea on the FBI's part. I know there are a lot of creeps out there. Ive had 30 year old request me as a friend/message me. It's like for one, why are you even messaging me I'm 18, two i think your a pedophile so if you try to contact me again, ill turn you in =) Like seriously if you are a pedophile/rapist, i hope you go to prison for the rest of your life or you just kill yourself. Those type of people deserve the death penalty automatically, i don't care what anyone says. You hurt an innocent kid, your putting a target on your own head. Go FBI and catch those BLEEPholes =D

This week i worked on some photos in photoshop. I really liked changing post card from being plain and boring to a postcard with cool effects. What i thought was interesting is when i merged layers together which had 5 different parts of a pic and put it together like a puzzle. I found that fascinating for some reason. What frustrated me was when i was trying to finish the last section of the chapter, i kept messing it up and having to restart. But once i finally finished i was happy =). I want to do more in photoshop because i actually like changing photos and applying different filters.

Windows phone in the mix

I think this phone is going to be simply amazing. You can play games (such as check your Xbox live scores) and it allows developers to build interesting applications for users. I love the fact you can zoom into your text and make it really large to see. I honestly think this would be the only touch phone i would ever buy. Sadly it doesn't come out until the end of the year =(

I didn't really learn anything this week, well nothing i can think of at least. I've seen some pretty cool animations like on eddsworld. I really love their animations. To see how much they've change since they have started. It's simply amazing. I wasn't frustrated, nothing really made me except the animations like i said and there's nothing i really want to learn.

Video games make kids violent?

Okay people need to stop with the whole "violent video games make kids violent". Listen, I've played shooting games since i was a kid and i didn't become a mass murderer. I believe that children who become killers had problems going on in their life, video games don't make kids killers. That sounds just as stupid as when people thought there was a criminal gene.

Telemarkers/sales people or whatever

I've noticed that the US affiliates a lot with the middle east. Like for example, you have a problem with a service or product. You call the 1-800 number what whatever and its a foreigner. Okay that really makes me mad. If you don't speak English clearly, I'm not gonna keep asking you to repeat yourself or to talk slower. It's called GET A JOB WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEAK ENGLISH AT ALL OR COMMUNICATE WITH AMERICANS. Kay? =)

I think these animations are amazing. How much time and effort these guys put into each and every scene. I love the detail in them, they don't leave anything out. But the one seen when the zombie bit off this guys arm looked like it went by quicker than it should have. The way the two guys from the future come through some portal was pretty cool. Its just an amazing cartoon in general.

This is really ridiculous. There is no need to put out a new phone every month. Focus on making QUALITY phones instead of quantity. All the phones i've had i always had a problem with. Maybe phone companies will come out with a phone thats decent and it worth payin 200 dollars for..

I have an Acer netbook and i havent had any problems with security. Although i do love the Mac's and i would buy a Mac desktop than a PC anyday now that i've worked on one for the past Year and a half. But if you really think about it, no computer is 100% safe..

HTML vs Flash

I think that Apple should support Flash because so many online games, videos, etc required you have flash plug in and if Apple doesn't support it, then you wont be seeing the video or plying the video game. It's going to make customers much happier if they start to work as a team.

This week i didn't really learn anything. I messed around with garage band and tried figuring out what to do for the psa. I would like to learn more about garage band though i thought it was really neat. I was frustrated when i couldn't get my blog done the past few days because i just wanted to get it out of the way but as long as i got it done it really didn't matter what day i did it.

iPad

I think this is a brilliant establishment Apple has ever created. No computer i know of weighs only 1.5lbs and has that big of a screen. It does everything a regular computer does, its just all touch screen. The only thing id worry about is scratching the screen or getting dirty fingerprints all over it. But other than that this is something i would invest i. I wonder how much its gonna cost, i know it isn't gonna be cheap..

Weekly Coments 1/11 - 1/15

This week I did a tutorial in Photoshop and I actually thought it was neat. I learned how to rotate, roll and scale shapes in 3D. It was a little frustrating how I kept messing up the same step over and over again. I was happy to be able to figure out most of the steps I had to do. I'd like to learn more about 3D shapes in Photoshop.

Windows 7

I got an Acer netbook for crhistmas and i love it. But I really don't like the windows 7 to be honest. Everytime I go to shut down it says it needs to do updates. But the next day when i go to turn it back on my netbook is still on and the updates are still stuck on 1. Id honestly rather have windows xp. Best software ive ever had.
