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.

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.

Weekley Comments 5/3 - 5/7

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 =)

Still Moving

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.
