Cut the Cord, Get DirectTv
Friday, May 28th, 2010
I am one of those guys who will overpay and sacrifice tons to remain loyal to a company or brand that takes care of me. Not even a second thought goes into the cost if I am pleased with quality. However, I will go out of my to let a company know when I feel wronged and give them a chance to make up for it. If they do, all is well.
When they don't, I cut the cord--or in this case the cable. Last week, I had cable Internet, TV and phone. Comcast decided to play games with me for...
What’s up with all of this 1080p talk?
Friday, May 14th, 2010
Last Christmas my gift was an LED backlight LCD TV that was to function as a monitor more than it was to be a TV. I was not in a rush to get one back in December because I am currently living at home and am not going back to my university until July or so. I figured that the prices would just continue to drop and that the TV technology would only get better.
My dad already had picked out the specifications that he was looking for in a monitor/TV for me-- so that narrowed down my choices by...
TVs Go 3D
Friday, April 2nd, 2010
I remember when flat screen televisions (not flat panel) came out. I thought there would be nothing any better, ever. Then there was HDTV, and nothing could ever top that. Until now. . . there is 3D TV.
I keep seeing commercials for a Samsung 3D TV, so I wanted to look into them. The area I am at temporarily, doesn't have any of these TVs available for me to personally play with, but the Internet is full of reviews.
Everything I have read has been positive about the picture quality of the new technology. There has been no real criticism...
Predictions for Coming Years in Technology
Thursday, January 7th, 2010
With the dawn of a new decade during the information age, there is much hope for great things to come. I am going to ramble on as to where I see the trends going. I am not a techno-geek, but as an investor I am always on the hunt.
First, the world of computers. Everything these days has a hard drive. Video cameras, digital cameras, MP3 players and even gaming systems. All of this data costs a lot of money to replace, and many pictures are priceless to the parent of a newborn or the newlywed couple. The trend is...
Are Gaming Chairs Worth It?
Thursday, December 31st, 2009
Recently, I was at a friend's house, and we were playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on his Xbox 360. Well, as we played, we used his gaming chair, which made me think about writing an article.
Now, my primary question about them only has been if they are worth buying. They have a variety of ups and downs and look really cool, but they tend to be pricey and aren't always worth buying.
Pros:
- They rumble or vibrate like a controller does, which is very nice, as it keeps you alert and prevents sleep when playing an all-nighter.
- The chairs normally have...
