I’m bored, and have a few video ideas but I don’t know what you guys want! So comment (please!) about any videos you want me to make, either research and show you how to do it, or show others something cool. Thank you for your comment!
As I’m sure most of you guys on a mac are aware the Mac App Store got released on the 6th. I know I haven’t been able to post any new content for a while and I’m sorry guys(or girls). But I’ve been working on some projects and more to come! My friend and I started this little company called Unparalleled Software, and we started to make some apps such as: Pill Reminder and Do It. We are working on more apps and updates for the mac and also iphone apps and working on App List Pro. We are really busy and sadly I don’t have time to update this blog anymore. I really appreciate your guys support and views, this site got over 3 million views, and over 500,000 video views. I will be keeping this site up so you guys can still get help from my videos and other people. All I ask is one thing, please check out our website/apps!

I’ve played OnLive for close to a week now… And Steam for a few years…
and this is what you exspect from the demos 
Can’t see the difference? Take a closer look (when it’s full screened you can really see the difference) What I see(non full screen): View… In the demo (looks like full screen): View… … Now they can’t even make the text crisp… You can image how bad this plays out when playing a game…. As for Steam, it is the full graphiced game that you would buy in the store… You can change the dimension video setting and other things. As for OnLive you cannot.
They both cost about the same which in itself is about $10 cheaper than retail in a store such as GameStop. But if you buy through OnLive you only get the game for 3 years and if you stop paying the $14.95 monthly then you cannot play the games you bought.
I will say the price is the same between Steam and OnLive BUT for OnLIve you get the game for 3 years… Now that is a nice length but at the same time I’ve gone back to a game on steam in later years and for me to have to repay FULL price for the game when I could have bought the game forever seems a little sketchy.
I really don’t mind personally waiting an half an hour to an hour for a game to download on average 1.2 mbps while I go do something or go play another game on Steam (though sometimes the download will stop if you start playing another Steam game while a game is downloading.) But it is nice to instantly play a game on OnLive. No downloading. No waiting. Just hit enter and play. So I will give this one to OnLive for how quickly you can Play the Game.
OnLive says their product is really hard to hack, and I’ve found that it is. So good for them, though I guess anything’s possible. As for Steam of course it has been out longer but it has been hacked and mod’d (so far that I know of) that kind of give the OnLive an advantage for them as far as they can’t really lose money by people stealing games. I mean, if everything is on another server running on their computers, and then your account is hooked up to another server with all of the data of what you own and information, then again it is not impossible. I think it might just be a while before there is a hack for OnLive.
In January 2010 Valve (Steam) claimed that it had surpassed 25 million active user accounts. As for OnLive it hasn’t been out that long so there aren’t really numbers yet but I don’t think it’s that close to Steam. And I don’t think it ever will be. There isn’t much of a “Community” in OnLive…Yeah, you can watch other people show off their cool movies and send people/friends messages, but in Steam you have Clans, Friends, Live chats, Voice Chat and other “Community”- like things.
Steam is free; there is no monthly fee for having the software or any extra cost for the game. In fact a lot of the games are cheaper than you would have to pay if you bought them in real life. But you do have to use their software to play the game which isn’t always a bad thing. As for OnLive it is a $14.95 a month (I like to say $15 a month) and you don’t get all the games for free you still have to buy the games you want. Which is kind of a bummer. But they did do a 1 year trial if you registered before it came out so most people have the first year free but after that it’s a $14.99 a month. So if you stop paying you can’t play the games you bought!
Like I said steam you keep the game forever… as for onlive not so much plus on average they are the same price… As far as online goes… Now there is always the problem of steam closing making you not able to play the game anymore.. or if steam is nice just not online but you can have them offline.. as for OnLive… if onlive closes you can never play the game again as well as there is no way to get the game.. But for both of these they have there faults compaired to paying 10 extra bucks to get a CD and have the game forever.
Playing games is a huge part of getting a video game as I’m sure you can imagine. As as far as that OnLive has the edge on that. To be able to instantly play a brag clip of someone playing it, then you demoing it for 30 minutes, and then you instantly playing it seems pretty awesome. As opposed to Steam where you can watch a trailer about the game, then buy it, then wait about an hour for it to download, and then play the game. If OnLive had the Quality of Steam I think it could really be something great.
Now I love how OnLive works. You find the game you want… You hit it then you play… No downloading, no nothing. Instantly streaming it, which is really a nice thing rather than waiting an hour to download a game and then playing it.
I think OnLive is a great idea, but the technology and the internet speed just isn’t there yet. Like a lot of new things it has a lot of problems I am sure they will fix later on. But Steam has been out there for a while and they got everything done. Sure every now and then a minor bug will come out but they already have a brand, a service, and they’re doing a great job. First impressions really matter and I think OnLive didn’t really pull it off. As far as computer gaming goes I will still have to go with Steam. Maybe someday they will partner up or something and have a monthly fee for Steam if you want to use there “OnLive” service but for now I think you can take your chances with OnLive and hope for the best and suffer through the next hopefully only few months of bad bugs and bad graphics and hardware problems and I’m sure many other things. Or you can sit back and use Steam which has a lot of the big issues taken care of and let OnLive hopefully get fixed while you playing a full game with best graphics, and hardware supported.
As a lot of you might have known 2.1 is coming out tomorrow (May 9th, 2010). I know plenty of times have I given dates that have been held back but is this one for real?
Even Verizon says on there Droid Eris Support “Software Update: DROID Eris by HTC
Coming Soon!” Now who can be that excited about something coming any sooner then tomorrow?! With all of these hints it must be soon if not tomorrow…
Now I know what most of you on this website are thinking. “DUDE I JUST UPDATED MY PHONE TO 2.1 LEAK WILL I GET THE OTA!” and honestly I cannot tell you for sure you will or won’t. But I can say with confidence on this logic. The 2.1L has a version such as my Software number is: 2.26…. and Baseband version is: 2.41…… Assuming that those have changed in upgrading then it can only let me believe that if HTC released lets say Software and Baseband number higher then what we already have we “SHOULD” get the update. If not then we have a less of a chance. The OTA might look at our phone say to high and move on. Now don’t worry this won’t be forever if we don’t get the OTA. There should be a downgrade soon, which we can update to the Rooted 2.1 and possibly from 1.5 upgrade to the OTA 2.1.
Any questions comments concerns please feel free to ask in a comment below and others and I will try to answer them.
Cross your fingers for tomorrow.

The iPad is claimed as the Kindle Killer with its new eBook reader,
and its amazing 3D transition it really is a great experience for
reading a children’s book. However, let’s face it a Kindle and an iPad are very different, screen wise. The screen of the Kindle looks like a piece of paper with its E-Ink screen, as appose to the iPhone with its glossy screen and glare the screen has a huge impact on how to read a book. If you have ever been on a computer a lot playing a video game or
reading an article your eyes, get dried out. Eyestrain is often caused by
excessively bright light coming in from outside and excessively bright
light inside. As you can imagine the Kindle is MADE to read books. The
screen looks like paper and doesn’t use LED’s to “brighten” and “color”
the screen. It looks just like paper solving the problem of your eye’s
getting strained. Eye dryness can cause much permanent damage to your eye and when you’re reading a book your eyes are very focused to the screen and if the screen is causing you not to blink as much as 10+ hours a day you might be actually in risk of a health issue by just reading on the iPad. With its bright display and fancy 3d display is it really worth it?
Apple really likes making money with over 65billion dollars in the bank,
they really don’t need to worry but like most companies they love to make
more. They have year after year not released a camera on the front of
their iTouch, iPhone, and now even more of a reason than ever the iPad.
Why not? The only answer is that they want people to buy version 2.0 of iPad…Version 4 of the iPhone… etc… They talk about how great the iPad is surfing the web and being on the internet, and they’re taking away
the privilege they really started with their iChat video chat. It’s kinda
silly for them to waste that long, and the excuse of the internet being
too slow or any of that they have plenty of apps that do half the job.
Fring does video chats, but again they don’t put a camera on the front,
there is also QIK and USTREAM which are also live streaming video that
could easily be used for video chat, even if it wasn’t the clearest thing
in the world, you can see the person, and it would put them ahead of the
game.
Not only is the iPad WiFi ($500-$992.00) (with all of the little gadgets that
you know you will get) iPad 3g ($629-$1,221.) You’re paying close to 1,000$ by the end of the day and you still have to have a computer? They could
have easily made the iPad its own full computer, such as a netbook but they
choose to make it so you have to have a computer. And lets face it the
people that buy Apple stuff have a Mac. I don’t know 1 person that
bought an iPad that didn’t have a Mac or 3 different Spple products. So if you don’t have a Mac and you walk in wanting the best because you don’t want to buy a new computer in a while you get a Mac Pro, costing close to $3,000 and your in a spending mood and then they start convincing you oh for $500 you can get a nice portable iPad that you can take on the go to do your emails… have over 120,000 apps… yatta yatta yatta there is absolutely no way you will turn that offer down right? With there happy smile taking your money away… The iPad could be something so amazing! You spend 1,000$ the price of there low end MacBook and you don’t get a Camera, Printing feature and features that a computer should have! It really is just a huge iPod Touch. It would be nice if it was a full featured Snow Leopard that would run App Store Apps rather than only running apps. It can
easily do that as well. Just as a comparison the Nexus One, pretty much
1 fourth the size of the iPad, Qualcomm QSD 8250 Snapdragon 1Ghz
Processor, 512MB RAM, and the iPad: A4 runs at 1GHz and 256 mb of ram!
The iPad is so much bigger and it is not any better and in some clases
someways worst specs then the Nexus One by Google. It doesn’t make
sense! Why would they do that? Money? Probably, if they came out with a
3GHz 4gig ram iPad (which I wouldn’t be surprised, could be out by now)
with a camera, OLED screen, they would make no money in the future.
Apple is so good at making 3 versions of the same product and the person
that bought version 1 buys version 3, and the person that buy version 2
buys version 3, and the person that buys version 3 buys every accessory
possible. It just there little way of maximizing there profit. They
don’t come out with the best thing they could so they can make version
2.. 3.. of the iPad. They know what the problem of the device is before
they release it and they make sure it’s just good enough to sell perfectly.
The iPad does everything except the things they know it should do.
iWork Really? not only are you spending 1000$ on an iPad with no 10$
card to iTunes store or iWork for free but you end up spending 10$ per
app of there iWork apps, Pages, Keynote, Numbers. Every dollar they can
juice out of you they will. I mean yah the new Pages for the iPad looks
amazing so does the Keynote (and I don’t use Numbers but it looks nice.)
They make points directly relating to how college kids can use it and of
course there going to get Pages, and so everyone on an iPad is going to
get Pages, thats 10xNumber of iPads sold (350,000 iPad sold since April 9th) plus maybe even 30$ depending on the person. When you walk into an Apple store and look at the iPad and how they treat you with how is your day, look at our shiny shit, really think, do you really need this? or is it just pretty and yah you guess yal use it now since you have it. Apple makes you believe that this is what you need to be cool, cutting edge, modern. Its a false sense of being powerful when in fact Apple owns you in the long run.
The first thing I saw from the iPad was just the gaps from the Apps.
They literally just put the iPhone os on it, and changed background.
Sure the apps work on a bigger screen but really those apps are so far
apart! I don’t need a thumb space between each one of the apps. If
people were fine with big fingers on the iphone there isn’t a point to
have such big gaps? So maybe its to make it look like each app is
special, and you have more. Sure they could fit like 6 by 6 and have a 6
app dock but they aren’t going to do that.
As a final conclusion. They just pay millions if not billions of
dollars paying people to figure out every little nick, trend, best time
to do everything. Apple knows what they are doing. And to be honest I’m
going to wait in line for the iPhone 4G and then in another year get the
new iPhone 4G 2.0 with all of the problem fixed that they knew they the iPhone 4G
1.0 had before they even released it. Even after how much I hate how
Apple works, what they make is unique and its something to look at and
show off to your friends, even though everyone has a Mac now, it a
pretty computer that has style and a nice UI. And I applaud Apple for
what they are and what they make. But I wish they would be less greedy
and release the TOP NOTCH thing rather then the things that came out a
year ago put a nice metal case on them and sell it with there logo.
