Hulu.com recently came out with a new desktop app. This app is available for both Mac and PC and is pretty easy to use. Although can be slow at times it is still very intuitive. If you have a Windows Media Center remote or a Mac Frontrow remote you can control this software with them. Just a little while ago Hulu told Boxee and other software that they had to get rid of there link to Hulu. It is now clear why they did this, although it is a little disappointing they are not allowing there website out there. hulu.com/labs

iPod touch 2nd generation review

Ptech — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:46:14 +0000

The iPod touch is a mobile multimedia device released by Apple inc. It has built in Wi-Fi, and utilizes the Safari mobile web browser. I found it incredibly easy to connect to the internet and found that, with an “excellent” wireless connection, the browsing was smooth and fast.

As a stand alone iPod, the iPod touch is great. The sound quality is very good, and, on the second generation model, it even has decent quality using the built in speaker. It isn’t the greatest speaker in the world, but it’s sufficient for minimal use. Another feature of the iPod touch is the high resolution “Cover flow.” It is a pretty cool feature, but, for some people, it can’t be used because if you use something like Limewire to import your songs, you won’t get any Cover flow. One other problem that I encountered was that the touch screen is still at full sensitivity when a song is playing. If your finger touches the screen in any way accidentally, something will happen. I had the volume increase to absolute maximum with my earbuds in, and, let me tell you, that hurts.

I have to say, hands down, my favorite feature is the iTunes Wi-Fi music store, and the App store. It is so convenient to be able to download a song anywhere there is a Wi-Fi connection. You don’t have to wait to download a song you just heard, you can do it immediately. The App store is also great. I’ve gotten some great applications just by searching around for a little while in the App store. My favorite app is the facebook app. It’s really fun to look at pictures, and chat with friends without having to sit down at the computer.

The iPod touch is a great mobile device, and worth the price tag of upwards of $200. I would reccomend it to anyone who likes music, games, and surfing the web.

Overall: 4.7/5

The Windows 7 public beta just recently came out. We decided to do a video look at the new Windows 7 which will come out very soon. So far it is a very good upgrade, besides it taking a long time to install.

RealDVD Review

logtech — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 05:12:36 +0000

Today Realdvd premiered for download. I went ahead and tried out the 30 day free try. My overall option is thumbs up. It was simple and easy to use. It noticed my DVD right away and pulled in the title information and artwork. It had a fast install, and after I installed a window below popped up, (could not be any easier) that said “insert a DVD to begin” . One problem I found was when recording the DVD it seemed very slow, and it was going to take a few hours. Of course this probably had to do with recording the Simpson’s hole 6th session. Another problem I found was it did not let me choose what parts of the DVD I wanted. I understand it is suppose to be easy but at least give me some advanced features also. One of the last good things was that you could watch the DVD while recording it (in my case I would probably be finished watching by the time it was done recording). Over all it seems to work really well but I just wish It was not so expressive. (Its legal because of extra DRM, but they have run into some problems.

WordPress Automatic Upgrade

logtech — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 03:40:24 +0000

When up dating my blog I came across this handy tool for WordPress users. This plug-in allows you to just click and update. It backs-up your data and then updates. It also disable your plug-in which is important. I recommend this tool, even though it is easy to up-date manually this is even easier. (Lets here your feed back on this handy tool to see if you like it to.)
