Google talk.. Its perfect.

0 comments

So Google talk has been out for a week now. It has been getting a lot of attention, some of it negative. Of course this is due to the overly simple UI, and the fact that there are not enough features. I can see that most people would agree. Every one wants a nice picture, and a profile, and all these random features, that would only increase the size of the install itself. Personally I think its absolutely perfect. The only thing that I ever did with any messenger program, is type, and occasionally talk through the mic. Google has made it so its very very easy to manage your speech boxes, and the call quality, is from what I have heard better then the leading voip services. But I am a little upset.. Even though It is perfect for someone like me, Google should know that most of their users need more and more features. It is BETA but Gmail has been in beta for a year, and when it first came out it was the best service on the web.

P.S. How is the new header, email me with feed back. hosvos@gmail.com

Every one loves Pepe Le Pew the biggest pimp in cartoons, so now you too can use thses sure fire pickup lines and pick up plenty of skunks... uhh I mean ladies.

“You are my peanut, I am your brittle!”

“Permit me to introduce myself, I am your new lover.”

“Where are you, my little object of art? I am here to collect you.”

“Is it possible to be too attractive?”

“You know, most men would get discouraged by now fortunately for you, I am not most men!”

“You stop resisting me, bebe, and I’ll stop resisting you.”

“The game of love is never called on account of darkness, my little midnight snack."

“You may call me Streetcar, because of my desire for you.”


EPIC the Road to 2015

EPIC is a rather creepy video. It starts talking about how the internet was started, and continues into predictions about the future. Mostly it follows Google and what they will be doing. According to this By 2015 the New York Times will go offline, and people will all be getting their news through Google's Epic. Its Really awesome, best to watch with the lights out.

EPIC 2015

PS - there was also a 2014 version but it have been updated since then, hopefully we will see another by 2006

Counter Strike Humorous Essay

0 comments

Last year at school we where given an essay assignment. It was to write a humorous essay similar to a Dave Barry type thing. I'm no comedian, but I had fun writing this, and I like how it turned out, any suggestions on how to add to it or change it so I can turn it in again next year. (Hopefully for another "A")

COUNTER-STRIKE

Counter-Strike is known as the worlds most popular on-line game for the PC. It is a very simple game. You are either on the terrorist team or on the counter-terrorist team. Your objective is to eliminate the members of opposing force. Counter-Strike is not just a game. Playing Counter-Strike is a lifestyle. If you do not devote at least eight hours of your day playing Counter-Strike(CS) you have no chance of becoming a pro, or earning the coveted ranking of 1337(elite). The hardest part of the game is to get started. You will need an incredibly fast computer and the patience of a sloth. No one is born a good player, but with some time and concentration you can become great. But don't get your hopes up.

First you are going to need to build your own computer(gaming rig). You are probably asking, why can't I just buy a computer? Well the answer is, Dell or Gateway can not offer the power you need in a computer, and you need a customizable “rig” to get a solid 933 frames per second(fps) in the game. CS is a very demanding game for your computer and you will need the best of the best in PC hardware. The first priority is installing two graphic cards, each running at 512 megabyte clock-speed, at least 10 gigabytes of DDRX-400 ram, and an AMD FX-69 processor. These components are most important and should cost only about $3,000. On top of that you will need at least a 20,000 RPM hard drive that has a capacity of at least 13 terabytes. Once you get a standard motherboard, case, and blue-ray disk drive, you should have a standard gaming rig ready for CS at just under $19,000. Now comes the hardest part, getting started.

The best way to learn the game, is to learn the levels(maps). When you are able to navigate thorough all 93 maps blind folded, you will be ready to start using the weapons. It's important to know your team, and your opponents better than you know yourself. Using the PC microphone you have to carefully plan your attack, or defense. Equally important is the fact that certain guns are better for certain situations. For instance in maps that take place inside an office building, you will need to use guns with better firing capability at close range, and you will not be using a sniper rifle. Once you get to know what gun to use, you have to learn how to shoot. Bursts are always best at long range, and never reload in the middle of an enormous gun fight. It is best to try out many weapons to see what suits you best. The most important part of Counter-Strike is your game conduct.

Now that you have the basics of game play down, you can't jump right into a game. Remember that you, along with everyone you are playing against on line, has the power to type or speak against you in the microphone. In CS you are not let back into the game until there is one clear winner and this could take a long time. Below is an example of the type of conversations that could come up while you are waiting to be let back in the game. The names have not been changed, and at the end of the essay there is a glossary providing information on the obscure vocabulary. (NOTE: the bolded text is not to be graded for grammar. It is they way that gamers communicate.)

There are only two players left, and they are both camping and not looking for each other.

1337_H4x0r- man this is gonna take fore ever....

ULTRAn00b- dude hes at “A” man go to “A” go to “A” man

kewlGUY67- hey n00b they cant read what you are saying while they are still in the game!!

Suddenly ULTRAn00b starts playing ultra cheesy European Techno over the microphone. Everyone can hear it...

R3D3V1L- dude you better turn that crap off or the admin is gonna ban you off the server.

ULTRAn00b- dude it wasn't me I swear...

R3D3V1L- yes it is, we can see who is talking...

Finally the time runs out and a new round starts, when it ends a flame war erupts.

KewlGUY67- OMG OMG OMG 1337_H4x0r is hacking the game, he killed everyone on the other team in just 10 seconds, he needs to be banned now.

GACSman- ahhh the nooob hacker 1337_H4x0r is hacking he thinks he is sooo tuff the admin better ban him now.

R3D3V1L- OMG what just happened I was playing and sudenly Im dead. HOOOO is hacking!!1111!11!1111!111! And ULTRAn00b you better turn off that music now.

ULTRAn00b- im sorry please dont ban me.

Suddenly the hacker named 1337_H4x0r is out of the game and starts chatting.

1337_ H4x0r- wow you guys all suck I guess I rele pwnzerd you all.

The admin bans him and he is off of the server forever.

This is only a small example of the types of things that are being said while in the middle of a game. It is best to stay out of the conversation in general, unless someone is talking badly about you at which point you retaliate with a slew of insults from which they can not recover. You can also try to use the microphone as little as possible and especially do not play music on it. It is also best not to share your feelings concerning anything that is going on outside of the game(politics, other games, current events, etc.). This could inadvertently trigger a flame war.

Those are just the basics. You will need to discover the rest for yourself while playing the game. After a solid 365 days of playing for eight hours each day, you might be ready to join up with some clans. Clans are a group of people that stick together as a team, often competing in tournaments for money and prizes. But don't get your hopes up. As you play, you may feel like your wasting you're time and your money on this game that only geeks play. That's not true. You must spend as much time playing as you can and you must spend at least $1000 on your computer to upgrade it monthly. In five or six years you might make some money back. But don't get your hopes up. By following these simple instructions you can and will be a great player some day. But don't get you hopes up.



My Vendetta, on the Makers of V for Vendetta

0 comments

Well folks looks like we are gonna be waiting a few more months for V for Vendetta. It turns out that a spokesperson for for Warner Brothers said that they still wanted to make some final edits, and touch-ups for the final cut of the movie. Though the movie does deal with a form of terrorism in a fascist ruled London, the spokes person said that the delay has nothing to do with the "current political climate". The movie has come under some discussion, as the main character, and protagonist is the one committing the acts of terror. In my opinion, while the bombings in the story do kill people they are all fascists and evil(as they are portrayed in a similar style to Hitler and the Nazi's). This movie will be great, and it will make money, but why the delay.
What is V for Vendetta...
It started as a graphic novel created by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. It was released sometime in the 80's and set in 1997. Apparently WW3 has happened, and nukes where launched everywhere. London is still around, but now it has been taken over by a group of fascists called Noresfire. Over time they have set up cameras and the government has all become a big brother type thing. They do plenty of tests on groups of minorities in concentration camps. Among them, as we find out is a man who we only know as Codename V. In the book you never see his face, and he is very mysterious(talks in rhymes, has no past). He (in a way I will not describe due to spoilers) realizes that he needs to rise up against the government. He escapes, goes to London and starts on his crusade against the government. He later recruits a girl named Eve Hammond, she has no where to go in her life and he ends up rescuing her from some the fascists in a dark London alley. She joins him and they end up working together. The book was incredible, I have read it many times, and from what I saw in the Preview I know I will not be disappointed from the movie. But it looks like we will all have to wait for "Q1 2006". Until then there is all ways the preview, and that will have to do.
The movie is being produce by Joal Silver, and its under Silver Pictures. The Wackaoski brothers are directing and leading the creative aspect of it. It stars Hugo Waeving as V(aslo in the Matrix as Agent Smith) and Nataile Portman as Eve(also from Star Wars). For more information on the movie check the main site.

The Charging of The... Henrico Residents?

0 comments

As many of you know, Henrico county had a great Apple iBook deal on the 16th of August. For $50, you could buy a used G3 White iBook. 10 gigabite hard drive, 500mhz processer, 320 megabites of ram, and it runs Mac OS 10.2. Wow, totally worth it, espacily since these laptops go for $300 bucks on ebay. I first saw this on digg.com in the middle of July. I was super excited, I had a plan, I had my route set up through Google Maps, my dad even took a day off of work just so we could leave at midnigt and get there around 4:00 in the morning. Every day the anticipation was building, and then through Thunder Bird came the link saying that the date has changed, and now it will only be open to residents of Henrico County. I was upset, and now had to resort to paying in full for my next computer. I ended up just forgetting about it. Now that the day has passed I am glad I didnt go at all.

It turns out that people started showing up at around 1:30 in the morning. From then until 7:00AM a total of 12,000 residents of Henrico County showed up and where waiting in a half mile long line to get to the gates. There where only 1000 laptops available. As soon as the gates opende, a stampede of people ran past the security, into the building, and ran for their laptops. Imagine if they had left it open to even those outside of Henrico.
“This is total, total chaos,” said Latoya Jones, 19, who lost one of her flip-flops in the ordeal and later limped around on the sizzling blacktop with one foot bare.
One women even wet herself so she could keep her place in line. What is it about these deals that drive people insane. People were gettiing trampled, and hurt, and many at the front of the line didnt get a laptop at all. The security did not do the job correctly and the county should have known that all of these people would come. In my opinion, there should have been a small advertisment in the Henrico County Paper, about 5 days ago. No crowd, no worrys, no problems.

Video of the Madness.. they rele dont seem to care about the 11,000 other people that never got their laptops.
More on the iBook deal.

Video of the Day? Weapon of Choice

3 comments

Weapon of ChoiceFatboy Slim, is one of my favorite musicians. And I'd say his music is only surpassed by his videos. This one for Weapon of Choice is smart, funny, and has a clever use of CG. It stars Christopher Walken, and he is doing all these crazy dance moves. The best part is when he goes up the elevator. Enjoy

Meetro, It breaks the Ice, and gets bought by Google.

0 comments

This is the second time I will be writing this. I definitely cant wait for the Firefox 1.5 update in September, I cant take the goddamn crashing. Anyway.
Dont worry, I have heard plenty of rumors that Google will buy Meetro, and plenty more rumors that it wont. But the applications of Google and Meetro could be incredible. What is Meetro. Meetro is a location aware instant messaging service. Its LOCATION AWARE, that means it tells your friends and contacts where you are, and when you are there. We know Google is taking the steps toward location aware services, a few months ago they bought Dodgeball. Dodgeball has a cell phone service that allows you to add your friends and contacts to your phone, and then rings when someone is near you. This is very very cool, but also kind of creepy. You can also add people you don't know to your list, like celebrities. Then you would know where they are all the time. Or even worse. Your out with the guys, and your girlfriend/wife/significant other knows where you and and she wishes you where home with her. Anyway, I wouldn't know what that's like. Back on topic, Google's adsense program could definitely have a future with location aware. Imagine that Joes Pizza pays google for ad space. Now Steve is over at Starbucks chatting with his friends on Googl's location aware messenger. As he is talking, on the side of his screen could appear a sponsored links box, saying something like. "Did you know that Joes Pizza is right across the street, why don't you have a bite or take some home". That's the future of advertising, and that will be brought to you by Google. Not intrusive at all, and definitely accurate to the consumer's needs, and in this case their location. For further Ideas on Google, scroll down and look for my Predictions on Google Bucks.

Formula 51 my REVIEW

0 comments

Okay so lets set it up. Sam Jackson in a kilt, in Liverpool, trying to sell drugs, having problems, but funny as hell. It turns out that Sam Jackson has the formula for the ultimate drug, in his head. It cant be detected and all of the ingredients can be legally purchased. He works for a guy named Lizard (played by Meat Loaf, AKA Bob from Fight Club), and they are about to sell the formula of this "drug". Sam Jackson turns on him and decides to fly to England and try to sell it there. Lizard gets a hit man(woman) to return Sam Jackson to him so he can get the formula and then kill him. In England, Sam Jackson's character meets up with Felix (played by Robert Carlyle) to set up the next deal in England. Then the hit woman shots up everyone at the deal except for the two of them. Later Felix finds out that the hit woman was actually his old girl friend(played by Emily Mortimer). Now they are forced to go and find a new person to sell to. In between that, they have to run from the cops, get past some random skinheads, and get to a football(sorry, soccer) game at the end. The acting is just fine, it doesn't get in the way but its not something that's extra special. That doesn't matter though, all of the jokes work perfectly and it makes for a great comedy. There is plenty of action, and most of it does move the story along and it isn't mindless or boring. The scenes with the skinheads are by far the best, as the "leader" never has a clue as to what's going on, and allays gets punched in the face or humiliated. Definitely worth checking out or at least renting it. You'll love it its the best movie you have never seen. I give it an 8.5 out of 10. For those that have seen it, post what you think in the comments.

Modcast it, hell MOD it all.

0 comments

A new Idea.
I have been listening to a podcast called The Cubicle Escape Pod, the show is great. Basically its these two guys who are starting a new business, and it chronicles what it takes to start out, and they give their listeners plenty of tips on what to do and what not to do when it comes to small business. Recently they changed the direction they are taking their company. They announced something they call the modcast. This is a brilliant idea.
What is a modcast? A modcast in this instance is just like a podcast. The big idea here is that you can edit what you want and don't want to listen to within the show. For example, imagine there is a tech show that you like, however every show has a tip of the day. Perhaps you think these tips are of no use to you, with a modcast you can take that part and only that part out of the show. Perhaps this same show also has a news ticker type segment. If you don't want that edit that out also. Basically you can customize the show based what you want to hear. This could be done on the main site for the podcast, and then you could receive it in a separate rss feed. It could also give the show producers a better insight on what segments of their shows are more popular, and they can really tailor their own show to the audience.
My Idea. Well I think in shows like this and especially in podcasts this will work and it will work well. But I also think that the whole modcast concept can be broadened. One way is with comic books. Plenty of people buy tens and tens of single issue comics from a few companies every month. But the most money goes into the "biggies" Marvel and DC. A customer could go to the Marvel or DC website set up their own subscription account, then they could add only the books that they want from that company. For instance a checklist type page could come up, you check each book you want and at the end of the month, all of your favorite issues for that month get sent to u as a single trade paperback. The price would be a monthly cost, and the more books you want the more it would cost, but it would be easier for companies to keep track of who is buying what, and cheaper for the customer in the long run.
Those are just 2 examples. With the coming of IPtv a viewer could setup the shows they watch and the content within the show as well. This is still only scratching the surface of this idea so if u have anything to add post a comment or e-mail me at hosvos@gmail.com.
Where ever it goes its.. Irreve... Well you get the idea.


Comic Book Podcasts

2 comments

Okay so I like comicbooks, A LOT. Its probobly not cool but oh well I lik'em, and there are a hell of a lot of great stories out there. And I prefer a nice visual reading experience. So any way, the way I got back into comics is by listening to podcasts. All of these guys make everything they talk about really cool and each show has its own spin on it.

#1. Comic Geek Speak: a bunch of guys get together, and just talk comics. They all know there stuff, and they answer all the questions submitted to them. Every month there is a book of the month show and there are a few shows per week. Out of the four this one is the funniest, and they all play off of each other well. They talk about comic writers, artists, and do full reviews on the new comicbook movies.

#2. I Read Comics: great opinions on comics, and the best part is that its a chick this time. She reads comics, reviews them, talks about upcoming books everything you would expect all from a girl. And if your a guy she's got some tips on how to be a "cool geek" like me.(sorta)(kinda)

#3. Comicology Podcast: basically its the knowledge of comics. But in this case the main subject matter is INDIE comics. This is great because there is no way you can get reviews on Indie books other than from a podcast. I have heard some of these reviews, and then loved the comic more than a lot of main stream comics I like. Great stuff

#4. Meanwhile, The Comics Podcast: In this one two guys(one writing his own web comic) talk back and forth about comics, web comics, and recent super hero movies. Best part is that they allays disagree. And its all ways good two have 2 opinions.

Podcasts not your thing? Okay well your missing out. But you can easily find all of these shows on Itunes 4.9 that has podcast support. Or you can click on the ODEO.com link in the sidebar, and search for the podcasts then listen right away. Just try it out, you might like it. If your already comic fan, you'll LOVE these.

A movie made to advertise.

1 comments

A new idea.
I was thinking about this when I first saw batman begins. It was during the previews and I saw the preview for stealth. And just from that I could tell that it would be bad. I thought could all of the major movie production companies partner up and create a cheap movie solely for advertising. If five studios get together they could each pitch in 5 mill to make a decent 25 million dollar movie. But each of these producers gets a commercial in front of the movie for one of their up coming movies, and within the movies they could put ads everywhere. Any product that is seen on screen could be sponsored by some company that is affiliated with those products. Now what kind of movie could you make for 25 million. Well a lot of TV shows are made for 5 mill an episode. So you could get a TV show with an already large fanbase(like firefly), recreate it for the big screen, and it could all be done very cheaply using the same cast and crew.

The most money will have to be for promoting the hell outta the movie. There should be commercials running all the time from each of the contributing studios, and plenty of partnering with outside companies. The hardest part is getting people past the trailer. You make the trailer look 100 times better than the flick itself. Once people go to see it, it doesn't matter if the like it or not, the critics can say whatever they want, as long as there is plenty of advertising people will see this movie. And very few people have to see it and it will pay for itself. On top of that the ads within the movie should more than double the cost of production. AS LONG AS THE MONEY IS THERE FOR ADVERTISING everything else will fall into place.

So its basically a 2 hour commercial made for very cheap and hopfully seen by a lot of people. I know this is kind of spacey but anyone have any opinions. This could work, if it is carefully planned out.
In this case there is no failure, only differed success.


Search Engine Funnies

This is some of the funniest web strips I have ever read. Its probobly because I understand them, and Im not proud to say that I know alot about search engines, or at least the mentalities of the companies. But there are rele some funny ones on here and they up date a few times a week.

This is the basic mentality of all the big webservice companies.
Google will put ads everywhere.
Freez fucker FBI

Great strips keep checking the site, sooo funny. Here is the table of contents.
Oh and at times I find that im worried I might not have the best content on the site for ya, so send me an e-mail at hosvos@gmail.com and tell me what you wann see on the site.


Geoblogger.com

0 comments

Now this is really cool, geobloggers.com is basicly a google maps site. However when you zoom in close to a location you can see pictures from the ground of what you could see there. I posted an image I took of the space shuttle in the Air and Space Museum in Dulles. There are plenty of pics all around DC, and the closer you zoom in the more you see around the country. Ill post a tutorial later, but all you need is a flickr account, greasemonkey, and the willingness to learn. So its rele cool alot like how amazons A9.com map search shows you waht you see on the streets. So startposting your ownstuff, I fore-see a day when there will be a picture on every streetcorner. Again another example of Irriversible Progress.

Why I will never get a girlfriend.

0 comments

This is artical is from some guy prooving he will never get a girlfriend. This is rele just stupid, he wrote this entire artical probobly feeling sorry for himself. This guy needs to go out or something. This isnt even funny. He makes these crazy equations and narrows it down to 18,000 and somthing, and then decides that it will take 67 years of dating before he finds someone that is even remotly compatible.
Why I will never get a girlfriend.


Find free wifi in your area.

0 comments

Thats right free wifi, no more paying your local starbucks, or starbucks'es, now you can find free wifi anywhere around you. Find it here. Just go to the left, select your city and youll find plenty. I found one right accross the street. Now where is my laptop, treo, psp, anything with wifi support.


Would you like to upload now, or later?

0 comments

A new idea. I was creating a website for my mom,(more on that later) when I thought of something rather revolutionary in the world of digital cameras. I use flickr a lot, and I use my digital camera a little too much, so why not combine the two? Why not have a digital camera with built in wifi, and in a few years wimax. Then install some flickr software on there and when your at a hot spot upload your pics right off of your camera. The applications of this would be crazy. No more need for memory cards if you are connected all the time. You could access an unlimited amount of photos right from the web. The cost of using I digital camera would decrees as you wouldn't need a memory card or only need a small one. In a few years all major cities will have wifi hotspots on every street corner, if not wimax. And with flickr you could even share your pics and upload one of your contacts pics directly to your camera. This could be very very simple to implement. There are already cameras with GPS that tag every photo you take with the coordenants. With flicker you take a pic, edit the when, where, with who, and title and immediately share it with the world. Same goes for mobloging, you don't have to bare that crappy cell phone camera resolution any more. So Cannon, Sony, etc., could easily partner with Yahoo and flickr to do this could be out next Christmas if they tried it now. Oh and excuse the crappy photoshop.

Technorati Tag Test

This is just a test, to see how this new user script I got for greasemonkey that will easily allow to add tags to the blog post to make the blog more easily searchable on technorati. Ill describe both later but just FYI.

Technorati = a service that allows for searching within blogs
Greasemonkey = An extention for firefox allowing for user scripts wich can edit websites to suit your own needs.


Firefly, and the upcoming Serenity

0 comments

Well earlier tonight I finished watching the entire run of Joss Whedons Firefly. The 2 hour pilot and the 13 other episodes. I was totally moved by it and im very very excited for the upcoming movie Serenity. For those that dont know about Firefly it is.. to put simply, a western set 500 years in the future. As it is described by its creators its a perfect blending of the past and the future to settle somewhere in the middle, and it feels very current and real. However if anything, Firefly is NOT to be put simply, it was origannly planned out as a space "drama". Each charecter is surprisingly real, and they all play off of each other so well. The plot is amazing and goes very deep(that is for the first 15 episodes). They could have taken it in so many directions, that'll be something to look for in the movie on September 30th. The writing is superb(who am I to judge I just like it) and in every episode there was at least one or two Badass "Indy" moments. That is when Indian Jones shoots the guy twirling his sowrds. You definatly gotta buy the DVD, or if you allready have it, buy one for someone who doesnt. According to IMDB the movie was produced for around 50 mill, and it should be able get double and hopfully triple that at the boxoffice. I have a feeling that it will(to those who dont know it) come outta nowhere and surprise millions of people. It cant fail the fanbase is just too big, and these hardcore fans will do anything to promote this movie.
There no FAILURE only DEFERRED SUCESS. (damn this is turning into a play on words kina blog)

Flickr, and why you should use it.

0 comments

I have plenty of friends that like too share their photos online with other friends. There are plenty of services out there, but people cant see that the best one is flickr. UI is great, the speed of uploads, and searches is great but young people like my self are seem not to know or care and are reluctant to switch. You may have noticed on my sidebar I have added my flickr badge. Those are images from my flickr account, feel free to click on it and post comments. Bottom line in online photo sharing, Flickr = the best, everything else = dont use it.

Also FYI I will keep adding things to the side bar and describe them later on.



I have started an xmail hard drive for this blog. Xmail is a service that allows you to use the webspace given from Gmail (a whopping 2.5 gigs) and using it to host files online so everyone can have access to them from anywhere with an internet connection. You will need the address and password to get into it.

Address = davidb.blog@gmail.com
Password = people157

Please do not delete anything that is there and feel free to add what ever you wish. Images, Videos, Audio, or anything else. Ill also post a link on the side bar. Which I'm starting to think that I will need a new template with 3 columns, because I have a lot that I want to show on the sides of my posts.
One more thing if you don't have G-mail e-mail me for an invite at hosvos@gmail.com. Enjoy
and don't delete, IRREVERSIBLY PROGRESS


Pic of the Day

Thow this is called the Pic of the Day, i dont think that it will be daily. Ill upload a pic and describe it, thats all.
This was durring nap time at work(ill explain later), me and a friend were switching our mem cards out of my camera and into his PSP and taking pic's Gotta Love those Pro Duos



So we all know (well those of us that are rather tech savvy) that Google owns bucks.google.com. They have said that they are not competing with paypal, but I'm pretty sure this will be a way to electronically transfer money. Not from user to user. But from user to seller(Amazon, New Egg, FROOGLE). You enter all of your money information, and this will enable 1 click purchases online. Well 2 click after conformation.

Now why is Google putting out this service, and putting it out for free? THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE BUY. surely Google will index all of our purchases and then they can make plenty of money on 2 fronts.

First since they know what we like based not only on what we buy but also on our searches, and e-mails, they will be able to advertise on our pages for products that we want based on how we do things online(we all remember web acculturateor) No matter what page your on google ads will be specific to YOU and not just what is on that particular page, as long as your logged into your google account.
Second online shopping sites will pay google for information on us. NO NOTHING SPECIFIC. google will know for example, the average age group that purchases a product. This can be sold to companies so they know who to market to. Another example, incomes of a person buying an item. This way companies can tell what to price a certain item and who they are pricing it for.

Now why would you use google bucks? They will probably give you a list of features like a better product search through froogle, a way to easily search for the best prices, and a suggestion for products you might like.

While I was writing this I think I figured out googles path and where they are going in the future.

GOOGLE WILL ADVANCE ITS COMPANY IN ANY WAY THAT GIVES THEM THE ABILITY TO TRACK AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THEIR USERS AND TO MAKE THE INTERNET BETTER AND EASIER FOR THEM.
Like a fool I will probobly follow google to any length. They have accomplished everything they have attempted(ok ill forgive them for GWA) and they are only moving forward. You could say they are IRREVERSIBLY PROGRESSING.


Wow, what a little html can do...

So I have basicly figured out how everything works "htmlwise" on blogger. My site will only continue to look pretier and pretier. And I just posted all of my digg news. I will tray to post more on digg.com for the sake of my ranking on dig, and to make sure it plays out nicly on this site. I culd proboly even add a diffrent RSS feed and then you could enjoy the news from somone elses blog on my blog.... hmmm thats intresting.

So if you all with just stick around this shindigg is only going to get better and better. For my next plan of ATTACK... does anyone know if there is a script I can add to the html to show what music I have been playing in itunes... ill look that up but i appreciate all help.
Also I have only show this blog to 2 people, both of them named Camron. :)
By the way this is IMO the better alternative to myspace.com, MS to me seems kina cheesy and maby this makes me seem dorkier but oh well.

OH i just got an idea.
Stick Around
