So Long Mac Ads…

JoeVaughn — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 00:24:50 +0000

Its become a sad day here at mlgnn.com. As rumored apparently per Justin Long “the Mac” in the Mac ads, they are coming to an end. The 30 second TV ads were popular in 2006 when they first launched in the MAC vs PC war. Justin is quoted as saying,”You know, I think they might be done. In fact, I heard from John, I think they’re going to move on. I can’t say definitively, which is sad, because not only am I going to miss doing them, but also working with John.”

The ads have received a number of awards, and have also pissed off a number of Windows users (who probably like Star Trek as well). The ads stared Justin Long as the MAC and John Hodgman as the PC. There are currently 66 televisions commercials so far. I can only hope maybe they’ll so a farewell commercial. If you use a PC or Mac these commercial are hilarious even if they are a bit inaccurate. So long John, and Justin. You will be missed…

Oh PC...

Roger L. Easton got in…

JoeVaughn — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 00:11:24 +0000

Roger L .Easton Genius in Satellite telemetry and timing has finally been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Easton helped develop the MINITRACK the worlds first satellite tacking system, which then turned in to TIMATION. The TIMATION (time navagation) was used to launch 4 experimental satellite tracking system in the 1960′s and 1970′s. The last satellite launched during TIMATION was the first satellite to transmit GPS signals back to us. The technology Easton implemented in his GPS satellites, are still used today. It also helped verify Einsteins theory of relativity. Eaton did eventually retired from the official lab, but he did find time to run for Governor in 1986

“His leap in vision led to the United States’ first satellite tracking network and patent of synchronized timing of spacecraft which became the fundamental basis for GPS.” – Someone…

Now if they let the guy who created the Snuggie in, thats it for that place. Boom

Google Says F’ Apple! Flash is Back

JoeVaughn — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 05:49:13 +0000

What about Adobe? That’s what people who like flash videos, and games are screaming at Apple. Apple is openly non-supportive of any Flash types online, and feel that’s its a “dying” technology as Steve Jobs stated earlier this year. Company’s have been scrambling to conform to Apples strict standards and not using this dying technology. Videos are being re-formatted, advertisements are re-coded, and everyone’s waiting to see the iPad (that’s what all this craziness is for). The HTML5 community has been trying to get a piece of the action and I think we’ll be seeing more via Apple. However a little bug has pop its head up and yelled HEY!. That bug is called Google.

Google’s Chrome OS with not only support flash its built in. There is no need to update as its an intricate part of the platform. Google believes that Flash is a living technology and will continue to grow, and see’s no reason to kill it now. I wonder if that’s why Job and Schmidt had lunch to compare note on how there going to not have a monopoly and still dominate the industry (secretly). Steve Ballmer would have showed up but he was busy running around the block yelling about Microsoft. We’ll see how this plays out. It’s going to become a friendly version of Google vs Apple.

PS3 Update 3.21 Puts the Knife in and Twists…

JoeVaughn — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 06:14:34 +0000

Sony Playstation 3 will discontinue its functionality of allowing the use of open source operating systems on the older PS3 model (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/03/28/ps3-firmware-v3-21-update/). This feature was removed from the PS3 slim version, but has remained on the older PS3 and apparently has never served as a security problem until now.

So what? Who needs the other operating systems? Well you do! What if you got a bug up your ass to install Yellow Dog, or Fedora and wanted to expand your computer/gaming experience. Why does Sony gives us the option to use their platform for things other than gaming and watching blu-rays, then just strong arms us into taking it away.

If you choose not to update, it comes an unreasonable price. You LOSE the :
•    Ability to sign in to PlayStation Network and use network features that require signing in to PlayStation Network, such as online features of PS3 games and chat
•    Playback of PS3 software titles or Blu-ray Disc videos that require PS3 system software version 3.21 or later
•    Playback of copyright-protected videos that are stored on a media server (when DTCP-IP is enabled under Settings)
•    Use of new features and improvements that are available on PS3 system software 3.21 or later

Yeah I’m not sure about you, but for me not to be able to watch Blu-Ray discs, or go online and chat is a little suspicious. Why has Sony stuck the knife in and twisted it? Well it may be that in January all the leaks about a PS3 hack. I hope that hack comes out soon in its entirety and I hope they hack the PS3 fucking hard. I can get a Blu-Ray player for $99. The fun I could have screwing Sony for is priceless. They still owe me for blocking my PSP for going online due to its modification. Hey Sony we’re gunnin’ for you next…

Revenge is best served cold, with a side of hot pants.

Japanese Robot Teaches Kids…

JoeVaughn — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 06:37:19 +0000

Still obsessed with Japanese robots. I know I am. I wish I could buy them like those handy Japanese panty vending machines. Um and continuing on … Researchers collaborating from the Nippon Institute of Technology, Harada Vehicle Design, ZMP and ZNUG Design have just taken the wraps off another addition to the crew. The newest version of the e-NUVO walk bot stands about 4 feet tall, making it roughly the size of an elementary school aged child, and will be incorporated into classes to teach children about humanoid robots in a hands-on environment.

Ah leave it up to the Japanese to have a robots that’s hands on with kids. Here in America that robot would get 15 for 5…

FireHack Screen Tilt

JoeVaughn — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 05:05:12 +0000

So Firefox, has been pretty busy with it own hacks with version 3.6/3.7. One of the newest hacks is a tilt hack API code for the web browser. If the machine has machine orientation information available, it will utilize it. What does this mean. It means if you tilt your laptop, and the machine has the capability, the website on the screen will tilt as well. This is normally reserved to laptop just because of there portability, and capability to be picked up, but a modded PC would be able to do this as well.

Using the API is very simple. All you have to do is add a simple event listener:

window.addEventListener(“MozOrientation”, function(e) {
/* 3 values: e.x, e.y, e.z */
}, true);

This was originally built to be used on mobile phones, but they ported the code to laptops, and it worked there too.
They have added support for Macs, and PC, also Linux run systems as well, so no one is in the dark with this little gem.

Italians Will Put A Spider in Your…

JoeVaughn — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:26:18 +0000

So the Italians have come up with an ingenious design. A Spider robot that crawls around your butt. What? Your probably asking yourself whether they should be allowed to have any sort of modern technology if this is how theyre going to waste it. Hold on though, this is a good thing. The Spider isnt actually a Spider, its a tiny robot that the patient
swallows, that can be remote controlled by the doctors one it its the lower intestines. The robot does have a camera, so the doctors dont have to guess when it gets there.

This little robot, does have legs that enable it to move back and forth which gives it the advantage of not being endoscopes for colonoscopy procedures , which some people refuse treatment because they find that to be a bit invasive. This way the spider can do the work from inside, and the patient can relax.

The spider pill has not been tested on humans yet, however the trials on pigs are going well. There is no release date on this, probably in about a year the scientists say, but Im sure if you see a line of old men out side of a doctors clinic, theyve either got the spider pill, or the doctor hired topless dancers, to work inside the clinic as topless dancers.

Also before I let you go, your probably wondering what happens after there done with the looking and crawling, and the what not. Well the spider pill makes the grandest of exits, naturally of course.
