I still don’t understand the big deal with Netflix

I don’t get what’s going on here. Netflix raises it rates and people lose their pants. What for? What company hasn’t raised their prices over the last couple years? Considering the fee Netflix has to pay it’s amazing they haven’t raised their prices more frequently and by even more. I think splitting streaming and DVDs into two businesses is a dumb idea, but complaining about a price hike of a couple dollars a month is stupid. Bloody hell, people spend more money on Starbucks, Energy drinks and freaking doughnuts in a week than the price went up per month. Quit your damn whining.

The Tablet, what is it good for?

I came across an article, I forget the link, that says the iPad is boring and doesn’t serve to increase productivity in the slightest. Its basic intent is to bleed you dry one app purchase at a time. A few interesting points and some of them are valid. There is no doubt the iPad was built to make money off apps. Without apps the iPad doesn’t do anything. But, is that really a problem? Sure, when you turn on the iPad it stares back at you blankly. You can look at the time and check what day it is. Honestly, I wish Windows was so boring and scaled down. I wish I could install Windows for the first time into just a few megs of space and go to an app store so I could download and use only the apps I really wanted instead of having a bloated OS that takes up gigs of space and still doesn’t do […]

Sword & Poker – The Finale!

After a thousand hands of poker through 40 levels over the course of several months, I finally finished Sword & Poker. I finally made it to the end and defeated the End of Chaos. We went toe to toe and I when I saw he had 666 hit points I had a small accident in my pants. But, we traded blows and I survived with just 12 hit points intact. That was one hell of a game and I’ve been playing it for nearly two months now. I bought it for the iPod Touch when it originally came out and though it was a great blend of RPG and Poker. I started playing it again on the iPad and it actually plays better there than on the iPod. I wish there was an a true iPad version, but this works nicely. Awesome game though. I can’t believe I’ve finally been victorious.
