Have you ever thought to yourself, “what would you do without the Internet?”?  I have and it still scares me every-time.  I then thought to myself, what has the Internet killed over the years.  I came up with my list of items i feel the Internet has killed.  Feel free to comment with your own additions as well.

Newspapers - All you have to do is look into how many newspapers have shut down over the last few years and that one explains a lot.  I am not even sure when the last time was that I actually read a newspaper.

Video Rental stores- Good old Netflix has basically shut down 90%+ of all the Hollywood/Blockbuster stores and my guess is 99% of all Mom/Pop video rental stores.

Phone books - Do they even make these anymore?  To my surprise, yes.

Dating - I know that dating is not dead so to speak but because of the Internet you can scour the Earth for the “perfect” mate instead of going to the local bar/club/health club.  I mean people even break up using the Internet anymore.

Checks - The old saying, “the checks in the mail”, has almost gone away thanks to bill pay and online banking in general.

US Postal Service- The USPS has not officially died but we are close thanks to folks sending emails and using IM and texting.

There are so many other things that could be listed so start adding to this list as you please.

Everyone is aware that MS launched Windows 7 and it has shattered records everywhere.  It has even forced China to tell MS to stop sales of XP.  I can tell you that Windows 7 rocks and it rocks hard.  The only times I have seen it crash is when I force a serious crash on the system for testing purposes.  Recently though, the MS Store in Mission Viejo, CA had some employees break out into line dancing…to the Black Eyed Peas.  I personally like the Black Eyed Peas, but to use them for line dancing…weird.  I think this is a funny video and it shows that these employees love their job, but is this getting to the point of trying to be like others???  Either way, I hope they keep it up and enjoy what they do for a living.

Everyone knows my love for music and my love for the talented musicians.  I have been meaning to add these videos but it has been a bit crazy lately.  I first heard DubFX back in early 2008 and he has got some skills to say the least.  He is most famous for his solo songs on the street with no music other than himself mixing himself.  If that makes no sense, it’s okay.  DubFX makes his own music with his mouth and mixes it live in front of your eyes.  Below is a couple of his videos of his magic.  Enjoy.

I am not a Star Trek fan so to speak but will watch the new movie I suppose.  I am however a Star Wars fan and once I saw this video I actually laughed.  It is actually pretty good and brings back memories of Troopers.

Okay, I have to admit I was not sure about the iPhone from day 1.  As of last week you can now catalog me as a new iPhone user and I am very happy.  It is amazing to get a phone and have it do what they claim it does.  Have it goes as fast as they claim it goes.  Be as easy to use as they say it is.  Folks, bottom line is this…this phone is fast, sleek, awesome, fun and works beautiful!  My e-mail flies…my websites open fast and you can view them…sorry Windows Mobile, I have gone to the other side.  Except I still run my Windows XP and Windows 7 for the desktops and laptops.

I know, boring post.  :-(  Sorry for the lack of posts folks but it has been crazy lately.  We will get back on it very soon.  If you really want some material, give us some.

I can admit, I am a Star Wars freak…to a point.  I do not dress up but I can enjoy the John Williams classic’s on my MP3 player.  Then it hit me, how many geeks of the World are big time Star Wars fans?  A simple Google search will assure me that I am not a freak but more of a moderate Lucas fan.  I did however find these nice little tributes to the Imperial March. Long live the World of Lucas.

Sorry everyone, I was very bored this evening and could not resist a little Geekism.

I own 2 of the 30GB Zune players and as of yesterday morning they are both dead and frozen on the Zune splash screen.  Why?  Because for some reason you could not figure out how to make an MP3 player deal with 366 days in a year.  Are you kidding me with this crap.  And your answer to all of us is “Customers with 30gb Zune devices may experience issues when booting their Zune hardware.  We’re aware of the problem and are working to correct it.  The Zune Social might be slow or inaccessible. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!”…ISSUES?!?  The issue is there is no fix to this and we are supposed to just sit down and go about our lives while you figure out what you did.  I guess I will be going to Best Buy today to exchange them for something other than a MS player.  And you wonder why people hate you as much as they do.  I live and die by MS everyday and when I called you all I get is some dumb ass Indian from India saying it is a known issue and we are sorry.  Thanks for blowing sand in my face you f**king sand monkeys!

Microsoft Corp., maker of the Zune, said a bug in the internal clock driver, related to the way the device handles a leap year, caused the malfunction in older Zune 30GB models.

Matt Akers of the Zune Product Team wrote Wednesday on Zune.net that the problem should resolve itself after 7 a.m. ET Thursday. The Zune support page says users should allow the internal battery to fully drain, then recharge by connecting the Zune to a computer or AC power after noon GMT (7 a.m. ET) on New Year’s Day.

Guess what Matt Akers, I still have 2 30GB players that are dead as Windows ME…oh wait, Windows ME actually booted up unlike my MP3 players.

Microsoft, I am very disappointed in this.  This is very sad and pretty much like the old days.
