Oh Snap, "Nerd" news Sept. 22

in , , ,
I'm a big PC gamer and I just read  a story from techradar.com saying the Intel, what that's right INTEL's new CPU maybe the new wave in GPU/CPU video gaming. What does that mean for you and me, nothing RIGHT NOW but in a few years no more Nvidia, or AMD GPU war? Sure I'll have to buy all new Computer again, but with computer prices dropping that shouldn't be a problem, (unless the economy drops too, or I can't find a job in a week!) So anywho read more here and let me know what you think! Thanks techradar.com!!

PS3 and DRM to things that are not great together!

I'm so screwed I have the 40gig PS3, I bought it for the Blu-ray, and now I was thinking about getting a bigger HD for it. Now I can't because I didn't read the fine print again. That's if I want to buy a video fron their lovely PS3 video store before I upgrade I could lose it because and I quote.

" If you perform any of the following operations after backing up, copyright-protected video files in the backup data may not restore correctly.

  • Format the hard disk

  • Restore the PS3™ system

  • Move copyright-protected video

  • Download copyright-protected video

  • Play copyright-protected video that has a time restriction for the first time"


Well there you have it I guess that means now movie downloads till my new drive and I better make it a big one so I don't have to back up too many times. Now Sony says you can call them up and fix this problem, but should I have to? I hope they get this fixed, just like they need to fix the 40gig PS3 playing PS3 games with software emutaltion. (It can be done I know it!) Check it out here at engadget.com

Oh Snap Beer review #2 Pyraimd Apricot Ale!!!

in ,
I must say I'm like most men if the beer has fruit in it it must go, but my wife has says try it you might like it so...I tried it and ....I liked it. I didn't feel like a girl for drinking it the fruity flavor wasn't so strong i thought I was having a Apricot shake with beer in it. I'll say this too who the hell thought an Apricot would taste good in a ale, not me.. so this my start me rethinking my whole fruity beer thing. I know some will make me wish I had a lolly pop, but others may match the taste and enjoyment I got for this beer. I know this beer will make a home in my house from now on. Mostly this will be my while playing WOW (World of Warcraft) beer, for my sureal moments of bless while killing tons of NPC's or doing 25 man Raid where I have one job to do Tank the boss. Sorry nerd speak for a second....(lvl 70 Pally Tank with 2 T6 pieces of armor and only on blue)... ok I'm back in the real world. Anywho I give Pyramid Apricot Ale an "Oh Snap will get drunk and laid....and she won't be pretty" or a A.

Oh Snap jetpacks almost real!!

in ,
In this test of the Martin Jet pack you can see they are a little worried about it getting too far away. This GAS powered jetpack could fly for 40 minutes on a tank of GAS! At 100k I'm not sure who would pay for this.I mean the cost of GAS right now, ah I'll walk and make the buzzing sound with my mouth! I still have hopes that one day I'll have one of my own, only a fews steps away, but still a dream!!

Oh Snap Star Wars to be released In 3-D

in , ,
I love Star Wars like any other nerd. I'd like to see all the Movies in blu-ray. I'd like to have a 24ct. gold limited edtion Darth Vader lightsaber. I'm just not sure I'd be ok with the movies in 3-D. Unless "Joruney to the Center of the Earth" made tons of money, I don't think this is a good Idea. I know George will find a way'anyway to get his money back but, didn't he see "Jaws 3-D" The only time I've seen 3-D work, and work good was at Disney and they make magic happen!!

So until I can have that good of 3-D at home just get my movies on blu-ray, Kill Jar-Jar, and put bigger breasts on Padame!!

Cow enema Cow farts, really!!

The power of poo, that's right Cow dung can power a house for months. They are also trying to finds out if Cow farts are causing some of the greenhouse effects. I guess if this will save me from paying $200 bucks I can live with a shit smell, all the time, in very thing, ewww maybe not!! No poo power for me!!

But for some the Idea is too good to pass (Gas) up here is a diagram to prove the system and how it will not smell. (My Ass!!)

Oh Snap I can put ads on my pits!!

Look Mom my pits Look Mom my pits

Okay, once again if they can put an ad there they will. "Right Guard" has come up with "pitvertising" seen in this picture. So hey you get to a bar your talk and for no reason you lift up your arms and your friends watch your pit. Once again this will catch on like commercial tattoos, rent my head for space now becomes rent my pit for space. Atleast these ads are not on the skin and come with a video!!

Oh Snap, Can't make these up!!

Getting my money one way or another! Getting my money one way or another!

From Jail time to prime time I give my man daps he went from robbing Micky D's to rapping for them...atleast to win a contest. Story here if you have dream keep working at, if you went the wrong path to get there maybe they'll give you a second chance!! Here's the story from our friends at www.techcrunch.com

Well, here’s something that’s so ridiculous it couldn’t be made up. McDonald’s teamed up with MySpace to create a new jingle for the 40th anniversary of the Big Mac. The original song (two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce…) was created back in 1974. Over 1,000 user created songs and videos were submitted - the winner’s jingle becomes the official Big Mac song and will be featured in a McDonald’s Big Mac TV commercial.

Enter 29 year old Tamien Bain, who held up a McDonald’s at gunpoint when he was 14, was convicted as an adult and served 12 years in prison. He’s also one of the five finalists in the jingle competition (no. 4, the guy with the white tshirt and baseball cap).

The finalists were selected by a panel of judges. Apparently someone didn’t do a background check before making the final decisions. Or perhaps they did a background check and this is a publicity stunt. Either way, Bain has reportedly hired a PR person and is making the most of the contest.

I can’t wait to see the commercial, because he’s definitely going to win. Here’s his video submission:

Oh Snap lawn work....my yard is a dust bowl!!

in ,
Hey, It's Alan Wade "the BB gun guy" (damn Red Star) giving you another look at my lawn! So I'm in Texas an it's going to be about 100 degrees today so I decide to hurry up and cut my lawn before it gets too hot. ( Hot like the African sun, I've got 4 window A/C units and I still get hot in the house! All on high and with fans in front of them blowing cold air around the room,I hope!) I think it's only rained once since I got from my vacation, two weeks ago! My yard has more weeds in it than grass. It's so bad that if I fart a small flame shoots out my ass!

So here's a few tips to beating the heat and not dieing of heat stroke.

  1. Lots of water and after that, lots of cold beer!

  2. Don't water the lawn, or pee in it!

  3. After you done at a shower, but not a bath you'll have grass chunks all over!

  4. Now that you cut some weeds go smoke some!!

  5. Pay someone else to finish the lawn, cuz damn you don't need to be in the heat!

  6. Oh Snap, remember to move your grill ( not the one in your mouth, but take that out too before cutting grass) nothing worst than cutting the yarn and looking up to see your grill about to get knocked down!


I hope that helped you live though a hot lawn!

Oh Snap....I'm Out!!

Oh Snap I got a bricked Treo 750!!

in ,
Oh Snap it's bricked!! Oh Snap it's bricked!!

So around the 4th of July I get a Palm Treo 750, my brother works for AT&T I got a deal. I've used it for about a week it's great I can send texts easy. The keypad for me is very responsive. The Windows Mobile 6 interface is ok works good with this smartphone. The only problem I have is that during the second week of use I could use the touch pad with my stylus. So I surf the forums to see if there is an update or quick fix. Come to find out this is a common problem that Palm has no intention of fixing. Seems that with a certain few Treos heat causes a problem with te touch screen ,causing it not to work. I know that the touch screen isn't totally gone because the keypad lights up when tapped but it seems it just doesn't know what to do with the info. Some suggests I got from the forums were to stick the Treo in the fridge. So I did and it worked for a few minutes. Some suggested a Hard reboot, now it's stuck at the "Align Screen"!! Any-who this one will be going back on warranty. I'll let you all know if the "new" one works better or just the same!!
