Just in case you have been living under a rock and have not heard it has been a bad year for corn. Corn likes water not too much and not too little. In my part of the country here in South Carolina we have had hardly any water. Well at least not in Ware Shoals. This is the second year without much summer rain. We seem to have GREAT springs but not much rain in the summer.

Sony loses 3.3 billion on the playstation 3 game console

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

I did not know sony would take such a hit. It just shows how much money a company can lose and still keep fighting. 3.3 billion is a lot of money to lose. I have read it is common to lose money on the console itself and then make it up on the games. Microsoft I think also took a nice sized hit on the Xbox 360 game console. But Microsofts game console did not cost them to lose this much that I know of.

I still find it hard to believe 3.3 billion.

The Playstation 3 game console is very nice and has great graphics. But even at 60-70+ bucks retail price for each game(it varies) can they make up 3.3 billion that the Playstation 3 console lost and then turn a profit? Sony is a bit worried and so are investors. Maybe Sony should have waited to release the Playstation 3 when the costs of the CPU and graphics cards that go into it were cheaper.


Be sure and comment if you like the post or have anything to say.



Fast Dial a Firefox extension to speed up bookmark usage

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

I dont know about you but I have a LOT of bookmarks. I did finally learn you can use the scroller in the center of your mouse to speed up the process of going down the bookmarks list. A lot of them I do not use often or even need them(its time to go through them and clean up my list) but for the ones I do they are all mixed up.

Top 10 reasons to use Firefox over Internet Explorer as your main browser

Top 10 reasons you should use Firefox over Internet Explorer

Firefox is a amazing browser. I managed to find it during its early days, before even version 1.0.
I really liked the tabbed browsing and since I had dial up this really helped to speed up my browsing. Firefox was small then and did not have much market
share. It still may not have much today but Microsoft is finally paying some attention to the little browser.

Back a couple of years ago when I started to use it
Microsoft said it had no intentions to ever release a new version of Internet Explorer. When firefox started gaining market share and a lot of attention they wised up
and released IE 7 and it also had tabs.

Still IE 7 does not have many features of firefox and that brings me into reason number 1 on my list:

Musical talent

Sticking with my theme here I want to show you all something unique. Or rather amazing, these people can really play! I came across these videos on youtube and I was just amazed. I know that someone does make this music but for a regular person to copy it so well and not even on the same type of instrument is what is amazing. (more…)

Burried in a pringles can

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

“Dr. Fredric J. Baur was so proud of having designed the container for Pringles potato crisps that he asked his family to bury him in one.”(http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080531/NEWS0104/805310357/1060/NEWS01)

Its a sorta funny story. The guy who came up with ways to package and the pringles can itself had his remains cremated and some of the ashes put in a pringles can. Its what he wanted.
