When digg first came out, I loved it, but as it became more popular, more assholes joined with the sole intent of just making the front page. I haven’t seen a good innovative tech article on the front page is the last year! It’s just a bunch of bullshit that is over a year old. The same stories hit the front page two or three times. Now don’t get me wrong, digg is still by far the best but I think it is straying from it’s original goal. Technology, Not this BS politics and damn stories you found that are from two years I ago. However, The pictures section is a plus. I want content to make it to the front page cause it is recent and innovative, not slightly interesting and old. I guess I’m just longing for the good ol’ days. I think digg needs to suck it up ban people who suck and are a drag. It’s your website Kevin, make after your own image, not their’s. I guess I’ll have to take what I can get though, I think it would be a great idea to get a music category up and running on digg, it would be a great way for independents to spread their music.

1.)Dealing with important files? Try giving FileVault a try. It automatically encrypts and decrypts your files on the fly when you use them. Head into System Preferences -> Security -> FileVault to activate it.

2.)Got a laptop? Wanna know a little more about your battery life? Go to: Apple Menu -> About this Mac, then click on more info. This will bring up the System Profiler. Then select Hardware from the list on the left, then choose the power sub menu. Once there, scroll to the bottom to view detailed results. You will be able to see such things as Cycle count(number of times charged and discharged) Battery health,Manufacturer, and Voltage.

3.) Having some problems with your mac? Try zapping your P-Ram, you would be surprised what it can do. apple-option-p-r on start up.

We have pay per everything these days. Pay per view movies, Cell phones, and now the internet. And with all of them, it’s usually not cheap. Time Warner is currently testing out this service in selected areas of Texas. 5 10 20 and 40GB of bandwidth are your options. And were guessing it’s not gonna be cheap for anyone. If this were to happen it would be a huge hit to all streaming services such as last.fm and now iTunes movie service. While this isn’t anything thats brand new; Bell Comm. of Canada is currently using a pay per gig system similar to the one here. It doesn’t seem to be catching on. To me, this seems to be a huge step backwards and reminds me of the Dial-up era.( Limited use at ridiculously high prices)

Why? cause it’s 100% true and then you can tell people you have the internets on your computer. Come on, Its a nice project to keep you from the pron. Here it is. right here! (3.2GB BEFORE decompress)

YouTube may be the best-known mainstream video-hosting site on the Web, but it’s certainly not winning any awards for the visual quality of its content. YouTube’s creators have said higher-resolution videos are on the way, but until then, there are a handful of other services that do a much better job at making your uploaded video look a little less Webby.
The four sites are: Viddler, Vimeo, Facebook, and Veoh. All let you add files in excess of 200MB
-Viddler was the best of breed for its interface, which is all business. It lets you pick your video and start uploading before filling out any forms. When it’s actually time to fill it in, tagging and categorization are simple and intuitive.
-Vimeo’s uploader was a cinch to use. You can start uploading your video file without even having to give it a name.
-Facebook. Very easy to get going, unless you’ve got a lot of people in the video. Facebook’s prowess over the others is that you can tag people who are in it, which doesn’t take long, using the built-in search-as-you-type box. It also lets you start uploading before filling anything out
-Veoh. Simple setup, though like others, you have to do the naming, tagging, and categorization before beginning the upload.

Well, not many of you may know this but I was forced to sell my Macbook Pro about a month ago after I quit my old job. Since then I found an old PC in my basement and loaded Mint (a Linux distro)on it to use in the mean time. Thats a big reason the site has been slow on reviews and mac based stuff. But thankfully I got another job a few days ago thus I was able to purchase a new MBP online last night. Sooo.., as soon I get that expect to see some more unique and in-depth reviews on some of the best mac software.

Also, I took the leap over at bux.to and bought 15 referred members for $17 dollars. But it seems I got a good bunch cause I’m brining in about $4 a day now. That might not sound like much but it pays the cell phone bill and that makes me more then happy. If you head on over now and put my down as a referrer you get some extra cash to get you started.

Well, if it’s not your thing and you do own an HDTV, Your gonna wanna check out the Vudu for sure. A 250GB HDD, and the usual compilation of connections(component,HDMI,S-video,RCA,Coaxial,optical) as well as an RF antenna make for a pretty nice box. It supports all the current resolutions 480i through 1080p. A $295 price point isn’t to bad but when lacking wireless and no option for export. Its kinda steep. But all in all, not bad. Head on over to vudu.com for more info.

Divx Connected- DivX Connected is a new platform for delivering high-quality digital media (video, music and photos), online services and other content from the PC to the TV over a wired or wireless home network.

With a DivX Connected device nestled in your living room, you can easily stream high-quality media from your PC and the Internet directly to your TV. If it helps, you can think of it as an invisible umbilical cord connecting your TV to the largest repository of content in the world via the Internet, not to mention the most important content in the world in the form of your home movies and other personal media from your hard drive.

My favorite thing so far is the plugins you can get for it. For example, there is a Google Maps plugin and a Flickr Plugin to browse and manage photos. And as far as compatibility goes you won’t be disappointed: Supported Media Formats
DivX* Xvid with MP3 or PCM audio* WMV9 (transcoded on PC)* MP3 (up to 320kbps)* MP3 Playlist*WMA (transcoded on PC)* JPEG (grayscale, RGB & YCbCy only)* JPEG 2000* BMP (non-compressed)

Even if it is lacking Mpeg4 and H.264 support, it is a step in the right direction. Head on over to Divx.com/connected for more details
