Now days cable networks,IP tv providers and such try to pack in as many channels as possible. The issue is many of those channels have content that most users don’t care about… im talking about all the niche channels.

I found a interesting clip when watching the third episode of Futurama that fits this situation well. Sadly tv will hit that many channels in time. Here is the clip:

Ever since the whole RFID system was invented one of the target goals was tracking product point to point… It has gone alot farther now days. These rfid tags are on nearly every package you buy now days. Mainly for in store tracking and security… If they didnt disable them so you could go through the security checkpoints its in theroy possible to track a product right to the home with the appropriate antenna/radio system in place ( Just think cell towers ). I pull the tags off of everythign I get and destroy them as a general pratice.

Whats your thoughts on this new high-tech form of product tracking?

I can remmeber back to a day when cds were not affordable for the average person let alone cd burners. I never thought id have more cds than floppy disks ( I still got a box of them). Over the years i have noticed my collection of toss cds/dvds has grown to be nearly as large as my box of floppies. One thing that makes me wonder is are disposeable burnable discs really that good for the enviroment.

This picture is just the result of my last few disc spindle cleanups

Those are just a small amount of them. I’ve toss far more than that in the last many years. Post pics to your disc waste in the comments… share with the world

Ever since i first saw the announcement fro Google’s entrance into the browser war (market) i was curious about how well it would actualy run. Overall I found it to be faster, pretty stable for a beta, nice simplistic interface.  I am currently using it as default browser at the current time to give it a true test.

I know many of you will say “Do we really need another browser?” this will answer that quiestion:

I will be posting a more complete review after i give it a good period of use time… don’t want to missjudge something because it was nto given a full chance.
