weekend

I sure wish there were fun games to play right now. the weather just does not want to get warm it seems like. I wrote htc an email yesterday regarding an issue surrounding the touchscreens they use. i received a reply but it was nothing special and didnt really answer anything. oh well i hope it can be at least adjusted with a software update possibly. we will have to wait and see ;/

sick still

I can't seem to get over this stupid allergy or half sickness or whatever the hell it is this time. My left ear will not open all the way and has been like that for over a week and it is REALLY annoying. I've been taking some antibiotics and I think I'm almost recovered but it sure is lingering it feels like. I haven't been able to find any good things to watch lately and there are no games out really that I'm interested in playing as well. I did get a few new games on the N1 and with the Android NDK R3 released the games are only going to get better. I can't wait to see what happens this year with the platform.

Apple vs. HTC: Would someone please put an end to this shit ass company?

I am seriously furious about this shit in regards to Apple suing HTC. These people at this company have been sue happy since the early 80s and have never had a problem copying, borrowing or TAKING ideas from other companies and using it in their products. They attack others with stupid patent lawsuits and in reality all they're doing is damaging consumer choice. That's one of the things Apple is trying for; they don't want consumer choice. They don't even want their own users to have a choice in what they use, and they have somehow convinced their loyal followers to actually believe this way more and more. A perfect example is the Adobe Flash issue on the iPad. Every excuse in the book can be used but at the end of the day the consumer should have a choice if they want to use Flash or not. This is just one example. The people continuing to support Apple's company and their products are only damaging good competition and innovation that truly ends up benefiting the customer themselves. I can only hope tons of these stupid claims are thrown out and that nothing much comes of it. The Nokia vs. Apple lawsuit is still pending and no words have been heard about it for quite some time so I truly hope this doesn't turn out to be the same way. That's about all I can say about this situation for now, Steve Jobs, Apple as a company and pretty much all of their employees make me sick to my stomach at this point. It's a real shame that computer related technology has ended up the way it has turned out. This may sound like a one sided post but I really have disliked Apple for a long time for various justified reasons. I'll link this engadget article just so anyone interested can see the absolutely horrifying and stupid patents they have been awarded by the STUPID USPTO.

bleh

I decided to order a Logitech Harmony One over the weekend and chose the Amazon Super Saver shipping method. I didn't realize at the time that the estimated ship date was going to be MARCH 8TH. Unbelievable that something can possible take that long. I finished Bioshock 2 over the weekend as well, wasn't nearly as fun as the first one I thought anyway. I can't wait for spring to arrive, the cold weather is really getting to me at this point. It appears the Nexus One will be arriving to both Verizon and ATT shortly which is pretty exciting. The next few days are going to be really busy with another large job that's starting tomorrow. I hope everything goes smoothly and it should hehe, but you never know what to anticipate sometimes. The Olympics turned out to be really great this year aside from our loss in hockey :D. It was a great game regardless, nonstop action. I also wish more people were on Google Buzz at this point, I really enjoy how easily integrated all of the services I use from Google are seamlessly integrated. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before more people use sites like that and move away from slower, unintuitive interfaces like Facebook.
