Is the Internet Boring?

 ^ myself fixing a computer^


Yes it actually is. Well, actually i think it is.  The reason i think it is because i dont do the whole myspace facebook thing. Why? because i think its a waste of time.  besides social networking what else is there to do? Download music? Download Software? Download Movies, maybe youtube? (youtube got lame with all the ads)When i open up firefox the first thing i do is read my email, and that's about it, i think that's what the internet has come to just plain bordem.  I think the internet could be more interesting if it was more categorized, (there are to many sites out there that do the same thing) Maybe some sites could disappear?  But who knows. The internet would probably not even exist without all the drama myspace and facebook bring to peoples boring lives.

Xbox Live

Well its almost that time when my xbox live subscription runs out. I was recently thinking that i should wait a while before i renew it. Why? because i have spent way to much time playing Modern Warfare and Halo online and haven't really got much done. Any way i think Live is great you get to play games with some really cool people who you may never talk to again. I also like live because of the quality of the service. Many people complain about having to pay to play, but it is totally worth it. The Wii and PlayStation online services are free but lack quality. Almost every time a new blockbuster game gets released the networks for the ps3 goes down. Who knows what ill do, ill make that decision 18 days from now. Well that was a couple of min you wont get back.

Windows VS. Mac

Yeah this post was likely to come up, being that computers and every thing there is to do with them is my passion. Anyway today  i heard that Microsoft stole windows from Apple. The first thing i said was what!? Windows is not stolen, like any product there needs to be competition. Back in the mid 80's after the first actually GUI to be available to the masses, many company's followed suit with there own version of the new point and click interface. Of course every  company had one including Microsoft, Amiga, and Atari. But that just pissed me off that every one thinks that Microsoft is some sort of software stealing mega millionaire. Anyway enough ranting, now to the facts. Macs are great for video editing, graphic design and even some casual gaming. Windows on the other hand are great for all these tasks *as long as you have high performance machine. And Windows is the best for hardcore pc gamers. Ultimately the decision is up to you. Macs are great because the os uses very little hardware but cost a lot more. Windows is great because you can build a well rounded machine for under the price off $800. The lesson here is  don't buy a Mac because everyone else "cool" owns one. Learn whats best for your needs and is in your price range! The irony is i typed this on a Mac because my pc was virus scanning.
