PlayStation Network Restoration
May 14th @ 7:13PM
Good news for Playstation 3 owners. You can now download an update for the system software. It’s a decent sized update that took about 8-12 minutes to download and install. Apparently North America will be the first region to have the PSN rolling restart. You can check out a map of the USA that will [...]
Einstein is still right
May 4th @ 8:12PM
Apparently, there’s no proving that guy wrong. Even when he wanted himself to be wrong, he wasn’t. Today, NASA and some guys at Stanford and Washington University, announced the results from the Gravity Probe-B. What is Gravity Probe-B? It’s easily the most precise and perfect piece of machinery to ever be built by human beings. [...]
SpaceX: CEO Elon Musk on growth, pricing, profitability and China
May 4th @ 7:01PM
It seems there’s just so much to say concerning SpaceX. Especially after the CEO and CTO, Elon Musk, addresses some big concerns and even takes on China. In an update formed as a sort of statement from himself on May 4th, Musk sets the record straight. Mentioning the criticism SpaceX received when initially formed and [...]
Cellphones and Cancer: Public Ignorance and Apathy
May 3rd @ 7:55PM
It appears there’s still a large debate concerning whether or not cell phones cause cancer. This is probably the most ridiculous argument ever. For one, because those who purport that it does, site studies that are unverifiable in nature or otherwise unreliable. The topic at hand is now two fold; how might a cellphone cause [...]

Sony, the PS3, and hackers
Apr 24th @ 7:42PM
I can’t really keep silent on this issue much longer. Recently there’s been a lot of news surrounding a one George Hotz (and other hackers), who were involved in jailbreaking the Ps3. Then due to Sony taking appropriate legal action against Hotz, the group Anonymous began attacking the Playstation Network. Even more recently the PSN [...]
Brave New World, Huxleys Vision
Apr 22nd @ 9:41AM
After reading 1984, numerous people told me I must then read Brave New World. This was of course the next book on my list to read anyway, and a few days ago at the local plasma center, I finally finished it. This was a very different book than Orwells depiction of a dystopian future. Aldous [...]
Portal 2: Wrap-up!
Apr 21st @ 12:56AM
Having just moments ago finished my first play through of Portal 2, I feel comfortable saying this has got to be the best sequel ever. Yes, the Half-Life series is also phenomenal, which just goes to show that Valve certainly knows what they’re doing. But the beauty of Portal 2 is that it retained everything that made the [...]
