Review of the past few weeks

I haven’t written for a while due to school, netflix, tivo, and reptile conventions.  However, this does not mean that I have been neglecting my blogs.  I’ve kept up, of a fashion, but just haven’t quite felt as if anything that interesting has happened to require a post.

Okay, okay, the new ipod nano, I got it.

To recap the last few weeks:

Apple’s going to kick ass no matter what.
There’s a new nano, I hate it less, but at least no one can sue due to the lack of shinyness.  The only exception: 8GB in a few mm?  Props.
Sandisk is going to own like whoa at second place.
Creative is going to fall, although I don’t see how they could get any worse at this point.
Samsung…well…you still suck.
Dell and HP are whores, but we knew this long ago.
The PS3 will be expensive, but what isn’t?
Grandmothers across the country will be confused as to their grandchildrens’ requests to urinate for Christmas.
OMG of the thousands they’ve sold your laptop is defective?  Ya, welcome to technology, get over it.
If you own a laptop, you might want to donate some sperm because your laptop will most likely fry your manhood.
Speaking of which, of all the reports of blowing up batteries, how come everyone’s lucked out and not received fried genitalia?
If myspace was a bar, you’d….well, insert something vulgar about molasses.
Facebook is becoming big brother, again, we knew this long ago.
OMG people can readz your infoz onlinez!!!  Excuse me, but may I slap you upside the head for not understanding that which is reality?  Get over it.
Zune dropped like a bomb because it sucked, not that Apple somehow has the hand of death up its ass.  It sucked.  Get over it.

More updates soon, I promise!

Netflix offers free previews

Going down the same road that iTunes has when it comes to whoring its bandwidth for name drops, Netflix is now offering preview disks for upcoming NBC shows for rentals.  While I love tie-in advertising, I’d love to see them do this with something less…lame.

Now if you ever mention TiVo or NetFlix you’ll get a giant one of my “OMGZ I love it so much!!!11eleventy!!!” speeches.  For some they are slightly worthless, but they are perfect for me.

Being as I’m a total NetFlix whore, I go through tons of disks a month.  In July I went through 17 disks, and mind you it takes a day for them to receive them.  Inspired by the new Superman movie I added all of the Smallville series to my queue, figuring I’d just give it a try.  Turns out I kind liked it, and now I’m almost done with the third season.

If there is a delay on a disk, NetFlix will tell list in your queue that there is some sort of a wait.  I just returned 2 DVDs last week, and I fully expected to get the next two in my queue:  more Smallville.  Ya, no, Netflix just decided to ship the next two movies afterSmallville, with no mention of a wait.  Der?

Well, it was a nice break, but I’m ready for the rest of the freaking season thank you very much!

I still love you NetFlix, even though you should be whipped.
