hulu.com launched

Posted by Administrator on Oct 29, 2007

I am really getting tired of these overly hyped unavailable services like hulu.com.  Granted it looks and sounds very cool and I am excited to start looking at it, I am really getting tired of these services that are launched under a limited beta.  Usually done to magnify the hype around a site.

Just launch your service and let us use it.  If you can’t have it ready to support demand, then it is not ready to launch!

Ipod Touch Hacking

Posted by Administrator on Oct 26, 2007

Wow, there is definitely some very cool things you can do when hacking the Ipod Touch.  My personal favorite is the echasketch application.  Granted, it does not add any significant functionality to the device it is fun.

I have seen an Ipod Touch setup to run an apache webserver, which is incredibly cool, but I am not sure what the practical application is.  That being said, my question is though you can add all types of cool applications, how many of them are beneficial on that device?  I personally want my music, maybe a video or two, but how much more do you really need on the device?

Some of the practical add-ons I have seen include the google maps type applications, but since internet access is wifi and not cellular how functional are these types of apps.  Typically if I have wifi access, I can quickly open up my laptop.

Ultimately, it is most certainly a fun toy and if you can swing the price tag you should get one!


Day trading on HSX

Posted by Administrator on Oct 26, 2007

I have recently begun playing Hollywood Stock Exchange (HSX), which is an online simulation of a stock exchange based on Hollywood. Instead of trading shares of a company you by into Movie Stocks, Star Bonds, Movie Funds and Derivitaves.

You begin with 2 million H$ and invest that to make money. A couple of things don’t align themselves with the real world, long term investing is multiple years, but rather in most cases multiple months.

The one discovery I have made is that it is not a good idea to invest in movies that I think look good, because evidently I do not have the same taste in movies as the masses.

This is definitely a fun game to play.  If you join, add me to your league (rugby148)
