I Need Your Help!

2009-03-09T06:44:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, I want to be completely honest, I've been trying to change my old cellphone a long time ago, and even asked for a new one for my birthday, but nothing happened. and I wanted to save money for it, but now I can't do it, and this is why...

This is going to sound funny the day before my birthday (march 4th) my boss calls me over to talk....i went upstairs confident and relaxed because we have a good relationship (boss - employee), the thing is i went upstairs and said "yes, you needed me?"....she: "please, take a seat.." I thought..."ok, what happened..", I sat down and she told me that my team and I are FIRED!!! I couldn't believe it!, my eyes were wide open, after, a cold sensation on my back, running though my spine...and I asked calmly.."May I know Why?..", and she answered "the reason is that the area you guys are working on it's not showing lots of results.., the job is being done properly, but It's not resulting like it should" and she added " It's not your fault...", after that I said, "ok, is there something I need to sign?", signed the papers that needed to be signed and left...

went back to my office thinking and wondering and of course I was still shocked...

Please believe this story, It's 100% truth

I was about to buy the cellphone but now I have to save the money.

The thing is I want to ask for a kind donation to help me buy the phone and take this sour flavor of my mouth.

If you want to help. please click the donate link. you can donate the amount you want.

You'll be making me very very happy.

Thanks in advance.

How To Download apple.com Trailers

2008-10-28T07:29:00.000-07:00

Here is a small tutorial I made to help you download those HD or high quality trailers (movies, games, etc) from the apple site.

Here it is!

Step by Step

1-. We go to http://www.apple.com/trailers and look for a trailer that we want to see (e.g Iron Man, or bolt, etc)

2-. When you are in the site, you select the large version (or the medium or small, is your choice)

3-. Either on firefox or IE, we need to see the "source code" of the page (firefox = ctrl + u; IE = view -> source code (it opens in notepad))

4-. Once we have the source code, we use the "find" function and type in ".mov" and we start looking.

5-. You should find some thing like this "http://movies.apple.com/movies/lionsgate/transporter3/transporter3-tlr2a_h.640.mov?width=640&height=272" (the bolded address is the one you need)

6-. After you copied it, you paste it in a download manager (download accelerator, download them all, etc) and you download the file

7-. The file you downloaded will have a size of 70~100 kb, now you have to open that file with notepad and this is what you'll get: Xmoov Prmra Hrmda 0rdrf url transporter3-tlr2a_h640w.mov rmdr ð (in red the real file name

8-. Now with that information, this is what you do, we take the address that we had before

http://movies.apple.com/movies/lionsgate/transporter3/transporter3-tlr2a_h.640.mov, and we replace the bolded text with the real file name "transporter3-tlr2a_h640w.mov"

9-.You should have something like this:
"http://movies.apple.com/movies/lionsgate/transporter3/transporter3-tlr2a_h640w.mov

Now copy the new address that you have and paste it in your download manager, and start downloading your trailer!

Enjoy!

PS3 vs XBOX 360

2008-10-16T08:09:00.000-07:00

I know there is a lot of information, reviews, face off, etc, I'm pretty confused also and I consider my self a hard Sony fanboy, but as I'm writing this, I'm reading a in-depth comparison article, that is quite impartial, they talk about hardware capabilities, how easy is to develop games for each console, and more.

But reading all of these articles, watching video comparisons, picture against picture, etc...they allow you to see slight differences between console and console, but is really changing your mind, what detail or opinion will make you go and definitively buy a PS3 or and XboX 360, that's what I want to know, because I want to buy a new console, but I'm not sure which one....
There is a picture comparison in gamespot, that's makes the xbox 360 as a superior machine, but somewhere else (I'll leave some links at the end of this post) I read that the Xbox 360 has an high rate of faliure (it damages with ease), and Microsoft had to inject like 30 million dollars (or soemthing like that) to extend warranty for their users because this short lasting life of the 360.

To wrap this up, im going to leave some links to articles, comparisons and videos. so that you see for your selves.

Please, help me make up my mind, share your opinions and experiences.

Thanks for stopping by!

Upgrading cell phones...

2008-10-10T10:15:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, I want to share a little story with you:

Almost for a year now, my cell phone has been a sonyericsson K790 (which i love!), the thing is when i bought this phone i really loved it, and i still do, i've flashed it, unlocked it, change the menu icons, etc...(i hope you know what i'm talking about) everything was great until i bought a 2gb M2 card, now i loved it much more, i uploaded almos all of my music to my phone, watched movies in it, etc, it was a perfect reationship between Man and Machine...but it wasn't meant to last long....

....I started to record a lot of videos because i now have 2gb of memory....and as you may know the K790 only records at a resolution of 176x144 pixels, i have a modified camdriver to reach 25 fps when recording, but that wasn't enough (my camdriver is number1 3.04 ShooterMode from se-nse forum), the ting is i started to look for another phone and the K850 came to my mind, 5 mega pixels camera, accelerometer, beautiful, and the most important, video recording resolution of 320x240 at 30 fps, i know it's not an amazing resolution, but it's better than 176x144.

The thing is i am decided to buy this new phone, the only problem is that i don't have the money (350 dollars app), here comes the funny part, i started like crazy to register in all of the "make money for free" sites that i can found, so i can get some cash in my paypal account....but until today, my paypal account is empty, im starting to doubt this sites.... so i guess i'll just have to save on my own....

I hope that the next time i write about a K850 is when i'm telling you guys about my own phone...

Take care!
