Technology in your hands.

Did you know that you can play Super Smash Brothers from N64 online? Yes thats right, you can play with all your friends with up to four players online. I recently started playing it and I am now addicted. To get this game, you will be using an emulator. To download this emulator visit this link. After you download the link, you need to get the super smash brothers rom and that can be found here. Now after you download both items, make sure you direct the emulator to the rom so it knows where it is. After that open Project64K then go to File->Start Net Play. Also make sure you set the keys to your liking. I use a controller so I can’t tell you what keys you should set.

This is just a rough idea of what my computer would have if I decide to build one.

1 Q6600 CPU 2.4 GHZ

2x Transcend AxeRAM 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)

1x or 2x Standard GeForce 8800GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3

1x ABIT AB9 QuadGT LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard

These are just the basic specs that I have going ATM. I haven’t decided the case that I am going to use but will have to most likely be pretty spacious. I also haven’t chosen the fans for it and I will make a dual boot with Vista and XP. Gonna go with maybe a 100gig or 250 gig HDD, not sure yet. Don’t like what I have or want to add something? Just place your thoughts in comment.

After writing the last post, it got me thinking on whether I should build a new computer or not. The computer I have now has a 2.4 GHZ, 1 gig Ram, Radeon 9600, CD/DVD Rom (not burner), and a creative sound card. This computer was given to me for free and it can play some games like Guild Wars. However this computer cannot handle the newer games coming out. The thing I am considering is the price. I just bought a car so now my money is on a budget but then again the fun I will have on this computer will be great. I would be able to play all the new games and still be able to get my work done. I would like some inputs from the readers so give me some feedback.

OK by good computer I mean it has to be able to play pretty good games, such as crysis and all the other games coming out this holiday season. The only way to get a good deal on these computers is to build one yourself. By building one yourself you can save over $500. Major companies like Dell and HP overprice their computer because they can. Not many people know much about comouters so they will pay how much they are told to pay. So I suggest you learn how to build computers from the internet or even from a book in your library. Now the pricing of a computer would cost around $1500 for what I would think is a really good computer. I mean I am talking about quad core, 3-4 gigs of ram, no monitor, 8800 GT video Card,  and a nice case. You also have to look on new egg and other stores for the best price. 

Well, if you are looking for a new pc this christmas, you’ve got to take a look at the EEE pc. The eee pc is one of the best pc’s not only by its sleek design, but also its rapid boot time, and the the hardware it consits. Most importantly, an amazing pc at an amazing price of only $199, but due to high demand it’s going for mid $300’s.

Check some of the specs here:

an ultra mobile notebook computer that runs a custom Linux OS and uses a solid state flash drive (SSD) as its primary storage medium. The unit features a 7 inch screen and a built in webcam including wireless internet connectivity.

Also, it consists of 512 mb memory, a ssd 4gb hard drive, and some  other uber specs. Grab one of these and make your life mobile.

We usually don’t, never, or usually never plan to copy a press article and paste, but this is too good to put in other words.

“South Korean scientists clone cat that glows red

Cloning is a topic of much debate that has uses for good and uses that aren’t so good. Being able to clone animals with specific disease states could make it easier for researchers to tackle genetic diseases that affect animals and humans alike.In 2005 the infamous Hwang Woo Suk, South Korean cloning scientist, admitted to falsifying stem cell cloning research. Even when it was later found that Suk had actually made a possibly larger breakthrough than the faked research suggested, the damage was already done and Suk was fired and faces legal ramifications for his falsified work.

Another group of South Korean scientists has cloned cats with a florescent protein gene that makes them glow red in ultra violet light. Similar techniques have been used in everything from roundworms to goldfish to pigs. The procedure used in the cloning process is hoped to be able to help develop treatments for genetic diseases.

The lead scientist on the project, Kong Il-keun from the Gyeongsang National University was able to produce a trio of cats with the altered glowing gene. The cats were born in January and February, two grew to adult and one cat was still born.

The South Korean Ministry of Science and Technology said in a statement, “It marked the first time in the world that cats with [altered fluorescence protein genes] RFP genes have been cloned.”

Cat glowing

This is truly an amazing thing. We can alter genetics and tackle what we want in a certain specie, but this is altering with nature. Anyone know that fact that they also cloned rats, who luminated green.

For those who don’t know, Hulu is a website where you can stream all kinds of show for free. The only downside is that you must have an invite to it. So if you like one, register now and hope they send you one. Luckily for me they sent one in about a month. They have shows like My Name is Earl, Family Guy, and Arrested Developement. Now some guy who is a genius, embeds all the videos from hulu onto his site. Meaning you can now view all the videos on hulu completely free! The name of this site is OpenHuluand they have almost all, if not all, the videos from hulu for your viewing pleasure.

In the past I posted questionable methods for getting free music, however, now you can get free music that’s all legit. The only downside is that you must be a college student also meaning you must have a college email to register for the music. The good thing is that they have over 3.2 million free, high fidelity, licensed tracks of music from major labels and indies.

The are able to do this because all the music is DRM protected. Meaning that the music cant be burned to CDs, put on MP3 players or anything else along those lines. Basically you can only play all the music on the computer you download it on. To register, go to http://www.ruckus.com/ruckus/home.do and enjoy the wide variety of songs that they offer.
