Ryo here, survived another week and I’m back to throw things at people. Anyone have a car I can borrow? Mine was busted up in a wreck a few days ago. Promise I won’t make any modifications to it…well…maybe one or two. 😛
Moving right along from a story I’ve become sick of telling. What say we hop on a personal favorite topic of mine? That’s right…por…no wait, I mean Google. Sorry, bump on the head and all that. Anyway, Google announced they are making the shift to providing real time search results to its user base. Much like Twitter and Facebook currently do. Meaning that no longer will your searches for various news or hot topics include results that are several minutes old, but now just seconds old. Honestly the only way this can be improved upon speed wise is for Google to finally unveil the “Future Search” function they’ve been hiding away for themselves. I want to know what’s for dinner tonight but it seems my Google account hasn’t been verified for that secretive feature.
Just as a quick little side note to anyone wanting to make a quick buck, there’s some adware that the people providing it to you will pay you a dollar (presumably US currency) to install their software. The specific adware install has been labeled as C4DLMedia. If you are really in need of a dollar bad enough to install this ticking time bomb then you really need to start couch diving for change.
Gotta crack out my uber geek hat for this one. Think for a moment what the next step in computer networking is. If you said going completely wireless by replacing Gigabit Ethernet with something better than even the wireless 802.11N standard? Then yes, you think along the same lines as quite a few people. Imagine that for a bit though, your desktop wirelessly connected but achieving as good or even better speeds than it would have if you jacked in through Ethernet. That, my readers, sounds delightful since my primary computer is a laptop. Sometimes I need that extra bit of speed from a hard line connection in order to reduce latency between my media server setup and my Xbox 360 without stopping any downloads from running. 802.11N is the next step we’ve made towards paving the way for a nearly completely wireless world. Keep your eyes out for whatever the guys/girls at IEEE come up with next, because it will change how our networks are interfaced.
Pulling away from all the techie stuff for a moment, you wanna know what’s awesome? Killing a horde of zombies. Even better? Seeing a game about a horde of zombies in slow motion put to a classic Louis Armstrong song What A Wonderful World. Enjoy, my readers, keep your eyes out for those Boomers and I’ll see you next week.
