I finally received my new blue tooth enabled wireless keyboard and "laser" mouse. Let me say, it is sooooooooo cool. The mouse: It is LASER. not optical so you no longer have that red annoying light coming out from the bottom of it and also it works great on reflective surfaces in which the optical mouse cannot. It is also sooo much more precision and faster even being wireless. You would never know that it was wireless. Of course it is a little more heavier that a regular mouse but it does come with extra cool buttons like scroll left and right and back and forwarg pages and even a thumb button for menu. It comes with its own rechargeable cradle so you never have to change the batteries. It also has an indicator on the mouse as well as in your task bar when your batteries are getting low.The keyboard. Very cool. Not as cool as the mouse but does have some good points.. first the bad points.. they change the layout with the insert, delete, home, end, page up, page down function.. they removed insert and made delete bigger. i though that was kinda stupid. Next it has this awesome display of time and temp and all kinds of cool stuff on its little LCD. However, 1, its not in color and 2 it has no light.. or at least i didnt find one. I use it for my home theatre system which is already darkish in there and its hard to read the display. It does have quick figner roll switch that can easily increase/decrease volume and increase/decrease zoom. The keyboard is a bit heavier then other keyboards but still no that heavy. Anotehr drawback, does not come with rechargeable batteries and does not have a cradle to recharge it. They do give you 4 double A batteries. I put them aside and used my own 4 double A recharge able batteries and I have another set of four that are already charged waiting to be changed. I also have my own charger that will solve that problem. It doesnt seem to easily indicate on the keyboard that the battery level is like the mouse. maybe through buttons on LCD .. I havent found it yet. However it does display in the taskbar when the batteries are draining. .. well i think it does.. i saw an option that said keyboard batteries are full. Keyboard takes a little more to get used to.. especially since the insert button has been removed. and there are soo many function buttons that you can do cool things with that i havent gotten around to doing. for instance you should be able to take the keyboard in the other room "up to 60 ft" and press media and windows media player will load and play your playlist.. you can then use your finger to scrooll up and down the volume or even click next for the next song. So thats the scoop. Lets see how long it lasts before it breaks LOL

wow, that's a very awesome "first kiss" story. Not many of us even remember our first kiss. So what did it mean when the guy ripped up the check. He probably told him, i'll shoot you if you charge me hahahahaI think mine was with a girl from my second grade class.. but who knows. LOL So how old where you with your first kiss?

Our american idols is different. For instance, last year carrie underwood won. We only have only 1 win per year and is only from the US. I knew that there were onther idols in other countries cause its such a popular hit tv show. This year should be interesting. THere are soo many people that CANT sing and think that they can.. I guess most people try to just get on TV. You should see some of the wackiest thing people wear just to get some attention and get on TV. I know I can't sing and I wouldn't even waiste my time or effort just to be in front of a camera to make a fool of myself. People are not laughing with you.. their laughing AT YOU. Oh well that's the life

Well I defintely wouldn't go wireless back in the day if im sitting right in front of the monitor.. whats the point. right?? well life has changed for me.. Now I have set up a projector and i have my computer in the family room also connected to it.. so people can surf the web or check email..but the catch is.. they have to sit on the couch right next to the PC cause the wires dont reach.. Then I also read about regular wireless can only extend to 6 ft.. that also defeats the purpose.. cause my other couch is like 10 ft away from the PC.. so hearing about this bluetooth one is just GREAT news. now I can just give anyone the laptop and mouse to play from anwhere in the room.. The one I'm about to get "logitech MX5000" has a little LCD screen that you can view small data.. and I can bring the keyboard in the other room.. play mp3s and change the song at the click of a button on the keyboard.no need to run in the other room.. For mouse.. i think there is a cradel tht automatically charges everynight.. but just puttin the mouse away.. the keyboard however takes AA batteries.. I have rechargable AA batteries and a charger so all i have to do is swap the batter and get the next batch ready to charge.. the keyboard and mouse have a new Charge indicator so you can see HOW much battery life is left >> VERY COOL!11

Now if you would be able to take your keyboard, monitor and mouse all over the house you would just be buying a laptop! These days the processing power of the laptop is very good so you can't just say well laptops aren't fast enough. What we do need is just a laptop thing that is just soo light weight and not that much heat so that you can just hang out in bed an play.

Well, I know all about the internet dating thing.. but I do have to say.. just like you I did wind up meeting my wife. We are now married with our own new born boy. So yes, you will get the crazies, but you never know you may find a needle in the hay stack. Thanks for listening and the advice. Hmm, I wonder.. maybe I should put up a website with my stories.. I have LOTS of them... :-) like 8 yrs worth of dating .. Thanks

Here is another story of a compulsive liar.Well we talked on IM but she had no pic, but was willing to meet.. We did meet and wow she was pretty and we hit it off soo soo good. Well, we always would talk on the phone at work and occasionally meet up halfway to hang out. We were doing this for a while until things started getting strange like one night she called me and told me her number and said she was going to bed. So I wanted to just call back and say sweet dreams .. but when I called back her "supposedly" roomate says oh shes fast asleep.. Im like uh OK... was weird.. so then the next day she calls me as if nothing every happened. and gave me some excuse that she was just exhausted.Anyway, thing still got more and more strange.. like we supposed to hang out saturday night and she cancels saying I really want to but i cant. I strated thinking all kinds of weird things like she was a stripper at night or something since it was soo hard to get a hold of her on weekends.WELL, it all turns out that she was living with her ex boyfriend / boyfriend. So I immediatley ended that. Couple months later she emails me again sayng she misses me and finally moved out and back to her moms house. So i'm like whats your home number and she was sooo trying not to give it to me.. but finally did. So I did the test.. waited till about 10pm and made the call.. guess what her brother answers saying she is sleeping over her friends house.. OH OK.. LOL so again the very next night I do it again.. and would u believe shes sleeping her OTHER friends house hahahahahIt was just too funny.. so again I say.. why even bother if your gonna lie to me.So again.. FEW months pass.. she calls me again..wanting to hangout.. so I do and shes like that she is finally out and wants to hangout.. well we hangout a few times.. then she invites me to a wedding..As the day was approaching.. things was getting weird.. and I knew that she wasnt going to take me anymroe but she wouldnt admit it.. so the day before the wedding i was talking to her at work.. and I say so what time should I be at your house tommorow.. shes like UMmm i'll call you.. then im like when.. shes like well i have a meeting right now i'll call you after.. it was 4pm and thats when she goes home.. THERE WAS NO WAY THERE WAS A MEEETING.. SO im like and what if you dont call.. shes like Ill call you...well she never did call.. so I called her cell.. a left the most nastiest message saying she is the biggest *BLEEP* I have EVER met and never will I talk to her again.Well that was it for her.. up untill like 3 or 4 yrs later.. she sends me an email.. asking if that was still me.. and says she is sorry and has a new born kid with her "ex boyfriend" hahahhSo thats that!!!

Well, of course there are bad stories. but you know.. internet dating was one of the most exciting days of my life. Before life was boring not really meeting many people so no stories. With meeting girls online wow.. it was soo exciting to see what they were gonna look like or trying to put a picture with the face or even seeing a picture and wondering if she would looke better or worse. It was truly exciting and the stories will stay with me forever how funny and pyschotic people can be.

Well doing the internet dating thing. The one thing I did meet most were liars and I'm not talking about little white lies I'm talking about compulsive liars, like they need to lie to get through the day.Here a story about another girl who I've was talking to for a few months. She would tell me how she is italian but didnt really speak it much, she would send me pictures of other girls and told me sorta how she is wealthy and has a huge house in a rich town with all these expensive things and just bought a brand new BMW that was made in europe and had it shipped here just for her.. It supposedly even had the eruope license plate on it.WELL, turns out that she did send me one real picture of her and im surprised she was actually very attractive and the other pics she sent .. I guess were supposed to close to what she looked like. I did meet her one day at the mall and damn she was HOT. but again she would talk about her car but she got into an accident and had to get it fixed in germany and would take sever months to get back. sick in the head.. then shes like so do I look italian.. and I'm like not really.. You look a little irish and polish. She got offended.Well, Later we started talking on the phone and shes like she is calling from her grandmother.. because the number was from lyndhurst. Then another day i guess she forgot and told me to call her home and gave me the same number.. well AGAIN i did a google on her number.. and guess what she did live in lyndhurst. Well Dont know if i am pyscho but I had to drive by the place to see the name on the mailbox.. well it turned out to be a aptarment complex and her last name was NOT the italian name she gave me.. she was not rich and did not have the BMW. Finally one day, I was like hey you wanna hang out.. shes like well i cant.. dont have a car right now.. and im like dont worry about i'll pick you up.. shes like thats ok.. I go seriously .. i know all about you.. i can pick you up in lyndhurst.. she was TOTALLY SHOCKED and was like.. uuuuuh i gotta go.. Never spoke to her since. hahahah..

Now this is such a crazy story.Let me first by saying that I'm 100% sicilian and speak it and I was looking for a 100% italian girl who speaks it too. Anyway, I met this girl online who had all the features and qualities that I look for in a girl. even italian. She sent me a picture in which I thought she was beautiful... dark hair , blue eyes, short.. just the way i liked it. We started talking talking on the phone too. Then as I started to realize things just didn't match up right. Like her telephone number was a PA number and she told me she lived in NY which her reasononing was that she was using her brothers CELL from NY. It also always seemed that she never had a good time to meet. Then the next thing I noticed is that she said she will call me from work and guess what AGAIN a PA number. Of course I did a google on the number and found the pizzeria in PA.. by the way i live in NJ. Finally, I chit chatting with other girls and another girl I new was also italian but would never give me her picture. I then told her about this one girl that i have been talking to and how I really started to like her and I sent the picture of her and asked what she thought. Well thats when *BLEEP* hit the fan.. She was like WHERE DID YOU GET THAT PICTURE.. she started getting all upset and finally wanted to talk to me on the phone for the very first time. IT TURNED OUT THAT THIS WAS HER PICTURE. Wow.. things were sooo crazy,... then she realized that it was her cousin who stole her picture and gave it to me and acted like it was her.Wow I can't believe how i was fooled. Anyway I needed to confront this girl who scammed me this whole time. So me and my sis drove 2 to PA.. first we met the girl whos picture it really was.. She was very nice. then we drove to the pizzeria where her cousin was and I was like can i speak to carmen in which she told me her name was gabriella. And i'm like you cant be doing this kinda stuff.. You lucky i'm a good guy others could do some damage. she was left dumbfounded and was like what are you talking about.. her scam has been caught.Well onto the other girl.. I wanted to meet the other girl again.. in which i did i drove 2 hrs again to hangout.. but the drive really hurts so I never hung out again.too bad though she was a nice girl.. and I winded up marrying a non italian. and thats the life.

I did a lot of internet datting, which is how I winded up meeting my wife, but let me tell you I had LOTS of crazy stories.Here is one that stood out.Started talking to a girl online. she seemed cool. I told her how I'm very spontaneous that I would meet a girl after just talking to her one day. Well anyway she says lets talk on the phone. I say sure. I start talking to her on the phone and it sorta sounds like she has candy in her mouth when shes talking. So, I got thinking , that sounds a little weird.So then she's like hey why don't you come meet me tonight and I said ah.. not really up to it and it's late.. Then she starts to ramble about I thought you were spontaneous... your not spontaneous. Finally I was like fine.. I'll come pick you up and we will go get some coffee or something.So I go meet her and could you belive the girl has a friggen hearing aide and was not attractive at all. Wow, I was amazed. I drove her for like 15min.. and i'm thinking theres no way i'm stopping anywhere.. I just want to go home.. So i wasnt rude or anything.. but finally I was like I have to go and dropped her off.The very next day, she IMs me and says what did you think and I say I felt deceived. You didn't tell me anything about having a hearing problem. I felt that I need to at least know what I'm getting into before its like SURPRISE i'm handicapped. That's one story.. Maybe I'll share another one later

Anyone like Unreal Tournament? That is one of the best 3d shooter games. I especially like it when you can play on the internet and use instab.Instag = is a laser that can shoot and kill in just one shot and never needs reloading. You can battle it out to see who has the better accurate shot.There are other games like capture the flag in which you have a team to capture a flag and bring it back to your base.Does anyone here still play that game?

Anyone out here watched the first Night of American idol this season? DId anyone see how they decided to let that last person go. The one who was jumping around like crazy and says that animals talk to him. Clearly he was SUCH a bad singer and looks like he had lots of issues.First Randy says yes and Simon says no. Randy might of said yes, just to fool around, but then Paula says Yes, but she says for my own reasons. What the hell does that mean?Anyway, I think they choose him because he was the wackiest one and they wanted to get people to laugh and come see the one who talks to animals.

Adsense really seems to be a cool way to go, but how do you make money if google can at anytime shutdown your site. It very scary to go through all that effort just to get a few bucks and even if that. There are soo many website out there. When people do searches your site will most likely be so far down that you will be lucky if someone even sees your site, let alone see your site AND click on an ad. Unless you offer something that other people don't have and it's a big hit that you can actually earn some money.

Logitech came out with a new wireless keyboard and mouse that uses bluetooth. Now you dont need to be just 6 feet away from the computer. You can now bring your keyboard into the other room and change music stations. It has an LCD and gets information back from the computer. The mouse uses a laser rathr than optical which is much more precision then opticals and great for fast action games. It can be a little pricy though.. I found one through froogle to be about 119. The retail price on it is about $150. I can't wait to get mine. I have a projector connected to both my cable box and my computer. Its sooo great to watch movies and play games on this thing. Having a wireless keyboard and mouse would do wonders.. Don need to sit RIGHT NEXT to the computer .. and can pass the mouse off when someone else wants to check their email on the BIG screen...Hope this info helps

about saint michael post. " Do away with floppies." Well, I sorta agree with you however I as a systems admin for my company order PCs and still add the floppy to it. I seemed to be still scared to not have a floppy drive. Just in case I needed to copy a small file over.. like bios update or a license file. Some computers are not even on the network so I cannot just copy it over the network or download it. Of course you have the option of USB and CD-R However I don't have an USB thumb drives available and not sure if im going to go out and buy 1 just for that. Burning CDs is just to painfull especially if your trying to make a boot disk. Everyone has floppies around so you cant run out of those unless you finally got the nerve to trash them all.

Technology is soo fascinating. I truly believe the cell phone will be integrated with everything. Im talking about satellite radio, TV, video player, phone, video conferencing, digital camera, palm pilot, computer, video games, online head to head video games, credit card, scanner, GPS system. Anyone else have any more ideas that can put put onto this little crap. Removable storage chips that are like 1 TB well i guess u wouldnt need to remove it if you had that much space LOL. and best of all being able to share download/send any info to anyone. What about controlling your house alarm system, garage door, monitor your house .. remote starting your car hhahah i can go on and on!!!

Microsoft Vista still needs to be fixed up. I still think there are tons of bugs with it. They never fully test it before they release it. Guranteed 1 week published you will see them working on a SP1 cause so many things would be broken. People will lose their data cause it crashes when they were upgrading. Its always such a big headache. I know that happened to me when i upgraded to XP. my system froze and I lost all my installed programs and and to do an install from scratch. I do recommend always do a fresh install or else everything never works right. I stil lhave systems at my job that were upgraded from NT to 2000 and everything is all screwed up.. documents and setting aren't even in c:\ its in windows\profiles. Oh well, one day I will reformat them.

with VDSL and Cablemodem there will be a race to get the fastest internet. Im pretty sure cable is coming up with some scheme that will over faster rates too. The only problem I see though is cable line also had all these channels on it, so it must limit it somehow in which VDSL is a dedicated line so thats why you have soo much bandwidth. I currently have cable modem and its pretty fast.. faster maybe better however I wouldnt pay more.. I looking to pay less.. cable modem already is like $50 a month.

All's I know, is google stock is doing unbelievable. I was watching the stock the minute.. and i mean minute it came out trading.. I was watching it on my amteritrade streamer and the first day it went up to like 115 then came down to 95.. i thought it would just plummith back down since stock were all doing so bad. I got a little scared and never got it.. can you belive its like 466. UNREAL. I wish i got in soo bad back then. stock ticker is GOOG Good luck to anyone who did purchase the stock.

I still trying to figure out how to use flash.. Its cool but is it really that hard to make a flash game? Has anyone here made a flash game?

google adsense sounds cool. Does anyone have the paypal donate on their website?? Is it illegal to have a donate button? Very interesting

Does anyone know which one is the highest paying ad network? Are we even allowed to put ads on our websites???

Do you really get money from these places.. are they any good?

Blue ray is an awesome technology. It just keeps getting better. I think they will truly get away from the DVD/CD stuff and everything just be put onto flash cards. But they defintely need to get MUCH MUCH faster to be better.
