Exploring Stuff That Makes Life Great
StuffWeLike.com is preparing for a new show on The Pipeline that’s created by users for users! We’ll explain all the details on how it works soon enough!
For now we would like to know:
Do you own a webcam or video camera? Would you be interested in participating in a show?
Apple announced today that Safari is now compatible with Windows! Of course why would Windows users want to use Safari on their system? I mean seriously it’s Safari aka crap. Well not anymore!
Apple claims Safari 3 is now the fastest browser running on Windows, based on the industry standard iBench tests, rendering web pages up to twice as fast as IE 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2!
If its got the same features as FF2 and it’s faster – I’m downloading this right away. You can check out the public beta at URL www.apple.com/safari
[Update]
I’ve tried it out and lets say that I’ll stick to FF2 for now. I didn’t notice any improvement in speed. When I clicked on my scroll wheel it wasn’t moving the page. Thankfully The Pipeline is 100% compatible. Other than that it just felt awkward running Safari on Windows… 😳
We’ve got a preview for NBC’s upcoming Bionic Woman show. Airing this Fall, NBC is obviously trying to bank in on Heroes success and try their luck at another super human TV show. I’m liking it so far, but it seems like a high bugdet Smallville or Birds of Prey. With that in mind I don’t really know how long or how entertaining the series will be over the long run.
Judge for yourself by watching the preview in The Pipeline under TV Shows.
I’m looking at this weekend’s box office reports and it’s almost sad to think that the big 3: Spiderman 3, Shrek 3, and Pirates 3 are slowly being shoved out of the theaters making room for the next big wave of movies. There’s something about this whole process that makes me sad. Maybe it’s that these box office movies signify the summer and with them leaving it’s almost as if summer is dieing with it as well. I need my box office movies! Don’t let summer die!
Here’s the chart for the weekend (if only I could make a percent of this return):
1. “Ocean’s Thirteen,” $37.1 million.
2. “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” $21.3 million.
3. “Knocked Up,” $20 million.
4. “Surf’s Up,” $18 million.
5. “Shrek the Third,” $15.75 million.
6. “Hostel: Part II,” $8.75 million.
7. “Mr. Brooks,” $5 million.
8. “Spider-Man 3,” $4.4 million.
9. “Waitress,” $1.65 million.
10. “Disturbia,” $550,000.
So we all know that iTunes, Ipods, well let’s face it Mac products seem to be taking over the earth. However, how safe is it? Well iTunes now has iTunes plus to let you download music well, better…so they say. Apparently when you download songs from iTunes plus it leave information embedded in the song, and that information is not encrypted. So basically your information if you were to lose your ipod or shuffle or even a notebook is out there for the open. Now if you think about it, this is kind of huge your information personal stuff that’s not supposed to be out there is well out there.
Now iTunes the regular one well that’s supposed to also leave information in the song but the difference is that that information is encrypted well so they say.
The only person who is really talking about this right now is a radio show host on Am 1070 Jeff Levy and Apple is refusing to comment on this whole situation, odd enough?
Help spread the word if you know anymore information comment why don’t you- c’mon people this is huge!
I guess this time PC > Mac
Well I am not a great movie critic, nor a respectable one but I am a frequent movie go-er who might share the same opinions as many out there.
Oceans 13 started off well but from seeing the other two, Oceans 11 and Oceans 12 one could already tell what the plot and how it was going to unfold would be. The only difference-well the biggest in this one was the fact that it seemed like the conflict was straight out of a Mission Impossible movie. Things just got more complicated to where it seemed like there would be no end, but none-the-less Hollywood pulled through and it worked out in a fairly well told story.
The movie was good over-all but despite that the movie had it’s bland moments where the yawning in the theater was apparent.
Can’t say that I’m mad though, I had a free movie pass.
