Crazy Chrome
So, I've been experimenting with various programs. Mainly web browsers, so far the browsers I've used: IE 8 BETA 2, Firefox 3, Opera, Safari, Flock and now Google Chrome. Google Chrome seems really similar to Firefox and Flock, only it seems to be faster and just a little more sleeker. First off, you can download Google Chrome for Windows XP & Windows Vista, both operating systems it runs good on. I find that it would look better with Windows Vista over Windows XP but that is just my personal opinion.
The main points I look for in a web browser is speed, look & design, organization, clarity and options. Google Chrome so far has provided more speed than any other browser I've used, the look & design is simple and sleek. The organization is amazing and very useful along with the clarity. Clarity meaning that it isn't hard to find options and there isn't a whole lot to learn, the minute you open it up and type in the page you want you basically know the whole program.
I have yet to download something using the browser, so far though I'm guessing it's similar to Firefox's download manager, well, I hope.
Get it now:
My next post will be about photo editing, look forward to it!

Sony Cybershot, Critcally Cool!
Today's update is regarding digital cameras. Mainly a Sony Cybershot Digital Camera, although it's an older model it still has a good value and use to me as I am not much of a photographer.
This camera is compact, cool, sleek and it has that style and look that I truly love. I've posted some images below of examples of how good the photos are turning out on 7MP mode.
The camera has many features and different settings to allow better photos taking for different situations. Some of these features include:
Beach mode
Landscape mode
Twilight mode
Twilight Potrait mode
Video Mode
Program Auto Mode
Camera Auto Mode
Snowy mode
and there's a few more in there.
Each setting you just need to turn the wheel for and it will automatically change the settings, which is really handy if you need to take a quick photo with automatic settings.
The camera has a memory slot and amazing battery life. The memory slot right now on mine holds a 2GB card, I believe which allows a amazing 169 photos on highest details and options.
Here's some example photos:

Official Playboy Phone!
During my vacation in Florida we've been stopping at flea markets, the ones down here are truly amazing and have quality goods. One of the flea markets we stopped at was in Daytona Beach, it's the best to me now! There was a booth that was selling unlocked cell-phone for "AT&T & T-Mobile" which are some popular U.S Carriers. Now, with that said if you don't already know an unlock is when the phone is able to pick-up different towers; T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint etc with the proper SIM CARD if the phone originally came from T-Mobile and you're a AT&T customer. Why is the useful? Well, a lot of phones aren't available to ALL carriers, with that said there might be a special phone that you truly need or want but isn't available at you're carrier. Well, get an unlocked phone for you're carrier; It allows you to use that phone with you're carrier! I live in Canada, to my surprise the unlock for this Playboy Phone worked with Rogers Wireless when it was originally only good for AT&T & T-Mobile.
The phone itself is amazing. It's an official playboy cell-phone, it's got a gold and black coloring and a really nice GUI, theme and generally the phone visually is amazing let alone the performance is unbeatable. Going from a Motorola Krzr K1/s to a this playboy phone has been the best use of my money and at only around $275US where if I bought it online or from the site it would've been upwards of $400US let alone the unlock. Also, my company doesn't sell this phone there's actually no company that sells it that I'm aware of, US or Canada.
The phone is fast, sleek, sexy and seductive. Including the official "The Girls Next Door" theme song; Some of you may not know this TV Show, it's regarding playboy girls and the big man in the mansion, Mr.Hefner :)
The package came with:
Playboy PC Suite
USB cord
Charger
Blue Tooth Device & Charger
Playboy Charm and Wrist Strap
A case
Head-phones
Memory Card
& instruction manuel and a really nice casing :)
Here's the pics: I'd highly suggest this phone to anymore! I love it!

Green is my favorite color, souly because of the XBOX 360!
Here is my review and tips and tricks of the XBOX 360 Console!
So I've been a MICROSOFT User for pretty much my whole life! MICROSOFT makes shit products and then sick products, depends on how much time, work, money and effort they put into it!
The XBOX 360 at first was a console of the gods, it had superior performance, features and graphics.
The review is based on the new UPDATE that was released in November. This update gave the console an intense over-haul, from GUI and themes to features! The GUI was totally revamped and now we have a much smoother, sleaker, friendlier and sexier GUI And theme, something we could probably blow our circuits on ;)
The update's newest features included the ability to install a game to the hard-drive providing quiter play. This was a nice feature considering a modification team is now working on a flash for the drive to allow you to literally go rent a game, install it, return it and play it :)
The console provides amazing gaming, movies, music, photos and IM. It'd be nice if it had a god damn internet browser like the PS3!
Anyways,
Here's my tip for all you dial-up users, like me, who want live to download gamer pictures or themes or just IM and theres one below for users who want to use WIFI via computer to console without paying for a receiver made my Microsoft.
Dial-Up users:
1. Connect to you're dial-up with you're notebook or desktop near you're console.
2. Connect the Ethernet cord via computer to console.
3. Bridge you're connections allowing them to be shared between you're dial-up port and you're ethernet port if it doesn't automatically do it.
4. Connect to XBOX LIVE, if you didn't already create a gamertag and start downloading :)
WiFi Users:
1. Connect to WiFi
2. Repeat above step 2, 3 (Only with wifi-ethernet) and 4 :)

"Can't Touch Me!" Well, when I seen you, I touched you!
Here is my review of the 16GB 2ND Generation iPod Touch.
As soon as I seen it in the case, as I was un-wrapping it on Christmas morning I took it out and glared at it as if it was a gift from god himself. The iPod Touch is simply stunning and beautiful, much nicer than other iPods. I un-boxed it, took out the polishing cloth and started polishing it every five minutes; I didn't want it to loose its beauty! I also got a case for the iPod Touch, sadly it was just for the gym and wasn't made for every-day use so anyways I plugged it in and started syncing my movies, music, photos and more and also updated the firmware and started downloading some applications. The brightness and look of it in general was just amazing; I'd much rather make love to that than Pamela Anderson :P Joking, anyways back on topic!
After the sync was complete I left it charging and charging and charging, took a nap and watched a movie and went down to the lobby of the resort we were at that night to use the WiFi. I was also listening to music, I found that the sound quality was amazing! I love the fact that I can browse the internet and listen to my music at the same time. Pages loaded so fast, unlike what people told me and I found that a lot of the sites I were interested in auto-matically re-directed you to the mobile version! The only downside regarding the internet was that if you're missing certain plugins, you can't view certain web-pages.
After I returned to my room it was around 3AM and I decided to watch my favorite show, The Real World. The video quality was just amazing, full screen and taking advantage of the fact it's wide-screen. The sound was also good quality, everything was crystal clear and magical.
I started using apps, sadly I used up my $25 Gift Card on a bunch of episodes of the Real World and two CD's from All Time Low! So, I've been running of the free applications. The free applications arn't as nice as they could be and their really isn't that much of choice but I'm picking up a gift card tomorrow along with a new phone and plan on enjoying X-PLANE and other paid applications, including the fact I can't wait for the NFS game!
After that I started viewing photos of myself, my old girlfriend and photos from parties. The photos came out crystal clear and I love the ability to just slide to change view the next photo, it's an amazing feature!
I found out that my girlfriend found a picture of me and my old friend, Laura which died and I don't have a computer that I can save photos too and anyways I went on facebook and was disappointed that I couldn't save the photo so after a few minutes I googled and figured out how, luckily I was able to download the photo to my iPod directly from FACEBOOK!!
Yesterday I went out and bought a case to use generally, you know, in your pocket type of case! I got a Griffen iClear or something like that and it's a hard shell clear case that came with a screen protector. Sadly, I couldn't put on the screen protector but it was only $15 at Wal-Mart so it wasn't that bad, the case is protective, slim and not really noticeable when it's in you're hands! You also have access to all the ports and switches which is really nice as a pose to past iPods and their cases :P
So this is my review for now, I'll update it in a bit when I get more on it, you now, get it unleashed.
Hopefully theirs a jail break out sometime soon...

Vroom, vroom, Vista!
A common problem people face is running a computer with the hardware that just barely meets Windows Vista's requirements. Although Microsoft says a computer running Windows Vista can run properly with only 1GB DDR2 RAM, it also depends on you're processor, graphics card, motherboard and hard-drive. When you buy a computer at the store, the techs tell you that a computer running Windows Vista under 1GB DDR2 RAM will run just fine, well, this is true if all you do is turn it on and e-mail and basically run off text- No pictures or videos.
To properly run you're Windows Vista Computer, follow the guide below. In my opinion Vista doesn't run lag free unless it has a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-55 AT LEAST and 2GB DDR2 RAM not too mention a graphics card of 256MB. To assure space, I'd also recommend a 320GB Hard-Drive!
Well, here we go...
One reason Vista is laggy on your computer is because most of you're hardware power is going into the visuals; Which is not need in my opinion. You can get the same visuals basically by turning off "Aero" and it'll also boost up you're computers over-all performance. Another way of boosting performance is turning off the task-bar and background applications that you're NOT using. The only things I keep running on my computer in the back-ground or taskbar is my default windows icons, virus protection and Windows Live Messenger and even then when I'm not on Windows Live Messenger I turn it off but right clicking the icon and then clicking exit :)
Turning off services, background applications and task bar programs is needed if you game, without it you're loosing a lot of frames and some of you're hardware is being dedicated to running those programs.
Now for AMD users, you can go to the site and download a program that can shut off all you're services and processes etc to speed up gaming; Only used when you're not downloading or waiting for an IM etc, link is below.
For gaming, you can also use Omega drivers; The site isn't loading on this computer but if you do a google for "Nvidia Omega Drivers" or "AMD Omega Drivers" you'll surely find it, you'll know it when you see it.
Use only one browser open at a time, if needed use multiple tabs.
Browser recommended would be Flock or FIREFOX or Safari :)
Well,
These are just a few starter tips. I'll post another post about how to speed up Vista as soon as I get back from a pool party.

How to get best gaming possible, without over-clocking!
Hey,
So this post was originally made for my bud 'Road Runner', so here you go! First off I wanna say that I hope everyone had a very merry, safe and fulfilling Christmas and not too mention happy!
Alright, now many of you probably started off with computers as basically just checking your email, than moved onto movies, music and photos, social networking and now gaming, blogs and forums, right? Right, well that's good because I'd imagine when you got you're computer you got a "Basic computing and media computer", right? Yup, you didn't need a high-end gaming rig with a Nvidia GeForce 9800GTX2, did you? Nope and you still don't! After you're done with this post, you'll be getting a lot more frames a lot faster providing either no lag or less lag for over-all computing, sounds good? Sure does!
So let's get started. The links to what you need to download will be posted at the bottom of the page.
Alright, now many people bring down ATI because apparently their is less performance in their cards, this is basically complete bullshit because I am and have been an ATI user since my first computer when I was 10 (I'm 15 now!). Right now I have a computer with a Nvidia GeForce 6150LE 128MB Integrated Card and a ATI X1200 Mobile Graphics 128MB Integrated Card. The Nvidia is on the desktop which gives me the upper hand on gaming and some-what different looking visuals which is good to some bad to others. The only reason my ATI isn't as good as my Nvidia is because the ATI is on a notebook but when I swap out one of the 1GB DDR2 RAM Cards out for a 2GB DDR2 RAM Cards it'll be even better than the Nvidia, it also got a new hard-drive! I'll post my system specs down below. Now let's get down to business. Step-by-step!
1. Set a restore point & Download and install all updates and service packs for Vista or XP.
2. Go to ATI or Nvidia (Whichever graphics card you have) and go to download and then drivers and put in you're information to download the latest driver and software package; You may need to try to different options to find you're direct card.
3. In ATI Software or Nvidia Software you can change graphical settings, now unless you have at-least a 256MB Card I suggest rolling back these settings, such as Anti-Aliasing, Mip-Maping and it also gives other options which you can choose between best looking and best performance; Best performance gives you the same graphics basically but at a much, much faster speed and nearly lag free depending on your hard-ware set-up!
4. On you're game, roll back the settings to medium detail; Sometimes like on trucking simulation games you can play on all the highest detail and get faster performance as a pose to medium or low settings, due to the graphics engine they use.
5. Now, if you're up for an extra 3 or 4 frames than you can download the "Omega" drivers if you're graphics card is supported; Note: SET A RESTORE POINT BEFORE OMEGA INSTALL!
The last option would be to upgrade the card and or RAM if you play games like Crysis or Halo on a shitty motherboard/processor/ram/graphics hardware.
Note: Updates, service packs and graphics drivers are a MUST update, otherwise you're guranteed not to get the most out of you're system.
& The omega site can't be found as my internet connection won't load the page, you can simply google it and you'll know it when you see it!
Are you running Vista?
My next blog will be about how to make Vista run faster, this'll be valuable if you have a notebook or desktop PC thats currently running Windows Vista but with a little bog.

Holy flock!
Hey,
So for a while I've been switching between Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari for my web browser- That changed last-night at 4:34AM :)
Right now, I've discovered a duplicate of Mozilla Firefox, only much better! Flock, it's got the same idea, concept and GUI as Mozilla Firefox but it's a little bit nicer to look at, user friendly, faster than the other web browsers and most of all keeps a better count on you're accounts! It also has a download manager, the same one that Mozilla Firefox uses!
Flock Download site: (You can download here!)

Modding an iPod!
Hey,
So being a little bit of a tweaker or experimenter I've come across many helpful sites and utilites to make the tweaking and experimenting a lot easier then it was when I was doing it completely blind!
Here's some useful links:
The things I've done with my iPod Video 5G:
I've changed the theme and firmware COUNTLESS times, making it more fulfilling and better I also found a lot of cracked iPod Games and movies along with TV Shows, which was really nice because I had a 30GB and was only using about 5GB's of that and that was including the pre-loaded OS!
Things I plan on doing with my iPod Touch 2G:
I plan on jail-breaking it and downloading all the free applications I can find, not too mention load it with videos and music and get it set up with a IM Client so I can do my Messenger and internet from it rather then being glued to the computer for ever.
Anyways,
Check out the sites, browse around and good luck! If people take enough interest in my sites, I'll be taking requests for imformation posts and tutorials, tips and tricks.
So being a little bit of a tweaker or experimenter I've come across many helpful sites and utilites to make the tweaking and experimenting a lot easier then it was when I was doing it completely blind!
Here's some useful links:

Using torrents
Hey,
Here's a post for all you torrent users. Torrents are files you download from a torrent client; Limewire, Frostwire, Ares, Bearshare, BitTorrent, BitCommet etc, these files are downloaded illegally and you can be charged for downloading them and re-uploading them, yup, you can. You can spend jail-time and hefty fines. You can also throw you're computer down the shitter using torrents, anything you get for free online that you'd normally pay upwards of $20CA for in-store and legally you're going to have a huge chance of getting ripped off or a virus, both are very bad.
I personally don't do illegal downloads for the reason I don't have the money or the time to give-up for being charged, for you people that do here's a guide how to stay safe as possible with torrents:
- Download Avast! Free Edition (Full time protection covering you're whole computers including IM)
- Download torrent client of your choice, the most recent version
- Install the anti-virus first and then install you're torrent client
- After that, re-start you're computer
- Start downloading but don't download anything that doesn't fit file size, below are the average size for each file & make sure that you NEVER shut off your virus protection or leave the client open during the day when you're not using it.
Music: 3-5MB (3,500KB-5,500KB)
Vidoes: 100-700MB (1,000KB-7,000KB)
This should help you, there are files in the client systems that have some "inapropriate" content and ID3 Tags, ignore them, they ARE viruses!
After you're done your download, shut-off the client and run a scan.

Updates, updates & more updates!
Hey,
So a common place where people go wrong in their computers and other electronic devices are updates! They figure "Hey, it works fine without the update and the download is upwards of half a GB, I'll just keep it the way it is" or "Too much time involved, I'll download it later". The importance of updates are not understood properly, updates NEED to be downloaded otherwise the company that made your product like; Toshiba, Acer, HP, Compaq, Lenovo, Asus, Apple etc, would not have made that update and hosted it for free download, would they? Nope, so, that's why you're SUPPOSED to download all the updates- Minor or big.
Here's my suggestion for all you people experiencing a slow, laggy, over-filled, un-updated computer:
- Create or locate you're recovery discs or original install discs
- Back-up important files; Music, movies, photos and any other document you need
- Put the recovery or OS install disc in you're DVD/CD drive
- Turn off you're computer and if you're running notebook plug-in AC Adapter
- Turn you're computer back-on and boot from you're CD/DVD Drive
- Run you're recovery to do a "Out of box state" recovery
- After recovery, connect online and download & install all updates and service packs
- After updates and service packs are installed, pop in you're back-up discs of files
- Transfer the back-up files to you're hard-drive
- Re-install you're needed programs, apps, games etc
Now, this should improve the over-all speed and reliability of you're computer. Always keep you're computer up-to-date and before doing any updating or installations make a restore point, just in-case something goes wrong.
Make sure you have 2 sets of you're recovery media be it a recovery disc from your manufacturer or a original OS Install Disc, sometimes you're discs may fail and that can prevent recovery over-all even if you can't boot, warranty's don't last forever and the company's charge top dollar to ship out a new set of discs.

Grand opening!
Hey,
My name is Presario. The name is familiar to many people from many different forum sites, sites that my name is and can be found on:
iPod Touch Fans Forums
iPod Wizard Forums
Truckpol Forums
Animalpak Forums
The Vista Forums
MaximumPC Forums
The list goes further, no need to keep you here any longer though. This blog will be updated weekly with news relating to any of the sites mentioned above, as in, I'll be posting news on trucking simulation games, body building, technology in general, moves, music, TV and much, much more!
I'll also be posting up tutorials covering many different subjects, whether it's connecting your XBOX to LIVE using dial-up and a notebook computer or it's routing you're wireless to your XBOX from you're notebook computer.
I hope you enjoy the site, the tutorials and more may or may not include video tutorials or screen shots as I'm not a very screen-shot friendly computer at the moment, for now it'll be text or video.
Thanks,
Presario
