Windows Mojave Experiment

                     I love both Macs and PCs, and I enjoy using both the Windows operating system(s) and the Mac operating system(s).  But I was getting sick and tired of hearing people whine and whine and WHINE about how crappy vista is, when 90% of these people never even used it!  I used Vista and seriously I had no problems with it.  Dare I say?…It was a good operating system?!  The only thing that made Vista bad was the dipshit users not knowing that Vista actually makes things easier for you, and fanatical Mac users who would trash the system and spread false rumors over the web like wildfire.  I leave Linux users out of this because, well, I feel Linux users are pretty neutral.

                      Microsoft shared in my frustration, so they set out to prove that everything you heard was bullshit (accept for the fact it DOES use more memory, but thats expected with a new and more advanced OS).  They took a bunch of people that didn’t use Vista because of what they heard from other people, sat them down, and had them use the new “Windows Mojave”.

                      In the end Microsoft wants us all to know one thing.  Make up your own mind about Vista by giving it a chance, you’ll probably be pleasantly surprised.  Again I have no qualms with any other operating systems, I use both Windows and Leopard (Mac OS) on a daily basis and enjoy using both of them.  I was just sick of hearing people whine, cry, and trash Vista, when all they did was hear bad things about it and never used it themselves.  Here is their intro video to The Mojave Experiment.

Movie Entertainment — MyVu Personal Media Viewer

I was reading through RollingStones magazine a couple weeks ago and I saw an interesting add for something I’ve never seen before.  Its called the MyVu Person Media Viewer, it pretty much plays a movie for you in a pair of sunglasses.  They are pretty chic in terms of style (NOW we know why Jordy LaForge wore them in Star Trek!), and apparently MyVu uses certain crystal viewer technology in their devices.

 These things certainly look like the next wave in future personal media.  The price at the moment is pretty steep ($300 USD), but as they come down within the next couple of years I’d expect to see more people on planes, trains, and buses with them.  Now even though you can’t exactly see through this device, one thing it does offer is the ability to look down at the video playing on your viewer, so when you look straight ahead you can see what is going around you still.  They can be plugged into almost any brand name portable media device, which gives it some great utility. 

However cool these things are though, some people may take it too far, as stated on their website “When you own a pair of Myvu Crystal glasses, you can get up close and personal with the action on your Apple iPod’s screen.”- Cincinnati Enquirer ” …how up close and “personal” do you really need to get with your ipod…seriously?  What the hell is going on in your ipod that makes it so friggin awesome you need to use this device to get “up close and personal” with it?  We’ve got enough people touching themselves at library computers thank you, lets not spread it to planes and buses (I omitted trains because…well, lets face it, the battle for trains was lost along with libraries).

Overall though these do seem like some pretty awesome gadgets to take care of some of lifes dullest moments, and we’ll probably be seing lots of them sooner rather than later.  Eventually we’ll probably see computers in the form of crystal view devices as well, but that might be a tad farthur off…or is it?
