Weekly Rant #1: Forums, The Good and the Evil

Although forums allow people to connect, get much needed help, share information or even new products and programs, but sometimes the concept fails.

The best example I can provide would be: http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/general-mac-os-x-discussion/22978-finder-issues-cant-open-any-application.html. Over the course of about 4-5 weeks, I continually updated the post, with any hope of help - getting hundreds of views, no help.

Finally, I ranted.
What happened? I got an instant reply from a mod. My laptop is still unusable, but at least I could release the built up energy.

Review #1 Cowon iAudio D2 MP3

I would like to have this device as my first review because, other then being my first MP3 player, it emerged me in the player's community and got me involved in electronics.

This device, for once, actually held the battery life as advertised. I loved how it had flash capabilities and many of the games I would play on the computer actually worked on this platform. The themes, rockbox capability and music skins also made the device personal. I especially liked how Cowon allowed these modifications unlike Apple's many attempts to halt them in it's products.

Sadly, one of my younger sisters broke the screen. However, I continued to use it, and still do today whenever my iPod craps out.

Main Features:
FM Radio (Including Radio Record)
Video and Picture Viewer
Voice Record
Flash Player
Text Reader
Dictionary
Calculator (Scientific)
Amazing Battery Life
SD card reader
And one of my favorites, Draw

Would I buy from Cowon again?
Based on the D2, I wouldn't second guess.

How to make people feel really dumb

If someone spent the time to make a post on a forum to ask a question you can just google, this site is your best friend: http://lmgtfy.com/

Nutsie, Grooveshark

These two websites are basically Pandora jacked up on Mountain Dew

Both sites feature searching for the song you want, then add it to a playlist
The one Difference is Nutsie remains a "radio" and shuffles songs while Grooveshark allows you to play any song in any order.

Try them out: Nutsie.com , Grooveshark.com
