Who needs couple counselling?

I shared a big laugh with my roommate Hisham about these videos. Oh man, this is what television is really about. I wish more couples could duke things out by f*cking a celebrity. Amen!

Sarah Silverman f*cks Matt Damon


Jimmy Kimmel f*cks Ben Affleck

Going All Politico on your A**

With Barack and Hillary going at each other like middle school girls, one has to take a step back and appreciate the fact that there is a high chance that the next president will either be a woman or an African American. Maybe the winds of change are blowing across the United States. Till that happens, there's nothing like a good old parody to spur them on their campaign trail. Rihanna, you can probably giggle about this :)

A little SDHC, sir?

Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) have been in the market for a while now offering users of the SD card format large storage capacity. Capacities of the SDHC cards run from 4Gb-32Gb. Yowzer! Now, that's a lot of data you can store on your favorite SDHC compliant devices. Still need more information about SDHC? Check this out.

If you're ready to get some more space and bump up to SDHC, first, make sure your device is compliant, then check this little deal out!

Kingston 4GB Secure Digital High-Capacity(SDHC) Flash Card Model
Newegg.com Price $21.99, free 3 day shipping

I know this is labeled with the dreaded R-word ("Retail") but I think for that price it's a pretty sweet deal, considering I bought my 2Gb SD Extreme Card for $29.99 plus tax in Chicago. Heck, I would buy one myself if I really needed the space. Well, what do you know? My Canon SD800 is SDHC compliant. Sweeetttt!

250GB of Portable HDD Goodness

Speaking of the devil. Just when I've told all you about my fantasy of possessing a portable HDD. Here's one I would get if I had the dough! Holy Moly! This is too good to pass up for those who can just about afford it, or need to starve for a week (I don't advise the latter) in order to purchase it.

I Scream. You Scream. Flash Disks!

Especially if you're a college student majoring in anything, one necessary piece of hardware is a Flash Disk a.k.a. Jump Drives, Thumb Drives etc. If you've survived this long without one, may you go to heaven. For all the rest of us, we need space! I remember how glad I was when I got my first flash disk weighing in at a colossal 128mb! Ah, how naive I was. Today, we want bigger, badder, and faster. As for right now, I'm dual wielding a 4Gb Kingston and a 512mb Apacer flash disks. If I had my way, and most importantly some money, I would be sporting a 250GB self powered portable harddisk. Oooo, how my mouth watered when I typed that. Soon, I promise, I will get my mittens on a portable harddisk. Don't worry Flash Drives, Daddy still loves you.


So, for my people without flash disks, here are some places to get them dirt cheap!

My First Post: R.I.P. HD-DVD

1:24 PM / Posted by Nico Atienza / comments (0)

As many of you have already heard, the final nail in HD-DVD's coffin was when Toshiba backed the PS3. As with the VHS and Beta Max battle, one had to come out on top. Industry players flip flopped a bunch of times, but a winner had to come out eventually. Hooray for Sony. As for me, I'm still years away from HD. As soon as I can afford to buy a HDTV, and then sell my soul to buy a Blu-Ray device, then I will be up to High Def-fed. Till then, it's living like a poor college student with (gulp) analog, non-HDMI viewing for me.


Microsoft's loss is actually no one's gain. You can get the HD-DVD external player for the XBox 360 for $50 almost everywhere. Retailers around the web are slashing the price to get rid of what is now an unsupported, legacy format. If you want to snag a piece of Microsoft history, then it's your time to pounce. I found a $50 HD-DVD extension on Amazon.
Are you mourning HD-DVD? Or screaming for victory like the Spartans in '300' for Blu-Ray? Let me know.

!!Update!! Amazon is also throwing in 5 HD-DVDs with a rebate.
