Opera 9.5 vs Firefox 3

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Some might remember my infamous Opera 9 vs Firefox 2 vs Internet Explorer 7 post. I’ve decided to take a look back in the past and repeat the experience as new versions of both Opera and Firefox appear to be nearing release. In contrast I’ve chosen to leave the upcoming IE8 out of the battle [...]

Untraceable

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

I might be a cynic to call this movie unbelieveable, but Untraceable is really a quick forgetable movie that you might appreciate if you can enjoy mild torture and twisted logic of both heroes and villains of the story.
The idea is simple, someone put up a website called KillWithMe where he streams over the Internet [...]

Shaolin Soccer

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

On last week Totally Rad Show (TRS #55), they made a review of the latest Stephen Chow movie called CJ7. During their review I realized that this guy was also behind Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle. Proposed as great movies I was set to correct my mistakes and made sure I saw these two [...]

The Forbidden Kingdom

Friday, April 18th, 2008

A while back I got pretty excited when I saw the trailer for The Forbidden Kingdom. I was sure this movie would spike my interest, and I can say it delivered all I was expecting. The movie was released today and instead of reading my review you should go out tonight and see it. [...]

The Nines

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

This movie looked intriguing from the start. I don’t believe it got a lot of coverage, not even a wide release in theater. However, I’ll have to admit right here that I’m a fan of Ryan Reynolds, I don’t know why… I would consider him a pretty good actor, he plays comedy fine but he [...]

What the Frak is Going On?

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

I’ll tell you what’s going on! The most impressive show on television is coming back for it’s final season. Usually TV shows get cancelled when they’re not successful and their ending is sometimes held with stitches. This is definitely not what is going on with Battlestar Galactica. It has been decided that the fourth season [...]

Belly Button

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

I’m young, I grew up with Internet and I’m the center of the Universe. In my computer, there’s my documents, my pictures, my music, my videos. Only my own stuff. And all around me, there are my relatives, some close. Further, there are my irregular contacts, my school, sports and vacation buddies, friends from my [...]

I ♥ Traffic Shaping… NOT!

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

A few months ago, the news broke out on Ars Technica that a Bell Sympatico employs traffic shaping to control the flow of traffic on the Internet. They claim that it is only in use during peak hours, and call it “Traffic Management”. I have always tried to stay clear of the tiresome Net Neutrality [...]
