Maybach Music ringtone

While I was leaving NYC from the iPhone Madness last week, around the Holland tunnel area, I think I may have spotted Jay-Z’s Maybach. Of course you can’t see him cause the curtains are drawn and yeah they are perfectly like a Picasso painting. For real, press the play button on the Image above. Rumor has it that he has a house in this area and I had seen him in some paparazzi picture on theYBF entering what seemed to be a Brown Maybach. So off course the next thing down I-95 was listening to Maybach Music over and over and dreaming how I will move up from my 350 slk to a Maybach when am ready to be chauffeured around. By the time I got back to Maryland, it had to become a ringtone for my iPhone. Now here is the real sweet part about iPhoneRingToneMaker. I can actually make multiple versions of the same ringtone for my iPhone. So now I can choose if I want the chorus or that ridiculous verse he had on the song.

Palm Employee records Barry Bonds's record breaking* home run only to realize the crappy video quality

“It's amazing to witness historical events first-hand, but it's even cooler when you can record it and take a physical copy of the memory home with you”
So says a Palm employee ,who recorded Barry Bonds's Historical* home run. Have a look at the crappy outcome.

It is high time Palm improved video and picture quality cause more and more people experience timeless moments on the go. Just a few months ago, I was fortunate to be in a Party with Jay-Z P.Diddy, Usher and 50 cent. I whooped out my Treo to take some memorable shots. Look at the nonsense results i got

I mean shoot ,the nokia n95 has a 5 megapixel camera for Christ Sake. You mean Palm can’t even do half as good as that?

This is way too funny

"I used to have a boyfriend. He was actually perfect: cute, funny, thoughtful, lots of chemistry, pulled my hair at all the right times. He was, for a period, even attentive--that is, until June 29, 2007, when the iPhone went on sale"

waiting in line for an iPhone

okay so I decided to get an iphone and jumped on the line outside the Apple store in kansas city at about 1.45 pm checking in as customer no. 73. Here is my experience so far.. first off, mactards are really retarded as proven by the guy sitting next to me. Its like every conversation has to end with "dude get a mac, its better than a pc". Tired of this foolishness, I was able to tune him out by watching some nfl network on my much embattled and no longer hip Treo. surprisingly the other guy next to me was a treo veteran dating back to the treo 300 days who surprising told me he is dumping his 700p immediately. Damn, even hardcore treo users are jumping ship already?  In fact, looking at the line there are about 20 treo users. This can't be good for mr. Colligan and the rest of the folks in sunnyvale. oh well, 2.5 hrs to go. Damn,if this mactard does not shut up, am might have to duck tape his mouth!!

Partying with Jay-Z, Diddy, Nelly, Usher, Young Jeezy and Jermaine Dupri at TAO

A boring Friday afternoon was interrupted by a call from a client and close friend who told me to hop on the next flight to Vegas. Since am not into boxing, I had no clue just what the heck was about to happen. Well it was one hell of trip, with the highlight of going to the Jay-Z party at TAO which ended up being a mini-concert featuring Jay-Z, Diddy, Nelly, Usher, Young Jeezy and Jermaine Dupri with 50 cent making a guest appearance.  At one point it dawned on me that I was standing in front of 6 rappers whose total worth is well over half a billion dollars who were straight wild'n out and performing their own hit records. P Diddy was quick to remind us all that we were “seeing something historic”. Putting the whole experience to words is not even possible. However, I have some pics I took you can see here.

You can also see high quality pics here.

Vista Blue Screen of Death

You would think with Vista, the blue screen of death would be behind us. Well maybe not. I was at a Sony Store and while looking at this Sony UX device running Vista, it crashed.

Google Maps thinks you can swim across the Atlantic Ocean

According to the Inquirer, if for some dumb reason you try and get directions from New York to London using Google Maps, it will suggest you swim across the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah!!
