Review: The Strangers

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

The Strangers is most likely one of the most boring horror movies I’ve seen. It involves a lot of “oh no someone popped out” horror which is the least entertaining and in my opinion more predictable. The story is pretty much just, oh everyone dies and there are no twists and nothing worth watching. This is an awful movie, I would never reccommend this to anyone.

Verdict: Pass

Digsby

digsby_196x196.jpgNeed a program that has your AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Facebook, Myspace, Email, and all your other messengers in one? Then Digsby is for you! It is available for Windows right now but Mac and Linux in a later date. This Multi-messanger includes support for facebook chat unlike Pidgin which I would also recommend. If you have a good PC and Facebook I would recommend Digsby but if you would like a more light weight program then try pidgin. I’ve used pidgin for years and it is a great program, but I’ve finally switched ot Digsby. Have Fun!

Verizon Fios, Truly Awful.

I recently just switched from Comcast cable and internet to Verizon Fios tv/internet. I’m getting about 10-40mb download and 2mb upload (15-25mb dl and 1mb upload on Comcast) on speedtest.net while those speeds are impressive it will seem to hang up for minutes on pages. Even after tweaking firefox, my dns, and many other things it still does it. The tv on the other hand has laggy menus due to a better graphical user interface and the menu seems to have options spread all over the place. Overall I wish I just stuck with Comcast because they have never given me a problem, I hope this helps someone choose a provider.
