…But i did get a 15in MacBook Pro ! ! ! I think I am going to wait about a few months to get the iPhone to drain out my Verizon contract a little more.

It has been a few years since I have been on a Mac but it only took a few days to reconnect and now I have fallen in love all over again. I have Apple Computers to thank for my deep love for technology that really started many years ago in College. Soon I will have Apple to thank again for the rebirth of that love.

If your like me your cell phone bill is about $300 a month, that was just becoming to much. I have had a Skype account for a few years now and have allows wanted to make the switch to more of a Skype dependent lifestyle. For about $60 a YEAR I went with Skype Pro, that gave me unlimited calls to landlines and cell phones in the US and Canada all year plus my own local phone number. To complete the deal I found a logistic cordless phone on clearance at Office Depot for about $35. Know for the topper I called my cell provider and lowered my bill  to a plan that is about $150 cheaper.

The quality of my Skpye calls are very good about 98% so overall I have no problem. Only thing is I need Skype to bring their cell phone/mobile  services to the US.

P.S. International calls are super inexpensive too

WebMovieNow.com carries many unique titles that can only be digitally purchased from their video on demand website. The website looks nice and I will undoubtedly be using their services quit a bit.  I am the type of person that really likes to look into a film and this is the place to get that, on some films they even have footage that cannot be found on the films DVD.

I will be watching this site and keep you posted on its progress.

There are many news stories going around about internet speeds in the United States losing speed over the next few years due to heightened video usage online. The United States already has some of the slowest Internet speeds among other countries, I would guess that in a line up the US would fall number 8 or 9 behind counties with much faster Internet speeds. I was wrong, see the chart below, the U.S is 15th.

This whole thing about slow Internet speeds came to my attention when I realized that I could not view a new website because my connection was to slow. That website is http://www.thehdweb.com. The site looks interesting and have a nice feel to it, I also noticed that they are working on increasing their website viability with a bunch of lame banner ads, I am almost positive that they are going to be disappointed with the results.. Unfortunately I have tried to use the site in many different locations and yet the site always tells me that my connection is not going to cut it for a full experience. After continuing the site runs ok but lots of buffering time, nonetheless the nice wide screen makes up for it in some ways. Overall it seems like they have had slow growth, Stumbleupon users have given the site one star, they have a ton of inbound links, that does not really mean anything, I would guess that the site is having trouble maintaining users and at that not getting more then 5k a month…ehhh more like 4k users a month.

If you live in many parts of California there is no way that you would be able to utilize the HD web because no Internet service provider would be able to offer it to you. In doing some research I found that Time Wanner Cable does not even list their broadband speeds on their website. I occasionally work in a office out of Los Angeles that says they have a T1 connection and their speeds are completely up and down and can not really use Joost or the Web in HD. When I visited Tulsa, Oklahoma I found that with COX you get the option of under 1MbpsS, 7Mbps or something like 14Mbps, now thats speed. Anyway I will be following this. but for know if where going to waste bandwidth lets get some quality HD site up.
