Sony has really transformed itself in three years thanks to Howard Stringer. They have been the first to release the newest technology in TVs, the most powerful gaming system, and set the standard for next generation DVD (Blu Ray)
Their newest televesion sets, the XBR7 and XBR8, and the XLM40 series go on sale this December. 
I’ll give you a preview of the 52in XBR7. The XBR7 features a 240Hz refresh rate. That’s double the regular 120hz refresh rates that are in todays televisions. There was always negative reviews about 120hz refresh rates saying that motion blur was so smooth that some movies looked fake. Perhaps they may have fixed this with the higher refresh rates. It also looks as if it has a floating speaker. This will be great choice for those looking to get a Playstation 3. The Bravia XBR7 also has a high glossy finish, 4 HDMI inputs, and an input for wired and wireless Bravia Internet Link. This TV is also DLNA compatible so you can stream your music, and view pictures and movies. Pricing is yet to be announced but i’m predicting it will be about $4,499.99.I guessed this price because knowing Sony from their previous pricing they always started their XBR series at $3,899 and up
What do you think of the TV and do you think it’s worth $4,500 dollars?

I was one of the first people to download Google Chrome. I had been waiting all day. Literally. I was at uzees Wordpress blog (which is a good blog) and I refreshed the page every 10 minutes waiting for him to post the download link. It sounds fanboyish but I think i’m becoming a Google fanboy. It seems that everything they create, I find useful for everything I do on the web.
My favorite feature in this browser is the application feature. Now Google can dominate the desktop and the Online world. It works like this. Find a service (something like Gmail, or Hotmail) and then click create application. It will put an icon on the desktop so when you click it ur taken there instantly. No more having to open the web browser and type in the link. This definitely comes in handy for Google Docs. I have put together a group of products I use offline below:
Google Docs App= Microsoft Works
Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, App = Microsoft Outlook
Google RSS App = The built in Microsoft RSS in Vista
Google Photos App = Windows Photo Gallery
Google Notes = Microsoft One Note
Call me a Microsoft finatic but I rely on them for a lot of stuff. Now of course there are its limitations.
1. You still need an active internet connection to use the apps feature.
2. A quick print button would be useful
That’s all I can find so far. I have one suggestion for Google when they release the next update and that is,
Direct us to Google RSS when we click on an RSS link. I’m not sure if that’s possible but if it is i’d like it.
To download Google Chrome, go to www.google.com/chrome

These past two speeches from Hillary and Bill Clinton have been the greatest speeches that I’ve heard them say this entire year. They have completely thrown their support behind Obama and there was no hints or body language signs that they dont want him to win. What will the media say about the Clintons now? Perhaps they can shut up talking about them and spend more of the time that they normallly spend talking about the clintons towards John McCain. That would definitely shut John McCain up on his message saying the media is favoring Obama by giving him more coverage. It would also shut Jack Cafferty up on CNN who sits on his ass all day asking people questions about the Clintons to comment on his blog.
However knowing the media, like MSNBC’s Chris Matthews they will continue to do shows about HIllarys message. Here’s an example of what you might see on next weeks “Hardball with Chris Matthews”.
‘The Clintons have shown that they’ve thrown their full support behind Obama but, did Hillary Clinton do a good enough job convincing her dedicated hardcore supporters to vote for Obama?’
I’m sure we’ll see that. Also Here is a question that we might see on CNN’s Jack Caffertys blog.
‘Heres the question: Do you think the hardcore Clinton supporters believe Hillary and Bill met what they said in their speeches even though there was no sign that they didnt?’
Lets face it, without Hillary in the view, there really is nothing exciting to report about. They keep talking about her because they have no other interesting stories. I have a question though. What do you think the media will say about the Clintons from here on out?

I’ll be flat out clear. The PSP 3000 isnt worth buying really if you already have one. I just cant see a reason why someone would want to use skype on the PSP. It doesnt even have that great of battery life so if you just left it on with wi-fi, it woud die within 2 hours. The majority of Wi-fi access points these days are all secure. It would be better if they just release a psp phone. The good thing is that you can use it with Online Play but the majority of games they have dont even offer online play or voice support.
Perhaps they’re working out a deal with publishers and developers to include more online play and voice chat. That’s good.
The reason the PSP 2000 was worth the upgrade was because it was slimmer, lighter, faster, and included more themes. All the PSP 3000 offers is an embedded microphone and a brighter screen. But i’m sure most people believe the screen on the PSP 2000 is colorful and bright enough for pictures and videos. Instead of it being PSP 3000, it should have been called PSP 2500

Is it just me or did we all know that Obama was going to pick Joe Biden as his VP? I personally was hoping that he would pick Hillary Clinton. I think we all did. All the polls that asked who he should pick as Vice president all answered Hillary Clinton.
That’s just another hint that Obama will do the same as President Bush and ignore the publics interest. He’s already against offshore drilling, even though the majority of Americans want it. He refused to pick Hillary clinton as Vice President even though the majority of Americans wanted her as VP. I wonder what else he’ll be against. Oh and before you bash me about the offshore oil drilling thing, I know he’ll be open to limited offshore drilling. But he just recently said that and he only said it because of the polls.
I think he picked Joe Biden because of his national security experience. I wouldnt mind seeing Hillary Clinton as McCains Vice President or any democrat as McCain Vice President. If He does that he’ll probably knock Obama out by a landslide. Why?? Because a democrat on a republican VP and vice versa is making sure you will get stuff done no matter which party controls the house.

It’s a beautiful piece of software. From the image it looks like it has the keyboard buttons have a high glossy touch on it. That’s nice. But finger prints would annoy me since I like keeping my electronics clean. This can come in handy for everyone. I know for sure i’ll be using it. I send so many messages to people
This keyboard has a high glossy finish on the buttons
when i’m playing Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection Online. I hate having to use T9. It aggrevates me because everytime i type it takes me over to the word selection.
I wonder what it feels like in your hands though. Will it make the Playstation controller heavy? Will it always work? Does it drain the controllers battery quicker? I guess this i’ll get the answers when I actually get it. Price has been unspecified. What do you think of this new accessory?

I was messing the beta version of Microsofts online clould computing program called mesh. I really enjoy this. I no longer see a point fooling around with Windows Live Workspaces anymore (which I didnt like in the first place). The thing I enjoy the most about mesh is that you can synchronize your content with multiple computers all with the click of a button. You can even sync your PDA Windows Mobile phone with it. Since I have a Samung BlackJack II that can really come in handy. Plus I start college today and I think this application will be a great way for me to share my stuff with my friends.
So far though i’m still with Google. I like Google. I use them for everything. Documents, E-mail, Search, photos, Calendar. I use everything except blogger. But I think Google needs to expand on it’s online offering when it comes to syncing. Alot of people dont want to start their documents online. Google Calendar Sync for Outlook is a great start. Oh and sharing documents with others is a breeze and I enjoy it.
Live Mesh looks like the new online generation called cloud computing. It’s very unique and beautiful and super easy to use. I’ll wait and carefully evaluate my decision when it goes live whether or not I want too stick with google or move over to Microsofts side. But if I do go to Microsoft. I switch to all Microsoft services like Live mail, Live Calendar, Live Mesh, Live Search and others. I’m the type of person who likes to access everything in one place instead of going to other services for every need.

This is directly aimed at HIllary Pumas. First I want to say you’ve done a great job with your protests to get Hillarys name put on the ballot at the August 25th convention. Congratulations. You have all shown that speaking out makes a difference. But now is the time for you guys and all of us to unite. I know you wanted Hillary to be the nominee. I wanted her to be the nominee. I donated a lot of money ($40) too. Over the months as I continued to watch the media coverage I saw how everybody was beginning to talk more and more about Obama and less about McCain. That kind of tempted me to just vote for McCain on election day because of how bullish and biased the media was being. But i’m not going to do that because Hillary asked me to vote for Obama. Then the news came that she was getting her name placed at the convention for a roll call vote. I expected you PUMAs to end it right there.
What I didnt expect was that some of you still weren’t pleased with the results and are going to fight on to get her nominated.
Ok if you guys succeed at getting her nominated then you will hurt Hillary in the long run for the following reasons:
1. There is only a small percentage of PUMA’s vs the other people that want Obama to win.
2. If you succeeded then everybody who backed Obama will then turn around and probably not vote.
3. Hillary would lose the general election and then her claim “I’m the stronger candidate to take on John McCain” would be a lie.
4. The democratic party would definitely not be unified.
My point is that if you get her nominated, then you weren’t thinking about Hillary or anybody else. You were thinking only about yourselves. You arent looking that far into the future PUMAs. Most PUMA’s are happy that she gets a roll call vote. But for those of you who arent, I think its time to get your act together NOW. Please. For the sake of Hillary. Do it for her and for me. I (Chris Franklin) was a Hillary Clinton supporter. I’m backing Barack Obama not because I like him. But because Hillary asked me to vote for him.
FYI your not doing want HIllary wants if you dont want him to get elected. She’s done all this for you and now she’s asking you to do something for her and your going against it?? I just dont get it.

PlayTV is almost here!!!!! Sadly not for US owners. I think Sony should sell a DVR attachment for the US owners. It’s the closest thing that comes towards the PlayTV. If they released it, then it would sell like hot cakes. Sadly I dont think they’ll do that. We will have to just make use of the Playstation movie download store which i’m ok with. I dont watch much TV but i’m sure alot of other people do. One thing Europeans better do is upgrade their Playstation hard drives. Especially if they plan to record HD content.
Play TV is an external device for Playstation 3 that allows European owners to watch record SD and HD television. What you record is stored on the Playstation 3 and you can use your PSP to stream your recordings through remote play.
