New Tech

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I recently purchased a ps4 and wanted to share my feelings about its "worth" to everyone. I purchased the 499$ bundle which came with Battlefield 4 and a years worth of PSN+, I luckily snagged an order the launch day on amazon so I was only a few days behind the rest of people. After getting it surprisingly fast (ordered friday got to my house on monday), I plugged it in and booted it up. What came next was interesting, a decent amount of people had hdmi issues, or they had other issues including getting a console dead on arrival. My console during setup had some issues, at least with the hdmi cable that it came with it, I had a slight heart attack as my signal went from clear to fuzz to clear again. I switched the provided cable with my wii-u's gray cable and it works perfectly! I have had only a single freeze in my whole playing experience which beats my ps3, and so far no overheating or other issues. Now should you get it? If the fear of something going wrong with th...

Hey everyone thought id post and give you the opportunity to check out my other blog where I review games! I just recieved a ps4 and I plan on reviewing Contrast, Battlefield 4, Warframe, and Blacklight. If you would like to check that out visit http://dansgamereview.blogspot.com/ More new tech info to come! (My controller with its super dust attracting base)

A new take on circuits, this simple roller-ball pen allows you to draw on paper and create circuits in seconds. Similar products are not nearly as functional on normal paper because of how long they take to dry, and how much product you actually have to use making the circuits. The price for a single pen is 20$ which is a bit expensive for a single pen but it should last a good while!

Imagine you live in the middle of nowhere or you are travelling into a rural area, you dont expect to have internet access right? Well now a few companies including google have developed systems using balloons and high speed internet containers to provide internet practically anywhere its needed. This can be very helpful after disasters, providing a connection in hard to reach areas and has tons of other applications.

The Google Chromecast is for the people who want to turn their ordinary flat screen tv into a smart tv, so sorry for everyone still using those big ol' crt tvs (thats me). The dongle is $35 and is very small, including the hdmi extender and charging cable. This little device will be able so stream content from your mobile devices or directly from your chrome browser on a pc/mac. Opinions: I personally don't think most should get this unless they are a die hard fan of chrome and google for the fact that you can get android computers with a very similar form factor, expandable memory, extra ports, and most likely a faster processor for only about double the price. Android hdmi dongles have been around for awhile now and are pretty popular and effective so I don't really see to much of a point to the chromecast but its still young and could have some tricks up its sleeves.

Do you have a gratuitous amount of friends and hope to keep track of them? Well the Ps4 is allowing 2000 friends on your list for an unparamounted amount of companions. This is vastly more than any previous console on the market, including steam which is on the pc. It should be interesting if they eventually change the amount or if they will keep the very high number, I guess we'll just have to wait and see but I hope they keep 2000 :D
