The Possible Future of Blackberry and Bluetoothing

Well as the article states this is just a rumor. But imagine the possibilities of having a bluetooth watch that can instantly transfer info from your phone. That would be amazing. I would pay to have such a thing. Well that's what RIM developers are working on.

Possibly in a watch format. Being able to send BB mail SMS messages, and even sending music to other bluetooth devices. It would be cool to have, especially in a job cell phone use on the job isn't wanted.





The picture is only a concept:


Rumor: BlackBerry Bluetooth watch coming soon http://viigo.im/0ymH



Oh and here is a sneak peak of the BlackBerry Storm 2 9520 aka Odin

What do you think about something like this, leave a comment. And as always 1 luv.

Estimated 230 MPG? What!?


Wow so big news for GM. They unveil there new hybrid electric car the Chevy Volt. Now the big news is that claims to have an estimated 230 Miles Per Gallon. This all due to its electric engine. Yes electric engine. The Chevy Volt has an electric and gas engine. So how do they come to this conclusion of 230 MPG? Well research experts say:

Mike Duoba from Argonne National Lab devised a method to determine the MPG of an EREV; first the car is driven from a full battery until it reaches charge-sustaining mode, then one more cycle is driven. If we use the highway schedule, the first 40 miles are electric. One more cycle is 11 more miles. If the Volt gets 50 MPG in charge sustaining mode, it will use .22 gallons of gas for that 11 miles. Thus 51 miles/.22 gallons = 231.8 MPG.

So what the cost of something like this go for? Well MSRP is saying $40,000. But with a government tax credit will drop the price down to about $32,000 which will help more back in taxes. And the reason for the government tax credit is because the car is eco friendly. Now the good news about it is that because of you purchasing this you will get a tax break on the next tax season. Yes you can write this car off as a tax deduction.
Anyway we will see how this turns out when the car is released. So what's your opinion on this leave a comment. And 1 luv

Weekend Wrap Up

Wassup every body its me again Mr. Moe $ here for my 1st weekend wrap up. It has been a pretty crazy week at least by my standards. I mean 1st there was the chargers fining Antonio Cromartie $2500 for twittering about the food being crappy at training camp. Which to me was insane. I mean like I said be for its not like the guy was divulging info on some new ultra top secret play they were working on. So it ended up bringing up a debate. Are big corporations or organizations going to start putting a ban or censor on use of such social networking apps and sites for their athletes or employees. Only time will tell. Only time will tell.

Haha and speaking of apps and social networking sites. This week pretty much all network sites went down due to DDoS. I mean this thing put twitter almost out of commission. Facebook was almost done as well but managed to hang with its service. Twitter was out most of the day but returned later that evening. But not at full strength. It didn't fully comeback strong till about a day later.

And speaking of coming back strong, Orlando Magic's Rashard Lewis was found with elevated testosterone levels. This resulted in a 10 game suspension for the player. He later apologized to his fans and asked for forgiveness. Just another player caught up in a scandal, that's what it is.

And Big Ben Roethlisberger has been linked to an alleged sexual assault charge. But the credibility of the charge was compromised when a former coworker of the accuser stated that she didn't not seemed upset and was rather happy. So wow.

Well wraps it up for this first weekend wrap up. See guys next weekend. And this week is a good 1 for you all. 1 luv

Sex Scandal For Big Ben?


Yes I guess even the mighty Big Ben Roethlisberger is vulnerable to attack. Apparently a Andrea McNulty has filed a civil suit against him. Claim she was sexually assaulted.

Roethlisberger vows to fight 'reckless' civil suit - http://shar.es/Iwbz
Roethlisberger denies these allegations as put in this statement:

Roethlisberger statement:
"I did not sexually assault Andrea McNulty. Saturday was the first that I learned of her accusations. Her false and vicious allegations are an attack on my family and on me. I would never, ever force myself on a woman. I want to fight to protect my family and my reputation. I'm not going to discuss my private life or this civil case in the media. I'll respond to her outrageous allegations in the appropriate forum. I have an obligation to our fans, to my teammates, to my coaches and everyone in the organization to remain focused on the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I will do that. The allegations against me are reckless and false. As much as I'd like to answer every one's questions, I'm going to respect the legal process and I am confident that the truth will prevail. Thank you."

So first reactions as fans of Roethlisberger is to ask, well if it happened in the past why wait till now to bring it up. The truth who knows. She could of been keeping quiet out of fear. out of an arrangement between parties, or for hoping maybe he might come back to her. Who knows, nobody but the two parties involved. Now history has proven and caught celebrities before in these situations. And rape is nothing to mess with. All parties stories have to be heard. And wait for the courts decision. And like I've said before, my first reaction is to believe Big Ben, and believe that he is innocent. But only evidence can save him.

But then I came across this article:
Former coworker says accuser bragged about being with Ben Roethlisberger http://viigo.im/0uRH

Which brings up so much more into the case. So what could really be going. Go ahead and read post your comments I'm interested in your opinion. And once again 1luv to all.

Banned for High Testosterone Levels?


So in yesterdays news it reported that Orlando Magic's Rashard Lewis was found with elevated levels of testosterone in his system resulting in a 10 game suspension.

Magic's Lewis banned 10 games, blames supplement http://viigo.im/0udJ

So according to sources Lewis was taking an over the counter substance that he didn't realize contained a now new banned substance on the leagues list. The good thing about him is he is accepting responsibility for his actions. And he is asking his fans for his forgiveness. Which to me is an adult thing to do.

But it brings things up. Like the dangers of players buying over the counter supplements. Its almost as if they don't know who to trust. Well not so much trust but what to take. Here these players are taking herbal supplements to stay fit and healthy. But its almost ruining their career. But I'm almost sure the supplement company isn't going to stop putting whatever it is in these supplements.

It comes to a point that maybe the players shouldn't even take these herbal supplements and just stick to regular pills such as Vitamins A, B, C, D, E, garlic and echenacia also sum centrium. You know regular vitamins. Taking these other supplements is not worth your career. Anyway what do you think hit me up. Leave a comment. And as always 1 luv.

DDoS



So apparently what I thought was wrong with my blackberry wasn't. I was reading through my Viigo and found this.




Denial of Service Attacks Being Investigated by Google, Twitter, Facebook http://viigo.im/0tLY from Viigo

Facebook Problems Also the Result of DDoS Attack http://viigo.im/0tLV from Viigo

Facebook Down. Twitter Down. Social Media Meltdown. http://viigo.im/0tLQ from Viigo




These are three articles talking about this DDoS or Distributed Denial of Service attack. From what I read it hit all over today. And I can say this is true because around 8:30am and 9:00am I thought there was something wrong with my Viigo then maybe my blackberry. But obviously I was wrong about both. Ur more than welcome to hit the links to the articles. But from what I read, this isn't the 1st time its happened. Its happened also in the past to other major websites one being amazon.com. Wich it lost them so much revenue.




But apparently Google is now heading an investigation into this. Which would make sense being they are one of the top websites in social networking. And they would not want such a thing to happen to them as well. I can say this much though with twitter and facebook im sure social networking came to a stand still. And that literally sucked. Whats your opinion on this, your comments are welcomed. Once again 1luv to all.
