		<description><![CDATA[A Small and simple Router made by Belkin which can have some issues ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Routers can be a painful thing these days, my Belkin N1-Vision Router brokedown because of a lightning that hit my ISP&#8217;s network and probably burned the insides of it and i decided to get a new router while they&#8217;re trying to fix it since i can&#8217;t live without Wi-Fi these days.</p>
<p>The N150 Router design can be described as a &#8220;Cute&#8221; Router since it&#8217;s really small and simple,  besides that i found it &#8220;Small and annoying&#8221; when i installed it because Ethernet Cables are heavy and this little thing gets dragged all over the place by them, the setup was pretty easy having some background with Belkin Routers but if you are getting one of these, <strong>don&#8217;t waste your time with the Installation CD, </strong>It&#8217;s easier to setup everything from the Browser Setup page by going to http://192.168.2.1/</p>
<p>I had some issues connecting my devices to it, a computer i have in my living room didn&#8217;t detect it, no idea what i did around the settings so it pops up, but at the end of the day it worked out, the LED Display lights are Really nice, they tell you when your network is down, what is and what isn&#8217;t connected, and even security, it even has a little button to Turn off security (i think)</p>
<p>I&#8217;d give it 3 out of 5 Stars for being very annoying to install, but for the 50$ it costs you won&#8217;t regret it after setting it up, but if you have the money get a Belkin N1 Vision</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="clear: both;">I previously owned some 30$ Sony Over the ear headphones which were pretty great, had them for almost 10 years, i already had some personal issues with them which i came across with them after years of usage, like a squeaky plastic body which makes noise when you move, a too long cable, and the lack of folding so i decided to go for a more premium 100$ &#8211; level with Some Pioneer  SE-NC70S which are headphones which cost only 100$ but compete with the 200$ Bose / Beats by Dre, dare i say the Bose Quiet Comfort too? maybe not, but those cost 3 or 4 times more and they&#8217;re not twice good.</p>
<p style="clear: both;">My active Noise canceling experience:<br />
Active Noise Canceling is an electronic system which has some mics on the outside of the earcups which analyzes the frequency of the noise and throws out your music in a certain way that it doesn&#8217;t affect quality but eats up part of that noise, they claim to cancel 80% the noise, probably not true, but it cancels way more than some iPhone Headphones which is awesome.</p>
<p style="clear: both;">My SRS Experience<br />
This SRS system really changes the music to a way every instruments gets heard like from another part from the room, and really makes your music sound so much better, the single downside is that you<strong> have</strong> to have Noise-Canceling on too which probably eats more battery</p>
<p style="clear: both;">Batteries<br />
This headphones use 2 AA Batteries for Noise-canceling mode and for SRS Noise Canceling mode, they claim that the battery last 8 &#8211; 30 hours depending on the type of battery, to be honest i haven&#8217;t finished the batteries that it came with and i probably already listened to them 12 hours with SRS and Noise-Cancelling mode a huge advantage over the Bose Quiet Comfort 3 Which uses Rechargeable Li-on batteries, and the worst part about those 300$ headphones is that they don&#8217;t work without having your battery charged, these do and they still deliver great sound</p>
<p style="clear: both;">Comfort<br />
These pair of headphones is pretty comfortable, they fold easily and come with a nice bag for traveling, wearing them is pretty comfortable, however i felt a bit tired of wearing them after 2 hours and had to take them of for 5 minutes, it can get pretty hot in them too because the isolate very well, it&#8217;s not a huge deal for me because i make pauses anyways but i know some people which have headphones for 8 &#8211; 10 hours which probably wouldn&#8217;t like these, however this headphones are for the go and they do the job pretty well</p>
<p style="clear: both;">Build Quality<br />
These plastics do not make any sounds when moving around compared to the Sony ones, they fold really nicely to 1/3 of their opened size however i feel a bit insecure about the way you wear them by flexing them a bit, i have a pretty big head, but that&#8217;s not the only reason to flex them, even someone as wide as an apple needs to flex them</p>
<p style="clear: both;">Price<br />
The price is brilliant, it&#8217;s under the prices of Audiophile / DJ Headphones and over the Low quality / Low end ones, which is a great spot that isn&#8217;t filled by many manufacturers these days you only got the 50$ sony&#8217;s and the 200$ Bose&#8217;s, beats by dre and other high end ones</p>
<p style="clear: both;">Review</p>
<p style="clear: both;">A great budget noise canceling alternative for people which care about how their music sounds, Pioneer is a great alternative for budget, good quality headphones</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am not a huge fan of Houses in Real Life, my main reason is that they&#8217;re hard to sustain, I feel there&#8217;s the same problem in Second Life, you Buy a 1000 prim land and you have to use 300 Prims to have a pretty house with a decent garden and then just furnish 25% of your house because you ran out of prims, i usually calculate that you need 15 Times more prims than the prim amount of your house so you actually can show your creativity and have the stuff you like inside and outside.</p>
<p>The Main reason i like Linden Homes is that you don&#8217;t have to sustain the structure and that you can&#8217;t upgrade to get more prims, that might be a very odd reason, but i like to be able to go low prim and be happy with what i have than having to upgrade my land and paying more</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t got a Linden Home yet i suggest you to get the Meadowbrook Quad one because it&#8217;s one of the smallest ones which make it great for such small prim amounts as 117 prims</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Targeting a false market is never a good idea even if the market is big since everybody looses]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago the &#8220;Clash of the Titans&#8221; movie came out and so did the trailers, i was a bit excited for the movie since i really loved the first one but once i watched the Trailer i lost all my interest, they advertised it as a bloody/hardcore movie instead of a Titans one which has a historical mean too, coincidentally Sam Worthington stars in that movie (the avatar guy) which directly took me to the title &#8220;Avatar 2&#8243; (yes i hated avatar)</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/q6CJenNMsb4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/q6CJenNMsb4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Maybe i exaggerated about the &#8220;Bloody/hardcore&#8221; Description but some sort of rock tune for the whole ad is totally inappropriate for this kind of movie, probably &#8220;Bloody/hardcore&#8221; movies have a big market but it&#8217;s always bad advertising to target a wrong audience because the people which will watch it will be disappointed and the ones which had some interest lost it</p>
<p>All i know is that I&#8217;ll just rent that movie at Blockbuster when it&#8217;s out <img src='http://alvisl.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It might be a bit unusual for me to talk about such hacks on this blogs but i want to do it to keep peeps away from wasting time on forums and paying for stuff that doesn&#8217;t work <img src='http://alvisl.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The latest 3GS iPhones for sale are MC models (mine is one of them), which have the newest bootloader which doesn&#8217;t allow you to downgrade the OS, i Repeat you can&#8217;t unlock, to check if you have a MC Model go to <strong>Settings &gt; General &gt; About &gt; Model </strong>if it starts with <strong>MC</strong> you can&#8217;t downgrade it, also check the Modem Firmware, if it is 05.12.01 unlocking won&#8217;t work either</p>
<p>I went through all the fake posts and stuff, you can&#8217;t, however the great iPhone Hacker Geohot (George Hotz) is working on an untethered  Jailbreak, there is no release date for it but it will be pretty soon since iPhone OS is probably coming out in June and 3.2 might come out before that so you can&#8217;t expect it to be now, but it will happen someday</p>
<p>I will update this post as soon as it&#8217;s possible, i hope i&#8217;ll be ASAP<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Coming soon is a Thai horror movie made in 2008 which just got released now, I can call it a hardcore horror movie, you get scared many times, and their also some funny parts in it, the movie&#8217;s storyline isn&#8217;t the greatest however it&#8217;s a great movie to get someone scared (like myself) which i woke up after just two hours of sleep when  saw the movie, because it has this Deja-vu-ish experience which transfers the situation to the watcher.</p>
<p>The movie is about a guy called Shane which works at a cinema and is into the piracy business because he desperately needs money, the beginning is a bit confusing (especially if you don&#8217;t know Thai) about a new movie movie was coming soon about an old woman which takes her children&#8217;s eyes out and that she gets hanged by the citizens of her city as soon as they find out.</p>
<p>Shane feels haunted by this woman so he starts to research about it and he finds out that the movie was based on a real story and the actual real-life woman wasn&#8217;t the problem, the person which was haunting him was the actress of the movie which got hanged accidentally in the shooting of the movie which still got published.</p>
<p>They&#8217;res this whole lingo between reality &#8211; nightmares &#8211; jokes and so on, a usual movie which haunts you and kills you like in the ring, however the ring is very soft compared to this. However i think it&#8217;s a good movie to get yourself and your friends scared, but it&#8217;s not art, i feel that the story narration is a bit superficial, you feel that the movie is already getting long in about 2/3 of the total time however the movie is just 84 minutes long however they&#8217;res rather a lot of stuff to tell and they can&#8217;t highlight the most important parts.</p>
<p>You really get into the storyline  especially if you watch the movie at the cinema, however the tape won&#8217;t really kill you <img src='http://alvisl.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  My first impression was, damn this movie was sucky/disappointed me however after a few hours of being able to process everything i think its a good movie, i can&#8217;t wait for a high-budget american remake of it which might be better, even if the latest american remakes of horror movies weren&#8217;t that great like Spanish REC vs. Quarantine</p>
<p>I&#8217;d give the movie a 7 out of 10</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Precious, a movie about the life of an obese 16 year old girl physically and verbally abused by her mother, raped twice by her father is a very dramatic story about her progress in life and how she goes on in life after so much pain.</p>
<p>Her sadness / depression is very interesting, she is very quiet, but whenever she has to talk she does it loudly, she is full of hate however i felt confused in some parts, when precious looks at her photo album she sees a talking picture of her mother which is very positive and full of love, but her real mother hates her, i first thought her mother died and it was her aunt or something but it prooved to be her mother, which hated her so much because she kept thinking that it was Preciouses fault that he went away after raping her.</p>
<blockquote><p>Life is hard. Life is short. Life is painful. Life is rich. Life is&#8230;.Precious.</p></blockquote>
<p>I didn&#8217;t fully like the part where precious got AIDS, i rather think they sneaked that in for the message thing, because i really think that after so many things that happened to her AIDS already sounded ridiculous overall the movie is huge, it sends you a big big message about the life of some, i really liked the movie, I would give it a 8 out of 10</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When i buy something lately i don&#8217;t care about the performance, disadvantages and even price, because it isn&#8217;t everything that matters.</p>
<p>I bought a unlocked 3GS iPhone 4 months ago here in Mexico, it costed me 900 &#8211; 1000 US$ most of my friends were like &#8220;Dude you&#8217;re crazy! you can buy a computer with that amount of money&#8221; but the reality is that with 1000$ i wouldn&#8217;t get the high amounts of satisfaction from a laptop, nor anything else, and i knew that because i owned an iPod Touch since October 2007, If you consider that something is more than what it is, pay whatever you can/want if you think it&#8217;s worth it.</p>
<p>I consider three important things:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Time -</strong> The time you spend with the device, the time you save with it. Looking at Number 2 i say that you can&#8217;t make time, you can make money.</li>
<li><strong>Money &#8211; </strong>You can&#8217;t go crazy, spending a lots of money can be exaggerated, however, pay as much as it is worth it, not more, and if you find something for less, buy it for less <strong>just IF </strong>it gets you the same satisfaction</li>
<li><strong>Satisfaction &#8211; The most important part</strong>, the happiness, the good mood you get by using it, or rather sparing a bad mood for using a device that doesn&#8217;t satisfy you.</li>
</ol>
<p>Those are the 3 keys to be happy with the device.</p>
<blockquote><p>as long as it makes you happy, have it</p></blockquote>

<p>Plot by Mike Weiner:</p>
<p>Stuntman Mike is a former Hollywood stunt race car driver who targets and kills women with his &#8220;death-proof&#8221; stunt car. In Act I, Mike surfaces in Austin, Texas to target a group of women whom he knows; Jungle Julia an outgoing, dope-smoking, radio DJ/fashion model meeting her old school friends for a night on the town whom are sentimental model Arlene, and local bad-girl Shanna, as well as bar-nut hippie Pam who tries to make Mike notice her, unaware of his sociopath and misogynist tendencies. In Act II, Stuntman Mike surfaces in Tennessee where he randomly picks another another group of women to stalk all of whom work in the motion picture business; Abernathy is a make-up girl and stand-in wanting a change of pace in her life. Lee is a naive B-movie actress. Kim is a tough-minded stunt woman always wanting action. And Zoe is a fellow stunt woman from New Zealand visiting her friends. However, the second set of girls proves more though to get, and because of a combination of bad luck and Stuntman Mike&#8217;s carelessness, the girls decide to turn the tables on their tormentor for revenge of their own&#8230; <em>Written by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/SearchPlotWriters?Mike%20Weiner">Mike Weiner</a> from <a title="imdb.com" href="http://www.imdb.com" target="_blank">imdb.com</a></em></p>
