Technology week~! Sorta...
This week has been most rewarding for me in terms of technology! I have always been a bit techno-phobic but I think most of it is actually attributed to my laziness to learn new things.
My dad for one, when he first used the computer in front of me, it was attrocious. Simple things like scrolling a mouse over an icon and double clicking seemed to be a mountainous task for him. Now here I am, aging in a society where kids create websites and iphone softwares at the age of 8, fearing if one day my existence will be obsolete simply because I cannot catch up with the times of technology.
A few months ago when I discovered rapidshare, the speed of downloading was so amazingly fast that I though such technology of bandwith would only be available in ten years time, yet here it is, at my doorstop, the convenience of a link and password. Voila, you have Watchman in Dvd quality.
Which brings me to my second technology achievement this week. Linking my imac to my new (Ooh lala) LG 32 inch LCD TV via HDMI. The quality of the downloaded movie files seem enhanced on the LCD tv, or maybe it's just my imagination. Nonetheless, it's sweet! Suki!
Then there's the Nintendo Wii which my darling Alvina bought for me for my birthday in January. Apparently, the games are totally free if you download it from the net. Fuck the 60 bucks per original game. Cocksucking gamemakers earn enough money from us in the 90s when everything had to be original and a 4 mb game cost 90 bucks.
So the way to go is to download the ISO game file for Wii, then you gotta convert the region to USA so that it matches your modified Wii set. Burn the image to disk and there you have a totally new game for free! Woohoo!
Finally, a little old meets new. I managed to install an emulator in my Sony PSP to allow it to play original PS 1 games like Final Fantasy 7, which is probably the second best Final Fantasy story compared to 6.
Technology is so convenient when we have the time to grasp it. Anything is possible!
