The Tech Loft

Boy, am i ever tired. Today I completed Guitar Hero III on the easy level. I’m a little proud of myself but I don’t feel I truely completed the game. I think to completed the game one has to at least be at the HARD level, right? Slash in Guitar Hero III battling it out. But so far, this MEDIUM level is pretty challenging. I’m starting to miss alot more notes than on EASY AND I’m loosing the crowd which is making me end the gig before the song is completed (no good at all). Either way, it’s still good clean fun. I have beat Tom Morello on the medium level however now I’m battling Slash and he’s one tough mother to keep up with. Alot more missed notes than ever before people! Looks like I’m gonna have run through the tutorials and get some practice on technique. LOL!

Looking for a way to watch any movie or TV show on your multimedia powerhouse, Playstation 3? Here’s a step by step , if not a bit convoluted, method of getting nearly all your standard and high definition movies on your computer to play on your big screen using your PS3 (fair warning: this isn’t an easy install and click solution…not for the faint of heart)… Stream video to your Playstation 3 or http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/how-to/how-to-stream-any-type-of-video-to-your-playstation-3-046182

Months ago I posted a couple of articles on free software to download. In my list, I included CD Burner XP Pro 3.0.116 as the software of choice for burning cds. This morning I have upgraded my version of CD Burner XP Pro to version 4.0.020.367 and guess what happened? It was JUNK! Allow me to elaborate. So I downloaded and installed the newest version of CD Burner XP Pro. I ran it and right from the start it appeared to be VERY sluggish. Maybe you know what I’m talking about; you see the application pop up yet it’s unresponsive for 5 minutes. And ANY click in the application freezes it for another 5 minutes. SO DAMN ANNOYING. My advice is to not bother upgrading or to find something else that’s more recent. If I find anything, I’ll be sure to post it!

This post may be the most helpful post I’ve ever written for residence of Toronto and for many Canadian cities along the US/Canadian boarder. I know for a fact that when someone walks into a BestBuy of Futureshop here in Canada looking for an HDTV they are told that to take advantage of the crip clear picture you have to either subscribe to Bell ExpressVue or Rogers Digital Cable. To all my Canadian friends out there, that is a load of shit (for most of the nation)! Forget the big cable and satellite companies, ‘rabbit ears’ will get you even better HDTV reception. Since I live near Toronto, this topic will discuss receiving FREE TV in and around Toronto. So let’s get on with it shall we? In the US, the deadline has been given to all broadcasters that they must now broadcast digitally and turn off their analogue signal. So what signal are we talking about? Good old UHF and VHF. Yes, the technology our grandparents used when they came to this country is coming bac...

Video: PS3 vs. Wii – Apple Style

Well well well, it looks like someone’s been praying for Safari to be written for Windows. Apple Inc. has released Safari Public Beta 3 for Windows XP and I have to admit, I’m very excited. According to Apple’s website, Safari isn’t just the ‘world’s best browser’ but also ‘The fastest browser on any platform’. Here’s more ‘Safari loads pages up to 2x fastest than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2.’. I my opinion, ANYTHING is faster than Internet Explorer 7 that’s why I haven’t upgraded to IE 7. It’s not only is it slow, but I noticed it slows down several machines. Anyway, I think this is great news for Windows users who know that Apple’s shit is pretty reliable (those who don’t think so can leave a comment below. A comparison chart on Apple’s website show Safari has the quickest numbers for HTML Performance, Javascript Performance and Application Laun...
