Xbox 360 GTA IV Sweepstakes Winner


I got an email notifying that I won Sixth place in the Xbox 360 GTA IV Sweepstakes. At first I was like cool, but then I didn't remember signing up. The next thing I did was to Google it and found this page and started to read what prizes 1-5 were and that is when I said WTF.

Fifth Prize 1,600 Microsoft Points. Approximate Retail Value (ARV) of Fifth Prize: $20.00. Sixth Prize: A one (1) month Xbox LIVE Gold subscription. ARV of Sixth Prize: $7.99. Seventh Prize: A three (3) month Xbox LIVE Gold subscription. ARV of Seventh Prize: $19.99. Eighth Prize: A one (1) year Xbox LIVE Gold subscription. ARV of Eighth Prize: $49.99.

Wait a minute fifth is worth $20, sixth is worth $7.99, seventh is worth $19.99 and eigth is worth $49.99. WTF. But really I suppose I can't complain for the fact that I never win anything. Too Funny....

Golden-Shellback (Coming Soon)


Golden Shellback Waterproof Coating from gCaptain.com on Vimeo.

This product looks amazing and when it comes out I will want to coat all of my electronics. The video is not the best made, but it gets its point across by showing you that you can drop your electronic device in water and it still works.

Netflix on your Xbox 360



There have been lots of rumors of Netflix coming to either the PS3 or Xbox 360. Now it is official it will be on the Xbox 360 and here is a video to show how it works. I wonder if they have a long term exclusive or just a short period of time because the PS3 would like some of this too. The only downside is that it won't be here until fall when the new dashboard is installed. I can't wait.

The Dark Knight



Go see The Dark Knight for it will be the biggest film of the summer. If you are lucky enough to have a chance to see it on Imax, then treat yourself because there is over 35 minutes of footage shot on Imax film. If you aren't lucky then you can wait for the Blu-ray version that will be out by Christmas and it will include the Imax cut.

My Top 5 iPhone Apps


Remote, you can control your iTunes or Apple TV from your phone just by clicking on title. Really Cool.



Pandora, works just like you were using it on your computer. Just create a free account online and start making play list by either song title or band name. It even works over Edge. Nice.



Shazam, just downloaded it today and so far it has named every song I have thrown at it. Basically all you do is turn this app on when your listening to a song on any device and it listens and then tells you what song it is. Amazing.



BoxOffice, want to know what movies are playing and see the rating, then go no further. Sweet.



AOL Radio, not a big fan of AOL, but this app is pretty cool. Miss that station you use to listen to when you live there, well if it is online then good chances you can listen to it here or no matter where in the country you are.

Super Chuck Norris Brothers



I want this for my Wii, not now, but yesterday. Chuck Norris probably beat the demo in his sleep. Did I say Demo, why yes I did, but only for the PC. You can find it here.

AT&T’s Text Messages Cost $1,310 per Megabyte


If you thought the price of gas was sickening, then check out techcrunch's article about how much those little text messages cost you. My buddy Justin and I were just talking about this the other night. No matter what carrier you have, if you have to pay X amount of dollars for a data plan why should you have to pay more for those little kilobytes for a text. I know, if they could figure out a way to charge us a fee to breathe they would, but seriously.
