My Fun With Replacing A Keyboard.

I recently got a hold of an Asus K53Z laptop that I am currently selling. Upon getting it through craigslist the guy that I bought it from was a little shady to say the least. I bought it for cheap and figured there was something wrong with the laptop that he wasn't telling me (aside from the upper right hinge coming off so when you open the laptop the top shell opens and aside from it missing several keys. I fixed the hinge and ordered a keyboard for it. Got the keyboard last night. Figured it would be simple ( I have had several of these laptops and never had a problem) upon taking the keyboard off I notice it wasn't coming off. It was super glued...literally there was super glue at the bottom of it. After I ripped it off and installed the new one it was a job well done but seriously that keyboard wouldn't budge. I took a pic and you can notice the two keys missing and how bent and messed up the frame is after tearing it off.....

Why I wont get a Galaxy S5

Lets just say I didn't have a MacBook Pro or an iPad and I was looking around for a new phone. Obviously I have an iPhone at the current time which having all iDevices makes it so much easier for me as for as connecting and having everything together. Several months ago I had a Galaxy S4 for a while. I used it for about two weeks and crawled back quickly to my iPhone. It still had the same issues that I had with my old HTC Evo and my old LG Optimus. The background would move and shake weirdly. The pictures would not crop right. Anyback ground I would get I couldnt have the whole background availiable unless the scrolling feature was turned on. I downloaded apps to try to fix it. No solution. The lag of the phone in general was just obsurd for me. I think its only possible to go from and android to an iPhone. I don't think its going to be possible to go from iPhone to android. Its just to much of a hassle. I know kit kat. I understand how to use it...quite well actually. Its just not as smooth as its competition. I am sure the S5 will still have the same issues. If I hold an S5 and it does not have those issues I still wouldn't do it mainly because all the devices I have are Apple. This is not to say that android isn't for you. This is just to say that the S5 will surely more than likely probably have the same issues as it does. Now me personally I am a nit picky guy. The wallpaper stuff drives me crazy. When things force close and lag out that drives me even more mad. If those things dont matter to you, than thats fine. The S5 does have good specs overall. It wont be the worst......but it wont be the best either.

The How I Met Your Mother Finale

Well. A dynasty of  a TV show died tonight. I remember the show airing in 2005 ( I was still in high school). I immediately found it entertaining and hilarious. Through the years I have watched TV shows and most of them have ended. Some endings worse than others. In 2009 I remember stating that the mother was dead. Well look who was right. The show left me with some unanswered questions. How does Barney feel about Ted and Robin getting back together. I wonder if Barney had anything to do with the mother of the baby. The Barney and his daughter scene had me almost crying....ok I was crying. Can you blame me? Its been a show I have followed since 2005 and I have become emotionally attached to the characters. The writers of that show Craig Thomas and Carter Bays have done an amazing job with that show. I would like to see some of these actors/actresses in more films to come..now that they have more time on their hand. Tonight was the finale. How do you feel about the last episode. Are you depressed about it? Do you not really care? I know this is not a tech related blog post but felt the need to write about the show ending tonight. Leave a comment about what you think!

Why I Probably Would Not Buy Google Glass

Today Google announced a partnership with the Luxottica Group which happens to be the owner of Ray Bans, Oakley and several other big eyeglass brands. I'm guessing the obvious that they did this to make the google glass more fashionable and add some design overall to the mix. This is a good idea but regardless I am going to opt out of the Google Glass purchase. Lets face it your gonna look at over 1000 bucks just to get your hands on one of these. Lets just state the obvious...its not really time for a pair of glasses like this yet. The one thing that scares me most is how non user friendly this device is. Sure the concept is cool but lets be honest on a day to day life. Your walking and you hit a wall and your glasses fall off your face...BOOM a thousand bucks down the drain. Sure it doesn't happen all the time but it happens. Personally I would just be scared about walking into a wall and the main "Computer" part of the glasses would smash into my retina of my eyeball and cause me to die instantly but thats unlikely to happen. I just cant see the thought of having something on my face that displays information and notifications. I wear a pebble but thats on my wrist (which I have to say I love) but it doesn't get in the way and I am sure the google glasses wont be waterproof maybe water resistant. What are you going to do if your just taking a daily stroll down the street with your Google Glasses and it starts to rain. You have to put the glasses in your pocket or something and risk breaking them or scratching them. Even if you have the case are you sure to bring it everywhere you go. I know these are questions that are hypothetical to say the least but they are questions. iPhone theft in New York (and other big cities) are one of the main things to be stolen off of people on trains or on the streets. How easy will it be to steal a grand off of someones face. I would say quite simple. That would also scare me especially since about a month ago someone tried to snatch my iPhone out of my hand when I was walking my dog about 3 months ago. Luckily the guy didn't have a death grip on the phone and missed. What if I was wearing Google Glasses....Would it have been easier to that guy to steal them. What I am simply asking is this simple question. Is it a smart purchase? If it is. State why.

My Retina Macbook Pro

So. First off I wanna take the time to say goodbye to a very special friend and explain the story of how I got my new friend. (by friends I mean computers....I don't have "Human Friends") There I was in late 2012 I bought a 2007 white Macbook for 140 bucks I had the plan to at least sell it for 250 maybe 300. I get a text from a guy that has a Lenovo E430 laptop and he wants to do a trade for the macbook. Now lets just be honest that guy was not too bright. The macbook had crappy specs. To be honest I don't even remember them. The Lenovo however was a very great computer. 2.5 processor turbo boost 3.10 8 gigs of ram and a 500 gig hd. Since than I have bought and sold several laptops some macbooks, macbook pros, asus and other lenovo laptops. Recently though I had bought a 2010 Macbook Pro. It was the standard intel duo core processor (not an i5 :( and it had 8 gigs of ram. I bought the macbook for 450 and sold it recently for 800. Now what I have done is I traded my precious Lenovo and added 400 cash to a brand new Retina Macbook Pro. i5 512 gigs of flash storage. Needless to say I am in love and I will not sell it. I think its safe to say I will not be going back to pc any time soon. There are future plans to build me a new gaming pc but thats in the future. Thanks for reading
