iPhone Glitch

Ok guys, so as you may know the iPhone is one of the advanced technological products on the market and can pretty much do anything, even have a couple of glitches. This afternoon a guy on YouTube named Jon4lakers made it very clear that an iPhone glitch on the youtube application is evident. Here's what it is, go to the YouTube most viewed page on your iphone, then scroll down to the last video no most viewed today up at the top, and no matter how hard you try (for most of you) the last video from that section will not play. The one before that, and the one before that will play, just not that one. Now although this is a minor glitch, if you do want to watch the last video on most viewed today, your screwed.

YouTube Partnerships: Good or Bad?

I was browsing YouTube partnerships the other day and noticed that many people on YouTube are partners and make a very good amount of money, including fred, nigahiga, and shanedawsontv. Now I have two problems with YouTube accepting so many of these partnerships to people who have crappy content.

1. Nigahiga, this year, made nearly 150,000 dollars which is a very good amount of money for someone with a position of uploading videos to a site, but here's where it crosses the line. If you make 150,000 or even 70,000 dollars with uploading videos to a site, I and many others would probably have their career lined out and would might become LAZY! Now as you may know America really doesn't need lazy people in society right now, and certainly being a YouTube partner as your career may pay well, its not a solid job.

2. Eventually people get older, and if you have about 2 million subscribers like fred between the ages of 9 to 13 eventually they will get older and stop viewing your videos and stop going on YouTube because they have jobs. So if you don't get views, you don't get money. Without money, you stop producing and when you stop producing, you become unemployed and then you are once again you are nothing in society.

My point is is that you can't live off YouTube forever. You have to get a real job with real money and work for it. I'm not saying that nigahiga, fred, or shanedawson aren't great at what they do because their not. I am subscribed and love to watch videos of nigahiga and shanedawson, not fred cause he sucks. I am just saying that you can't rely on people forever and must stop living in the moment.

Disclaimer: I do realize that this post is geared towards nigahiga and shanedawson but they aren't the only ones who make tons of money off of YouTube. They are just the ones who make the most and I must give props to them and the most love to and respect. You guys rock!

Power Mac G4 Upgrade Part One.

Hey Guys! This is my first post on thecreativeone.tv and I really hope that you enjoy reading my blog posts!

Recently I bought a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver, with 733Mhz G4 processor, 256mb RAM, No hard drive and the the crumby 32mb standard graphics card. From the moment i got the machine I was impressed with the design of the machine and even by today's standards compared to some PC's you see around today, the Power Mac is still a beautiful machine.

I really wanted to upgrade the machine to bring it back to date, to hopefully run some programs that i run on my Mac Pro and run as a media center and such.

To upgrade my Power Mac i bought a 120gb western digital hard drive, 1gb RAM from Crucial Ram and PCI usb hub. 

The parts went in the machine nicely and after a few hours work i was running 10.4.11 on the Power Mac and it was running pretty quick for today. But i had a few more problems, the machine was very loud, and the graphics card couldn't keep up when running YouTube videos etc, which is expected. Two things that would really bug me.

I went down to PC World (The name is really ironic to say i was going to be putting the parts in a Mac) and i bought three new silent fans, one that would replace the fan cooling the CPU, another to replace the big 120mm fan that was cooling the majority of the computer, and the last one that was blowing air out of the power supply unit.

I have on phrase to say, Mac's do not like to be ripped to pieces. It was a nightmare trying to get all of the fans out of the mac, and then replacing them with all new ones, but after a few hours and several scuffed knuckles, I had replaced every fan inside the Power Mac. 

All the pain was definitely worth it though as when the Power mac was all back together it was considerably quieter than it previously was. Next up was the graphics card.

Now for financial reasons, the cheapest way for me to upgrade the Power Mac's graphics card, was to buy a PC Graphics card and flash it for use with a Mac, easier said than done. The graphics card came, we popped it into an old PC i had laying around and booted up Windows XP.

We created an MS DOS CD, which is considerably hard to make than creating an MS DOS floppy disc and booted into MS DOS, to find out, to flash the graphics card we needed to use a floppy disc, which naturally, because floppy discs are nearly as old as me, I don't have a floppy disc drive or any floppy discs, so it was time to scavenge around.

Now luckily because a friend of mine, has old computers for testing and upgrading, he could find me an old floppy disc drive we could pop into the PC we was using to flash the graphics card, again because he'd never had a need for floppy discs, he didn't have any.

So more work had to be done, I had to go onto trusty eBay and buy some floppy discs, something I thought i'd never do, this morning, a packet of floppy discs landed on my door mat. Stay tuned for an update, and I hope you will enjoy my blog posts in time to come!

Could Bing Overtake Google?

Bing is a search engine that was made to compete with Google, Yahoo and other notable search engines. This was big news for Microsoft and the tech industry. However, many non-techys dont even know what Bing is. Microsoft aired many adds for Bing but they were somewhat meaningless and boring. After watching the add several times I still didn't know what Bing was. 

I honestly dont think that Bing will ever catch on. Everyone, and I mean everyone uses Google. Why change? Google is a great search engine, quite possibly the best in the world. I use Google all the time and have it bookmarked within my browser. Why go to the trouble to change that bookmark to Bing when Google works perfectly fine. I think the main point in why most people won't change from Google to Bing is because Google works seamlessly with no trouble. Why try to fix something that isn't broken?

Many people, including myself, have given Bing a fair chance. But when your using Bing, you realize something... It's not Google!

Final Verdict: Bing will not overtake Google.

Thanks so much for reading,

Gus
