Finally upgraded my desktop's RAM to 2 gigabytes

After a long wait, I have finally upgraded my Compaq desktop from 1 gigabyte of RAM to 2 gigabyte of RAM. My computer has been really slow mostly because of the installation Photoshop CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4. So I saved up money to buy some new RAM from Amazon.^^ 
The packaging right here. I thought I wound come in a box :'(.

 I have  now broken the evil seal that prevented me from accessing the insides.(Role-playing)
 The most powerful thing in this house is inside here^^ not really.
 It's twins! I thought that they were going to come in retail packaging with manuals just like human babies =0.
 Up close shot.


 This is my desktop.

 After I opened my copy of Evangelion 2.22, I peeled the sticker off of the cover and placed it on my desktop. I don't know why.xD
 The inside of my machine.
 Better shot of it.
 This is my old RAM. I don't think you can see it well for the lighting. :0
 Sockets for the RAM.
 Another pic of the inside. 
If I put my finger in the fan while turned on, will my finger get cut off?

After changing the current RAM and replacing it with the new ones, I turned on my computer but it didn't work!
The reason why is because I didn't insert the RAM right.(That's what he said) So I opened my computer again and push it tight until I heard the click sound. NOW it worked. It almost gave me a heart attack! Yay! Now my computer is faster! And yes, I'm running Windows Vista, the worst operating system in the world. =P

Hatsune Miku takes her first step into taking over American television.

On twitter, I was informed with news that Hatsune Miku or Miku Hatsune(whatever order you want to use) appeared on a promotional commercial for the 2011 Toyota Corolla. You can view the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E15PE7iGT0U&feature=player_embedded
I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT. SOMEONE PLEASE STOP ME!!!
.....................

Now that I've recovered, YES! Finally! Finally Miku gets attention in the U.S.! I had dream about this and now it's come true. I don't what to say. I mean this is "sugoi" (cool in Japanese). About the commercial itself, the song is called "World is mine"and sang by yours truly, Miku Hatsune. The CG in this commercial good and the timing is sugoi as well. At the half end , they start playing footage of the live concert that Miku Hatsune had on March 9th of last year. Very clever for Toyota to be promoting Miku along with their products. This make me want to buy a Corolla(which is now the official car of Miku Hatsune). My mom has a 1995 Corolla; is that car the official car of Miku Hatsune too? Who knows.

Has anybody seen the artwork in the website? The artwork in the website (http://www.toyota.com/corollamiku/) is kinda creepy. Couldn't they just put official artwork(like the one on top of this post) on the website? I mean if you have the rights to show Miku Hatsune on TV, you should have rights to put official pictures of her on the website.

Here's the creepy picture just incase you're lazy to click the link :3

Osama is DEAD with the help of the hackers who hacked the Playstation Network.

Today on May 1, 2011, President Obama announced that Osama Bin Laden is dead. After 9 years of searching, the U.S. has finally found and killed the man responsible for the infamous terrorist attack on September 11,2011.What I heard is that the military or some American group headshoted(+2 points) Osama. The body is now in the hands of the U.S, but I wonder who killed him.

 Maybe it was Han Solo.
Or the real life Stewie Griffin . Who knows.
Osama's death should bring joy to the people who lost their loved ones 9 years ago.

 That's the end of one story, but now let's take you to another story. This story is actually a week old, but bear with me here. The Playstation Station Network WAS HACKED!!! This is probably known to all who have a Playstation 3 and have access to broadband internet. Sony still doesn't know who's attacking them(maybe anymonous, a hack group), but they have confirmed that their network was hacked, stealing over 70,000 user's credit card information. This is a big deal; as an user of a Playstation 3, I'm in shock. Fortunately, I never put any credit card information in my account(don't ask me why). I mean how can a huge network be hacked by one person or a group(obviously it can be a huge group since that would be stupid). Doesn't Sony have securities, or have highly encrypted servers? How can this be?  The good news is when Sony finally fixes these problems and move their network into better-secured servers, they will reimburse Playstation Plus users their credit for not being able to access their accounts. As for the free Playstation Networks user(which I'm one of them), they will receive a free 30 day Playstation Plus credit. That's cool but I don't think that's going to stop all the lawsuit they're going to be getting. All right time to play free games and watch porn(if you can) with my Playstation Plus credit.

Isn't it weird how they found and killed Osama about the same time the Playstation Network was hacked and everybody's infromation was stolen? What if the whole reason of hacking the network was to find information on Osama's? Osama playing with a Playstation: could you imagine that?

I got a new keyboard!!!

Today, I went to Wal-Mart to purchase myself a new keyboard. The Logitech Keyboard K120  was only  $11.95. Very  good price for an average keyboard. The keyboard itself seems to be modern, but it's wired ;'(
This is the front cover of the box of the keyboard. 
 Finally!! A full keyboard! My old keyboard was missing a few keys,button,words? Whatever you call the them. To be specific, it was missing the L, the space bar, and numbers 1,2,3,and 4. I don't want to show this horrid old keyboard of mine or you might get gluecomia (did I spell that right?).

 The Logitech logo on the top-right corner of the keyboard.
 What a majestic keyboard^^. 


 There were some papers for the keyboard, but that not important right now, and since this keyboard is plug-and-play, I don't need to install any drivers :D.
 The back of the box. I've noticed that the box has English and French language, and there a word in French that says "Frappe".=0 Wasn't that the name of the iced coffee at McDonalds? I wonder what that means.^^
Full view of the keyboard.

Wii 2? The next generation




Nintendo announced that they will be making a new Nintendo console. It's been what 4 or 5 years already? I never had a Wii but I have used it alot of times. The project is is called Project "Cafe". I wonder what Project "Cafe" means. Maybe... "C"an "A"ll "F"rauds "E"nd? "C"ummingg "A"fter "F"ive "E"ight? I don't know ,but what Ido know is the details.

It will be customizable. Which means you could change hardware and components. I already have problems wht that. How are children going to customize this advanced console. I mean children can't even read the console manuals. I don't think this is a good idea. It reminds me of the Sega Add-ons.

It will have new advanced controllers(FROM THE FUTURE)NOT REALLY. When I mean advanced I mean it will have a screen on it. Yes, a screen. How it that possible?! And if it were, wouldn't it be expensive? I mean the wiimote is $50; who know what the new controller will cost.

The console is going to be playable AT E3!!! That was fast! Nintendo just announced this console and now they're going to launch a playable demo at E3? They're really rushing things there. Or maybe they've been planning this since the release of the Wii. Very clever, Nintendo. :-)

BTW It's not going to be 3-D. I mean come on, if it were 3D, then you'd have to upgrade your TV which I don't think a child would do.

But what about the extreme gamer's view? He would think this hardware customization would be awesome. I mean as a computer nerd, this is very superb. New controllers with touch screen impresses me; this is the new controller generation. Nintendo is like 10 years ahead our time. If I ever get a chance to go to E3 2011, then this will be my most anticipated thing there.
