Useless Gadget of the Century

Just in case you feel the need to synch all 20 of your Apple devices at one time, I have just the product for you. It's called the Parasync Charging and Synchronization Dock. It accommodates iPods Classic, Touch, Nano(gen 4), and iPhone. Yes, I can your mind, right now your probably thinking, "Gee I'm glad I can finally sync all 20 of my iPods at the same time, doing them all one at a time has become way to tedious."

The Future of Facebook

So, I was on my way to Meijer with my brother this afternoon, and somehow the topic of Facebook came up. He said that he didn't believe that FB would continue to thrive as the forefront of social networking because of it's privacy issues. As I think about the subject a little more I tend to agree. I have found myself very frustrated with Facebook lately but for other reasons, I feel that it has become way to over-saturated with things to do. If I can make a simple comparison, Facebook is the Las Vegas of the internet, there is something to do at all times. When you go to your home page it is lit up with all kinds of updates, ads, pics, etc. The original intent was to bring people together in one single place on the web, and in my opinion FB has reached its saturation point, and I feel like it may be all down hill from here.
So heres the thing, I want to know what others feel about the issue. Do you feel that is still the best networking site out there? What do you like about FB, what do you hate? I want to know...

Steve Rogers is Captain America, Not Will Smith

Hi everyone, Josh here,
If you follow me on twitter you probably seen my spaz out yesterday over the news that Will Smith is being considered to play Marvels Captain America.(Click here for the story)or here
Now I am definitely NOT trying to play the race card, but! the first thing I thought was . . . . .  Captain America is white, Steve Rogers is white, Will Smith is black. That is not to say a black man could not play Captain America , because plenty of others have taken the captain america shield over the years, Including; Bucky Barnes, Roscoe, Scar Turpin, and the black Captain America Isaiah Bradley
Yes Will Smith Could play the Isaiah Bradley Version of Cap. But! everything that has been release about the movie thus far has said the movie is going to take place during WWII. Steve Rogers was Captain America During WWII. Sure in Truth: Red, White, & Black, They claim that Isaiah was the original cap, but he was the original because he was an experiment of the super soldier serum. The original official Captain America (dating all the way back to Timely magazine, before marvel bought the rights to cap) Is Steve Rogers! And if we go back to any version of Captain America and look at any comic version of WWII The Invaders (click here for more on the invaders) Which was lead by Steve Rogers aka Captain America.
 Not Isaiah Bradley. And even if they don't go off of the original story line, Steve Rogers has been captain america for what I'd say has been 85% of the time since Cap was created, so it'd be foolish to have some one play a different version of cap than the Steve Rogers version.

All I'm saying is Will Smith CAN NOT be Captain America,
 it would not be write for cap to not be Steve Rogers, and it would not be right for Steve Rogers to be Black. This has nothing to do with race, it has everything to do with history and tradition.

iGoogle

Who out there uses iGoogle? If you don't you should, I'm a firm believer that its one of Googles most under rated products. I have all my sites linked to it. I can update my twitter, my friend feed. I can read my google reader, and news. I can get my google voice calls, and even make my google voice calls. All from one page.

I'm Looking to get some feed back on what other people think of iGoogle, and what applications they find useful.
