Im sure youve heard of the infamous "April Fools Day Virus." I went to school today , and all my non computer-literate friends were telling me of a new virus that was on the news , set to come out today. Now I knew this would be total BS when I first heard this as I wearily stepped into my classroom at 8 AM , and I still stand correct.

Numerous reports have been released , of minimal activity of this so called "virus" , known as the "Conflicker worm." It was said to target any computer running Windows OS (including your Macs you egotistical jerks who think your OMFG so awesome $3000 overpriced trash is invulnerable to these things). <-- Sorry about that :( . Microsoft is offering a 250 G , thats right , $250000 , to the person who finds information leading to the arrest of this virus creator.

For those of you who havent seen the new trailer , check it out here : http://modernwarfare2.infinityward.com/#/?zoom=1&x=137.75&y=96&time=24.09

Now if you read my previous post about that awesome XP I put on my laptop , you remember that everything was A-ok. Now , 2 days ago , some serious things went down.

In the middle of writing a review of my new mouse that I bought , my laptop just turns off in seconds and restarts. Now I was pissed because I didn't save a draft , but I didn't think too much of the random restart. But guess what? It kept restarting. I would be on firefox or another app for a a minute or 2 , and it restarted again. Now I have seriously no idea whats going , so I attempt to backup my files , and reformat my computer. There wasn't much to backup as I already backed up all my old Vista files on my other laptop , so I went ahead and re-installed xp. But the same thing happened again , and I went to sleep thinking that it was possibly a overheating problem.

My new DesktopWhat follows is one mans expedition to downgrade from the hell known as Vista to get windows XP , and this man will never back down until he gets it to work.

I purchased a new hp dv6775us laptop in late september of 08 , and I really loved it. Vista ran fine , and it could handle anything I threw at it (even , to some extent , Crysis). But what happens to my $600 laptop after I install Linux? Vista gets corrupted. About every 10 seconds an error message would pop up on my vista , and my taskbar started looking funny. It was bearable until 2 days ago , where I couldnt even start up Vista. Good thing I had Linux , so I got all my documents and 200GB worth of music , movies , and games , all on to my backup computers. Now what do I do? I had no Vista recovery disc , so I got a "version" of XP that had all the updates and some little bells and whistles.

If you own an xbox 360 , you know that its kind of annoying to pay for xbox live , which is necessary to play online. But other options like PSN (PS3) are totally free. What gives? You might say the Xbox Live has a ton more features , and it does since its been in the works for years , but seriously , 5 bucks a month? Thats 60 bucks a year , which is like basically buying  a whole new game. I only buy very few games with the money I have , and this extra cost doesnt help one bit. A more modest price drop should be in order. A new xbox 360 goes for 200 dollars , which is the same as the 400 dollar launch bundle. If your going to cut the price of the xbox 360 in half , why not cut the Live price in half too? Its not like Microsoft needs all that money. Is change going to happen? No. Not in the near-future , but we can hope.

What do you all think?

So if you havent heard , this fall the new Call of Duty game is coming out :

Ready for more of this?
