Blue tooth in vehicle recievers

Is there a reason that new car makers don't want you to listen to music over blue tooth as well as use it to make phone calls? Most after market stereos let you do this now. There is no reason for this, besides holding back for future models so they can say that it has this ability.

Best Buy closing 50 stores

OOPS! Looks like Best Buy has suffered. TOO BAD. Good job being so out of touch with customers.

"The electronics chain announced it would shutter 50 stores and concentrate on smaller stores selling mobile electronics."

Yes, EXACTLY what I want from Best Buy.

HP again, Retailers & Radio Shack

Another thing that I remembered about HP is that they DON'T EVEN INCLUDE the proper wire connection to connect their stupid printers to the computer via USB. That's just sad. For some idiotic reason, they think that I would buy their expensive rip off golden wire with 30 attachments I don't need. JUST INCLUDE A REGULAR USB CONNECTION! There is absolutely NO reason to have a unique USB connection. NONE!

Well guess what, this leads me to my second point. I remember a couple of years ago about how stores like Target, Walmart, and Best Buy tried to sue Amazon to get them to charge the outrageous prices for goods like the big retail chains do. They can all blow me, and I hope their electronic departments suffer horribly. Why should I buy a wire from you for $10 when it should only cost me $2. Monster Wire can bite me.

This is also about Radio Shack. It used to be a place where nerds could go get their wires and nerdy things for cheap, but now it's all about cell phones and the same expensive stuff. Bite me.

Disneyland, California, and the hatred of Florida

Why is there so much hatred from Californians towards Florida? Walt Disney himself was planning on building Walt Disney World. It didn't turn out how he wanted, but he is still a very strong part of the history of our parks. Speaking of history, we also have a very rich history in the parks and resorts.

I always grew up watching the World of Color episodes and old cartoons. Walt was as much a part of my life as any Californian, and probably more than most. Walt's plane is parked in Hollywood Studios. I grew up listening to the music of Disneyland as well as Disney World. I never knew of the hatred until the internet and until I went there myself. I'll be first to admit that our maintenance is lacking, and they make a lot of decisions that don't make sense. That doesn't mean that we've lost all of the great history, music, and memories from our parks.

When I go to WDW, I don't think "Disneyland sucks, we are better," I just have a good time. I like both. You guys have some things over us, I guess. It only takes a short drive to get there, too bad it's ruined by a horrible parking garage and all the crazy legal stuff there (like the slow trams and extensive safety spiels). You can continue to hate something that has "the blessing of size" rather than your cramped little version of the Magic Kingdom. ;)

BTW, I think our Magic Kingdom parking lot is larger than the entire Disneyland resort.

Perfect audio distribution

Does anyone use CDs anymore? What's the point of continuing to make them? You'll buy a CD, rip it, and put it away. Lossless downloads (FLAC is preferred) are the way of the future. If you want album art, they should include really high resolution images so the consumer can print them out however they want. Include the front album cover (or whatever art they prefer) and embed it into the audio. It'll be cheaper than producing CDs, and you don't have to worry about the 80 minute limit. Make it 3 channels so you can disable the vocals if you like. Make it 6+ channels for surround sound. Make it 24 bit if you like. Both are unavailable on CD.

No more worrying about the "perfect rip," when you get the audio directly from the studio.

Apple will have to get off it's iHighhorse and start supporting the superior audio format. Video game makers will have to get past this stupid mp3 phase, a phase that should have ended long ago. No longer will they have to license codecs just to play back mp3s. No longer will you hear clipping dialog or low quality music since it's losslessly compressed.

It's pointless now a days to separate compilations to fit on a CD, since most people just play back the audio on a player or their computer.

"Audiophiles" can keep their expensive record player and listen to all the pops and humming noise they claim is a "deeper sound," and leave me alone, cause I don't want to hear that baloney.

"Fixing" your dog

Some people call it "fixing" and some people call it "neutering" I call it mutilating. The vet will tell you anything he can to get you to have him mutilate your dog. Unless you let your dog run around the neighborhood, doing anything it wants (which you shouldn't), then it's pointless to do this. Your dog WILL act more subdued, and make him less active. He will also pee like a female dog. The vet doesn't really care for YOUR dog's health, he'll just ramble on and on about how good it is, how it doesn't change his attitude, yadda yadda. Lies. What does he know or care? He'll be making money. He'll also recommend a brand of dog food that he was paid to endorse (that's another story).

Modern cartoon movies are stupid

Modern cartoon movies are stupid, whether it be a remake, or original, they try to put so many stupid cliches in them, and their commercials get on my nerves.

1. Nobody wants to see a classic cartoon character, or any cartoon character, rap. Ever. Nobody.

2. Celebrity voices galore. Woopty doo. Every single character is a celebrity, like it means anything.

3. 3D on a normal screen is stupid.

4. Rapping cartoons look like retards, but in reality, whoever made the decision is the retard.
