Nifty Chrome Extensions

Nifty Chrome Extensions

With Chrome being the most popular web browser nowadays, it's only right that its extensions get showcased as well. Just like apps, there is an extension for just about everything in Chrome. Some are super nifty and make things totally convenient while others just leave us scratching our heads and wondering "Why???" I mean there should be a line drawn when it comes to how much an app or in this case, an extension is needed. For example, the "IE Tab" that Chrome extensions offers. I mean really!! How lazy can one be that they can't just simply open the IE browser for two minutes to access whatever it is they needed it for in the first place? Does there really need to be a cluttering extension for it? Another one that has me scratching my head is the "MEGA Button." Ummm last I checked, Chrome already has the "MEGA Button" integrated when you click their little three horizontal lines icon in the upper right corner. Once again, to me it just seems to be nothing but clutter. But that's just my opinion. What does everyone else think? Do you have your own opinion when it comes to useful vs. needless extensions? If so, please share below!

Scientist Proves There is Life After Death?

It’s a question pondered by philosophers, scientists and the devout since the dawn of time: is there an afterlife?

While the religious would argue that life on earth is a mere warm up for an eternity spent in heaven or hell, and many scientists would dismiss the concept for lack of proof – one expert claims he has definitive evidence to confirm once and for all that there is indeed life after death.

Choose What Content You Want to See More Of!

Since I noticed that my post on the war on wolves got a lot more attention than any other post, it made me take a step back and question what content are people looking for. My blog is suppose to be aimed at the tech world which also happens to include what "tech geeks" like as hobbies such as gaming, comics, movies, etc. But the war on wolves was something that I randomly posted out of the blue because it made me disturbed to find stuff like that is happening and should be stopped.

So I'm looking to the actual readers of this blog to see what kind of content they want to see more of. So please let me know in the poll below! :-)

Random Fact of the Day: Denmark has what????!!!!!

Are you into random facts as much as I am?? If so, you're part of the cool people! ;-) Check out today's random fact of the day in reference to television! 

 

The DR Ramasjang launched in 2009 and was a desperate attempt to reign in Danish viewers. Danish children were all but lost in the wonders of Cartoon Network and Disney. The DR caters to Danish humor and irony and is made for children between the ages of 3 through 10. It has become the most popular channel in Denmark among children. 

The channel doesn’t show any commercials, which boosts their ratings among children and parents alike whose don’t have to deal with marking strategies geared for their young ones. The DR Channel’s characters are put to bed at night and are seen sleeping all night. It sounds like an adorable channel, except their use of “irony” would be considered very questionable in the U.S. 

One movie on the channel shows a ten year old girl killing six adults by cutting of their limbs! A spokeswoman for the channel said that times are changing and kids want more than Barbie and Power Rangers. Those shows are now for kids under 5. The TV station has a hard time balancing shows for 3 year olds and 10 year olds. Ideally they want to open another channel and split the age group in half again. 

Justice League: War

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=q3F9ASSsHUk

Take a look at the first trailer for Justice League: War, which in turn is the first video adaptation of a New 52 story, being loosely based off the first arc of the relaunched Justice League comic by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee.

As announced at New York Comic Con, the movie version trades Shazam in for Aquaman and gives some new costumes to the characters (with significant changes to Wonder Woman and Green Lantern, specifically), rather than taking the story directly to animation. It does, however, still feature lots of fighting against the forces of Darkseid (who also has a new, altered look) and Apokolips.

The Disturbing War on Wolves

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposes to extend Endangered Species Act protections for an estimated 75 Mexican wolves in the wild in New Mexico and Arizona. (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service /January 25, 1998)

By Julie CartOctober 26, 2013, 6:30 p.m.

ALBUQUERQUE — In the small, rural community of Reserve, children waiting for the school bus gather inside wooden and mesh cages provided as protection from wolves. Parents consider the "kid cages" a reasonable precaution.

Defenders of the wolves note there have been no documented wolf attacks in New Mexico or Arizona. Fears of wolves attacking humans, they say, are overblown, and the cages nothing more than a stunt.
