The Wii doesn’t support video or music media, so if you want to view a downloaded movie or mp3, you must watch or listen it on your computer. Fortunately, there is a way to turn every console with connection to the internet into a media station. This works by streaming movies and music from you computer to your console, so you don’t even need to mod your console! Here’s a quick guide for the Xbox360, PS3 and the Wii.

Spam’s natural habitat: top 5 places to find spam!
Posted by Flo in Tech on March 28th, 2008.Tags: internet, Spam, websites
Whoa, what a weird post, as if you would want to find spam… but all right, let’s move on. As the internet was created, spam as we all know it was created. Throughout the years it evolved from e-mail spam to the modern species of spam: comment spam, (forum)post spam, buddy spam (invite spam) and much, much more. As we all know, this spam is produced by bots, and sometimes by no-lifers, who think that you will really die if you don’t spam a particular message at least 10 times in comments on a website or to their friends (just to be sure: you WON’T die because you didn’t send this message these people… really…). Now, let’s look up those stenched spam-habitats, maybe we will even discover some new species of spam!

The Japanese rock scene is a crowded one. Hundreds of bands make so-called Jrock and most of it is enormous crap. Luckily for us, there are some very good bands out there that really make good music. The best band is Asian Kung-Fu Generation and they’ve released their new album World World World.

10,000 BC Movie Review
Posted by Nick in Movies, Reviews on March 21st, 2008.Roland Emmerich (director) likes to go back and forth in time, accompanied by a big budget. With Independence Day he considered an alien invasion, in The Day After Tomorrow he showed the results of an abrupt global warming, in 1998 he remade Godzilla. Even though these movies are big business, the quality varies from questionable to bad. Therefore it is no surprise that I was not very excited to see his newest movie, 10,000 BC.

Posted by Flo in Music, Weekly Album on March 7th, 2008.Tags: album, garage rock, Music, punk rock
The Swedish band “The Hives” is one of the leading punk/garage rock bands. This is one of the reasons why I just can’t ignore their newest album, The Black And White Album. It’s their first album in three years since Tyrannosaurus Hives, and the music on this cd surprised me: it’s not the Hives as I know them.

Burn any image file to CD/DVD with ImgBurn
Posted by Nick in Freeware, Tech on March 6th, 2008.Before I discovered ImgBurn, I was looking for a freeware application that could burn a DVD from .VOB files. I knew Nero Burning Rom could do it, but that one isn’t free. Luckily I disovered ImgBurn, a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application, that can burn anything to anything.
