LG vs Samsung

Another debating going on in my head is about cell phones. Specifically LG vs. Samsung cell phones. After having a Samsung for two years, and now having an LG, I have to give the edge to LG.

I currently own  the LG Voyager, and it is probably the best phone I have ever owned. I has a beautiful touch screen, and a larger keyboard when in flips open. The battery life is amazing, and all of the graphics are great. It is kinda the next generation enV, and it is an awesome phone. I've only had it for a couple of months, but I can already say that it is a better phone than Samsung.

Samsung is just ok. On the broad spectrum, that is exactly what they are. They make ok phones. I had the alias for about two years, and after the first couple months I was already sick of it. The way that Samsung set's up their phones is not ideal and their products often have weird and odd defects or imperfections that make it frustrating to the buyer. Like the Samsung Glyde for instance, I just don't understand it. After comparing the two companies, LG is definately the winner in my books. Just overall a better product and better services on the cell phone. I would recommend any phone from LG over Samsung. Phones like the voyager, Env2, venus, and dare would all make you feel cool and content with your cell phone. 

Mac vs. PC

With endless commericals on this question, I have come to the conclusion that even though Windows set the standard for the American computer, I have to say that Mac is an overall better product at this point. 

Mac's are simply a better computer. With flashy programs, more innovate designs on products, and just a cool feeling to them, I believe that they are superior to PC's and all Windows applications. The pros of Macs are not few. You don't have to worry about viruses when using a mac, because there aren't any viruses made for their programs. All of mac products are very elegant and visually stunning. It is considered an upper class product. It runs very fast and efficiently. Programs like Ichat and Idvd make life a whole lot easier. They are also very easy to use and are easy to figure out. My mom who is not even close to computer savvy now sees me multiple times a week because of Ichat. One con I can say about Macs is that they cost a pretty penny and they have horrible customer service, but thats a story in itself. 

PC's have really fallen off the map in my opinion in the past couple of years. I feel like Microsoft really has taken into the gaming industry with products like the Xbox 360 (which is one of the greatest things of our time.) Windows Vista was apparently a horrible program and people even wanted to switch back to XP. Vista's look and feel was more like that of a copy cat of Mac's OS X program, except Vista was much more complicated. Personally I prefer Leopard to anything, but that's just my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I had Windows 1996, Windows 2000, and Windows XP just like the rest of the world, but I decided a Mac would be best for me for college. I feel like Microsoft just tried to keep up with the popularity of Mac, and they didn't really do a good job.

Things like the Ipod and Iphone probably havent helped Microsoft much either. All of these things are compatable and really compliment the Mac's, and with the popularity of these things who is suprised with the results. Mac has really taken over in America, and I would suggest it to anyone.

Football

Some big games today in football...

The giants had a big win today. they beat the san francisco 49ers 29-17. This moves them to 5-1. Buffalo won against the Chargers 23-14. This also moves them to 5-1. Carolina Panthers beat up on the Saints 30-7. Chicago beat the Vikings 48-41. Steelers beat the Bengals 38-10. Titans beat the Chiefs 34-10 and move to 6-0. Ravens beat the Dolphins 27-13. Rams beat the Cowboys 34-10. Houston beat Detroit 28-21. Green Bay beat Indy 34-14. Oakland beat the Jets 16-13. Washington beat Cleveland 14-11, and the Bucs beat the Seahawks 20-10.

Overall, I'd say this was the most suprising week for the Cowboys. They went into St. Luis without their star quarterback, and they just got stomped on. Brad Johnson looked horrible. The Titans stay perfect which is suprising. The Giants still look strong, and Indy lost again which is not good. Another entertaining week in football.

Vote

Before reading my post...please copy and paste this link into your URL and watch the video...

Hopefully after watching that, it might change your mind about voting. This next presidential election could change many things for our lives and for our childrens lives. It is our privledge as a free country to have the right to vote. Some countries don't have that right. Take advantage of this opportunity, learn about the people that are running, and vote. It will make a difference. 

Cold

What happened Cortland? After having a nice weekend home, I return to frost, to cold winds, and to an overall very depressing situation. Why does it have to be so cold here. It's only October. Last night it was in the 30's. You can see your breath wherever you walk. 

Cold weather isn't all so bad I guess. Cold weather means that snow is right around the corner, and who doesn't love snow right? Cold weather means that some pretty sweet holidays are coming up. Halloween is always fun. I love candy and getting a costume. Cold Weather means Thanksgiving. I love food. Cold weather means Christmas. I also love presents.

So cold weather brings good and bad, but for now I'll complain. It's the beginning of October, and I'm already wearing my winter jacket (even though its not winter)

Finally home!

I am finally going home! What relief. Time to get away from all the stress of school and swimming. Finishing up my first CPN paper was quite an experience, but I had a sense of relief when finishing it. Hopefully going home will be a nice and relaxing time. Spending time with my family and my puppies should be a nice alternative to being at school. 

This week in football, the Giants are playing the Seahawks. Should be an easy game, although the Seahawks are a good team. They are currently 1-3 and are not looking as strong as of recent years. Coming off a bye week should mean that we are rested, and hopefully Eli will have another big game. Hopefully with Plax being suspended we won't lose the threat of the pass... any way, lets go G-men.

Baseball is getting exciting. Even though the Yankees aren't in the playoffs, it's still exciting to watch. Baseball is a fun sport to watch, and usually the best is seen in October. That's all for now...lets all hope that the Angels give the Red Sox hell.
