China and Japan: Will they go to war?


THE countries of Asia do not exactly see the world in a grain of sand, but they have identified grave threats to the national interest in the tiny outcrops and shoals scattered off their coasts. The summer has seen a succession of maritime disputes involving China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines.This week there were more anti-Japanese riots in cities across China because of a dispute over a group of uninhabited islands known to the Japanese as the Senkakus and to the Chinese as the Diaoyus. Toyota and Honda closed down their factories. Amid heated rhetoric on both sides, one Chinese newspaper has helpfully suggested skipping the pointless diplomacy and moving straight to the main course by serving up Japan with an atom bomb.
That, thank goodness, is grotesque hyperbole: the government in Beijing is belatedly trying to play down the dispute, aware of the economic interests in keeping the peace. Which all sounds very rational, until you consider history—especially the parallel between China’s rise and that of imperial Germany over a century ago. Back then nobody in Europe had an economic interest in conflict; but Germany felt that the world was too slow to accommodate its growing power, and crude, irrational passions like nationalism took hold. China is re-emerging after what it sees as 150 years of humiliation, surrounded by anxious neighbours, many of them allied to America. In that context, disputes about clumps of rock could become as significant as the assassination of an archduke.
THE ABOVE IS AN EXTRACT FROM THE ECONOMISTS
In my opinion I believe that china could simply not go to war with japan over a bunch of petty pebbles in the middle of the ocean. One reason is that the U.S.A would jump into the war making it pretty much go from a big sqauble to a conventional war that could set the fuse leading to WW3 which would inevitably lead to nuclear conflict and end in the extinction or something near to that.  So In other words I would say that China  
WOULDN'T DARE!

Black Ops 2

 DISCLAIMER!!!None of the videos were made by me!
Hello everybody and for those hardcore gamers out there I would like to put a matter on the table. Black Ops 2. Many people think that it is just another black ops but I think that it is not. I believe it is better more polished an amazing story line with customizable characters and perks. After the terrible turn out of no dolphin diving in Mw3 it feels good to be able to jump out of an amazing Line of Sight or save your KD ratio from dropping below four from diving over the bonnet of a car and rushing away before you stunned opponent has time to recover from the awesomeness he just saw.

DISCLAIMER was not made by me! But proves my point!


For those people born by the controller and killed by the controller Bo2 was truly a great pull back into the world of Ps3 gaming. Because lets face it. Mw3 was getting old, the only thing keeping most players at it was infected which was pretty much just a dangerous version of the classical black ops zombie mode. Which speaking of which it is time to type about.




Zombie Mode

Zombie mode was one thing the was truly awesome, and was what made black ops a must have when it came out! Most entrepreneurial souls could see the by introducing infected Mw3 would get a long, long list of players solely from that game mode alone. But in Black Ops 2 the zombie mode is twice as good as it was in the previous version. More maps and more modes.

Grief

Grief is a game play mode when two four man teams are pitted against each other in a fight for survival. The aim of the game is to stab or shoot your opponent at a vital moment slowing them down and letting them be feasted upon by a zombie horde. The first team to be annihilated completely loses and if the other team survives that particular round they win. Same features as normal survival mode just a lot more frustrating and fun!





Transit

This game mode enabled four players to get onto a bus and surf around all the maps gathering parts, pieces and weaponry to power them through all the stages and allow them to finish the game. Here is some game play footage.
















Survival

This mode is the same good old survive as long as you can mode. Same as infected on Mw3 except the time is infinite and YOU CANT win :) good luck with this mode guys. Some game play footage BELOW!

Stray dogs in Mexico are suspected of more than five murders

Hey guys I was just scanning the web for some interesting news I could post about stuff like that when I found this it was an article saying how more than five people have been murdered in mexico and the suspect was a pack of feral dogs. But really, was it? I am not exactly a big person on preparing for the apocalypse (which I do not believe in) but what amount of dogs could possibly kill so many people? I think that it was not merely just a large pack of dogs but an ever increasing horde of zombies. I know it sounds stupid but really how stupid is it? A teenage couple was attacked by ten dogs looking somewhat like this
 that poor couple were killed. They were found later with several fatal "dog bites" all over there bodies. The fifth victim in this string of murders was a fifteen year old girl. Prosecutor's said that they have commenced capturing any stray dogs found in parks or other public areas, although a fierce debate has arisen as to what to do with these animals. Put them down. That is sadly for these murderous puppies the only option. Very few families would be willing to take them in and would probably only release them back outside once the animals show aggressive behavior. The stupid thing is that the authorities only starting taking action after another victim or victim's were found dead in the park. This time the victims were a mother and her infant child. This forced authorities into action now up next...

Why It wasn't dogs

If you continue reading that news down to the bottom then you should realize that the authorities had captured thirty-six feral dogs. All of which tested negative for rabies which would be a leading cause of death in the victims. The test results for human blood are stilling coming back. Although after two weeks you would expect the result to have come back and another follow up story been made to supplement this one. Although as you might have found the tests have not come back and no story has been made to follow this up.  I quote this from the news paper

  1. "Many family members have expressed skepticism that dogs could have killed their loved ones, saying their injuries appeared too devastating to have been the result of dog bites."
  2.  "It's not logical. I mean the dogs are small, they are domestic dogs. We don't believe what the prosecutor's office is telling us," brother Enrique Martinez told The Associated Press.
With this I rest my case. It couldn't of been small tiny dogs that could have easily been beaten away. I say that it was something worse, something perhaps ... a little more human than that.

The Reel: Is it a reality or a fantasy?

When somebody hits "The Reel" it is basically when they get their big break. That mind-block you had for endless hours is suddenly smashed aside and you post something so awe inspiring that, that small pool of views you get suddenly bursts into a massive amount of people hungering to see your blogs. That is what every true blogger, youtuber or vlogger wishes for. Though is it really as easy as they all say it is? Is "The Reel" reality or a fantasy?


You hit the reel, now what?

"For few to be immortal many must die."

This saying came out of the movie In Time in which the evil millionaire states the reality of life in plain blank terms. But I will change it too "For few to be popular many must not."  and unfortunately this is all too true in a world with seven billion people in which every average Joe only knows an average of twenty celebrities. These odds are obvious and in the face of massive competition not everyone can stand up and be that one person that succeeds, or in this case the one person that will be immortal. Most people think they will be the exception and that they can become famous and laugh at their former high school bully as he trips up while cleaning your house falling straight into that disgusting sludge at the bottom. It is always possible that one could run above the call of duty and become incredibly famous only to lose thousands of viewers as they try to follow up what they produced that was successful with another, duller, version of it. Not to be racist or anything but its like that rubbish Chinese copy of the best movie you have ever seen with 720p suppose graphics that looks like it has one frame per second showing up on the screen. The more that are made the worse it gets. It is sadly inevitable that you lose grip of your viewers, eventually another better young entrepreneurial soul will come out of the deep dark blue and snatch pretty much everything you thought you could keep forever. Though I will list below some simple ways to keep your views stable.


  1. Don't make a series lasting longer than twenty episodes. That will almost definitely bore your viewers and a million views can go to fifty thousand of those hardcore fanatics that will follow to hell and back. To expand on the point if you build more than a million of those sort of viewers your good to go.
  2. Use the social network! Social networks such as Facebook are an easy way to get your viewers interested. Pretty much everyone of those viewers that take the time to follow a page are sure to subscribe to you and watch any new video you make.
  3. Last but not least do not restrain yourself to a certain subject, or game or whatever you built your empire off.
I conclude that the reel is a fantasy many people will live their lives thinking they can achieve, although some the few, the great might just hit it. That means you too.

Dawn of the Dead: A Minecraft Story


Intro


Basically this is a story I made off a real Minecraft experience in which me and some of my buds were on a Lan server setting up our base in a NPC Village in the overworld. We managed to make some gear and were as I said just building up a base in the village. Now here comes the first person madness of what what down, I will say this as if I was Role Playing editing a little of the text so it makes sense.



Dusk


Dredix looked up at the orange-blue sky already the sun was setting and the moon rising, Skymark was  equipped with a Iron sword with full leather armor and I already had a bow after running into two spiders in a cavern in close proximity with the village. Remthen rushed out of the blacksmiths workplace, an armful of iron and two chest plates in his arms. He dropped one for me along with some flint and feathers to make some arrows which were much needed. Already I could hear mobs spawning, the inhumanly noises of zombies spawning and rising from the grave to feast on the flesh of the undefended villagers. Remthen screams something and I look up face to face with a flashing creeper, I sprint towards it punching it and sending it flying back into the church, blowing up a massive whole in the wall and causing a massive commotion among the villagers who were hiding inside.

I see Eflow holding off a pack of zombies, stabbing one in the chest, pulling out his sword and then reverse thrusting it into another's skull. All of a sudden one of them managed to over power him placing a bloody fist into his face and then falling upon him, I breathed in knowing his life depended on it and sent an arrow hurtling into the zombies head knocking it off Eflow and allowing him some space to re calculate his angle of attack. Remthen was in the middle of a fight with a cluster of spiders.

"Dredix , Remthen get your butts over to the church!" screamed Eflow as a creeper exploded in front of him, injuring him grievously but also killing a skeleton and I believe two zombies. We all ran to the Church jumping in through the massive gap that had previously been created by a creeper and Remthen quickly patched it up in a dodgy manner of fashion while me and Eflow cut down any zombies that tried to get in. Already zombies were trying to break down the door and skeletons were sending arrows through the slots in the wall. The villagers were screaming for help outside while zombie feasted on them and their children, and all those villagers went down having been infected by the zombies came back up tripling the number of zombies we had to fight.

"Hey Dredix, bro I think I can get us out of here!" said Remthen
"How!?" I hissed sending arrow into a skeleton that was trying to take a shot at Eflow
"I could just mine out two blocks in the wall and we could run off!" he replied. I nodded thinking that it could do no more harm than had already been done. As soon as that doorway appeared in the wall of the church a creeper jumped in blowing Remthen into oblivion and opening a giant gap for all its friends. I picked up Remthen's iron sword, replaced my chest plate with his and stood back to back with Eflow. Another creeper came in somehow already on fuse and about to explode. I did the only thing I could do. And pushed it towards Eflow. It exploded instantly killing Eflow and leaving me alone in this death trap with two massive holes and at least twenty hostile mobs trying to kill me.

I picked up his gear put it on and put my back to the side wall as they streamed in. Intent on the kill...

ASUS Eee PC 1025C-BBK301 for $229!

If you don't have time to read it all just skip to the bottom.

Hey guys I am posting this to day to tell you about this awesome deal of a Asus Eee PC Netbook for only $229 , even to me it sounds crazy and too good to be true but if you look deeper into it you will see how truly awesome this is.

Let me say this, this computer is a netbook used for work purposes and mobile coding and blogging ect not for hardcore gaming on a rainy day. The specs are not created for that as you can see below:



  • Screen 10 Inches-Non Glare
  • Dimension 0.8 Inches thick 
  • Processor- Intel Atom N2600 with 1.6Ghz Processing Speed
  • Operating System- Windows 7  OS 32-bit Starter
  • RAM- 1GB DDR (Can be expand until 2gb)
  • Hard Drive- 320GB max speed 5400Rpm (pretty fast)
  • 2 USB Ports 
  • Weight- 2.4Lbs
Overall easily portable and Ideal for blogging in any situation. Also extremely cheap and well suited for those people who are internet markets or link posters. Not exactly sure what the term is for that but I believe they are called affiliate marketers. Do not take my word for it though. Its not one of those computers where you can just sit down and play Extremely Realistic simulation games like Arma 2 for hours without stopping. 

Here are some reason of why I think this is a great product.

  1. It is extremely light weight which adds its mobility and could be put in a purse or back pack if your going to meet your friends at the local cafe and want to mess about on the internet a bit.
  2. It is extraordinarily cheap matching the price of an Ipad at even less! With more applications available and the option for an external mobile hard drive to add 1TB to the Memory if need. You can get those for measly prices too.
  3. It has practically endless space when it comes to saving programs and has the Windows 7 OS system which will save you money having to buy one for $500 at the store.
My conclusion is that this is the perfect tool for coders and bloggers alike or simply people that want to be able to take civilization with them wherever they go.
