The Other Movie I Should Have Seen Instead

If you are thinking about going to see The Other Woman. DONT. 

If you really want to know what it is about just go and see John Tucker Must Die because this movie is just a horrible knock off of that movie with more well known actresses/models and somehow worse acting. This movie was such a bust that I am actually still at it now and I had to let everybody know that they should never see it. For one Cameron Diaz isn't the worst actress in the world but she just does not fit this character. If you want to see a better film with her in it I suggest The Holiday. It is also a chick flick and a lot better. 

Lleslie man is also good but not in this movie. She did a much better job in 17 again which if you haven't seen, go see that way before you see this movie! 

And Kate Upton. WHY IS SHE IN THIS MOVIE!!! I'll tell you why. Because she is a super model and nothing else. They literally say this in the movie. They talk about how they don't know what her character brings to the table. It is absolutely horrible! 

The only good part of this movie is the guy. Who is a jerk in the movie. But he is probably the only good actor in the movie and I feel bad that he got stuck in this movie and I pray for his sake that he doesn't get murdered in Game of Thrones once the director watches this movie. 

The only reason I am watches this movie still in the theatre is.... 

Actually I take that back. He isn't that good either and this movie is sooo freaking bad I can't handle it. None of it makes sense. It is all overdramatized and NOT FUNNY. 

I don't really know how to describe this movie other than. It is the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. Mean girls is better and that's saying something because I hate that movie. This is also one of the most messed up story lines I've ever witnessed. 

 

For the love or god. Don't see it. I beg you. 

Brain Jobs???

If any of you are familiar with the show Chuck, you know what an intersect is. If your not, well its basically a computer in your brain that lets you do anything the computer knows how to do. Like Kung Fu.

And soon, it's going to be real. There is now research going into the idea of being able to "upgrade" your brain. This will be for a numerous purposes such as learning languages, math, english, or even being able to focus more. They say that at some point in the future getting one of these "cognitive implants" will be as easy as getting a nose job, or calf implants.

First thoughts:

This would be AWESOME if somebody wanted to become a doctor or a rocket scientist but they naturally aren't good at science, they could just get an implant. Or if somebody was mentally handicapped then they could possibly get an implant that would be able to help speed up the cognitive functions that dont work so well. Or it could be the cure to ahlzeimers.


Second thoughts:

This is going to be horrible. Being a student who has gone through the public school system, it isn't easy to get through school and go to an Ivy league college. But now students who are from families that are more financially secure could get an implant that would make their kids be able to get in with no problem. This makes a whole new level of competition. A even worse situation for the admissions offices of any University.


Final thoughts:

I will most likely be dead or too old to care when this actually happenes.

So it's pretty cool.

Don't have kids. America will turn into Japan where you have to look up when walking on sidewalks during finals week.

Robo Kid?

I only saw the first 20 minutes of Robo Cop in theatre's (something I regret a little) and left thinking that this would never happen. But apparently it has.

A man named  Miguel Nicolelis has been working on a robotic exoskeleton that can help a person in a wheel chair walk. By wearing a hat that reads the patients brainwaves, the robot listens and will start walking. ACTUALLY. This is so promising in the future that they are going to have a kid in a wheelchair walk out onto the field of the World Cup and kick the first ceremonial goal.

Now whether this will actually happen I do not know. It seems like quite a long shot. I could see a kid walking out onto the field and waving, but let's be honest, that would be kind of lame. But it seems to me that it would be a lot harder to kick a ball than it would to just walk. And whether that is going to happen I do not know.

 Buy stock now! Nobody will say no to a kid in a wheelchair that can now walk.

AI: Artificial Intelligence

I remember back when I was young watching IRobot or Terminator and thinking, could that actually happen? Robots taking over the world? Could there actually be a Jarvis like in Iron Man? Could Robert Downey Jr. Actually be Iron Man? Could that movie actually be a documentary?

Artificial Intelligence is just that. Right now somewhere in California (everything cool happens in California) there is millions of dollars pumping into thousands of young minds trying to create Jarvis. IBM has already come out with a robot named Watson who can apparently beat people at Jeopardy. This is such a growing industry that people want to explore that TED has combined with xprize and created a competition to see who can create a robot that can give a TED Talk that is good enough to gain a standing ovation.

This has made huge schools like Stanford and University of Washington offer classes on AI that thousands of students have already taken. Fat cats in the tech industry such as Google's CEO Larry Page, and Mark Zuckerberg are already putting millions of dollars into AI research so that they can start making some profit on it and being the leaders in this almost non-existent industry (for now). They are all hoping that students taking these intensive classes will come together build the next AI that will change the world and help humanity (like Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Mark Zuckerberg).

What do you think about Artificial Intelligence? We here at The Dusty Wahl love to hear what you have to say!

Move to California, because North Hennepin Community College won't offer this stuff for A WHILE!

Don't actually do this unless you have gone to school for it... (unlike me) 

Phablets....Just, Why?

Cell phones have changed the world as we know it since the 90's. It was an amazing invention that allowed the world to stay connected without a wire. They first came out and they looked like bricks (incase you don't know what I'm talking about watch the first Wallstreet movie) and were huge things that only women could carry because they had purses.

As technology moved forward the cell phone became smaller and smaller. This was great! You could fit it in your pocket! The only problem was that it was easier to lose. However, now technology is reversing, and trying to get bigger, with .... the Phablet!

The Phablet is exactly what it sounds like, its is a phone tablet. So basically it is a huge phone that we can't fit in our pockets, which means we either have to carry around purses, or have that holster for it on our belt. (neither of which are better options than our pockets)

There is the HTC One Max, which has a 5.9 inch display. The Samsung Galaxy Mega, that has a 6.3 inch display, and the Sony Xperia Z, which has a 6.4 inch display. So you have a frame of reference the Nexus 7 tablet is only .6 inches bigger than these phones while the Ipad Mini has a 7.9 inch display.

To give you an even better frame of reference, the Iphone 4s has a 3.9 inch display. This is as big as phones should be, maybe a little bigger to maybe a 4.5 inch display, but nothing more. We are reversing in the technological timeline and it doesn't make sense! Cell phones are supposed to be small and manueverable. Not big and inconcealable.

If you have any oppinion of the Phablet, please comment below. Us here at The Dusty Wahl, love to hear what you got to say.

If it can't fit in your pocket, why buy it?

Starbucks Still Sucks...

Yep.....

They still suck.....

And here's why....


The new cup that they came out with (which isn't actually that new I found out) is still awesome. However after using it for a couple weeks now, I have realized its downsides.

1. I am always so excited to use the cup and get my 1 dollars worth, that I find myself drinking 10 cups of coffee a day. This is not good for health, because when I drink a lot of caffeine (drinking decaf goes against my religion) I get very hungry

2. If you dont clean the cup for more than a couple days, it will get stained with coffee, which is very hard to get out. (no I refuse to wash my coffee cup more than twice a week)

3. Sometimes I wish it was bigger so I didn't have to fill it so many times a day.


Wise Words from The Dusty Wahl 

Still buy the cup.... 1 dollar.... Totally worth it...
