So Far-So Good. I usually wait some time to discuss electronics reviews because it usually takes some time practicing with a unit to understand what it’s all about. Unlike most Microsoft bashers out there; I decided to give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt and see for myself whether the product was all hype or actually delivered where it said it would. Let’s get down to the basics.Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is Microsoft’s ps3 and PC killer. It came out with a humongous advertising campaign and came out probably a bit early to try and beat Sony to the market first. This rush caused a handful of hardware glitches for consumers which sadly was to be expected when trying to rush a product to the market as quickly as possible.Here’s the highs and lows:

Highs:

Stylish Design
Great interface
Powerful Hardware Slick Controller
Nice variety of games
Strong Online Play

Lows:
Too much hype for its own good
Price
Upgradeable electronics needed
Useless Extras
No next-gen media format included
No killer App. yet.

Let’s get right to it. The system is bashed by some but others like me have grown to enjoy it. It’s white and shiny and trying to copy Apple’s Ipod look. The other neat part is that you can customize it with face plates. While someone like myself might not enjoy that type of thing; I applaud Microsoft for at least trying to make the system customizable and for attempting to get girls into the system who might enjoy changing the design of the system around. The system’s interface reminds me less of Microsoft and more of Tivo with its easy to use guides and colorful display settings. The weight of the system (which was a problem with the original xbox) hasn’t seemed to change as it’s still quite heavy to lift up.

In episode 2., we showcase some of the most relaxing tools out on the market today. These items will surely aid any lazy person in getting a good night sleep, waking up on time or simply just relaxing while surfing the net or watching tv. Here’s our recommended guide to relaxation in no particular order.

Stretching Human Touch Robotic Leather Massage Recliner with Calf & Foot Massage



-I believe the title explains this chair right away but let’s look at some of the chairs features.It realistically mimics the in-and-out, up-and-down movements of the arms, hands, wrists, fingers and thumbs of a skilled — and tireless — massage professional. You can also adjust the size of the chair to fit your height and weight proportions so whether you’re a big man or a small man, you can’t go wrong with this chair.

Laptop Lap Desk



-We like this little item for anybody that owns a laptop. It’s lightweight, portable and can help you relax while trying to hold that heavy laptop of yours in your lap in a crowded or busy area with no tables available. It also is designed to push the heat of your laptop away from your crotch which can only help men not lower their sperm count in the near future.

Contour-Foam Silver Neck-Support Pillow



-There are many good pillows out on the market, but we chose this one because of its support for the neck and head which is very important as well as its ease to come apart and be thrown into the washer. Its anti-mite, anti-mold and anti-microbe usage also helps those like me who have allergies and don’t wish to fall ill from their pillows. (more…)

Every so often we like to recommend things that we think our audience will enjoy. This article happens to deal with things that we hope get across our message of laziness a bit better. We have created a list (in no particular order) of things that we feel will help make us a much lazier society and will help make our lives a little bit easier one day at a time.



-The first item on our list comes from our favorite robot company, Irobot, who have designed a new robot called Scooba. A scooba will assist humans with washing, scrubbing, and drying the floor for you. There’s no need to do any washing anymore as this robot will clean underneath tables as well as any hard to reach places that you can’t reach by yourself.



-The next item on our list is for that lazy person who can’t seem to be able to find the remote control or is simply too lazy to get up to turn the t.v. off. The TV-B-Gone can turn off virtually any television on the market with the click of a button. It’s perfect for turning off your own t.v., causing havoc at the local electronics store or simply ringing in the new year.



-Another perfect favorite of ours is the Roll Bar – Mobile Refrigerator. This is a portable refrigerator that can stay unplugged for up to 5 hours and can hold over 50 cans. It’s the perfect portable device that you can bring with you to any part of your house or while relaxing poolside with some friends. (more…)
