  The Cure to the Swine flu.

  That's right I have the cure for the swine flu.... It's quite simple. WASH YOUR HANDS! keep your hands (and body clean). 70% of the world does not wash there hands after using the bathroom. It's one thing if you can't wash your hands because you live in an area where clean water is not available. but if you live in a area that does. There is NOexcuse. I work for a major American publishing company, and when I use the men's room I see the CEO, CFO, lawyers every day and they do not wash there hands after using the toiletries. Then they wonder why they get these super bugs, fleash eating virus,and strep throat, and the flu. etc. Now it's true that if a person sneezes, near you there's still a chance you could catch something, but. If you can get to a sink to wash your hands it will give you a better chance of not catching a virus or bacterial infection.(Being that most viruses spread through exposure of the eyes mouth, and nose)Also if you can, stay away from those "anti-bacterial" products because they kill too many good bacteria as well as the bad bacteria. Use alcohol hand sanitizers as rare substitutes. This is about prevention. But I'm quite certain that that's how the swine flu spread. By contaminated hands. I can tell you I haven't had a Flu, strep throat, or cold like symptoms for a few years now. And it's because of my cleanliness habits why this is the case. I do get seasonal allergies.(During the spring but that's it) but every now and then no matter what we do we can still get certain illnesses. But the best way is to heal quickly from them is to eat a lot of starchy vegetables, and a lot of vegetables with carotene in them Also eat a lot of greens for calcium. Eat a lot of fruits that contain vitamins C, D, and E.(I mean more than usual) if you dothese things you can beat swine flu, and a whole host of other things. Also don't forget the liquids!And you'll be on your way to a speedy recovery!!!

  Reason 11 why you should buy a PS3

  Better quality. The Wii might be a child's toy but it's way morereliable than a 360. That being said, the Stopbox 3fixme is now covering a new malfunction in there Warranty. E74, on top of the RROD AKA the 3 Red lights. Now rising the 3fixme's failure rate to 68%. PS3s fail like anything else man can make. but the failure rate on a PS3 is less than 0.03% The fact that the 3fixme is 5 years old and is still plagued withRRODis beyond me. (why anybody thats rooting for any console would stand for this if their console kept failing not once not twice but 3-6 times!?!)

  10 Reasons why you should buy a PS3

  Here I just wrote down some reasons why I think a PS3 is worth a purchase. Some these statements are factual most are just opinions and are not to be taken too seriously. That means you Xbots!

  Reason 1.Hardware, it's a well designed machine. The architecture is brilliant. the way it looks, the fact that there's one fan that cools the entire motherboard is brilliant. The controller has bult-in rechargeable batteries! And now they come with rumble. And they motion sensing capabilities.

  Reason 2.RELIABILITY. Yes with 21 millionplus users world wide, the PS3 has proven that it is a relable machine. with less than a 0.03failer rate.Myself and one of my Co-workersare the only peoplethat I know that had to go through more than one PS3.( Went through 1, the problem was a Malfunction of Backward compatibility Tekken 5 for the PS2 would not eject. My co-worker's PS3 he dropped, itwas his fault but it was under warranty so he got his fixed, and because through time he hadn't updated his PS3 it got corrupted files on his HD, so he had to get a 3rd {Brand new 60GB PS3.} But other that, No problems with his PS3. What happened with mine was 2 years ago, his 2 years ago as well, no problems since.) But these were rare incidents, the 360, well that's a different story as you all know.

  Reason 3.Games nuff said right there. PS3 now, not (2007, 200 but now PS3 gets 95% of what he 360 gets. Both have exclusives, but now (2009) PS3's exclusives are starting to look superior to the 360's. Infamous looks great, Killzone2 completely took the masses by storm, we have Uncharted 2 coming out.(Uncharted 1 was one of the best looking games I had seen at the time.{Better than anything I had seen on the 360 at the time} MGS 4 is a great game, both game play story and graphics.(I was surprised I thought it wasn't going to be as good as the others, but I was wrong) Little big planet shocked me as well, MLB 09 the show, the best Baseball series on the video game market.(It has always been consistent since the PS1 days) Resistence 1, 2 (both excellent exclusives)Also to mention that a lot of these PS3 exclusives were rated HIGH on this very site.

  Reason 4. PSN were do I begin? It's free, for one thing. 2nd thing is has come along way! It is just as comprehensible as Xbox live. And PSN is up to par with it. And Sony's movie rental list has far more of a movie selection as XBL's Netflix. PSN is loaded with arcade games that are fun to play. Comet crashers, Worms, Burn zombie burn(even though there should be a mult-player for it it's still a great game.) Siren blood curse, Ratchet and Clank quest for booty, Wipeout HD, Grand tourismo HD, Flower, High velocity bowling, Tekken 5 dark resurrection, Mortal Kombat 2, these are just a sample of what PSN offers as far as download able games goes. PSN is starting to trumpXBL.

  Reason 5. Higher storage media. YES Blu-ray has proved itself, both as a movie media and a game storage media as well. For example MGS4 has a lot of cut sceens,but it is very hard to distinguish between the cutsceen's graphics and the gameplay's graphics, the game has to install itself , 5 times!(there broken down into gaming breaks which you should do for health reasons)That game takes up 50GB Killzone 2 has to be atleast 25GB of space.(the environments and Character models are much larger and have way more polygons than Halo 3 or COD 4) that game makes you feel like you on heilgahst and that your fighting a war. A higher storage media only improves games not hinder them.

  Reason 6. Cell processor. The reason why I brought this up is because this chip has 7cores(SPEs which act like cores) they allow for doing excessive work faster while the 256MB RSX GPU doesn't have work as hard and overheat.(Not to say that it doesn't get hot i'm just saying.) What does this mean for gamers? Well it leaves developers more room to work on AI and process larger tasks faster which means this can make games more challenging, and more can happen on a screen at one time than in previous consoles. Like most of the PS3 exclusive games are more difficult to complete.

  Reason 7.GPU. PS3 has only a 256MB graphics processor, but PS3 graphics card is NVIDIA.(The best video card in the world) You can't beat that.(I'm sorry xbox ATI is second best, M$ you should have given NVIDIA there just due funds, now your stuck with ATI raytheon, the bomb makers lol!) AnywaysI found that games that take advantage of this graphics card such as Uncharted, Killzone 2, MLB 09 the show, look light years better thananything that I've seen on the 360. It may sound biased but consider this I have a 32inch 1080i SamsungHDTV that is LCD, I had both consoles(thanks to the piece of sh__ 360 RROD I don't now) I had PS3 on composite hook up I had the same set up on the same HDTV. Ihad Gears of War, Halo 3, Assassins Creed(both versions of the game) and MLB 2K9And I would flip back and forth, Killzone 2, MLB 09 the show, and Uncharted graphically BLEW those 360 game completely out of the water! I'm not kidding you all I was like "wow I can't believe how much better these PS3 games look on the same TV!" Now I have it HDMI, now the games on PS3 look light years better than the 360's but It's just going to ge better for PS3 as time goes on.

  Reason 8.Built-in Wi-fi. This is a great feature Don't need to be right were the source is to online game. And don't sit up here and tell me that "it doesn't improve gaming" because it does, it's a lot more convenient and cheaper than spending $100 for a Wi-Fi antenna. LOL!!!

  Reason 9.User base. Eventually It's going to grow larger than it's 21 million plus (the 360's will also but PS3 fans don't have to worry about that because the PS3 is a lot more reliable than the 360 and eventually more of the 28 million plus 360 users are not going to keep putting up with that RROD nonsense.) In Japan PS3 has outsold the 360 by 10 miles and like me they don't want the Wii why because PS3 has better games and is a superior machine. This is now the 3rd week in a row the PS3 out sold both there.(The trend is going to spread here in America also just wait and see.)

  Reason 10.Longer life expectancy. PS3 is going to last long. By 2015, Wii-HD will be here along with Xbox 720, 180 or whatever there going to call it, and guaranteed it will have motion sensing controls, Blu-ray drive built-in Wi-Fi, and less attachments than a hoover automatic, if not so the xbox is going to burry itself into the ground.(It's going tobe the PS3 all overagain.The Nintendo Wii-HD is going to bejunk just like the current Wii. The only good thing the Wii has done is brought the ladies into gaming.(that's it) but other than that the Wii is a waste of time. It's fun factor does not last, ask Japan they'll tell you.

  In concluding I would like to say that my experience with the PS3 has been great so far. I like it's games I like it's features.(and I think there better than that of the 360.) I like PS3's games better and I believe that sony does a good job of showing what the PS3 can do. And so far the PS3 has done so. All it took for me was to give the PS3 a chance. And once my 360 RROD PS3 was all I had. After it started to get better, my2nd 360 RRODed again cause M$ to send me a new console. I sold it to my cousin and that one RRODed 3 months later.(true story) That should tellyou xbox fans something about that product. EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT I KNOW THAT HAS OR HAD A 360 has gone through at least one of them. The fact the 360 has, or had a failure rate of 33% is quite bad! It shouldn't even be 5%! Let alone 33% 16% or what ever it is. I mean is if you haven't tried out a PS3 yet you should. And I don't mean playng one on at some Kiosk in some store. I mean going out and purchasing one, or play your friends PS3. They really are remarkable!
