Many owners of the Xbox 360 are complaining about the E74 error. If you are unfortunate enough to get this error, it may cost over a hundred dollars to repair.Microsoft claims there is no single root cause for the error and does not cover it under their extended warranty.

Having dealt with Microsoft throughout the years, I feel the consumer’s pain. I’m really getting tired of Microsoft and their incompetence! The worst part to me is that even though this is a known problem to the public, Microsoft continues to behave like it’s not a major problem. Business as usual!

With Today’s successful test flight of the “flying car”, I wonder if we will be any better off. Driving to and from work on an everyday basis, I already see a number of near accidents as it is. The failure to use turn signals and the distraction of cell phones has led to our highways being a disaster waiting to happen. What will the result of adding flying cars to mix be?

The next logical question is where you would put the “Top view mirror?” I guess we could mount one on the hood of the car. Making the roof of the car transparent may help some, but you would have to take your eyes off the road to see the incoming flying car! I’m not sure that new technology is always good technology.

A friend of mine was telling me about a website that plays music. It’s called Pandora internet radio. It’s a pretty cool thing to have. You put the name of a band or a song in, and it will play many songs of the same type from other bands. It’s a good way to discover new music. You may hear a song from a relatively unknown band and decide you like them.

They have a little section called “About the music”. It tells you a little about the band that is playing. You also have the option to buy the album right from their website. I thanked my friend for turning me on to this site. I have really enjoyed it so far!

I have been looking for information about my health lately. For some reason, I have gotten onto sort of a health kick and want to be sure I stay in good shape. I found a few tips on a website that I thought I would share with everyone. I hope you will enjoy them!

1. People who are an optimist tend to stay healthier over the long run. Looking at the bright side of life can affect everything from your digestion to your overall mindset. Think of good things in your life and focus on those things!

2. Daily exercise is very important. Keeping your body in good shape will help you sleep better and to concentrate on your daily tasks. Walking, running, and swimming are all great ways to keep fit.

3. A healthy diet will help your mind and body running smooth. You may have a treat from time to time, but don’t over do it.

4. Doing a good deed at least once a day will help you feel good about life. Remember to always lend a hand when possible and you will be paid back with good vibrations ten fold!

I hope these tips will help enable you to start feeling better. I know they are simple and general, but they are tried and true ways to have a better life!

I was looking into getting a new monitor. The one I have now is starting to go. It has developed a dark line that runs down the center from top to bottom. It was a great monitor for the time that I had it, but I was thinking of getting a bigger one.

The problem now is that I can’t decide which one to get. Everybody that knows me knows I love a great deal. I was hoping to find one somewhere without having to buy it at retail price. I put some wanted ads out on Craig’s list and free cycle as well. I’ll keep looking until I find the right one at the right price!
