Python Eats Passed Out Drunk Guy In India

Python Eats Passed Out Drunk Guy In India

November 27, 2013

Ok I know this isn't a review but I just saw this on the news and had to share it!

So apparently a drunk guy passed out in India outside of a liquor shop and a snake came and ate him! If I knew of something crawling/walking around outside at night that could eat me I probably would not be caught outside alone after hours. Here is the story from SportSmasher.com:

"Note to self: Do not get drunk and pass out outside in India. I have been incredibly drunk in my checkered past, and I have done some things I am not proud of, including passing out cold in some strange places for lengthy amounts of time. However, I am sure that I would wake up from my drunken slumber if a python was trying to eat me, and I think I would be able to escape his deadly coils. That’s just because I am self confident. Pythons are constrictors, so it is likely that the snake came across the passed out man and could tell that he was still alive, since pythons can sense heat. The snake then constricted the man, and began to suffocate him while he was passed out, so if the man woke up and realized what was going on it was already too late. Rest in peace, drunk guy, at least your senses were dulled with alcohol when you met your untimely inebriated end.
If you take one life lesson from the post, let it be “never pass out drunk in an area where human could be on the menu.” Sage advice from your friends at SportSmasher.com."

I feel bad for the guy and his family but how do you let something like this happen to yourself? I guess if we can take anything from this... DO NOT go to India, get drunk, and fall asleep outside! 

Microsoft Surface Review

Microsoft Surface Pro Review

Microsoft Surface Pro

The good: What I like the most about the Microsoft Surface Pro is that it is the size of a tablet but has the power of a laptop.

The bad: Even with it's small size it is kind of heavy and it doesn't have a built in cellular card. The battery life also isn't as great as most other tablets but that is understandable considering the computing power that it offers.

Verdict: If you think that a regular sized laptop isn't portable enough, and an iPad can't do the things that you need it to because of compatibility problems. The Microsoft Surface Pro is what you need to get!

Why did I buy the iPad Air?

I bought the Microsoft Surface Pro 128GB because I travel and go to a lot of meetings and carrying around a regular sized laptop just wasn't working for me. I got the Pro version because I use a lot of windows based programs and the RT version only allows you to use apps from the Microsoft store. I didn't get the iPad because a lot of the stuff that I do with work requires certain programs and the use of Internet Explorer.

What I don't like about the iPad Air

It is Heavy! Despite being the size of a regular tablet it feels like it is double the weight. However it is sturdy, last week I was holding mine in my hand with some papers and I guess I wasn't holding it correctly and it fell face down on a concrete floor! I was sure that I was going to pick it up and have glass everywhere but all I had was a few scratches on the screen.

One of the most annoying things that I can't stand about it is that if you buy the Type Cover and plan on using it in your lap expect to get frustrated. The Type Cover is kind of flimsy so if you apply any pressure to it while it is in your lap you will end up either not getting any buttons pressed or a bunch of buttons pressed that you didn't want. This can be avoided by getting a laptop cooling pad or a laptop workstation or some other hard flat surface to put it on top of.

iPad Review

iPad Air 32GB Review

iPad Air

The good: The iPad Air finally gets rid of the extra wide bezel that goes around the screen. Also, you get an incredibly light weight tablet with a huge jump in performance from the previous generation.

The bad: Why didn't they put the Touch ID fingerprint scanner that was introduced on the iPhone 5S!?!? That means that next year when they put it on I'm going to have to go buy another iPad. Also, it is kind of expensive, I bought the 32GB WiFi + cellular model for $729 + tax at Best Buy.

Verdict: I am going to have to say that the iPad Air is the best full size tablet on the market as of 11/22/2013

So this is the first review that I have done and I figured since I am always buying electronics and everyone is always asking me about them I might as well start doing reviews. I am by no means a great writer so please forgive me in advance.

I bought the iPad Air because I was looking for something to replace my Microsoft Surface. The Microsoft Surface is a great Tablet/Mini Laptop but it didn't have cellular service and it was kind of hard to use with one hand while I was standing for long periods of time. I chose the iPad Air because it has the large screen that I need for doing work, has cellular service, the screen looks amazing, and I can get around 10 hours of battery life out of it(The Surface I got about 4).

If you live in Texas and travel a lot within Texas I would recommend that you get the AT&T model. I have T-Mobile for my cell phone service and it sucks! If you are in a large town you will have service but if you plan on going to Three Rivers or Mathis you won't have a very good data signal. I tried getting a Verizon hot spot with my Surface and the problem with that is your still going to have a bad data signal in small towns and the hot spot will only stay charged for a couple of hours when it is constantly searching for signal. So your best bet is going to be to get one with AT&T cellular service already and pay when you need it.

But why not get the iPad Mini Retina that has the same specs?

The reason I decided to get the Air and not the Mini is because I use it for work and I do a lot of typing on it. Why does that matter? Because the keyboard takes up a lot of real estate on the screen! That is the only reason I didn't go with the Mini. So if you plan on doing a lot of typing on it do yourself a favor and get the Air the difference in weight is almost unnoticeable.

Why not an Android Tablet?

I decided not to go with an Android Tablet because of the glitches that they normally have. I have had a couple of Android phones and tablets and they all seem to work great for about 6 months and then after that I start having problems with them. I think I start having problems with them because I get a ton of emails and notifications throughout the day and I like using the widgets that you can get. I think this uses a lot of the memory(RAM) and that is why they start freezing and acting up.

If you have any specific questions feel free to leave a comment and I will try and get to it as soon as I can. I chose to leave a lot of the technical stuff out because you can find that anywhere.
