My official website

Well this is my first post in this category so let’s get right to it. WHAT THE HELLL UBISOFT. I want to preorder Assassins Creed 2 but apparently the collector’s edition in the United States is limited to the Xbox and the PS3. What the hell? That doll is so cool. I want one! However thanks to Ubisoft that is not possible. Because they love screwing people over! While we’re on the topic of game companies, why don’t all the game companies release DRM free versions of their games? Even if they rereleased them a year after the release date so be it. I am sick and tired of picking up a game I want to replay like Bioshock and having to activate it once again. DRM MAKES ME ANGRYYYYYY. Great first post I think.

I have been thinking long and hard about Zelda Online the reviews have been really negative on the forums I have posted on.

I have decided to end the development of Zelda online temporarily.

I think I want to re program it in java bet haven’t decided yet.

Meantime I will sell the domain zeldaonline.org to the highest bidder. You may contact me at Jake{at}starlg(dot)com.

Well if you frequent this blog you may know that I dabble in programming.

A few months ago I ran into a problem. My computer wasn’t powerful enough to continue working on some of my projects. So I decided to look for a new laptop.

My criteria:

• Smaller than 16

My old laptop was an hp dv6000 and it was 17”. I always was weary of carrying it around because of its size and weight.

• Not a Dell

Don’t get me wrong, Dell makes good laptops….BUT…. there support sucks.

Something about not having a complete restore disk, crappy design and horrible support made me look else ware.

• >$1500 and not a Mac

This may make some of you angry but…. I am a programmer and if I bought a Mac I would just install windows on it. That completely defeats the point of a Mac.

Macs are beautiful laptops and a great for regular consumers, however I felt that is wasn’t the right computer for me.

• (optional) Metal case

After saying I didn’t want a Mac… I really want a Mac like pc with the keyboard design and the metal case.

My choice:

I chose a Sony SR because it met all of my criteria and was offering a free windows 7 upgrade.

The computer cost me about $1300 (about the price of a Mac) and I love it.

The exact model is “Sony VGN-SR420J”

My thoughts about my choice:

Well I originally wasn’t happy with my choice because Sony was a moron.

I ordered my laptop 7/2/09 19:30 just after I placed the order I decided I may want a FW instead.

(7/2/09 20:00) So I call Sony and get this response:

(Rep)Hello thank you for calling Sony style this is (Name). How may I help you?

(Me)Hi I am calling to cancel an order I placed 30 minutes ago.

(Rep) I am sorry to hear that! May I ask why?

(Me) I thing I may want a Sony FW instead of a SR.

(Rep) Oh, Ok one second….. May I place you on hold for two minutes to talk to my supervisor?

(Me) Sure.

Two minutes later.

(Rep)Mr. Liscom?

(Me) Yes?

(Rep) I have placed a request to cancel you order. You should receive a response in 24 hours.

(Me) Thank You!

(Rep) Is there anything else I can help you with today?

(Me) No I don’t think so.

(Rep) then have a nice day!

So after reading that you would assume my order was canceled right?

WRONG!!!

Sony has no record of this phone call. (They say)

So I wait 2 days and call back!

They told me that my order had hit the shipping center and could not be canceled.

Then they told me once I received the laptop just send it back.

Ok fine whatever.

One week later check my order status…..

It still has not left the shipping center…..

Great…. So I call Sony Again…… and got the same answer as before.

Then something happened one week later….. I got the laptop!!!
THEN SONY GAVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!!

So I had the laptop and the money not able to do anything with ether

So I call Sony…. and talk to a billing rep….. and he threatens me with fees….because it’s my fault they gave the money back.

So let me get this straight Sony, I tell you made a $1300 mistake IN my favor and you don’t even thank me but instead threatened me.

At this point in time I haven’t even opened the computer yet.

So I wait another 5 days and call again.

As soon as I got off the phone they charged me.

So I decided to keep the overpriced laptop because it wasn’t worth my time sending it back!

Now all you people on the internet can know how Sony treats there customers.

I will post pics of the laptop later.

Funny thing is….I love the laptop

Update:

Since this is the only page anyone visits on my site I might as well update it.

I really love my laptop. Besides that billing problem when I first bought the laptop it has been the best computer I have ever owned.

I do have some problems with it though.

I am unable to run dual external monitors even though I bought a docking station. My card supports it but Sony doesn’t. So I had to buy a USB to DVI adapter and it is supposed to come today. Ill review it for ya’ll.

Overall Sony is an excellent brand and I have and will recommend it highly to friends. I convinced my dad to buy a Sony CW and I may review that also. Sony FTW!
