New technology called Aereo, and many television broadcasters are taking a lot of heat recently. Aereo technology allows television viewers to skip ads during a show they are watching. Dish network even enabled its auto-hop feature to allow its customers to skip ads. Why all the fuss?

It costs a boat load of money to air an ad, yet what is the point if they are skipped. Now, a long and drought war is bound to happen between network companies and its advertisers. Its not over yet, the company called Aereo has a law suit against them from Fox, PBS, and Univision channels.  Aereo would allow consumers to watch and record broadcast TV online by hooking up a small antenna to an Internet connection.

In a thorough debate, it came out that video games change human behavior. Making a person whom over excessively plays too much violent video games will gain a more aggressive behavior. From the sound of it, all of this logic makes sense. Yet, there is a way to prevent this from happening. If you are experiencing any anger while play, then turn off the game.

Yet, this new advancement does not mean that you will be able to wave your arms in the air to fight dragons; it is only used for voice commands in the game (at the moment).

Resident Evil is a well known franchise that brings fear and satisfaction to its consumers for more than 15 years. Recently released, Resident Evil:Operation Raccoon City had been getting a lot of hate towards itself. Many consumers tell CNN, IGN, and other game reviewers that the game lacks what its purpose was.

The game is a horror, which means that the players would have to brace themselves through all levels for surprises and pop up attacks may occur.

Overall, many gamers were disappointed.
