We are REALLY living in the Entertainment AGE and The Streamming War is Beggining!

By
Everybody remembers Blockbusters...

It became so famous in the '90s and early 20's that its name was used to coin great movies.
This one is a BLOCKBUSTER the adds used to say or the commercials shout and you instinctively knew that was a great movie to watch or "rent" at your favorite local blockbuster movie rentals store.

Then NETFLIX came... and now... Blockbuster is dead! Not more than a long distant memory, back from the times, one used to have to drive to the store, rent a movie, give it back in 24hours or face severe consequences like daily extra fees and so on...
We really seem to be living in the entertainment age back then... but little we knew...

That's probably why today when I heard on the radio that Disney+ (the new Streaming service from Disney Powerhouse) was being announced for ONLY $6.99 a month I could not contain myself but to be thinking: DAMN!! That's a Steal!! That was the price we used to pay for ONE NIGHT MOVIE RENTAL and now you receive a WHOLE MONTHLY STREAMING SERVICE with hundreds if not thousands of movies and series for the same price. What a beautiful age we are living in! 

Then I suddenly realized that, because I had recently bought a brand new iPhone 11 Pro Max (what a name) that I have received ONE FULL YEAR FREE of new APPLE TV +. 
I even found bizarre that I can't install APPLET TV+ APP on my NVIDIA SHIELD ANDROID TV BOX because apparently Apple TV+ is not on Google Play yet... (Probably because of YOUTUBE TV google's streaming service).

However it is on Amazon Firestick (despite Amazon's Prime video stream service, which proves amazon is probably more open than google), which made it possible for me to install APPLE TV+ APP on my LIVING ROOM TV.

Now, to watch the amazingly great shows of SEE and DICKINSON, I have to be on the living room... not being able to watch in my bedroom anymore lol, due to these "Gadgets war content".

Both GREAT shows I must add! I and my wife I ran through the episodes so fast that we ended in the 5th episodes and thought: GOD DAMN Apple made this "short" tv series just to keep us hooked!
And our dispair to have to wait another 1 year for more episodes was finally relieved the next morning when we discovered that Apple is releasing one episode per week! Woohowwww probably until the 10th and final of the first season of course.

The experience of entertaining oneself with television is not new... what is kind of new is the SEARCH FOR THE CONTENT YOU WANT that now is being spread across MANY DIFFERENT STREAMING PLATFORMS, in the comfort of your home, which is being called:

THE STREAMING WAR AGE

The Streaming War is basically the competition between all of this powerhouse brand names that all of us know like:

Amazons Prime Video
Netflix
Google's YouTube TV
Disney+ 
Apple TV+ 
Hulu
HBO NOW

and so on... for our Attention and for our Money in order to Entertain us.

It is really appalling if you come to think about it!

- I love Amazon's Sneak Peet, The man in the High Castle, The Marvelous Ms. Maisel.
- I also Love Netflix Mind Hunters, Marvel Series, and Stranger Things
- Amazing is Youtube by itself, which I love to "ZAP" through contents, bloggers and channels that I love.
- HBO's Game of Thrones, Spawn, Rome and all its award-winning series are beyond exceptional and not even need to be mentioned.. as they stand out by themselves for great content! 
- Just because it's "free for one year" I gave a shot to APPLE's TV+ and find myself enjoying SEE and DICKINSON's series.

Now I already had all of the above, but was suddenly stroke by the urge to get DISNEY+ too, to watch The Mandalorian Star War Series, All the episodes of Simpsons and much more content from marvel, etc that it is bringing... all for just the price of ONE MOVIE RENTAL, per month! 

Where all of these streaming competition companies and TV watching will bring us? 

What the future reserve for us? and who ultimately, or all of them may be, will win?

Like Blockbuster, that thousands of its stores disappeared in less then one decade, I believe nobody can predict if NETFLIX (today's mainstreaming service worldwide) will disappear neither, or be bought/incorporated by one of the other main and humongous huge companies like Apple or Disney. 

It's also very interesting to see Huge companies just present in your life more and more:

Amazons: Alexa, Shopping, Prime, Music, Kindles are speechless. 
Apples: iPhone in my pocket, iPods, Apple watches and now Apple TV+! 
Google's: Search engines, Phones, Youtube and now YOUTUBE TV! 
Disney's: Parks, Comics, Fox, Marvel, Movies, Series and Now DISNEY+!

It seems that our lives are more and more being taken by the huge brands that entertain us wherever and whenever we go. 

We sure are living the ENTERTAINMENT AGE and being caught on THE STREAMING WAR!

As an example I live in Orlando... so Disney is already a part of my day today in the parks here... now it seems it will be a day to day part on my living room television streaming devices too... If I choose to sign for its new DISNEY+ Stream service!

God help me to find the time and effort to watch it all.. ^^  and all the new entertainment that these power conglomerates will throw at us!

Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27.

By
Muito interessante pessoal, jamais imaginei como se media isso! abraços, Ivan Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27. A nomenclatura dos pregos é algo bastante desconhecido da maioria das pessoas. Isso ocorre porque há muitos padrões no mercado. Existe uma equivalência aproximada entre elas, mas as usuais estão em Polegadas Inglesas x BWG, JP x LPP e ainda o padrão métrico oficial, mm x mm. Entenda o que significam estas siglas: Polegadas Inglesas: multiplique o número correspondente por 25,4 para ter o comprimento em mm. BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge) e JP (Jauge de Paris): são tabelas próprias que indicam o diâmetro do prego. LPP (Linhas Por Polegadas Portuguesas): multiplique o número correspondente por 2,3 para ter o comprimento em mm. No Brasil usamos mais o seguinte formato: JP x LPP Onde: JP é o diâmetro, em JDP (Jauge de Paris) LPP é o comprimento, em Linhas de Polegada Portuguesa. 1 JDP = ver tabela abaixo 1 Linha de Polegada Portuguesa: 2,30 mm Conversao de Medi

BrainstBorming Does Not Work

By
BrainSt orming Does Not Work Why people who brainstorm are wasting their time. Brainstorming was invented by advertising executive Alex Osborn in 1939 and first published in 1942 in his book  How to Think Up . This is a typical description, from James Manktelow, founder and CEO of MindTools, a company that promotes brainstorming as a way to “develop creative solutions to business problems”: Brainstorming is often used in a business setting to encourage teams to come up with original ideas. It’s a freewheeling meeting format, in which the leader sets out the problem that needs to be solved. Participants then suggest ideas for solving the problem, and build on ideas suggested by others. A firm rule is that ideas must not be criticized — they can be completely wacky and way out. This frees people up to explore ideas creatively and break out of established thinking patterns. As well as generating some great solutions to specific problems, brainstorming can be a lot of fun. Osborn claimed

What is the most Important in Life? - Nurturing Meaning: Unveiling the Essence of Human Experience

By

  What is most Important in Life? This question is one that's close to the heart, something that so many of us ponder over. The pursuit of what truly matters in life is a journey as unique as each individual. While there's no one-size-fits-all answer, let's delve into some insights that have resonated with countless souls, as I've discovered through my web explorations. Picture this: health, a cornerstone of existence. It's not just about the physical; it encompasses mental and emotional well-being too. Think of your body as a canvas, and the colors you fill it with—balanced meals, regular movement, restful sleep—create a masterpiece of vitality. Remember, health isn't just a solo act; it's the backdrop against which relationships, work, and passions unfold. Ah, relationships—the tapestry of human connection. Family, friends, partners—these are the threads that weave our story. They offer a sanctuary of love, support, and a deep sense of belonging. They chal

Super Car of the Famous People

Jay-Z's Mercedes Maybach Exelero Price:  $8 million Featured in his music video "Lost One," this car is  truly one-of-a-kind . Made by Italian car company Stola, it was manufactured only once. It is said to be able to reach 218 mph and can go from 0-62 mph in 4.4 seconds. The Exelero, it would seem, is not one of Jay-Z's 99 problems.   Jay Leno's McLaren F1 Price:  $22 million Of all Leno's vehicles, the  McLaren F1  is certainly one of the most impressive, if only for its price. There were only 106 made. Created by Formula One race-car designer Gordon Murray, the F1 is made of lightweight premium materials such as kevlar, carbon fiber, and titanium and is supposed to be one of the best supercars ever made. Tom Brady's Bugatti Veyron Price:  $3 million Tom Brady has seven Super Bowl wins and a  garage full of impressive cars  that he might have a little more time to drive now that he's retiring from the NFL. Perhaps the most impressive is his Bugatti V

Conceitos Sobre a Vida - Repo Men - Um futuro... distante ?!!

    Hoje assisti a um filme chamado REPOMAN - O Resgate de órgãos ou REPOSSESSION. Esse filme é de 2010 e engraçado como já fazem 4 anos, alguém me disse que precisava assistir a esse filme.... Independente das críticas positivas ou negativas, da trama um tanto previsível, e da falto de alguns artifícios hollywoodianos típicos, o que mais me chamou atenção e me fez não parar de pensar nesse filme (até o ponto de escrever esse blog depois de tanto tempo... :) é o fato da FRAGILIDADE HUMANA!  Como somos frágeis! Como não nos damos conta disso até perdermos um membro, ou ficarmos doentes ou, como no filme mostra: perdermos um órgão!  Um órgão!!!! Apenas 1 órgão!!!! e toda nossa vida vai por água abaixo! Nossa estrutura física, Emocional e familiar se desmantela. Passamos a viver dependentes de terapias, remédios, uma fila de espera para um transplante ou como no filme mostra, passamos a ficar endividados para o "resto da vida" com um órgão artificial! Que

59. HUAN DISPERSÃO (DISSOLUÇÃO) Acima: SUN, A SUAVIDADE, VENTO. Abaixo: SUN, A SUAVIDADE, VENTO. O vento soprando sobre a água vem a dispersá-la e dissolvê-la em espuma e vapor. Isso sugere que a energia vital de um homem, quando está acumulada em seu interior (o que é indicado como sendo perigoso pelo atributo do trigrama inferior), poderá ser libertada pela suavidade que dissolve o bloqueio. Julgamento DISPERSÃO. Sucesso. O rei aproxima-se de seu templo. É favorável atravessar a grande água. A perseverança é favorável. O texto desse hexagrama assemelha-se ao do hexagrama Ts’ui, REUNIÃO (45). Lá trata-se da reunião dos elementos que se separaram, assim como a água se reúne sobre a terra, formando lagos. Aqui o tema é a dispersão e a dissolução do egoísmo que a tudo separa. O hexagrama DISPERSÃO mostra o caminho que, por assim dizer, conduz à reunião. Isso explica a semelhança dos dois textos. Para superar o egoísmo que separa os homens é preciso recorrer a forças religiosas. O me
