Netflix and Chill

This week, chief executive of Netflix, Reed Hastings announced it has switched on its service in 130 additional countries. With the company's prompt expansion coming ever so rapidly, one can't help but ask the question, what's the fuss with this dynamic new  program that has creeped into everyday urban culture like a thief in the night? 

Netflix is the world’s leading Internet television network with over 70 million members in over 190 countries enjoying more than 125 million hours of TV shows and movies per day, including original series, documentaries and feature films. Members can watch as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, on nearly any Internet-connected screen. Members can play, pause and resume watching, all without commercials or commitments. Also, as part of its expansion, Netflix has added support for Korean, Chinese and Arabic to its list of supported languages. That brings the total number in which the firm provides subtitles, captions and alternative audio to 21 languages.

Netflix has top rated content such as:

• The Dark Knight
• Kill Bill
• Breaking Bad
• The Shawshank Redemption
• House of Cards
• Prison Break'

As well as original series such as:

• Orange is the New Black
• Daredevil
• Making a Murderer
• Jessica Jones
• Narcos

With the recent news that Netflix has expanded its horizon to an additional 130 countries, the company will only get better in terms of content released and layout. Netflix has also enhanced customer satisfaction by introducing videos in high dynamic range(HDR). HDR videos allow compatible TVs to show millions of more colours and a wider dynamic range (added shades of brightness in between black and white) letting more detail be shown. Many experts believe the impact is greater than that of just jumping from 1080p to 4K ultra-high definition resolution alone. One consequence of using the format, however, is that it requires more data, and few TVs support it yet.

Boxing day, Man's true shopping day

Boxing day, Man's true shopping day

Gentleman, Boxing Day sales are upon us, it is time to rise from our husband chairs and claim the bargains we truly deserve. For most of the year we have seen newer, bigger, better TV’s, toys and gadgets go one sale and every time we are told from our better halves no! They are a waste of money. But have no fear, it's Boxing Day, the one time of year they will let down their guard and let you buy that expensive little treat for yourself, if only to turn your attention away from other purchases. But no matter what reason is it’s a great opportunity for the men to pick up a special gift for themselves and here are the most popular choices.

TV 4K and 65inches and above

Who doesn’t love a Big TV. Big TVs aren’t even necessarily more expensive these days, especially if you can find a good deal for one at the right time of year. And if you can get an extra couple of diagonal inches for no extra cash or even a few hundred dollars more, then it’s a no-brainer. No matter what size your room, you should always have a TV that screams ridiculous.

Hovertrax 

While people may call it a Hoverboard it is anything but. With two wheels and hardly any elevation from the ground, unless you intend to take it off jumps, it should not be called a Hoverboard. However it being one of the most have toys of the year means it deserves a place on this list

Parrot Drone

With new laws constantly being depated and reviewed now could be your last chance to fly one of these before they start to get banned. Amaze your friends with the pictures you can create and make fake promises that they can have a go in 10 or so minutes.  

Fallout 4

What’s a list of Man toys without video games and why not go for the game that is ruining relationships and costing jobs. Fallout 4 is as you can probably guess the 4 major release of the series and has won critical acclaim making it a must have for anyone yearning to live in post-apocalyptic America.   

So happy holidays to everyone and remember to ignore the voices in your head saying that it’s too extravagant boxing day sales only happen once a year.  

Christmas gifts for her

With Christmas just around the corner (literally tomorrow) I thought I'd do a quick post on last minute gift ideas in case there are some guys who still haven't decided what to get for their girlfriends/wives. I hope this list can help!
