Reviewed: Ninja KS 1100

Posted on by

OK, here’s my review of the Ninja KS (Kitchen System) 1100. As you might recall I got this back in December. Since the holidays, I didn’t get to do much with it. Especially since it was “back-ordered” and all that. The cookbook arrived before the actual system itself, which was in a way Really nice, but in another way very cruel, since you could not make some of the great recipes in the book.

The Ninja is dishwasher safe, so cleaning is a snap. Although I admit that you can also clean the system by putting some hot water in it, and a drop of detergent. Blend it and voila, clean. It was a suggestion in the care and cleaning of the Ninja. It works great, but I still like washing things by hand.

I decided to make the pizza dough from the cookbook. This was a success! Making the dough was very easy. At first, you have doubts, only because it’s not normal. But after it comes out, it’s great. I even refrigerated the dough and made the pizza the next day. It was very tasty, and like the cookbook says, it’s pretty much a starter dough for just about anything. I also managed to make bread sticks with it as well. I just rolled out the dough in sizes of bread sticks I’d like and put salt and garlic powder on them. Baked them just like I would a pizza. Turned out great.

My sister was visiting me, and wanted to make a protein shake, and she blended some yogurt, water (I had no milk) and some frozen fruit I had. It turned out pretty good, and it blended very fast. Although, she admitted the milk would have made it taste a bit better.

Also from the cookbook, I decided to make a Mocha shake. It turned out awesome. I think in the future, I’ll probably end up using the Ninja to make any blended coffees. This is a great bonus, since Meesh already loves her coffee. We also tried the candy bar crunch recipe in the cookbook as well. Wow, this turned out to be a success! Actually, what I did was in essence, create a Tagalong blizzard! Eat your heart out Dairy Queen! This was awesome. The possibilities are endless!

All in all, I think the Ninja KS 1100 is an incredible product. I’m Really thinking I can safely get rid of my old blender. I would recommend this to anyone out there. You can also buy the Ninja at your local Target as well. They usually have a pretty extensive “as seen on TV” section.

Blizzard sues WoW Bot maker

Posted on by

World of WarcraftI’m sure any of you who have ever played World of Warcraft will know about the “bots” running around the world. Basically, people buy a program that will do everything for you, and have it run 24 hours a day, collecting money, gaining experience, or whatever. And they don’t have to do a thing. Now, isn’t that cheating? I think so.

Blizzard, the creators of World of Warcraft, suspends or bans accounts based on them using a bot simply because it interferes with normal operations of the world. A bot doesn’t sleep. It doesn’t stop to eat, or go to the bathroom like a human does. So you can see the disadvantage already. Humans cannot possibly keep up with them.

Well, apparently Blizzard is now sueing the bot creator. The creator has no idea how they can sue him since he is not infringing on any copyright laws because it doesn’t copy any part of the game. However, Blizzard is insisting that it violates copyright because it makes a copy of the game and puts it into RAM to bypass any detection by anti-cheating tools.

Who can say who is correct, but honestly, anyone who cheats ruins the game for everyone else. Seriously. I Really hope that blizzard wins but I’m sure it won’t stop someone else from creating another type of program that wouldn’t violate copyright laws.
