The headset comes with 3 set of ear buds, a USB wall charger and a micro USB cable which is really short. The packaging is very easy to open and use it was a breeze. Here are the pros and cons of the headset:

Pros:

1. it fits well in the ears while running and doesn’t fall off
2. it is sweat resistant
3. it’s wireless
4. the sound clarity is good but not as good as a wired headset. At least there is no statics if used properly.

Cons:

1. the phone needs to be on the right hand side of your body since the receiver is on the right ear piece, so if you put it one left pocket there is lot of connectivity loss.
2. the battery life is really bad which is around only 1 hour 45 minutes so basically every 2 runs I have to recharge. This is already mentioned in the spec though.
3. it can be used a Bluetooth headset for calls as well but the microphone picks up lot of wind and behaves like a cheap 10$ headset.

Even though the cons are annoying but the pros out weigh the cons and I would recommend this to any one who needs a wireless headset to listen to music during activities.

Next to a 8oz coffee cup

I tried out running the tool as admin and making sure logging services are running which didn’t resolve the issue with notification.

Then I finally deleted all the files in the log folder which resolved the issue. I did find a blog post stating the same after the fact.

As a best practice for development machine everyone should just set the Trace Log folder size limit to 1 GB located in central Admin> Monitor > Diagonistics  to avoid this issue in future.

For those 2 hours I couldn’t see real time logs through ULSviewer I realized how gr8 the tool was and how much much I’m dependent on it.

Kudos to the team who gave us the ULSViewer.exe

For all those people all I have to say is

where there is only slight delay of say 5 to 15 years in processing the orders and we do clearly understand the feeling you are going through.

The only available cure for this is to just wait for the time to pass.

Yet another irony after a long time that I noticed.

Probably I will try to get the lyrics in tamil and post along with this post sometime.

I thought Willow TV was one of the good business that finally found a way to feed the cricket starved North American south-Asians with a HD streaming for a fair price of 15$ per month. When my friends were watching pirated online streams of World Cup me and my friend paid 150$ to watch Cricket world Cup and believe me the picture clarity and the feeling of not pirating was gr8. I was happily boasting Willow TV to my friends and encouraging to shy away from pirated feeds which broke all the time, but today I’m recommending all my friends please not to give business to Willow TV and below is the reason.

I took up the monthly package for the 2012 India Australia One day series and got it extended for the Asia Cup series as well. Since there wasn’t any India series coming up in April I wrote back a mail to Willow to cancel my subscription and I got 2 mails from them one stating that 5$ has been charged for cancellation charge and other from CSR stating the same which is ridiculous.

When I request the reason for 5$ cancellation they point to flimsy terms of service which is never shown when a user signs up for the monthly package. Looks like this problem has been going on for a while and this unethical of Willow TV to punish users for canceling service when they have monopoly over cricket streams over North America. I’m not sure if I can file a complaint with Better Business Burea or even report unauthorized charges to my credit card company since it was my mistake not to read through the terms.

The least I could do is make a blog post and show the world how Willow TV treats their customer and hopefully this posts hits the first page of Google during searches.

So long Willow TV no more business from me and hopefully all my friends.

As per the status on 2011 resolution I was able to achieve only 3&4 and partially the 2nd item where I lost 5 pounds but gained it over the end of year vacationing in India. So yeah last year wasn’t the greatest but it wasn’t my fault that I was totally occupied watching India win the world Cup with all my friends.

Thanks to Facebook which I joined starting of last year exactly today my blogging activity has drastically gone down to 7 posts for the whole year.

Well this year I have decided to stick with only 3 items and try to achieve it. Here it goes:

1. Thanks to my new favorite activity of Running that I picked in Sep 2011,now I would like to run 500 miles by the end of 2012 if my legs can keep up.
2. Become a Good Sharepoint developer, I’m just now in the ice breaking phase.
3. Less Coffee more tea.

All of the above require need a lot of dedication and motivation to accomplish. Hopefully I keep my self motivated to achieve all of it before end of 2012.

“After a so & so incident(mostly bomb blasts), the so & so city city people stood resilient,bold and went for work with out any issue”.

These statement has appeared so many times across different countries during different times since I knew and all I have is these questions for the writers.

1. Do you really think that the people of any nation/city really care about the incident? unless they are a close friend or relative.
2. Do you think most of the people have the luxury to take  a day off after the incident occurs?
3. Do you think the government/corporate going to give mourning day offs? unless its a natural disaster that’s affecting a huge area.

Just stop these statements it really doesn’t make sense and report/follow up on the investigation of these blasts and please delete this news template as well.

It has no action,no graphics just arguments going on between a group of scientist and man that was awesome to watch and listen. Well I’m actually feeling productive after watching such a thought provoking movie.

My mind is already wandering around like crazy, hopefully I will get some sleep.

Its available in Netflix instant stream check it out.

The last time we won in June 25th 1983 I was a 3 month baby and missed it out but this time I’m here alive celebrating, enjoying every moment and going nuts. I’m still high on the victory and not sure if it will go off in a day.

I feel bad that I’m not in my home Chennai, India to celebrate and party with the crowd.

Lot of people turned for the world cup finals @ my place and we had a huge party after the match and totally enjoyed it. It was worth spending money on Willow TV for watching the match.

Here is an winning moment video:

After playing around with Ps3 I realized its not a good fit for my internet streaming content and decided to go with Roku which was offering more content that I liked. So when I bought the Roku XDS (99$ – 50 = 49$) from amazon.com  again and the ps3 50$ promotional credit applied itself and there was no way for me to remove it.

In a few days I returned the ps3 as well and I got back the full amount of 299$ credited towards my CC to my surprise since according to their promotional offer for ps3 if I return the product then the 50$ credit would be charged to my credit card.

So I thought may be its a different work flow process and eventually they would charge me . After like 10 days and me checking my credit card statement every day I got really frustrated and sent a mail to customer service asking why Amazon.com hasn’t yet charged the remaining balance for Roku XDS order.

To my surprise when I checked my mails just during the snooze sleep time, an customer service agent replied that they will not be able to charge the 50$ to my account and keep it as a compliment.I ignored it assuming I was dreaming and went back to my snooze cycle. So I finally opened my mail in the evening to check my mails and saw I wasn’t dreaming but the mail was true.

Eventually I didn’t feel comfortable getting 50$ as a compliment so I transferred it to American Red Cross for the Japan earth quake relief through amazon.com.

I’m quiet impressed with Amazon.com service and I will surely use their business more. I just can’t wait for amazon.com to get more streaming content.

Below is the email communication.

Hello,

I understand that you’ve returned the PS3 but still the promotion of $50.00 was applied to this order.

I also understand from your e-mail message that you need to remove the $50.00 promotions and charged to your Credit card.

I’m sorry it is not possible to remove the $50.00 promotions once it has been applied.

As our compliment, you can keep this $50.00 promotions.

Please accept this our compliment.

Thanks for your understanding.

Your Name:A AL
Order Id:
Other info:PS3 promotional disc not yet removed from this order.
Comments:I placed this order and the promotional 50$ discount which I got through PS3 was applied. But I have returned the PS3 and amazon has credited the full amounts to my Credit card and gift card. I was wondering when will this 50$ promotional will be removed from my order and charged to my Credit card.
Looks like some where along the return process Amazon forgot to charge me 50$ and it won’t be fair of me to accept it as well.

Thx
AL
