You get what you pay for

You might be wondering why there is a picture of Palmolive Oxy at the top of this post. A few months back I had recieved some free Dishwashing soap for free with my groceries. It’s always nice to get something free, but it really sucked. I had to squeeze a huge amount to get any lather. Then while at a friends house I noticed he was using Palmolive Oxy. I could smell it from a couple of meters away and it smelled fantastic, great, so exuberant. Haha I had to over do it. Anyways I bought it next time I was getting dishwashing soap and it was only a few more cents than the normal brands (and even cheaper than some cheap brands go figure). One drop is all it took to lather really well. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for.

Airport Base Station and Time Machine Capsule Firmware 7.6

Kush — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:47:05 +0000

One amazing thing that I love about having multiple Apple products on the network is that they are aware of each other. Today after getting home from work, I was notified that a firmware update for my Airport Extreme was available. Why would I have an expensive router? Because Apple routers are very solid and I still have had to reset one in the three or four years that I’ve been dealing with them. It’s good to just buy one router than to keep replacing one every couple of years.

Pacquiao Marquez III Disappointment

Kush — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 03:45:31 +0000

I watched the third instalment of the Pacquiao Marquez battle, and I was severely disappointed. I honestly would have even thought Marquez won the fight. This probably won’t go over easy, and if possible they would want another one. The controversy won’t come to … Continue reading →

First iPhone 4S Siri Television Ad

I could have sworn I saw another one, but I guess it was just an online ad. Anyways usually I would not care about posting this, but Apple nailed the uses for Siri in my opinion. Wow what a marketing machine.

Gaddafi’s Death

Kush — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 01:18:43 +0000

Today the news spread around the world really fast, that Gaddafi was captured, then killed. The pictures followed quickly. I remember I thought the picture was really tormenting, reminded me of The Joker as played by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. When I see things like this I really cringe at humanity, but I don’t want to get too carried away here. Anyways I feel it’s hard to know how to feel here. On one hand the the guy killed his own people. Wait let me clarify that better, he hired mercenaries to kill his own people. At the same time, I don’t like seeing people get killed even if they were drunk with power. To me it’s really sad when people celebrate a death, and just wrong. I’m sure many would disagree, but that’s how I feel about the subject.

Rimm is a sinking ship

Kush — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 03:54:20 +0000

So a work colleague shared an interesting article about the recent Blackberry Outage. From what I understand they placed a Cisco router instead of a switch. I know that Cisco switches are complicated devices however when you are running a multi-billion dollar company, you must have backup plans, or devices in place in case such a thing happens. I work with medium sized businesses that range from 100-500 employees, which clearly don’t have as much money to spend on IT as Rimm does. Yet their IT infrastructures are usually built to withstand multiple points of failure, so how does one switch failing take down a corporation like Rimm? I really have trouble believing that Rimm will continue to sail along. Maybe Apple will buy them out for their patents.

The Jane Doze – Bullshittin On My Coffee Break (Zeds Dead vs Big Sean)

Kush — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 23:20:06 +0000

I’m not always the one in my group that finds new cool music. But a couple of days ago I was! Listen to this Electro Rap Mashup. It’s mixed so well it doesn’t sound like an electro track (even the track names mashup really well). Also I would say it sound better than both songs on their own (no disrespect). Jane Doze did a really good job.
