Canon Loyalty Program – old camera trade-in for new

Daniel — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:06:18 +0000

My Canon DSLR shutter stopped working and instead of spending hundreds of dollars to fix it, I decided to trade it in for a new Canon 50D. This is called the Canon Loyalty Program. How it works is this. If your Canon camera has any problem what-so-ever, normally you could send it in for repair. If you’re out of warranty Canon could give you a quote. But here’s a new option from now to the end of 2009. You can decide to pay a cheap price for one of the latest Canon Camera model and send in your old camera. You can do this even if it’s a very small problem or in some case, I think you can report a problem that doesn’t exist because they won’t need to have your camera on their hands before you can make this decision.

Let’s see how it works and the bargain you are paying.

Digital SLR options, trade in any Canon DSLR (e.g. old Rebel 300D, XTi, 20D, 30D etc) and pay the following price (tax not included below) for the following options:

Canon XS, $359
Canon 50D Body Only, $629
Canon 50D with 28-135 Lens, $759

There’re also other options for other cameras if you don’t own a DSLR:

S10, S30, S40, S45, S50, S60, S70 (SX110 SI was not offered), S100, S200, S230, S300, S330, S400, S410, S500, SD100, SD110, SD200, SD400, SD550, SD600, SD630, SD700-IS, SD800-IS, SD870-IS, SD1000, S1-IS, S2-IS, G2, G5 trade for:
SX110 IS (upd 7/16/2009) – $130 (upd 8/18/2009, 125 to 130)
SD890 IS (upd 7/16/2009) – $150
SX10 IS (upd 7/16/2009) – $200
Rebel XTI with 18-55 mm lens (upd 7/23/2009) – $350

Facebook 250 Friends Limit Removal Guide

Daniel — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:39:37 +0000

FACEBOOK is blocking all your friends in its recent release so what that means is that your Facebook feed will be limited EXCEPT for the 250 they choose. You may not have that many friends but even if you don’t you should still unblock it for your sake. If you do, this is an annoyance because you could be missing out very important information of your friends. It’s OK to undo the block, we’re gonna show you how. So here’s what you do.

1. Go to your home page by clicking on your name on the top right hand corner e.g. ‘Daniel Poon’.

2. Click on the LIVE FEED button.

Windows 7 Cute Girl Ads Featuring Kylie

Daniel — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:20:30 +0000

Loved the new ads from Microsoft which features Kylie, a cute Asian girl. She’s adorable and if she doesn’t convince you buying Windows 7, at least she might prevent you from buying an Apple with the fat computer geek saying “I’m a PC”. From reading some of the comments, some one said “I hope the OS makes me as happy as the commercial did. I can’t stop smiling ”, we hope so too. Microsoft seems to have turned the corner and strike back with Windows Live, a new search engine Bing, and a new Operating System Windows 7

And yes, we have 3 ads featuring Kylie today for your viewing pleasure…

Oh we have more of Kylie…let’s see…How about this one?

How to connect to T-Mobile for AT&T Wifi in Starbucks

Daniel — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:47:34 +0000

Back in 2008, T-Mobile lost the WIFI deal with Starbucks and overnight every Starbucks has AT&T WIFI on it. For T-Mobile customers, they almost freaked out thinking they no longer have access to WIFI in Starbucks. T-Mobile clarified that the roaming agreement would still be in place for a few years. But if you ever go into a Starbucks, they really made it tough to connect because there’s no help or icons made available. Anyhow this post is to help T-Mobile customers who wants to connect to Starbucks AT&T WIFI successfully.

Follow these steps!!!

Yahoo Hires Lap Dancers For Hack Day

Daniel — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 04:18:51 +0000

There seems to be a viral outage at Yahoo! which is a public company that conducts their event (i.e. a Hack Day apparently) with Go-Go girls. The dis-respect for females were apparent. But to add to that is how Yahoo! covered it up as much as they can by shutting down a number of photos or videos posted to their sites. We think this is Lifehacking at its lowest (to generate buzz) even though they had apologized somewhat. This is definitely a brand disaster for the company. Moral of this hack: use common sense.

Exposed: Michael Jackson’s Last Will

Daniel — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:14:00 +0000

Oh we have it, the last will of Michael Jackson here for your review. Clearly the first thing in my head was, why didn’t he do a living trust, than most Californians would do to preserve their asset without having to go through alot of court wrangling? What kind of lawyer does he have? Secondly, for a public figure, the will should probably include more witnesses on the safe side than the usual and perhaps doing fingerprints than initials or both. All of these raises the legitimacy of this will. WHy not have your say in the comment section?
