I thought this was a hilarious video that depicted conference calls very well. Enjoy! 🙂

Lol, seriously Samsung?
Lol, I saw this Samsung ad shared on numerous websites. Seriously, is Samsung promoting stalking now? This is a waste of marketing dollars.
Compiling what…?!!
Lol, I saw this earlier while compiling Samba4. It says “Compiling torture…” I wonder what it does 🙂
SBC?
Haha, SBC! 🙂
As a programmer I know sometimes this is what you want to say, but what can I say, we have to live with backwards compatibility even if it means twice as much work.
Fake USB Drive
Earlier today I went to the Pearl Market in Beijing to check out what kind of stuff they had. Being a geek, electronics really got my attention, especially the prices. I knew most of the stuff was fake and I had heard about USB drive capacity issues, but I wanted to experience it first hand 🙂 So, I went a head and bought a 16GB flash drive. I had them plug it in and Windows reported 16GB. I also had them copy some data, but it was interesting because as more and more files were being copied the seller was getting nervous. I knew something was wrong. I was still curious so I went ahead and purchased it anyways. Once I got back to my room I decided to run a few tests and below are the results for your amusement. Remember that this is supposed to be a 16GB drive 🙂

Presenting at TechNow09 tomorrow
Tomorrow is the TechNow09 event happening in Royal Oak, MI. ShopFiber is one of the companies presenting. We will be doing a short skit about what ShopFiber is and how it can help the average consumer shopping for electronics. I will be playing the role of “Bob,” an average consumer and Jake will be playing the role of “Neo,” a gadget lover. We are hoping that this will be a very entertaining way to showcase ShopFiber. There is a plan to broadcast the event on ustream and I will post a link once the setup is finalized. I will tweet the link as soon as I find out, so follow me on twitter if you would like to watch the live stream.
I am planning on being there for most of the time after the main event so come and say hi if you have a chance.
SL500 of Laptops?
I just saw in a promotion email that Lenovo has a laptop called SL 500. I thought it was an interesting choice of name because there was a also a Mercedes named that (at least till 2005). The SL 500 laptop is a 15.4” widescreen, ranging from Celeron to Core 2 Duo with 256MB dedicated video card. Does it deserve to be called SL 500? Probably not 🙂
The guy who reads your fortune was fired.
I was a little bored so I decided to checkout orkut and saw the following fortune.
Why? I am guessing that because he was fired (as opposed to quitting), he was probably not good at his job? 🙂
