Boys Hard Habit to Break with 40 sticks a day?

It's everywhere. Posted on Facebook and then suddenly blocked or removed. What's this hype that everyone wanted to see. When I heard about it, I've scoured through then net and then recently I've finally got it.

Excited on what I'm about to see, but when I'd finally got to see it, I was dismayed. Many found it amusing and interesting. For me, it's a complete tragedy and it was the most horrible thing I have ever seen. Who have ever thought the milk is best for babies.

Well, think again, for a toddler in Sumatra was hooked on this bad habit of nicotine since he was 18 months old. He was an attraction in his village and I think the parents were amused with his 40 pack of cigarettes a day. An average adult could do as much 1 pack a day and yet this boy slams the floor and cried when he can't have his vice.

The Tablet Parade, yet, the iPad is way Ahead.

The Tablet "Band Wagon" is here and guess who's playing? Recently, Asus and MSI unveiled its lines of Tablets. The iPad is really stirring it up and could other can keep up with the pace?

Asus - unleashed two of its series a tablet and an e-reader. A 12-inch Eee Pad Ep121, powered with an Intel Core 2 dou processor and running with Windows 7 Operating system. Just as expected boasts of its virtual keyboard, perfect for web browsing activity and for multi-media pleasure. The other one is a 10-inch Eee Pad EP101TC and still comes with a Windows 7 OS but, the specs undisclosed during the exhibit at Computex.

MSI - WinPad, a 10-inch tablet, with Windows 7 OS and powered with a 1.66 GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor. 2GB of RAM, 32 GB of SSD storage and a Wind Touch UI. Future upgrade would be two USB ports and a webcam. And of 'course and multi-touch capacitive display, just as expected it to be, and so as to the rest who will be coming out soon. Too bad, they couldn't be any better.

Slimmer Kindle In August? Do I still want a Kindle?


An ebook was a hit and put the bulky and dusty books into antiquity. Very comfortable and portable, I could enjoy my favorite novels and any other genre of reading you want. I think it was supposed to evolve the conventional reading and turns the rest of it an eBook.

If the iPad hasn't come, how would the Kindle be any better? Will it be like the iPad anyhow? If we don't have the iPad, will the kindle have a multi-touch display. Will it be in multicolor and not in a mono-colored text display? Or a same old boring texts just as like the conventional books always have?

Well, those were the questions so far and besides the existence of the iPad, Kindle had to put out a slimmer version of it? What for? Is it a marketing strategy on its way to challenge the supremacy of the Apple's tablet?

Apple: Wants Bing instead of Google?

Recent speculations that Apple is going to drop Google as its default search engine, and instead replaces it with Bing. Latest rumours suggest that on the next iPhone Operating Software version, it will make Bing as it default browser.

That's a big, Why? It is a fact that, Bing is Microsoft's bet in the search engine popularity. With the race in the search engine category, it also a known fact that none have beaten Google's supremacy, so far. Even with the "marriage" between Yahoo and Microsoft's Bing didn't even made a dent in the preferred search engine field.

So, why drop Google? Is Apple that a show-off and pretends to be better and deserves nothing but the best? Is Apple had enough with Google's application already? Is Apple, haven't had enough with its reluctance in supporting Flash?

Apple: iPad, you are a lifesaver.

"As soon, as I could get my hands on it, I will touch it". The iPad stole the scene in the tablet perspective since its debut on April 3, 2010. The sleek design and an open color touchscreen for web surfing and for all you  multimedia demands, the iPad surely relieves your thirst for it.

It was more like an over sized iPhone(basically). But, the impression and thrill it gave to the consumers  is overwhelming. Numerous, comments received since its launch. Good and not so good feed backs were equally received but, it never was a reason for this innovative gadget not to rose and even made Apple surpass Microsoft as the world's most valuable technology stock.

American Idol Season 9 Winner, Sucks!

I have always been a great fan of the American Idol series. I'm always excited with the fresh and new talent performing with their hearts out loud and hoping to have share of a good and inspiring thoughts from the judges.

Season 1 was the original and lots of good talent in there. Season 2 came and then 3, 4, 5 . . . and then came season 9. Right from the auditions I sense, that, this season shall be a boring one. And yes, indeed!. All of the seasons that came, they have their own share of best and worst auditions but Season 9, just sucks!.

And what's even worse, Lee DeWyze won.

Going for a vacation and into a long trip? How would you like to reach your destination? Throughout the ages the demands for transportation have significantly increased. In the aspect of budget consideration and the time requirement to reach the destination, how to get there, is not anymore a problem.

One may choose to travel by land, sea and air. By land we have the wheeled transports. Automobiles and trains are the on the top list. By sea, there no other choice but to sail in the wide ocean. That is, if you don't want to go underwater. In a Submarine Perhaps? And by Air on a friendly winged bus.

Through the last 2 decades the demands for transport is increasing so as the accident that tragically goes with it. But, amidst the accidents, the Airplane still considered to be the safest way to travel. Plane Crash? How often can it be?
