Macy’s plans to install 180 iPod vending machines — made by a San Francisco company — nationwide by fall, its chief executive said Friday.
This has to be one of the most stupid ideas I’ve ever heard of…I can just see it now:
“Mommy, mommy can I have $300 for the vending machine? I want an iPod”
First of all, who in their right mind is going to buy a $300 MP3 player from a vending machine. What’s next, cell phones and digital cameras?
Microsoft Corp. and Chinese-based computer maker Lenovo said Monday they will launch market trials for pay-as-you-go purchases of computers in China and India. Consumers will be able to purchase a Lenovo PC for about half its retail price and pay off the balance over time by purchasing pre-paid cards from Lenovo.
Sounds like a good idea at first but they haven’t clearly stipulated what happens when your “balance” runs out? What if you run out of your balance in the middle of something important and you have no way to get a new pre-paid card at that time…will the PC allow you to save everything you’re working on? What happens if something is due? Worst case what if you only need 5 more mins to complete something and your balance runs out.
Should lead to some interesting situations for sure
First bottled water and now….wait for it….canned oxygen! This is truly a sign of the times and I’d love to see what the ignorant people out there who don’t think we (as in the world) have a serious pollution problem think about this.
I wonder if they’ll eventually offer scented flavors?
Free Visual Task Tips. Hover over open or closed tasks in your task bar and get the image of whats going on in that program. Really cool. A function that has been on OSX for quite some time. Now on Win Xp and being tested on Vista.
A great download and highly recommended. Click read more to link to the site which is pretty self-explanatory using pictures what it does. It’s a great feature that you wish you’d always had and is priceless for people who keep more than one application open in Windows – which would be almost everyone.
Elephant Drive, in association with Amazon is creating a service similar to that of Xdrive. However, they offer unlimited offsite backup free of charge if you sign up as a beta tester!
Although it promises free unlimited storage you have to keep in mind, you are placing all your personal data onto someone else’s servers. I’m sure they have very strict security and access policies but the fact remains is that all your data is out there sitting on a server you don’t own.
It’s excellent for data that is not very personal such as backing up public pictures, maybe some music but I don’t think it’s the best way to go for sensitive personal documents you don’t want to fall into the wrong hands.
For safe, secure and reliable storage you can always go with a USB external harddrive. It’s mobile and you own it…
