Most of us out there heard about the new Apple tablet computer the iPad and yes the iPad is high on my wish list.
But what are people thinking these days I now ran in to so many video’s that basicly break the iPad and why I can’t really say. It is such a waste of money and resources and what about the poor people who want an iPad but can’t buy one yet because stupid people buy them to break them.
Let me list what I found so far:
It all started with this iPad smashing video that was live on the day they went on sale in the US
Then there was this video that “tests” the iPad and how long it will last. For me another unnecesary thing. Do you buy an iPad to drop it a couple of time on the floor?
Then there is the typical blender video to see if it blends in a blender. Great the iPad does not even fit in the blender so they removed the back and bended it so it would fit.
and now the last one I found today. Someone put an iPad in a microwave and yes we all know it is gone break.
And the last video even used the 64gb iPad 3G the most expensive of them all.
People can we stop doing these stupid video just to get some attention?
If you really want attention do something good or different that does not waste a 500 dollar machine that is brand new. Would you go buy a car and drive it in to a wall? because to me that is the same thing you know it is gone break.
So yesterday was earth hour and that means that between 8.30 PM and 9.30 PM you should have your lights of for an hour and lots of cities in the world participate in this.
I heard that in 2009 our city (Calgary) used 1% less power compared to normal and that while Toronto saved 15% so people where disappointed about that and they should. But now today the number from yesterday came out and guess what we used 0.5% less power then normal and now you hear all those people being happy about how much they saved. I am really disappointed.
But I think that our problem lies by the organization here in Calgary.
First of all they did not realy do anything to get attention to the earth hour 2010 till last moment. And then there was an event downtown at Olympic Plaza and finding information about that was also almost impossible. But I went there last night because I left my light off and unplugged all the other electronics in my home. The happening down town was not even worth mentioning and that is all I am gone say about this.
At least some big buildings downtown joined in last night the Bow Building was without lights for an hour and the Calgary tower to. And some other buildings had less lights on. But after the hour things went back on and that I don’t get. Why does an office tower downtown have so much lights on on a saterday nights.
Come on people start turning the light off if it is not used. When you leave your office flick the switch. if you leave the washroom turn of the lights.
Make a change for the better not just an hour a year.
Specially for the Calgary Police Department please watch this fun but important video.
OK so now please stop talk and text when you all are driving around town.
The last day of 2009 in the Calgary NE first a swirling Police Car was moving around, first i thought that the driver was drunk but no this lady Police officer was busy texting.
And then just maybe 20 minutes later I was almost pushed of the road by an officer and his car while he was so busy talking on his mobile phone that paying attention to the road was forgotten.
So Calgary Police you are humans as well and if you don’t want us the average people to talk or text while driving then why should YOU make the roads unsafe by doing so?
I liked a little train at Sears and it was on sale before Christmas but I decided not to at that point but then the sales started and it went up from 24.95 to 39.95 and again I thought that that would be a bit much.
But then I visited the Sears website and guess what they have the same product on sale for 19.95.
So I went back to the store trying to get it for the online price but NO they would not pricematch there OWN website.
If I want this train then I have to order it through Catalog shopping or there website and the let them ship it to the store (where they have at least 12 in stock) to me would be just insane to waste so many resources that for me I decided not to order it from Sears.
And people I would advice you Never to buy something in the Sears stores because you have big changes that they will charge you 100% extra like they try with the little train.
If I really want this train then I decided to order it at the manufacturer who sells and ships it for less and then it just comes from Hong Kong.
So i got some spam today and a nice one because it came from the FBI and yes they use Yahoo for there email LOL
