Smart Homes & Condo

It is funny how Asia are so advance in certain things.. and you would think the West would be even quicker to come out with ideas like the Asians.  Only in 2006 did i hear that the technologist in the US are looking and promising these smart homes to the consumers.

Automated lighting and intelligent climate control with audio/video .. in the entire house to see what your maids and wives or husband is doing while you are at work, is not new to me .. at least.  Having said that.. these multi million gadget custom homes are not for everyone back home.  But now, you can get homes here in the range of less than 1 million.  I’ve often wanted to stay in the Outer Banks but I don’t know if they are offering these custom homes.  With economy the way it is.. it wouldn’t be a surprise to me if the developers decided to go this way to stir up the market .. with this novelty.

WiFi Bags

Would one really need a WiFi Bag to locate where they can get connected and go online when they are traveling to  las vegas or on transit in any airpot…??  Hmmm..  truth be told.. if i were traveling a lot still.. it would be the easiest.. instead of having to whip out the notebook and then to find out the level that i was in . .did not have any .. then i would have to put everything away.. and then go hunting for one.

And if you are on the road a lot, well - this really might be the best investment you’ve made.  The Spanish company called Soyntec has it for sale at $62 and they even warranty the bags for 36 months.  I would check it out if i were you.

Iomega

Wow..!! it had been a long time.. since I encountered with one of this.  Iomega was a huge name.. some 20 yrs ago, i remembered my ex-boss all hyped and so proud of his back up system. A 500gb now cost only $159.99 ..  but many years ago.. it cost my boss like $500 or more.. and one can buy a few  espresso machines with that kinda money. Nah .. i didn’t buy it then.. and am glad i didn’t need it.. but for those who has lots of important stuff, then this is a great buy now.

Software Piracy

I read over the news that some Chinese gang selling software counterfeits were arrested and sentenced to 6.5 years of jail in China.. the harshest sentence passed down in history for China’s piracy laws.  These ppl were charged for selling at least $2 billion worth of Microsoft counterfeit softwares/programs.

For those who are not aware of this.. a local computer store got busted too.. for selling or installing pirated copies of Microsoft softwares in this small town too.  I heard (rumors) that Microsoft went after them for half a million dollars. They declared bankruptcy.. but i heard they are still doing it from home.  Oh well.. i guess they have to pay for a living, lighting and power eh.
