BuckyBalls Pink

Pink is definitely pretty - but you must be wondering what do they do right?  I wondered too - I walked around Staples the other day and saw these on sale.  So I looked at it - and it didn’t really tell me a lot.  These buckyballs has 216 neo-magnet balls and are made with nickel finish.  Well, I found a video on youtube on it - and it looked pretty fun - basically - you just turned them into things and shapes you want. Apparently, these are made to relieve stress but not for kids to play with - guess they are afraid that kids may swallow them - and I won’t rule that out - because I pushed an eraser into my nose when I was a kid.  What was I thinking right?  Pretty amusing - and it would cost you like $30 for them - after shipping.

Dog Poop Solution

Dog poop has always been a problem in this town - and it irks me so much that owners of dogs do not want to pick up their dog poop and is almost happy that they are letting their dog poop just about anywhere they want without feeling the least guilty about it. In my opinion, if you want a dog, then you need to pick up its dirty poop.  Yes! yes! it’s yucky ! then don’t keep a dog !!

But for these irresponsible dog owners - there is a dog poop solution coming your way soon - and hopefully, you will spend some oney to get this ashpoopie because if you don’t then you don’t love your dogs at all.  So have a conscience and get it!

Ultraman Noodle Timer

For those who eats cup noodles - this is the ultimate gift - for a perfect cup of noodles - Ramen to be specific here.  This colorful kitchen timer comes in the shape of the glowing heart of Ultraman. Use this timer to time your ramen while you cook it. It starts out blue, then changes to red after 2 minutes have passed, and after the three minutes you will hear Ultraman calling out his signature scream to alert you. Comes with special attachment parts so you can attach this to your refrigerator or even your clothes!  Those who grew up with Ultraman would also surely enjoy this gadget.  If only it was a wee bit cheaper - I would get it - but you have to fork out $27 USD for this ultraman gadget.

NetFlix Hike Prices

So i heard all over radio today and also all over the internet that Netflix is finally hiking its prices and showing its true color!  hahahah!! good for us the small business - who is trying to hold on and make a little money - maybe now those on Netflix will be able to see how supporting your local business is important.

So for those who wants DVD in the states as part of your subscription still - you will have to fork out $16 per month now instead of $9.99 - still a very low price - but I heard the movie selection sucks big time.  I agree with everyone else that the streaming is only great for kids - because there are a lot of tv shows that even my kid haven’t watched - but for movies - nah !  it’s horrid.

iPhone For Virginity

So I read on AsiaOne how a girl in China wanted to trade her virginity for an iPhone - but not just any iPhone but an iPhone 4.   Some people said it is crazy and some said it was a maliciious prank but lets take a look at this.  The girls here in the West sleeps with just about anyone - and gets nothing for it - at least this girl in China - is more enterprising?  at least she is getting something back for her virginity right instead of sleeping with some kid - who doesn’t know what they are doing.  Of course, we don’t want our kids to do something like that and yes ! it is crazy - but who are we to say what is right and wrong right?

Omlette Pan

I saw this so called perfect omelet pan on sale at williams sonoma the other day for $40 and thought that they were really special but only to find out that really it is nothing special - and if one needed a $40 omelet pan to make perfect omelet that would really be too funny.  Even someone like me can make an almost perfect omelet but if you really feel you need to splurge go right ahead - haha!  but for me - I’ll keep that $40.  I may  not cook as much - but even I can make an omelet - you don’t need anything special to make an omelet.

Taiwanese Girls In Panties Only On Subway

Yes! you heard right - and I even saw a video of it on Apple Daily.  The guys on the subway were either shocked or pretty shy - but they were staring directly at these 20 or so more models - who were maybe paid to go onto the subway without their pants.  Would you do it?  pant-less day they called it - what else is next my  grandmother would asked haha!   I heard “Reebok” was the sponsoring brand - so I’m pretty sure they are paid then.

HX 1000W Power Supply

We do sell power supply for your computers but they are normally between 350W and 550W - so when you see a computer come into the store with 1000W and it’s a Corsair - you will know that the customer is a gamer and a die hard one.  This beast could easily cost about $200 or more while normal power supply is between $45 - $65 but you pay for what you get and it was a really quiet computer - even though the computer itself was a monster too.  HX1000W main cooling system is 14cm fan, comes with thermal control, fan speed and noise is very low when loading is light. The noise is acceptable when heavy loading.   HX1000W fan comes with high quality CORSAIR mark board. An interesting eye opener for me - the customer paid about $6K for this machine - a few months ago.
