Yup! you heard me right ! so right that it is even too unbelievable for myself – for in October – it is said to be released at $35 USD. Crazy much? how can anyone sell a tablet that is good enough for anything to be worth $35 USD? even a toy tablet would have cost more i hear you say. Ridiculous as this may sound – this was reported i the straits time a few hours ago. Check out the story below.
MONTREAL (AFP) – A British technology company claims to have developed the world’s least expensive computer tablet for wireless Internet access.
At a cost of as little as US$35 (S$44) apiece, Datawind hopes to supply a market of billions of customers, many in underdeveloped countries.
The student tablet released in October costs US$35, but Datawind released an updated version of the Aakash computer tablet this month for the commercial market that costs US$50. It comes with more features.
Aakash is the Hindi word for ‘heaven’. The Aakash tablets reached their first users last fall under an information technology programme sponsored by the Indian government.
So the spouse bought a new 4 wheeler for the spring – but because the weather had been so spring like even though it’s still winter here – we had been fooling around on the 4 wheeler. We need some Alpinestars Boots for extra protection because him and the brother-in-law loved to rough it out in the woods and going into puddles and mud is their thing. So the next time they want me sitting behind them – I need proper protection boots.
For those who’ve never been on a 4 wheeler – you really should try it – it’s one of the few fun things I do with the spouse and it definitely gives me a rush of adrenalin – good for the health. It’s not dangerous or anything but wearing the proper footwear is very important – since we are out in the woods and on outdoor trails.
When we were kids – we didn’t have much to play with – because we were quite poor – but we always had a yo yo to bring to school and learned all sorts of tricks and had hours of fun with it. I remember having made good friends with my yo-yo and my yo-yo kept me company and the more tricks I learned to do with my yo-yo – the more impressive I got with my little friends and it also taught me focus and how practice makes perfect.
This year, my daughter who is 8 years old had been asking for a better yo-yo to play with – and learn tricks on. So I’m going to get one for her and bring some good old childhood memories – and create some good memories with my kid.
Yup ! just when you think you can’t get hello kitty in anymore different shape, sizes or even dressed up – they had to collaborate with KISS – the Rock Band and this is the outcome. While we loved Hello Kitty to the max – I can’t see ourselves buying any of them. My kid say that it just spoils the whole Hello Kitty cute concept. Even though the top left hand corner one isn’t that weird looking – she still didn’t want any at all. But I guess there will be kids and adults who would love to have the dark size of Hello Kitty – so power to them. There is currently no price tag on the KISS hello kitty but you can be sure that they are going to be expensive.
We’ve always known that LED lights are a lot cheaper in the long run and this year – we’ve changed every light at the store to LED lights. Even the flashing lights on the display windows had been changed to LED bulbs – so we are not worried that the flashing lights are turned on 24hrs a day. Now that LED lights and bulbs has come down so much in prices – it would only be smart to change everything over to LED lights not only for money reasons but for safety ones. Don’t know where to get LED lights/bulbs? try this place led from ledsupply.com for they have lots to choose from. Saving more and safety first – now that is a really smart move we’ve made and I’m not regretting it thus far. We will be changing to LED at home too – I feel that it’s a must.

Since we have a computer store, it’s important that we have health insurance for all our tech guys because our tech guys do a lot of heavy lifting for computers all day and they sometimes hurt their back while working. Sure we have workmen comp. but truth be told workmen comp isn’t enough when these guys get hurt. Why? because I’ve heard stories about these guys who hurt their back and can’t get back to work for months. And back home, there are people who goes see an acupuncturist and these acupuncturist are becoming quite popular in the West too. But I’m a bit weary about the acupuncturist here because you never know if they are really qualified. So if they are not – can one get Medical Malpractice Insurance since they are not really doctors? So I tell the guys that work for us to be very careful when they are carrying heavy stuff – and yesterday one guy tripped and hurt his legs really back – bruised big time and because he is diabetic – I’m very worried for him. It’s not easy owning your own business because you have to take care of your employees not only because of obligation but because we really care about them.
While the Koreans already have their Pink Galaxy S2 by Samsung last year in November 2011 – we can expect this in February just in time for Valentine’s day. So for those who don’t know what to get for their girlfriend this Valentine – this will score you brownie points big time. At 499.99 pounds in UK – so I guess for us in North America we will still have to wait quite a bit?
If there is anyone who loved funny t shirts it has got to be all the geeky friends that I know and work along with everyday. They really enjoy a good laugh and have a huge sense of humor and you’ve got to love some of the funny and awesome quotes on the funny t-shirts. Most of the time when I do buy funny t-shirts they are not for myself – they are usually for my friends and one of the above – I know that I can definitely give to a lot of my friends who dates the most horrid people but instead of giving it to them in their faces – I just give them a funny t-shirt and hope they get the hint. I also loved to make custom t-shirts for some of my friends too – and I get all these ideas online and order them online. But for those out there who wants to give their friends some funny or unique t-shirts – you should because it’s way too funny and they remember you everytime they wear the t-shirt.
When I saw this cartoon – I said to myself – OMG! this is the spouse and I. Well, truth be told not so much I – but the spouse. Can you imagine watching tv with him and he turns to his netbook and does his own things or he would fall asleep? Yes! very frustrating – sometimes I wished I could smack him on his face and shock him up. So has technology turned couples into strangers? I did mentioned many a times to the spouse that I communicate better with him on MSN messenger than personally because he always sounds so darn grouchy – I rather not talk to him at times.
I can’t say it’s a bad thing the internet because I met my spouse online – else we won’t have met – but the almost hanging on to the internet for 20 hrs a day – just is not good practice for anyone – even the ones who doesn’t have a family, spouse and a kid. But I don’t want to be his mother and tell him what he can do and what he cannot do – so what do I do ? yes! i’ve tried arguing with him – I’ve tried mocking him – I’ve tried ignoring him – now what else can I try? I mean it works and he stops for a while and then 2 days later – he goes back to doing what he does best – either on the internet or the tv playing games.
It’s not the WWW – it’s not the games or the console – the problem lies on the person – the spouse is addicted to these things. Sure a big part of it has to do with work – but really – sleeping only a few hours a day and eating junk all day ? mannnn!! this guy is going to have not only a health issue – he will have some social issues when he is old. I just hope he has a lot of insurance and a good health plan.
