Philips Media Connect

Browsing at new televisions at a local store recently, I had to carefully read the features and specifications of each model. I had to distinguish between the 720p and 1080p resolutions and the number of HDMI inputs for each specific television. Of course, other models have USB ports and even WiFi capabilities.

I came across a Philips brand and noticed the sticker attached. Now read the sticker carefully then look at the laptop that accompanies it:

Steve Jobs R.I.P.

During "Parents Night" in sixth grade, I led my parents towards the computer lab to show off some of my new computer abilities. I forget what I did exactly but using clipart, I pasted a word balloon next to an image of Garfield the cat, with the words "Weekend Warrior". This was back in 1986 and it was done on a Macintosh. By then, Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple.

Looking back, it's amazing how the products he innovated and developed had a lasting effect on me (and the world) then and now.

Here's to you Steve Jobs, thanks for changing the world.

iPhone 4S

It's not too surprising that Apple released the iPhone 4S model instead of the much rumored iPhone 5. With the holiday shopping season too close to the 4S's actual release date of October 14, there was probably a grave chance that many people weren't going to be able to obtain one, if it was the iPhone 5. It's a given probability that the phone would've sold out instantly, leaving many empty Christmas stockings for those wishing to buy one. Of course, iPhone enthusiasts should have seen this incremental upgrade coming.

Macy's Free Internet

Macy's

I recently went into a Macy's department store and on their glass doors, was the announcement that free WiFi Internet access was now offered. Despite being puzzled by the new service, it was greatly appreciated! You are greeted by an service acceptance screen when you attempt to login and you'll easily connect. If you've ever been bored while shopping with someone, take advantage of this free service.

Although I don't have to remind you that free Internet access doesn't necessarily mean it's secure. Macy's makes it clear in the service acceptance screen, that what they are offering is not. Don't login to Facebook or conduct any financial transactions while you're using it.

Last thing Macy's needs to install, is an area for users to hang out in!
