Apple iPad Case is being delivered

Apr

I don't believe this.

My iPad case is being shipped via FedEx from China. No, I am not talking about bulk shipment. I am talking about my own case. Or am I reading the bill wrong?

What a waste of money!!!

New Viagra SPAM

Apr

26

There are many messages that is going around pretending to be emails from Twitter. This will take you to a Viagra site.

It is clear that Viagra sites are SPAMMING to gain your access. They should be taken out of business. SPAMs are just waste of time and money for everyone.

Too Much Butter!!!

Apr

25

I was at Denny's this morning. They were very slow serving today. When I ordered my breakfast, they forgot to bring out the toasts. I asked several times before she brought them out. She must have been mad, toasts are covered with too much butter. I could not eat them. What a waste.

Once a largest company in the world...

Apr

21

I just received the email from General Motors saying they paid back the government loan 5 year ahead of schedule. Good for them!

I really feel sad. General Motors ... once the largest company in the world is now down to just 4 brand of cars. They still heavily invested in SUV and Trucks.

Even with all the problems Toyota faced, GM still has a long ways to go to catch up with Toyota. I really hope GM will come out strong. I hope they will listen to what consumers are saying and develop cars that people want.

Good luck!

Improving Security

One of the best ways to improve security is to install a video camera. We just did this in our new data center area at our HQ. This system captures and records movements to a server.

Being Green

Apr

15

As a operator of multiple data centers, we consume more electric power than most other companies. We are really concerned about that. So to reduce the CO2 emissions and be green, we are

(1) Using "Green Power" from Puget Sound Energy
(2) Reduce electric consumption by using the natural air to cool our servers
(3) Retire old servers in 3 to 5 year period.

It is not alway easy, but we are try our part. Also, we host 35,000 companies email servers using little over 400 servers. That is 98% reductions in server foot print.

iPad Update

Apr

Apple has decided to ship my order one piece at a time instead of consolidating everything into one shipment. Although the order was FREE SHIPPING, it is a waste of money. They could have given me a discount of $20 or $30 if I wait until everything is ready for shipment. I would have waited.
