Cultured Pearls from Japan

Nov

4

Kobe is the largest processing center for Japanese cultured pearls and my friend owns one of the processing and manufacturing pearl jewelry companies. He is asking me if there a market for high end Japanese cultured pearls in the US. He gave me a sample of his work as a gift (pictured).

I am looking for a marketing idea...

I am in the cloud, iCloud

Nov

4

I finally upgraded my MacBook Pro to the latest version of Mac OS X Lion.

Why?

Because I am using iPhone and I needed to sync everything using iCloud. I used to Sync my address book and calendar using Google, but since I am a Mac user, it makes sense to use iCloud.

It is working seamlessly now. I am sure Microsoft wants to do the same but they can't. If they did what Apple is doing, there will be a anti monopoly thing all over again.

From Android to iPhone

Nov

I switched from Android to iPhone yesterday. Because I am a Macintosh user, the transition was really easy. And since I am a iPad user, using iPhone is almost like using small iPad. I think I like this iPhone.

Oh, I setup Japanese on it so that I can read and write email in Japanese. I could do so in Android too. Only phone I could not do that was Windows phone but I heard the new version of Windows phone is capable of writing Japanese.

Best price on Apple Macintosh!!!

Nov

2

Here is a little trade secret about how to buy a Macintosh computer even cheaper than Student and Teacher Discount.

The best price on the Mac is from http://www.apple.com. Yes, from Apple itself. You go to their web site and look for refurbished Macintosh. Yes, refurbished. It is not used. There is a significant difference between refurbished Mac from Apple and other so called refurbished system from any other sellers.

You can purchase "Apple Care" warranty on any of the refurbished system that you buy from Apple, but not from anyone else. You know this is very important if you ever purchased Mac.

Refurbished Macs are cheaper than any Mac system you find anywhere and with Apple Care, it is as good as new.
