Government must do more with less

Nov

3

When the revenue goes down, businesses will cut the cost but without cutting down the quality or service. When business cuts quality or quantity, that symbolizes the death of that business. But when the government revenue goes down, it always cuts services, quality and quantity. Government must learn to do things with less money without cutting down on quality or quantity. Don't tell me they can't do that, because we, businesses do that everyday.

Unreadable Microsoft Tag

Nov

2

This tag is found on the Acura MDX catalogue. I believe this is a new Microsoft Mobile Tag. I have Tag scanner on my cellular phone but it does not recognize this at all. Why don't they just use standard QR Code instead.

ACURA is using Microsoft Tag ... Why?

Nov

1

I went Acura dealer today with my friend. Their car catalogue come with the tag that you can scan with your mobile phone. When you scan the tag, it takes you to the video.

Unfortunately Acura decided to use Microsoft Tag instead of QR Code. Perhaps, QR Code was developed by DENSO WAVE, sub of TOYOTA. This is a stupid mistake. Only Acura (Maybe Honda) and FORD use Microsoft Tags.

Japanese Yen Raises to the Highest Level

Oct

31

One time, Japanese yen went over 80 yen mark and recorded 79.xx Yen to US$. This was the highest since 1996 when Japanese Yen recorded 78 Yen to US$.

What is this mean?

This is not a good time to travel from US to Japan. But the goods and services made in the US seem bargain in Japan. If you have a product, service or property to sell, you should look at selling it to Japan.

By the way, cars made in Japan are sold in the US for 30% less here in the US. If this trend continues, you may be looking at jump in price for Japanese goods.

Understanding Solid State Drive

Oct

28

A solid-state drive (SSD) is a data storage device that uses solid-state memory to store persistent data. SSDs are distinguished from traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), which are electromechanical devices containing spinning disks and movable read/write heads. SSDs, in contrast, use microchips and data is retained in non-volatile memory chips[1]and contain no moving parts.[1] Compared to traditional HDDs, SSDs are typically less susceptible to physical shock, quieter, and have lower access time and latency. SSDs use the same interface as hard disk drives, thus easily replacing them in most applications.

Today, you can buy 60GB SSD for $100. For $100, you can buy 1.5TB of hard disk drive.
