Iphone Nook

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

Finally the Nook app for iPhone has the much needed features the iPad has had for so long. I can now use the iPhone I got free from freebiejeebies as a fully functional e-reader. Barnes and Noble is considered one of the best e-reader apps available at the moment, the iPad’s version was the much loved favourite of iPad users for some time, but where’s the love for the iPhone? With the latest release of the iPhone app, they have now included many of the brilliant and almost vital features that it so lacked. iPhone Nook users have almost complete control over the text they read, whether it be the font, the size or even the line spacing. Barnes and Noble have also added the LendMe feature so you can share you books with your friends.

The iPhone version wasn’t the only one to get updated, the iPad version also got bit of polishing with the addition of it’s new rating system.

Little Rupert Is Born At Exactly 9th Hour Of The 9th Day

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

At 9:00 o’clock in the morning, September 9, 2009 was the exact time and date when this little Rupert is born. He must be the ‘lucky nine’ to Rupert and Suzie. The boy came very early than the expected date. Rupert was in the shop printing the instruction manual for motorola v3, when Suzie had called that she is birthing soon. So, he didn’t finish the job but had given it to his assistant and he rushed home. They don’t have a car, so Rupert is thinking of going to the highway and call for a taxi. But Randolf was quick; when he heard the news took initiative and jump onto his car and drove Suzie to the maternity hospital. Just a matter of 15 minutes after she got inside the hospital delivery room, the baby came out. By the way, the baby’s name is Jericho. And it was a normal delivery despite of the expectation of many that she will deliver by caesarean section, because her tummy is so big. But Jericho’s head looks like he was done through a caesarean.

Speaking In English Can Help You Communicate Better

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

My business partner Michael came down from Germany to meet us recently. His company used to supply us auto spare parts which we used to market in our country. Michael did not speak good English but he did understand what was being spoken. That was the reason why most of the times his Manager used to travel along with him. One day when Michael came to visit me I decided to invite him over for lunch at a nearby restaurant. Since the Manager had some other work he excused himself so Michael and I went to the restaurant. At one point of time Michael asked me “how to dvd to ipod”. His question left me confused but I soon understood what he meant to say. He wanted to copy DVD to his IPOD. I told him that after lunch I would help him do that. Sometimes I just wonder how difficult it is to communicate in this world because there are so many different languages being spoken. If it weren’t for the English language it would be difficult to understand one another.

Shopping For Massage Chairs

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Where I live, shiatsu massage chairs really appear to be the latest craze. Whenever I go shopping in the shopping malls, there would be promotions and offers on the latest shiatsu massage chairs. And what I’ll do is I’ll try out the different massage chairs for myself. I’ll sit on the different massage chairs and play around with their functions.

I’ve got to say… it’s so much fun! I really enjoy trying out all these cool massage chairs. And so far, the sales people who are promoting these chairs are always very patient with me. Though, I don’t end up buying the chairs that I try out, each time, the sales people continue to be polite and even thank me for listening to their sales talk.

So will I buy a shiatsu massage chair for myself? Well, I would love to. But they are really pricey, I must say. The cheapest one costs at least a thousand dollars while the more expensive models can go up to over four thousand dollars.
