One of the biggest things I'm raving about here in the USA are those tech gas pumps. You know what I'd mean if I say their pretty secure, fast and easy to use. I remember in Asia when I'd pull into a gas station how I'd hand over my credit card to a gas attendant and he in turn would walk yards away from me where he'd swipe my card in a room. That is a security issue by itself, I know!

Well, looks like Starbucks is yet again trying to be more relevant in a recession stirred world. They have recently announced their cheaper coffee-and-food combos. They call it Breakfast Pairings and is set to sell for about US$3.95 starting March 3, 2009.

Very interesting news from Japan from CNN.com today. Giant electronics manufacturer Canon is encouraging their employees to check out from office early twice a week to give their employees some headstart to "pro-create".

A friend of mine called me up to say he'd like to meet with me because he's been having problems with his Dell XPS400 system. I said "ok", we can meet up at BestBuy down at GreenBay Road. I thought we were just going to talk about his technical issue with his Dell desktop, but he brought it and shoved it with a stern friendly "fix it please" to my face.
Sure, I don't have anything important to do these days so I gladly obliged and brought home his desktop PC. I ...
