ACURA is using Microsoft Tag ... Why?

11月

2日

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

11月

1日

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

10月

29日

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.

Android Supports Flash

10月

Did you know Android phones like HTC EVO supports Flash? That means you can view sites like http://www.clocklink.com. The reason why I am writing this is that Apples iPhone and iPad do not support Flash. Apple recommends HTML 5 instead.

Flash may be power hog for mobile devices, but they are fun and very popular. If Apple decides to support Flash on their mobile devices, they will be more popular.

Microsoft just released Microsoft Office 2011 for Macintosh. The price $199 and this includes WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT and OUTLOOK. I am using OS-X Mail and PAGES, NUMBERS and KEYNOTE. I do have some compatibility issues with documents created by Microsoft Office. So, I am thinking of switching back. Should I?
