All Star Wings and Ribs Review
Friday night. God, I love this place. Not just for the delicious wings, with the hundreds of different sauces to choose from, but…um…well…for the…“service.” When I walk in I’m greeted with pretty smiles, intrigued glances, and pretty eyes. The petite, young woman with long, lustrous, curly hair says, “hi.” I tell her, “a table for two,” and that my friend would be there shortly. She’s beautiful. All the women here are beautiful. I got the same booth another friend and I – my best of friends – got a month and a half prior, but it wasn’t the same ridiculously gorgeous waitress that came to the table this time. It was a different ridiculously gorgeous waitress. Let’s call her PNS, for “Pug-Nosed and Sexy.” Read more

Tweaking Your Android for Maximum Performance
I have owned Android handsets since the release of the very first model the T-Mobile G1. As the Google Operating System has evolved over the past couple of years there have been major improvements in both features and performance. However there seems to be one area where there are consistent complaints and that is battery life.
While most Smartphones of today pack huge horsepower under the hood and bright power hungry screens there are some underlying aspects of Androids operation that need to be understood. When you know how Android works deep inside your phone you will have a better idea of how to squeeze every last drop of juice out of it. Read more
HTC Flyer Google Android Gingerbread Tablet
This reviewer can barely contain his excitement. Just this morning Fedex delivered the long awaited (Since CES January 2011) HTC Flyer Google Android Gingerbread Tablet.
I could barely wait to open the box and get my hands on what is one of the first 1.5Ghz Android Tablets on the market. The first thing you notice when you pick up the tablet is its comfortable weight (14.8 ounces) and the way it fits so nicely in your hand. One could almost call it a larger cousin of the HTC Inspire or the Desire HD. The aesthetics of the design are identical to some of the flagship Smartphones in the HTC lineup. However what is most suprising is how nicely the device fits into your hand. The solid aluminium unibody construction with solid plastic caps on the top and bottom back add an extra grip. This is one fabulous device!!! Considering that we have not even fired up the device yet that is a bold statement but not lost on the millions of satisfied users of HTC products worldwide. These people listen to their customers and its evident in their products. Read more

Is Your Bank Insane? Banking & Customer Service Issues
This morning’s wake up was the equivalent of a few thousand volts…live wire running through my body! My only reaction was to stupidly spurt out, “What kind of sleight-of-hand operation are you running here”. “Do you want to seriously and sincerely service your public; or, quote policy to them, as to why you can’t help them?” It was 10 am and I was at my bank, TD Canada Trust, to deposit a work related check. It was Tuesday morning, and I needed the check cleared by this Friday, four days away. I didn’t have the energy or desire to go out of town to Woodbridge to certify the check; especially, with a major snow storm already nearing; and also knowing that this severe storm was expected to last for two days.
