A 22 year old man received an $85,000 cell phone bill last week. The man thought he had signed up for Bell Canada's cellular phone service at about 150 dollars per month, with unlimited mobile Web browsing.
He used the phone to connect his pc to the internet and the web surfing and downloading began. Bell Canada adjusted his charges down to approx. $3,000 but the funny thing is Bell Canada has shut his phone off for being $100 over his $150 plan and never said a word about him being $85,000 over.
Lesson Learned... Know what you are signing up for.

PC World, these are the Top 5 Techno Gadget Gifts for this Christmas Season.
1. SanDisk's Sansa Clip, it's smaller than a box of wooden matches yet capable of holding 15 hours of music, It has a spring-loaded clip. The Sansa Clip plays MP3s, secure and DRM-free WMA files, and Audible books; it's also compatible with Napster to Go, and sports an FM tuner and a voice recorder.
2. The USB 180° Revolving Hub, however, is an ingenious solution. The multicolored dingus looks like a string of children's blocks, with one USB 2.0 port in each of the first four cubes. Cubes #1 and #2 each rotate 180 degrees, so you can plug superwide USB dongles into the top and back, leaving the last two ports free for less outsize connectors. AC and USB power connectors in the fifth cube complete the puzzle.
3. Mighty Ducks Mouse Uncommon Goods' Rubber Ducky Optical Mouse features the familiar yellow waterfowl bobbing in an aqua-colored pond at the base of the 4.5-inch unit.
4. Wi Fi Detector Shirt. Put on Think Geek's stylish black Wi-Fi Detector T-shirt ($30), and you can warwalk. Electric blue bars on the front light up when you encounter a wireless network
Think Geek - Stuff for the Smart Masses
5. USB Mini Fridge: For those of you who just have to do the Dew. USB Mini Fridge draws just enough power to chill one 12-ounce can of soda (or perhaps another beverage of your choice) to about 48 degrees Fahrenheit]]>

EMU. I have been a general business major, and accounting major, a managment major and now finally an AIS major. I have a good job, but I really need my degree in order to move around within or externally from my company. Here is the dilemma. If I switch from AIS to Gen Bus. I can finish my degree in 4 classes. If I stay on with AIS, I have around 8 classes to take. My dilemma is that I really like all the techy stuff. I'm not very good at it yet, but I could be if I had more hours.
I wish someone would just pay me to go to school for the rest of my life. :O)

Miyachi Weld equipment, share a proposal with them to allow me convert their equipment training manuals to power point training, and to teach them about PLC (programmable logic controllers) from my power point program of 614 slides plus other stuff. Anyhow I think if I can share the presentation with “Merlin” it will be more interesting. I have zipped the power point presentation & attached it for you to look at.
You can find out about “Merlin” at http://www.deskbot.com/ and MASH (Microsoft Agent Scripting Helper). I already downloaded the MASH FULL SETUP 7.5 MB .
I want to learn how to do this because I also want to incorporate it in my 10 training programs, 2 books on World Class Maintenance I wrote and many of Miyachi equipment manuals. You can see my web site at www.bottomlinetrainingsolutions.com
If anyone is interested, please contact me. kochj@umich.edu

I've learned more in the last 3 weeks than I think I have in the 2 years combined. Learning the HTML and CSS codes, elements, tags and general makeup has been very rewarding for me. The most important thing that I have learned is that it is much easier with some program software. Writing this manually is really important to know, but I'm so for working with a program. I just have to remember, baby steps to learning everything and everything changes along the way.

My co-worker and I search and searched for over an hour. I finally emailed the author of the paper...Julie Stotler
paper that referenced the Life-H tool. He wrote back and said that he would forward my message to the non-profit that controlled distribution of the Life-H. Sounds good to me... Ok, I went to the site, It's all in French. When I clicked on the English version is said, translation to come soon.
I ended up pulling up a french-english dictionary page and used that to sort my way through their site, found the tool (which only cost $23 canadian, but $300 canadian for permission to use it). I was able to purchase the tool and permission.
So, my question is, why don't we get european websites when we search? Or Russian? How does it work when we search. Do most of their sites not have english translations is that why we don't it on them? Inquiring minds want to know. ]]>
Innovation or Inventiontag:learningremix.emich.edu,2007:/Fall07/julie_stotler//70.12132007-10-25T17:37:43Z2007-10-25T17:49:06ZLarry Schmitt from Inovo made some very interesting remarks about innovation verses invention.

Larry Schmitt from Inovo made some very interesting remarks about innovation verses invention. Larry stated that you cannot give your produc the title of innovation. That title has to come from the community or public. If the public uses the product well and responds to it well emotionally and rationally, it may be an innovation. If it is just a new product that doesn't get used much, it is considered to be an invention not an innovation.
In regards to the iPhone, I read about a research study that Apple did last year in Thailand with the iPhone. The test market was patrons of malls in largely populated areas. Many of the research subjects were not interested in the iPhone because they preferred to speak face to face or they lived in very rural areas that would not get reception.
So, I can see how a product can be seen as an invention in one country or area and an innovation at another. ]]>
