Don’t buy the BS from the campigans if the records shows differently,  so Obama IS NOT THE ANSWER for the America unless you want to see another Great Depression because doubling the tax in stocks do have the possiblity to trigger the depression because it will make me to stop trading as well as another fellow investors expressed the same response.  McCain will take care of us as he have been serving for the AZ people for more than 20 years as their Senator while Obama only served 3 years for Illnois ?  That’s shows huge difference in experience.

Few weeks ago, the Viable company have released the brand new technology that enables Deaf and Hard of Hearing people to communicate wirelessly with their product called VPad. They said the retail price of that product is $699 only sells at $99 at the Deaf Expo. So I grabbed the opportunity and went to the expo. The flow of the moving the lines was very horrible there was about 75 to 100 Deaf people in the line and I had to wait in the line for 2 hours! When I finally got the product, I was excited to test the product out at home.

I must say I am quite disappointed with the product because:

• It takes too long to boot up, it takes about 2 to 3 minutes to finally ready to use compared to Sorenson’s videophone that is ready to use less than 30 seconds
• It does not come in with wireless adapter where you have to buy separately for $30
• It does not come with battery where you have to buy separately too
• You can not call any other competiting videophones that have IP address
• The touchscreen is very horrible, I had to push a button several times to get it activated
• I can’t even use the Vpad’s slideshow feature to show my photos as the digital photo frame

This piece of junk for $699 ? That is a true rip off, its should be like $29.95! I am considering to sell it on ebay because its very horrible product

The Federal Government have offered $213 Million dollars to Los Angeles‘ Transportion Department which is called MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) ONLY if MTA wants to convert some carpool lanes into the toll lanes in 3 of most busiest freeways which are I-10, I-210, and I-110.  Will the congestion pricing help to reduce the congestion ? Sure it will discourage the motorists from using the toll lane which results the worsening congrestion in general purpose lanes as it already happened at Orange County and their CA-91 freeway that is equipped with 2 lanes (3 lanes in some streaches) toll lanes which already have resulted bumper-to-bumper traffic just like if its general purpose traffic congestion!  My question is that, why do you want to waste the money if it only save you probably 15 to 20 minutes from the commute if its $10 for a 10 mile toll at the peak times ?  I find it ridicious! What will really reduce the strain in the traffic congestion is to really invest into the mass transit, I mean, really heavily aggressively invest into it and grow the mass transit network to everywhere where the people needs to go including LAX (LAX does not have the reliable high speed mass transit at this moment of typing the post.)  Having high speed mass transit will help, take a look at New York City, Chicago, they are moving really well because they have highly reliable mass transit unlike Los Angeles.  So, the mass transit is deseperately needed, not just buses alone, I mean we need subways, el-trains, high speed rails, more light rails.

She tends to have her husband to defend for her…what kind of leader that is so weak that needs somebody else to stand up for the potential leader so often ?  That shows big weakness, that means that President Clintion will be assuming the presidency once again in the background as this pattern implies as the President Clinton have been defending her wife so often.  Hmm.  Do not vote Democrats!

More than thousands of passengers are being stranded at the originating airport leaving them no where to go as more than 1000 flights have been cancelled for the inspections for wiring and cracks. What will happen to the future of the airline industry as the quality of service continues to decline ? No passengers want to be packed like sardines as the airlines have been adding more sets which gives you lesser leg room. For those of you who works in the airline industry, get your act together or you will never see the profit ever again. If you want the quality of service, go to the little pricey companies like JetBlue, or AirTran instead of those largest carriers.
