With this kind of download speed…

Dear Verizon,

As of today you are the only Internet provider in this particular area, yet you’re only offering a sub-standard DSL service. The contract says that it is a “high speed Internet” up to 1 Mbps downstream. So what cause the downstream speed to be so abysmal? A 64 Kbps is far from 1 Mbps. Well, at least you’re sending some technician to come on Friday.

Yes it is A Different Kind Of Truth.

Van Halen is back with David Lee Roth sans Michael Anthony; Wolfgang Van Halen (Eddie’s son) is taking the bass duty. New album titled “A Different Kind Of Truth” is scheduled for February 7th, 2012 release while its first single “Tattoo” goes on sale on January 10th, 2012 on iTunes and January 14th, everywhere else such as Amazon MP3.

Blabbermouth.net user GhostofPerdition pointed out that “A Different Kind Of Truth” cover art looks like a rip-off of The Commodores “Movin’ On”.

Cannot unsee!

A little project.

I found an iPhone original with broken On/Off switch. So I opened the back to see if I could somehow repair the On/Off switch. It took 30 minutes to pry open the aluminum back casing only to conclude the On/Off switch is completely broken. If only I could find a replacement aluminum back casing this iPhone original.

The Lighter Side of Insomnia: “Sneak Peak” @StealthMountain

Creddit where credit is due.

“Sneak Peek” is also known as “teaser” and ” special preview”; yet it is often misspelled as “Sneak Peak”. Those who use Twitter be forewarned, @StealthMountain will sneak on you and correct you. So I purposely tweeted:

I just want to say: “Sneak Peak”

Then @StealthMountain replied:

@iVeryAm I think you mean “sneak peek”

Nothing much said on http://stealth-mountain.blogspot.com/.

p.s. This post will be automatically tweeted, and we’ll see if Stealth Mountain would reply.

CES 2012 Report

Since none of us officially at CES 2012, we won’t be pretending to cover it. There are a lot of sites out there actually providing CES 2102 coverage. Sites such as The Verge, Engadget and TWiT are actually at CES covering the event. By the way, does anyone know if Gizmodo were given any credentials for CES this year?

IF there’s anything interesting from CES 2012, we will be talking about it. Definitely we won’t pretend to report from CES floor.
