Damn your marketing scheme, Best Buy!
I went to Best Buy on Thursday evening because they sent me a $5 coupon. I decided to get an SDHC Card for my DSLR Camera. I have been using SanDisk SDHC for a long time, so it was the one I was looking for. Then I found these:
I’ve never heard of this Sandisk Pixtor. It looks identical with the Sandisk Ultra and so do the specs on the back.
So, what’s the difference between the two?
The price!
Sandisk Pixtor SDHC 8GB is $9.99 on sale, and $24.99 regular price.
Sandisk Ultra SDHC 8GBis $24.99, not on sale.
I looked for “Pixtor” on Sandisk website and found nothing.
I assume that the “Pixtor” line is an exclusive Best Buy only branding.
Damn your marketing scheme, Best Buy!
Limited Gmail intrusions through Google+
From the Official Gmail Blog:
Have you ever started typing an email to someone only to realize halfway through the draft that you haven’t actually exchanged email addresses? If you are nodding your head ‘yes’ and already have a Google+ profile, then you’re in luck, because now it’s easier for people using Gmail and Google+ to connect over email.
Wait, what did he say?
The post continues:
Your email address isn’t visible to a Google+ connection unless you send that person an email, and likewise, that person’s email address isn’t visible to you unless they send you an email.
The problem with this latest move by google is that users are automatically opted in to this feature. It’s time to opt out and hoped that it would send Google a message.
By the way, Gmail users should be getting the notifications on their Gmail.

This is a lazy way to stretch one post into two. Well, at least the photo is good enough for a post.
