I bought an Anker Air Vent Magnetic Car Mount from Amazon.com. It works well with an iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 7 Plus. I have only been using it for one day, so there is no need to pretend to know a lot about this product yet.
I prefer using the turn-by-turn direction on the phone than the built-in car navigation system. Mounting the phone by the air vent certainly is certainly better than mounting it on the windshield.
We were down in Long Beach, California today. We visited Amazon@TheBeach to pickup a few things that we ordered from Amazon.com.
Even on Saturday morning, there were a lot of people picking up and shipping back packages.
Amazon@TheBeach is one of many University staffed pickup locations.
I’m still having issues with installing Windows 10 on a 4 TB hard drive. Not even Manufacturers Restore Disc can install Windows 10 on the 4 TB hard drive.

It is that time of the year again where many companies gather in Las Vegas, Nevada; showcasing products that might one day be available for sale. Consumer Electronics Show 2017 officially kicked of on Thursday, January 5, 2017.
The most exciting thing about CES this year is someone brought homemade chocolate chip cookies to the office today. OK, we’re a little jaded about CES announcement. So far it has been boring at best. Hopefully there are some exciting news from CES this year.
One of our colleagues took his iPhone 6s for repair at a local Apple Store and found out that the serial number had been replaced. Essentially, according to Apple database, his iPhone had gone through a warranty exchange some months prior. Thus rendering his actual iPhone no longer eligible for warranty repair.
Perplexed by this issue, he reached us to us. In turn, we contacted Apple for some clarifications. Unofficially according to Apple:
Apple is quick to recognized this issue and started the process of restoring the AppleCare registration on the iPhone 6s.
In this happened to you, don’t panic. Gather all the documents pertaining to the purchase of the iPhone. If you bought an iPhone from authorized iPhone reseller or directly from Apple, it would be really easy to get your AppleCare registration restored. Remember if you kept the receipt, invoice, purchase order and/or the info of the credit card you used to make the purchase; that would make the process much easier too. Contact Apple for support and service, immediately.
We have heard incident like this happened in the past and this is the first time it happened to one of our colleagues.
We’re back to work, officially on Tuesday, January 3, 2017. The sky was gloomy, somewhere in Southern California.
There were conversations about Star Wars, Carrie Fisher, Rogue One and Star War The Third Gathers: Backstroke of the West (link 1 | link 2). Those “Hopeless Situations” are hilarious.

We’re all having a day off and will be back to work on Tuesday, January 3, 2017.
