Griffin Technology Stylus for iPad.
I picked up a Griffin Technology Stylus for iPad because it was on sale at a local electronic store. I wonder if stylus like this would work great with iPad. It all depends on the Apps, sometimes the stylus works great and sometimes it doesn’t.
It does work with most capacitive touch screen.
ADATA Technology USA
I stopped by ADATA Technology USA office earlier today. One of the S599 SSD I have was defective and need to be replaced. I opted to do the exchange in person.
Just in case you are wondering what those Chinese characters say, it roughly translates:
Only fools cannot read this.
OK, that was a joke. It literally translates as “DATA”. At least that’s what Google Translate says.
Conversation with ADATA Customer Service.
I decided to call ADATA Customer Service regarding the RMA process for the S599 SSD. Since I’m located within driving range to their Hacienda Heights office, I decided to get the deliver the defective product in person. I called the Customer Service and was informed that I could go to their office and get the replacement.
I’d be visiting ADATA USA office this Wednesday.
RMA for an SSD.
One of the ADATA S599 SSD‘s I’ve been using failed earlier this week. First there were performance degradations, then it had trouble accessing files. Soon after the computer would not boot with the SSD attached through the SATA Bus or External FireWire case.
I had contacted ADATA for RMA and will be sending it out this Monday morning.

Bad Capacitors on Motherboard.
I was working on a computer earlier today and found some bad capacitors on the motherboard. Bulging capacitors indicate problems. This motherboard is a goner.
Will add the picture later.
