the digital age robber

did anybody catch this article in TOI? freaky! apparently, robbers are now tracking you on twitter to find out when you go on a vacation or weekend away, so they can come take your stuff away! this happens because we allow strangers all too easily to track us on social networking websites, especially twitter. the survey sent out a 100 test friend requests on facebook and twitter, and 13% were accepted on facebook and 93% on twitter! and it's especially the younger users who give away such information, such as children or teenagers in your household. my god, it really gives you to think before you tweet away about your dream vacation!

dell sucks

it's been barely three months, and already the right click key on the touchpad doesn't press down properly. and according to dell, that's not a manufacturing defect but rather wear and tear, which is not covered by warranty. so according to dell, their computers are only built to last three months or less, after which if anything goes wrong, it must be you! this sucks! now to get it fixed i either have to pay Rs.8500 for a full warranty or Rs.1500+spare parts charge for a technician visit. all for a spring that probably costs ten rupees! and all this after spending rs.45000 just three months ago to get this laptop in the first place! :( dissatisfaction factor has never been higher!
