If you’re bored with the same old clock why not buy a little robot clock + paper holder? this little robot clock displays the time and also hold important notes. look at the pic.

Cute isn’t? I love the way this little robot clock looks, if you are interested in buying one go to Brando website, the price for this robot is $20.50. And don’t worry because I will not get a penny of this sale, I just like the robot and maybe you do too.

Is T-Mobile buying Sprint?

joelriv8 — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:35:36 +0000

Whoa! This would be great but is this for real? Well these are the rumors flying around, according to TmoNews T-Mobile parent company Deutsche Telekom is planning to offer some big money to Sprint let see what happens in the next couple of days. There is no official news whether this is really going to happen or not, I suggest you to come visit us more often to see if this rumor comes official in a near feature.

This is what TmoNew wrote:

This rumor seems to pop up every time the wind blows in a certain direction. T-mobile wants to acquire Sprint, Sprint wants to acquire T-mobile, Sprint and T-mobile dance the Samba etc etc. Deutsche Telekom (T-mobile USA parent company) has a market value six times that of Sprint and while Sprint seems to be on a roll these days with a bounty of surprisingly affordable yet all encompassing plans combined with a super star winter lineup they hemorrhage customers at every turn. Any tech blogger or tech fan in general immediately jumps at the notion to point the incompatibility of the two company’s networks, CDMA and GSM. Considering Sprint doesn’t exactly have a strong record of accomplishment merging companies with incompatible networks we can at least be thankful T-mobile is leading this dance. That being said, there are still an unfathomable amount of questions as to how this would work, what would this do to the wireless landscape with only three major players. Telegraph UK, the newspaper responsible for this round of rumors reports that the Deutsche Telekom has called in Deutsche Bank in preparation for an offer for Sprint. This could get very interesting, very quickly and while the prospect of jumping right onto AT&T’s back with a customer base that rivals their own makes my heart fill with joy, that doesn’t mean it’s the smart play. If I were the boys at the FCC I’d want to see the best damn play by play integration schematic ever created by man on how exactly this merger would work.

If you’re a T-Mobile customers and got exited because of this rumor don’t forget that this is only a rumor!

Good News: Google Voice users can call again free to Canada

joelriv8 — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 03:38:22 +0000

If you are a Google Voice user let me inform you that Google has posted an important message on Google Voice Blog telling that calling to Canada is allowed now for free. Read below…

In addition to making free long distance calls within the continental US, you can now call Canada for free through Google Voice. We offered this feature in GrandCentral previously, and in an effort to provide as many useful features as we can for free, we’re happy to bring those free calls to Canada to Google Voice users as well.

You can initiate calls from your inbox online, from our new mobile apps, or by dialing your own Google Voice number from one of your phones and selecting option 2 to place a call.

Please note that Google Voice is only available in the US, and you’ll need a working US phone to setup a Google Voice account.

Well if you were waiting for this congratulations, but another problem Google hasn’t resolved yet is letting users forward calls to international numbers. Actually if you try to register Google Voice from Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and all US territories you will receive an error telling you that you can’t register from an international location.

When Google will fix this huh?
