Product Testing!

Have all of you notice lately that companies are making home video’s of their products and posting them on YouTube? These home video’s at times are pretty funny. Now I know that companies have being doing these home video’s and posting them on YouTube for a while now. But just over the last few months these product reviews and product testing have really taken off on YouTube. After all the cost to run these video’s of their products is zero, so why not use YouTube. YouTube has millions of users, and if you produce a funny video review of your product it will be seen by millions. Now I know if I come across a funny video I will vote on it, and maybe tell a few people about it. I’ve seen a lot of these videos, I’ve even seen videos for a custom tote bags , I’M not kidding. If there was no YouTube we might never see some of these video’s about tote bag’s. And if any of you come across any funny videos on YouTube make sure you vote on it, it will push it to the top for everyone to see.

Stabilization!

It looks like the economy is finally showing signs of improvement. One of the signs is that jobs are starting to come back. We’re starting to see employers doing more employee screening, which is a huge sign. And the stock market is starting to signs of improvement. The markets are no longer going up and down by huge amounts, it’s stabilizing. With stabilization right around the corner we’ll be out of this recession completely. And one that happens we all can get our lives back on track. And once that happens we all can sleep a little better, I know I will.

Running Into Problems!

Did you know that your credit card transaction can be hacked by hackers? I read that after all your products have been scanned by the barcode scanner and you decide to pay with credit you put yourself at high risk of being hacked. That’s because when your credit card is swiped the chances are really high that your information can be stolen. And the reason is, banks and stores that you’re dealing with aren’t looking out for you. Once your credit information has been taken by the hackers it will take a very long time to fix it, and at your cost. Banks are trying to fight this problem, but they’re really focusing on making money in this economy. So before you use your credit card again, think about it before you hand it over at check out. My suggestion would be to only use your credit card at well known stores, box stores. They protect your info a little better than the Ma & Pa shops. But don’t get fooled, they too could be just as bad as smaller stores.

Not So Funny Stuff!

I read about a story where Sydney’s largest tourist pubs severed a nasty desert to a family. The family is accusing the pub for serving human fecal matter in their gelato because they complained about noise during a sporting event. They where trying to watch the match but couldn’t hear it because the music was to load. Anyway the pub patron and his wife became violently ill after eating their dessert. If they did this there pub should be shout down forever. During the investigation the State government food minister did confirmed that frozen fecal matter was found in a serving of chocolate gelato offered to them. But on the other hand, the pub had sent samples of the desert out to be tested on their own and found no fecal matter. I would like to know where they got the fecal matter. I did read that the chef and restaurant manager did volunteer to give up their DNA to prove their innocence. There’s more to this story but I’m heading to my Kohler kitchen sink , I’m getting sick thinking about it.
