So Did The Chinese Kid Really Sell His Kidney for an iPhone and an iPad?

June 24, 2011 By Leave a Comment

You might have heard on the news recently, a 17 year old boy, from some obscure province in China, went to a larger province on his own, after meeting a body-part donor broker online. Now I checked several separate coverage’s of this story, and not once did I see the iPhone or the iPad. I saw a scar on his body, which was obviously very real, and it did look like he had his kidney removed. Mind you, I am a layman, and I should be asking a surgeon about this. I thought if a kidney was removed, the scar would be on his back, not his front. This kind of story could only come out of China. I am wondering if he will have to sell his left testicle if he needs computer repairs. Here is another take on the story, from someone who has spent a lot of time inside the invisible communist dictated, paranoid-centric society in the last 15 years.

  • Attack on Apple? Apple business continues to explode in China. They are making big money. Apple has been around in China as long as it has been around everywhere else. Apple has never had to worry about much to copyright, in the past it was basically only their operating system, and it was free. It was only a few weeks ago that a group of Chinese factory workers exposed, they were all dying from cleaning iPhones in the production process. Apparently, they were using a chemical to clean the screens that is highly toxic. Last year’s big news was the 20 or so suicides from the Taiwanese company’s staff who were also working on iPhone products. It seems like iPhone and Apple is responsible for something going horribly wrong in China every couple of months, since they opened their stores in Beijing and Shanghai. Apple is definitely NOT owned by any Chinese company, or government agency posing as an entity, and blackmailing business to partner with it or be shut down.
  • Hospital Had No Authority to Remove Body Parts. That was where the story in the hospital stopped. The hospital said it did not have authority to remove or trade in body parts. I don’t really see that as having anything to do with the fact that the boy was supposed to have had his illegal body part harvest done in the hospital. A little more reporting on the details might give the story a little more credit.

  • Police Can’t Find Broker. After the boy tells his mother that he went away for the last few days to sell his kidney so he could get the iPhone and iPad, she called the police. In a country that has the most stringent internet access policy in the world (you cannot get online in your home, or in public, without your official ID), and has a massive army of people who just surf the internet monitoring everything that goes on, they had no idea who the broker was. This is the same country that has highly developed facial recognition software, that has been fully operational for many years, and has a camera on just about every street, street corner, and another camera for added measure, in every city in the country. This is the country that had one million people working as under-cover ‘social monitors’ during the Olympics. And they still could not find the broker?

So yes, this is another trumped up story from China. Is this just another reason to complain about Apple, and just another reason to change to a local brand, and get the best local computer support? Now do you believe it

How to Select the Right Accessories for Your Car

May 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Accessories can make or break your driving experience. There are a number of accessories that many of us have come to love. There are a number of issues you should consider when buying accessories for your car. Please understand, in this article, we are talking about accessories, such as a mobile phone kit, a reversing camera, or other such add-on. We are not talking about body or other engine modifications. Modifications are another issue all together.

car accesories thumb How to Select the Right Accessories for Your Car

  • Brand. There are so many new brands on the market today it can be easy to think the brand does not matter. That is certainly not the case. Companies that were always good at making mobile phones are good at making mobile phones, for example. A new company is probably not as good. That is just the way it is. They have the technology and no-how. There are companies that are good at making accessories, and they will normally make the best of all accessories for your car. It is important you learn a little about these brands and the manufacturers before buying any car accessory.
  • Warranty. Where you buy your accessory is important. If there is something wrong, taking it straight back the place of purchase, is always the best option. A manufacturer’s warranty might look good, but the act of getting your device repaired or replaced, may mean a considerable time without it. Look for retail outlets that will fix or replace any troublesome item.
  • Installation. With modern cars, it is getting more complicated to install many devices ourselves. Getting that smooth and finished professional look, will only come when the professionals install your device. There may be other requirements in relation to your car insurance.
  • Insurance. It is important to talk to your car insurer before buying any accessory. There are a number of reasons for doing this. Firstly, you may need to increase the cover of your premium to include the device. Secondly, installation of the device in your car may void your insurance if your provider has not been advised. Thirdly, the device may require professional installation for your insurance to cover it. In the final and worst-case situation, which you will only find out when you go to claim, the installation of a small device had actually voided your insurance.
  • Cost. A cost of an item, or the value of the item, may greatly influence the cost of your insurance. Car insurance in relation to accessories, the cost is normally calculated on the value of the item and the likelihood of it being stolen. Some items are a real target for thieves. Remember, car insurance companies get their costs based on the calculations of a lot of data from the past. They know exactly which accessories have brought trouble to their owners. Keeping this in mind, know the cost of your accessory includes the cost of installation, and the cost that may be placed on your premium.

When you buy accessories, you need to buy a trusted name, bought from a trusted retailer, and always confirm with your insurance company first. Some accessories such as a reversing sensor, may actually reduce the cost of your car insurance, or at least be highly recommended by them.

Sony Ericsson MBS 200 (review)

May 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I love music, and like most people I tend to listen to it. Music is a huge deal in my life and my daily routine usually involves showering with my music blaring from my phone, but as with most phones the speaker is a little tinny and not very clear, Our buddies over at mobile fun have the product for me (and hopefully for you) the Sony Ericsson MBS 200.

 

The MBS 200 is a wonderful little speaker, aesthetically pleasing with looks straight from a futuristic haven filled with happy little singing robots (no?) and the sound quality is far superior to most, if not all, bluetooth enabled speakers. Connectivity is not a problem, I was listening to my Kanye West and Roy Orbison songs before I knew it, as loud as possible and with no reduction of sound quality. One of the greatest features of this seemingly simplistic speaker is the fact you can connect it to another MBS 200 to create the MBS 400 Both speakers working together to deliver love to your ears.

 

overall this is a great little speaker, with huge amounts of oomph behind it but what makes it so much more interesting is that instead of its usual £50 price tag you can grab one now over at Mobile fun for a lovely £15 pounds. I give the Sony Ericsson MBS 200 10 out of 10 stars and am now off to buy another one.

iPhone 5

March 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Since the release of the first iPhone in 2007, the remarkable handset from American computing and technology firm Apple has gone from strength to strength, culminating in the release of last year’s record breaking iPhone 4.

Now all we have to do though is sit here and wait for the next instalment of the smart phone to come out but many people out there aren’t satisfied with just being patient and waiting, they want to know exactly what the iPhone 5 will be like and they want to know NOW!

This has led to many rumours being spread all over the internet and in magazines. Here are some of the most common rumours on the iPhone 5 so we know what to expect when any announcement is made.

Firstly, we are told to expect a release date announcement this summer at the very latest. Apple has released a new model of the iPhone every summer for the last four years now and this consistency has meant that they have backed themselves into a bit of a corner for future releases. Most people are saying June or July for an announcement but as we have seen the new iPad announced already, many feel that it could be even earlier than that.
The iPhone 4 saw a total remodel of the phone that was successful the previous year, the 3GS. The 3GS was just a reworking of the iPhone 3 though and there is much discussion as to whether the new iPhone will be a total remodel or just a tweaking of the formula that was successful on the iPhone 4. Thought is really split on this subject and we will have to wait and see.
Finally, there have also been rumours of a smaller version of the iPhone, the iPhone nano perhaps? Apple are supposedly trying to fight off competition from cheaper android devices and a mid range version of the iPhone would be just the thing to do that.
