Made with Love

Sympatico flyers (boxing day sales)

Not to get too far off the topic at hand...but it really isn't that far off...touch screen technology has been around for 20 yrs or more and we're already pretty close to a lot of that shown in the video with tablets connected to our tvs connected to our home monitoring connected to our smartphones....the only thing they've really done in many cases is remove the wires and make it touch transferrable......

wait til you see part 2.......
 
Great commercials from Corning Glass. Made two years ago, and the future just keeps getting closer.

(One thing they left out is how many effin' commercials we'll be inundated with. Thanks to this thread, I've got Walmart promos popping up now when I click on YouTube videos.)
 
FedEx delivers iPad mini, Later on that day UPS delivery man steals it off front porch

FedEx delivers iPad mini, Later on that day UPS delivery man steals it off front porch

Here is a good reason why you should always have someone sign for packages that are delivered to your address.

“A surveillance video caught a UPS driver stealing a package from a northwest Harris County front porch shortly after it was delivered by Fed Ex,” Click2Houston reports. “Al Alverson’s home security camera system recorded the incident on Wednesday. Alverson said the video shows the Fed Ex deliveryman leave a new iPad mini on his doorstop — a Christmas present for Alverson’s daughter.”

“Later that same day, a UPS deliveryman showed up at Alverson’s house with a package. He got no answer when he rang the doorbell so he left the package and walked away. But the security video showed the UPS driver did not leave. A couple of minutes later, he came back, picked up the iPad and walked off… UPS tracked down the driver. They said he was a seasonal employee who has been fired.”
 
How did people find the sales? I wasn't very impressed. I ordered a few things online on Xmas eve (the bestbuy site sucked. It was super slow and I discovered after 2 hours waiting at the checkout queue that you can't use an iPad because it doesn't refresh your status. I slept in today and decided to wander down to yorkville. It was strangely quiet, except for the mad fight in the first level of Holt Renfrew where hundreds of gay (judging by their impeccable dress and charming lisps) fought over casual clothes. No one seemed interested in the ties (fortunately for me). Instead of an extra 10% off on Boxing Day at Holt's, it was 20% the latest price.
