Quiznos placement sucks

Quiznos tear placement. This is the worse product. Think about it, how is someone going to tear the mat open and hold the sandwich at the same time. It is physically impossible.

Bank of America QuickDeposit via Android camera

-Update 9/2012 -

 The scan app for Bank of America is now there for iPhone, iPad, and Android! The limit is now set to $3000 and $15000 for business accounts.

 -Update 9/2012 -

Already Chase has created a application for the iPhone where you can use the smart phone camera to take a picture of the check you want to deposit. There is a $1000 limit on the check which makes it somewhat useless for paychecks.

Hopefully, Bank of America will follow suite and since they are proficient in the Android operating system we are hoping they will release it for Android first. This would be great on my HTC Evo 4G, I am sure they will convert a lot of users over. Increase the max deposit and wow Bank of America will be ahead of Chase and have a check deposit application.
I have emailed Bank of America with this suggestion and everyone else should as well. If enough people ask them for the application they will do it. The BOA IT department seems pretty good.

Sprint 4G is really fast in Los Angeles, CA

This is on the EVO 4G, it is beating the iPhone 4 by a lot. This is actually faster then our DSL network at the office. This is using the FCC speed testing program from the Android market. You can download it on iPhone as well.

How to Put Roku Box in Development Mode

Here is the instruction to put the Roku Box in developer mode.

Before you are able to load a development application to your box, you must enable development mode on your Roku DVP. When you enter the special remote control sequence:

Home 3x, Up 2x, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right

After that you can install Roku Media server and stream videos off your computer by following the instructions at http://github.com/netguy204/roku_media_server/blob/master/README.textile

This is a good workaround for YouTube. All you do is encode and YouTube file you want to MP4 and you can stream it from the Roku.

ThinkOrSwim Application for Android

Diehard ThinkOrSwim fans will be unhappy to know that there is still no ThinkOrSwim application for the Android.

After emailing support they indicated sometime around March with no exact planned release date. I have seen no indication of anything coming out.

I am encouraging all Android users who want ThinkOrSwim to send them a email asking about it. It is really difficult to not have this trading ability for me.

I guess they want us to use the iPhone just like every other monkey.

Citcards fake offers

I just recently got a letter from CitiCards that I could transfer any balance over until 3/2011 for 1.99%. There was no indication of any expiration date on this letter. I read the letter carefully as I always do with all contracts.

When I called Citicards they said that the offer expired. Of course, they don't give care at all because its whatever the computer says.

I even faxed them the letter and they never even got back to me.

I don't understand these kinds of scams they try to run like this.

Samsung Moment: Android goes against iPhone

I had a iPhone for about 3 weeks. The issue I had was there was no reception in my apartment for AT&T. I also soon realized that the Internet was slow with AT&T and that I wouldn't be able to browse the Internet so easily. Another problem was that I had to jailbreak the iPhone and this caused issues when I tried to update. It was a big hassle.

I ended up cancelling and going back to Sprint. Not wanting to keep my old Palm PDA phone I upgraded to the Samsung Moment.

I will have to say that about 95% of the useful apps from my iPhone are available on my new Samsung Moment.

I am also able to receive voice mails just like the iPhone and play them right on the phone.

The Samsung Moment works just as well. The only thing is that since I can run multiple applications, the Android operating system will slow down at times. I guess this is why Apple has blocked multiple applications from running on the iPhone.

Another plus is that there is a keyboard so I can type away as much as I want. I have to admit the keyboard is not as easy to use as the Palm that I had before but faster then typing on the iPhone.

Hopefully, Sprint will release the 2.1 OS update for the Samsung Moment as there are several missing items because of this.

The only problem is that there are about 10% of apps that are still not availible on the Android. I am sure this will continue to change and Google gets more market share.

Too bad Microsoft's platform was not able to take off. They haven't released a new version for a long time and they don't have a good app store.

I also saw the Palm Pre at the store but it was so small I didn't even want to bother with that.

Avatar Movie Symbolism and Interpretation Study

Based on the movie we see there are many references that can be interpreted:

1. The struggle between reality vs virtual machine world.

Example: Should I go outside and play tennis when I can play the virtual tennis game in my living room. Both are fun.

2. Human greed for money.

Example: In many countries workers are exploited to dig up diamonds or gold which are just wants and not needs.

3. How love and happiness is important in life. People are willing to give up anything. For example the main character was willing to forget about getting his legs back to be happy.

Example: If one falls in love in a chat room, it could be so fun that they are willing to just chat on there for the rest of their life. Sometimes, not meeting the person for years.

4. How humans are all connected together. Represented by the tree of life.

Example: If you meet someone in the street chances are that one of your Facebook friends will have them on their friends list and know them.

Los Angeles drivers and rain

It has been raining much in Los Angeles, California the past days. Everyone in LA will agree that LA drivers have no idea how to drive in this weather. People still tailgate, some drive too fast, while some will drive at excessively low speeds. Cant they just find a happy median and drive normally. Luckily today was MLK holiday so the traffic amount has been less.
