SOLENOID INDUSTRY JOB OPPORTUNITY - Spam/scam

September 8, 2007 · Filed Under Blogging · Comment 

I almost love some scam emails.  If they weren’t such a pest, they would make me laugh.  The title of this post refers to one such amusing, almost, piece of spam I recently received.  I mean, ‘Solenoid Industry’?!  It almost shows imagination.

I guess that by referring to a specific sector they think they may catch more people out (and they may well do, sadly), in what I believe is a money laundering type scheme.  If you are only mildly switched on, when you get one of these here ‘invitations’,  you will spot two key give-aways: 1) It is to undisclosed recipients 2) The return email address is a Yahoo account.

Oh, and if anyone is interested, I can get you a top job at Ferrari - just email me at jobatferrari@yahoo.com, er, not.

First impressions of Windows Vista

September 8, 2007 · Filed Under Technology and Gadgets · Comment 

Yes, I know I’m a bit slow, but I am just not interested in Vista. I just happened to be at my other half’s place of work today, so I took a look at her new Vista powered PC. Only a few clicks, I have to admit.

First impressions? It’s like a souped up version of XP. Nothing more nothing less.

Occasionly I get to use an Apple, and it is much more impressive and it feels like a new operating system.

Unless MS comes up with something really original and ground-breaking, I suspect my next computer will be an Apple.

One day soon I expect Dell and the other big boys to start selling Macs as well as PCs. Unless, that is, MS gives us something really new and different.
