Today is a very good day to pick up an awesome deal with Amazon.com in the area of the Playstation 3 160 GB family bundle. It has a dual controller and comes with a copy of SingStar Dance. Handles 8 online and 4 locally. Just thought I would give a lttle heads up on what is available through Black Friday. Well, as they say in Hollywood,"That's a wrap."

F

The next time you visit your local friendly neighborhood Burger King you and I may want to make a careful check of the writing on the receipt next time because it is just possible you may end up the brunt of a joke that is in poor taste. Is'nt it true, we all might have dreamed of doing something like this, however, we wake up and go about our daily duties in a normal fashion?

This profanity laced receipt lead to a firing at a NorCal Burger King. Sacramento Resident Francisco Perez told KCRA-TV that after ordering food from the Sacramento restaurant, he noticed his receipt read, "F---You", in the area that would normally say, "Thank You", the four letter profanity was spelled out not once, but twice. One day after the story aired a Burger King Manager and an employee was fired and that was according to a satement by Burger King.

"Burger King Corp, (BKC) and the franchise that owns and operates this restaurant deeply regret that this incident occurred." The franchise has taken immediate corrective action and both the manager and the employee are being terminated, the franchise will be reaching out to the guest directly," wrote Burger King's Denise T. Wilson.

I wonder how much would Francisco Perez get should he decided to sue BK? Imagine the claim, death by burger with insult to injury producing eternal damage. Heck with all the nutritutional damage fast food restaurants cause, he would have proof positive that the industry meant him harm, isn't that right? Wouldn't it want to make any attorney take the case?

Well, I am going to run out to Wendy's restaurant make an order and check the receipt, just in case, I could at least explore the possibilities. So, as they always say in Hollywood, "That's a wrap."

Samsung cell phone (Samsung Android Smartphone)


This is one smartphone that is a must have and comes complete with all the features: Android 2.1 that is upgradable to 2.2, 4" display screen for movies, games and websites come to life on an anti-reflective screen, touch screen that is impressive, wi-fi connectivity, 5.0 megapixel camera and weighs 4.5 ounces.

This smartphone integrates email, social networking into one address book and combines google calendar and social networking calendars. This is just another example of the kind of tough competition there is out there in the communications industry. There are so many choices.

I can hardly wait to see how far it all takes us. Well, as they say in Hollywood, "That's a wrap."

Submersible Motorola Barrage V860 for Verizon

There is another cell phone choice that may appeal to the outdoors type and it is the submersible barrage V860. It is rugged and water-proof and you don't have to baby it. For those thinking of going to the mountains and throwing this cell phone in the lake to see if it still works like a timex watch commercial I would advise against it unless you have scuba gear and underwater photo light to search for it and find it and can afford another cell phone right away should you happen to not find it. I also do not recommend you throw it of the mountain to see if it will bust up on the way down, unless you have your mountain climbing gear and some kind of gps to monitor and locate where it landed.

With all that said  should you need a cell phone for occasional use and to have in your car for emergencies a prepaid cell phone will do nicely. All come with plans. If you should need email and web access like the rest of us then its the smart phone type. This also come with plans to fit any persons calling usage.

A little note since December 2005 the FCC rule require that all cell phones must be able to track your location. I know big brother is watching again. GPS enabled cell phones can transmit the latitude and longitude of your location. Even though call centers may not be able to receive your signal because they lack the equipment necessary to make that happen it is still nice to know that someone could possibly notice that we are missing when we get that urge to blaze a trail where no one has gone before and get lost in the dark in the middle of God knows where and nobody else does with a lot of natures creatures roaming about looking for food, it may be possible to get rescued.

Well, so much for that as they always say in Hollywood, "that's a wrap."
