noreply@blogger.com (Data Babble) — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 18:09:00 +0000

Yes, it's true that all drop side cribs have been banned and outlawed in the U.S.

"It was a unanimous vote by the Consumer Product Safety Commission to ban the manufacture, sale and resale of the cribs, which have a side rail that moves up and down, allowing parents to more easily lift their child from the crib."

EFO Wireless Keyboard Review

noreply@blogger.com (Data Babble) — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 13:59:00 +0000

I was looking for a wireless keyboard/mouse combo for my HTPC setup a while back and came across the EFO wireless keyboard. You can only order this product directly from Hong Kong, which made me a little hesitant to order it, but I did. The keyboard arrived about 10 days after I placed my order and I have to say I'm impressed overall with the device. The range is excellent, the keyboard is responsive and the touchpad works rather well. It's not the most stylish device, but it's very small and lightweight making it easy to store and use. However, there are a few shortcomings with this device:

No tab key - this is quite annoying.

Running windows 7 when the computer wakes up from sleeping - the device repeats the first character typed until you reseat the usb dongle.

Overall, I recommend this device especially at the $45 shipped price point.

Full body scans in airports

noreply@blogger.com (Data Babble) — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 13:46:00 +0000

What do you think about full body scanners that are starting to be implemented in airports across the world? Do you feel like your privacy will be violated? Will you be less likely to fly if you knew the airport had a full body scanner? This really does raise a lot of questions concerning privacy. I can imagine there will be some backlash concerning the use of full body scanners in airports. Thoughts?

Sean Hannity Hillary Clinton Joke

noreply@blogger.com (Data Babble) — Tue, 26 May 2009 20:52:00 +0000

In case you couldn't quite understand the little girl giving the joke on the air today, here's the joke:

Hillary Clinton died and went to heaven ...

As she stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, she saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. She asked, "What are all those clocks?"

St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks.

Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie, the hands on your clock will move."

"Oh," said Hillary, "who's clock is that?"

"That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie."

"Who's clock is that?"

"That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have only moved twice telling us that Abe only told 2 lies in his entire life."

"Where's Bill's clock?" Hillary asked.

"Bill's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

Spanking children in schools

noreply@blogger.com (Data Babble) — Mon, 04 May 2009 15:55:00 +0000

I came across this article today on newsweek discussing how a principle in South Carolina has reinstated the spanking policy in his elementary school:

http://www.newsweek.com/id/195119?Gt1=43002

This is obviously a touchy subject and typically leads to a hot debate. What strikes me about this article and regardless of where you stand on this subject, this guy actually turned the school around for the better. What are your thoughts?

Noticed today that Walmart brand apple juice uses apple juice concentrate from China. Won't be buying that anymore. Here's an interesting read about these Chinese apples:

Great performance by Kris Allen tonight - video. This guy is kind of flying under the radar, but he's solid every week. Unfortunately this guy won't win, but he'll have a record after this and it'll be great. Great performance!

Disgusting Domino's Video

noreply@blogger.com (Data Babble) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 16:49:00 +0000

This is a disgusting Domino's pizza video that shows 2 workers in North Carolina doing horrible things to the food they prepared. Corporate Domino's claims this food was never served to customers, but I doubt they're in a position to determine that. These idiots now face arrest. What a couple of losers.

Transumer - The next big thing?

noreply@blogger.com (Data Babble) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 10:52:00 +0000

Have you heard of the term transumer? Think of it as a consumer who rents versus buys - everything from DVD's, video games, books, cars and even handbags. If you have a Netflix membership, then you are apparently a transumer. I suppose this makes sense in many ways. How often do we buy things, use once, then never again as they end up on the floor in our closet? Being a transumer also helps people stick to a budget and still give into that impulse to buy. For instance, you pay a monthly subscription fee to rent unlimited books online. You can get the book you want (instant gratification), but you won't be down at the local bookstore buying books you'll only read once. Not a bad idea really.

Kris Allen - Falling Slowly
