Ayo....

So a few months back while checking my gmail ... I finally started paying attention to the lil ticker bar on the top in your inbox that provides links based off of what you want to see and the context in your email... 

A long time back people were scared that someone or some software can scan your private emails and then use them best against you... that seems to be a note of the past now....

Back to the main topic, the lil ticker bar, I know google has a word for it, aha .. Web Clip. This thing provides some light entertainment to your mail. I like to see what the word of the day is or like to see what wired.com or engadget.com write... (those sites were/are my favorite since the iphone 3g days). 

But today my topic aint about the Webclip bar solely. Its about what I feel is happening around me.... First the hype about the Iphone 3g... its a pretty cool gadget I must say.. :D... ok but the real point is.. I am writing this blog using a chrome browser and its a pain to use the chrome browser for blogger.com. Can you believe it? Googles browser does not work fine for its own products.... The font selector never works, you gotta highlight the text and then change the font.... no thats not the point of this post as well...

Its about what is happening around us.. I know I said this before as well... Heres whats happening... theres hype about google chrome, we jump right in, theres hype about Apple and their iphones and we jump right in ... we as a consumer buy in to anything and everything thats out there to get us... does it improve our life? well to some extent yes... but was it needed??? and to that question you may have various answers....

When me n S go out shopping Im the one that usually caves in easily .. Im the one that is the ideal retailers dream customer.. the credit card company's dream cow.. but I have my own self protecting device... i ask myself the question do I absolutely need the stuff right away? if the answer... is no .. which it mostly is .. then i put it on my list of things to buy the next time I visit the store .. and you know what? next time around .. I dont even feel the urge to buy that stuff.. If i do .. then I would buy it .. but not otherwise.... 

Thats my rambling for the day .. my next serious question is .. is continuing this post further on really worth giving up on my sleep?
