Yahoo Mail upgrade

I had been a long time supporter of Yahoo Mail.
But admit it, they've been sitting on their laurels for too long and lost their standing.
Where Google Mail had multiple selection, I had to select my spam mails in Yahoo Mail, one by one.
Where Google Mail allows you to drag and define your calendar appointments, I had to fiddle with the start and end time in Yahoo Mail.

Now, they have a massive upgrade, with link up to Facebook and Google+.
Question is, is it too little, too late?

Queue cutters

I was stuck by the road for 20 minutes, cabs all showing red lights.  Two ladies turned up and parked themselves 15m ahead of me, chatting and paying me scant attention to my killer stare.

Muttering under my breath, I walked past them by 3m and showed them my back, twirling my umbrella in play.

I was kinda hoping that they would challenge me, so I was kinda disappointed.

My Nook OS got upgraded to 1.7.

Naturally curious, I went to BN website for their faq...

"What's new in V1.7?"

I clicked..

"NOOK ver1.7 includes a minor system update."

Wow... thanks...

If you keep throwing punches...

make sure you're prepared to get one back

Dream: Porting

Dreams as they go don't make sense. I just thought that it's amusing to log them and read at a future date. Readers might want to skip this entry.

[dream: act 1]
In a kind of "place" where we're studying for "something". Present were my sec school classmates, uni classmates and ex colleagues and some current colleagues. After studying, we'll go back to our dorms via a series of branching doors.
[/dream: act 1]

[dream: act 3]
Vincent was angry that I got classmate X's help and scored 1st in mathematics. Told him that I had a history of roller coaster grades in mathematics. "It could have been anyone, like Yuna. I just needed help because I wasn't paying attention in class". Vincent was satisfied.
[/dream: act 3]

[dream: act 4]
Travel can be made via "porting", someone has to accept your transfer at a booth and once payment is made, you instantly appear at the booth. Payment is made via pre-paid cards. These cards card used for MMO subscriptions, porting and telephone phones. Just ported my baby over to the amusement park and told that I could now upgrade my card after having used $1000 in total. The upgraded card now offers porting at 1000kbps. We accepted.
Checked the card and found that we only have a few cents left. Guess no MMO for baby for a while...
[/dream: act 4]

[dream: act 5]
Walking back by the series of branching doors. Realised baby not with me so let the others go ahead. Found her 2 doors back. She grumbled at not checking for her and I put my arm around her shoulder, "Baby.."
[/dream: act 5]

[dream: act 6]
In american-style alley, with Demonic-dog howls...
[/dream: act 6]

Woke by alarm (demonic-dog howls). To wake baby and go for breakfast now.

May I have some identification?

Guess I've reach the age where I look suspicious moving alone at night.
Instead of a knife or some undesirables, they found... a book.

Barnes & Noble Welcome Coupon - reply

At least there's a personal reply. However, can't help feeling disappointed that the welcome is not sincere. Still, they could have not offered me anything and I wouldn't be upset.
Lesson: Never offer, if you can't follow through later.

 Wow thanks, but I feel tired. Another day...

I'm hurt. Don't you know me as a customer?

Your reply would make or break our future relationship...

Silent Taxi Drivers

When it's late at night, my transportation would be cabs.
Getting on, I said, "Hello, going to +(destination)"
The driver would start driving without acknowledgement.

"Turn left here".
The cab turns.
"Turn right here"
The cab turns.
"Stop here"
The cab stops.
"How much?"
He displays the total with the meter.
"Okay..."

It is somewhat uncomfortable.  I can dispense with smiles and "Yes, Sir".  Silence makes me feel like I'm driving the car with my own voice.  Is he blaming me for keeping me away from his bed?  Does he resent the need to serve?  Am I missing something?
