Why I dumped AT&T, sold my iPhone 4 and got Droid X with Verizon
Service is key when you decide if you will keep certain vendor. Absence of service, or it being spotty (here of course we talk about cellphone service) is frustrating. Furthermore frustration grows when you are in the middle of important phone call and your phone suddenly goes "ding-ding" and shows "Call Failed" message. This is not something you can tolerate when paying $200 for two lines of service.
Why you don’t need to have a website today unless you are a corporation
When I see people looking to create their website I start to smile. Little do they know that after spending time designing and re-designing it, populating and re-writing content they will end up spending ten times more time promoting in order to get traffic. Waste of time and energy vs. having yourself listed on "social web" in minutes and creating an army of followers - is what they all miss.
If all you care of is business and connections, why create something and try to spin it out when it is already out there for you? With ton of traffic flowing and tools helping you grow.

Ichi Umi – awesome sushi buffet in Midtown New York City
When I used to live in Brooklyn finding good sushi place was not a problem. Because majority of Russian immigrant population of Southern Brooklyn are fans of quality fresh fish over rice, I had plenty of places to choose from.
When I moved to the city a question of finding such place was left to Google and Yelp. But I was still secretly hoping that for the same amount of money I used to pay for fish in Brooklyn I will get the same amount in the same quality. Less of all I hoped for an ultimate treat such as sushi buffet, until friend of a friend told me about Ichi Umi in the eastern part of Korea Town.
Hulu Plus for PS3 and Samsung TV – a sad review
After Hulu had announced their Hulu Plus Service everyone immediately ran for their invitation, eve though the service itself is not free like you'd expect it to be (well at least for the first 30 days?) Just like everyone else i was excited to receive an invitation to my inbox about a week after:
I had many plans as to where and how to use Hulu:
- enjoy it on my iPhone 4
- watch it on my Samsung UN55B8000 LED TV i just bought for $2400
- install an app onto my PS3
It worked fine on my iPhone 4 with a decent quality over lame AT&Ts 3G network, but when i tried to make my TV work with it i was unpleasantly surprised.
