Steve "Big Brother" Jobs is Watching You

Anybody remember the 1984 Macintosh ad:



It's highly ironic that a hidden file recording all movements of iPhone users has just been discovered.

No information yet what Apple is doing with that file but it apparently records location from GPS, Wifi Access Points and GSM Cells several hundred times a day and keep those records in a hidden file on the device forever.

Here's a discussion from the people who discovered this:



I think this is quite amazing.

Really Tasty

Lately this ad has been popping up online:


Colored burgers???  That look _really_ tasty :)

Who would have thought...

Who would have thought it was possible to use the word "naughty" and the word "Volvo" in the same sentence?


Don't get me wrong - I like Volvo and have always liked their cars but "naughty" they are not.

Naughty is something along this line:


And _that_ is most certainly not a Volvo.

Dangerous Food Storage

I was just about to buy some Salmon from Giant (in Sungai Wang), when I noticed that it felt kind of - well - let me just say "not cold".  That made me check the temperature of the cooler:

 
In fact it was 9 degrees when I first saw it, but even 8 is at least 6 degrees too warm.  What makes this even more worrying is that this picture was taken a few hours ago - on Apr. 10.  As is obvious from the above image, no staff have actually bothered to check the temperature since the 6th.  I would say if that salmon have been stored at a temperature 6 degrees too high for 4 days, it would be downright dangerous to eat it.

So - big fat warning - if you actually buy food in Giant, make sure to check the temperature before you buy.

I have provided a link to this post to Giant through their web-site.  If they bother to make any explanations I will post it here as an update.
