New gambling guide for online casinos

A new gambling guide has hit the market and although it is new and doesn't seem complete it does look like a promising attractive website. The website is www.grem.net and it has a simple layout and on the home page lists their top 10 online casinos. It is neat although I don't agree with their listings completely it is good enough and better than other sites that promote shady casinos.

So far the sites has some strategies for games like blackjack, video poker, keno and roulette. You can also find blackjack variations listed which comes in many forms like blackjack switch or even pontoon.

The bonus totals on the top right of the website is a cool feature showing you how much bonus money is available for depositing players and for no deposit bonuses. The keno myths page was interesting but wish there was more to read or some other myths on blackjack or roulette.

Ipad sales slow down

The ipad is still a big seller but the sales have slowed down a bit with more gadgets flooding the market including more iphones, the evo 4g and Samsung Galaxy S. On top of the ipad there are other pad devices being produced and that should do farm more tasks than the ipad.

The ipad is just a media device, not really a computer. You can watch movies, chat, send emails, watch videos and do your social media stuff. But you can't edit a video, it's tougher to work on a document or a webpage or anything else that requires some real work. 

So if you want a sexy toy to play with when you hit a cafe you can get an ipad. Just don't try to act intelligent like you're doing important work, website design or writing a book because we know you're there just showing up that you spent money on a toy to waste time with.

That doesn't mean I don't want an ipad.

Futureshop service

My futureshop service experience at the 460 St. Catherine Ouest, Montreal was a terrible one with the worst sales reps you will ever find. One day I went there asking for a computer which I was told to wait while they get one. That guy couldn't be found for 20 minutes so I left the store.

I returned a week later to get another model. I said if I spent $600 I'd like a free USB key which I was rudely told no, so I said ok no computer. I was then offered discounted warranty service but that doesn't help. Instead I bought the computer but didn't go with any sales rep as I didn't want them to get commission and they did admit they get commission. The guy said a $10 USB would give him negative commission so I guess he makes less than $10 on $600 in sales... right.

Well if you look at the main floor you will find sales reps that stand around. They will not talk to you unless you have a product in your hand. If you walk to the cashier with a product they will try to grab it from you to 'fast assist' you to the cashier. I had one rep do this who tried to take the credit card out of my wallet and kept asking me how I will pay. The sales lady was handling my transaction and this guy was useless and really bothered me. I told her that nobody in the store helped me where it seems she removed the creepy stalker sales guy from the commission of that sale. 

I appreciate help but I don't appreciate being treated like this. This is certainly the last time I buy anything from Futureshop and I'd recommend any other store. If you want computers try tigerdirect.ca or canadacomputers.com. If you want futureshop service then expect to be highly disappointed.

GSP versus Koscheck UFC 124

Georges St-Pierre defends his title against contender Josh Koshcheck. GSP has easily beat all challengers to the title and it is expected he'll do the same to Koshcheck again. Koshcheck is just talking trash and that's probably the best part of his game which is a sad statement.

GSP has the ground and pound game down to a perfection. Only a BJJ guy could beat him. Koshcheck looked silly in his fake on Daley when he pretended he was kneed in the head while he was on the ground. Replays show the knee never made contact and that probably changed the fight on the spot.

UFC 124 should be an entertaining one but it's time for Josh Koscheck to stop talking trash and take his beating from GSP the true champion.

Tiger Woods playing good

Yes Tiger woods is playing good and were not talking about women, were talking golf. We know he was a good player at both women and golf but his golf game has been terrible since he split up from his wife Elin. 

Now that his divorce is official his golf game has gone back to normal. Were used to Tiger being competitive and him not winning just makes golf a boring sport to watch. Without Tiger Woods golf would be less than half the sport it is right now. You take away Tiger Woods and the game still becomes fun to play but it would have lost most of it's fans around the world. Tiger truly has transformed the game of golf and made it a game played and loved around the world. 

Go get em Tiger, on winning the tournaments, not on getting more girls. Well he is going to do that anyways.

Forums are a waste of time

Are you addicted to forums? Do you spend too much time talking about other people on forums? If you do then you may be a loser. With your time that you have you can spend it anyway you want. Some people choose to do it on forums instead of doing something productive. 

If you're chatting on a business forum then you could of course be doing some work. Just look at the top performers in any industry. You won't see them chatting away on a forum or facebook. They will actually be working and whenever they go on any forum they just shake their heads at the people who stick around to post. 

Of course being on a forum is good only if you're the owner of the forum and you benefit from it.

Otherwise it's better to spend your time doing work or living your life, not spending it on a forum talking about someone else's life.
