My desk is still groaning with Vegas product crap.
Gold, Apple and Verizon look good.
Tips on visiting Las Vegas. I like Vegas. It’s fun. The hotels have gyms. There’s lots to see. Kids love the place. There’s even respectable shopping, e.g.
You can buy some truly awful things also. These black suede charmers had protruding metal studs :
Vegas tips:
Las Vegas restaurants. The big hotels sprout designer chefs and pricey menus. We liked Komol, a family-run Thai restaurant in a strip mall. 953 E Sahara Ave. Ste E-10. Phone 702-731-6542.
Las Vegas Hotels. Some are awful. Some are great. There’s no relationship between price and quality. Most pricey hotels will bargain. They also have widely varying prices. Everyone bargains.
Las Vegas Shows. Buy your tickets from the show/hotel directly. Do not buy from a broker or a ticket agent on the Internet. They’ll charge you fees, fees and more fees. Cirque de Soleil shows are fun, though pricey.
My CES favorite product revisited. This is Wrapsol on a iPhone.
I asked Wrapsol yesterday for technical details:
Our film is made from polyurethane. ours is 12-mil, competitors’ are 6-mils and under if urethane, and as little as 2-mil if polyester. We are able to make our film much thicker due to our proprietary adhesive, which increases the material’s playability and thus ability to wrap around curved surfaces. We also have proprietary technologies for releasing air bubbles, which allows users of all skill levels to achieve great results. and since our films are applied using absolutely no liquids, consumers will never be denied warranty claims by Apple (or any other device manufacturer) due to moisture damage.
Here are a couple of good videos demonstrating the strength of our films: Click here and here.
As I said yesterday, you must put Wrapsol on your cell phone. I’m sick of seeing my friends sporting cell phones with busted screens.
History of health. Years later we find that something we loved was ruinous to our health. Smoking, asbestos, car exhaust, etc. I’m suggesting two new things and solutions:
1. Aluminum. You don’t want or need it. Please stop using anti-persipirant deodorants. They contain aluminum. Normal deodorants don’t.
2. Cell phones. Please don’t hold the thing to your head. Use a headset and avoid the radiation. I recommend a $3.29 headset.
Click here. Though Amazon says the headset is for BlackBerry, it works just fine on the iPhone.
If you don’t like headset, here’s another choice:
You plug them into your cell phone — just like the headset above. These handsets are called Moshi Moshi (hello in Japanese). They cost $30 a piece. Buy your boss a red one to show his importance. Click here.

Harry Newton who wangled himself an invitation to Verizon’s announcement this morning of their finally selling the iPhone. This news has got to be great for Apple and Verizon’s stock. Verizon runs a real cellular network. The iPhone will shine on it.
“Verizon runs a real cellular network. The iPhone will shine on it.” Perhaps — except that the iPhone can't use the “4G” Verizon network. But, the Droid phone that Verizon just rolled out can. Verizon is covering the bet and raising the pot.
I'm glad you showed a wired headset, but you didn't SAY “wired” headset. I could make the argument that Bluetooth, which operates right in the Microwave oven frequency range, will be more destructive to tissue that the cell phone.
That are the dangers of harmful radiation from a Blue Tooth device?
“…which increases the material’s playability and thus…” Err, shouldn't that be “pliability”?
Isn't it a shame when a company cannot even spell correctly, especially when they know it will be posted by a popular blogger?
Also, if you like those handsets, they are also Blutetooth version available (but that might fry your noggin too) http://www.amazon.com/ThinkGee…
Who can spell? Who can do grammar? The English language is morphing. Remember the “joke” I published a few days about the teacher asking the kids to create a sentence using the word handsome? Still the funniest punchline I've heard in eons.
Misspelling is getting more and more common, and unfortunately, accepted. Since as far as I know schools are still teaching it, it makes you wonder what else graduates of the system are not taking away with them?
That was a funny joke, but also, sadly, it may have been a real world example.
though “pliability” would also fit this context, my use of the word “playability”, was meant to describe the user's ability to manipulate the film (stretch, etc) into place. thx
“pliability” doesn't just fit, it's the correct word.
“playability” is how you would, for example, describe a computer or board game experience, and has nothing to do with how flexible something is.
I'm sure your product is great. Do you make it for the HTC Evo 4g?
we do. send me an email to igorm@wrapsol.com with your contact info and we will send a sample
thx
Wrapsol makes a great product, whether they can spell or not.
Harry,
Can you post your thoughts on Wrapsol after you use it? I’ve seen many negative user experiences on Mac Rumors by iPhone users. Most common complaint is that it will fall off especially the edges and lint will get underneath the Wrapsol.
Thanks,
Enjoy your website.
That's very generous of you Igor. I'll drop you a line when I'm back in the US.
Does a Blue Tooth devise emit harmful radiation?
