Jumbo Caller ID
Posted in: Today's Chili
You know that as we age, some of us do experience a “breakdown” in our body parts, that goes without saying. After all, mankind was not “built” to last, so to speak, so some of us start to require a pair of glasses, while others lose their sense of hearing (or even to the scourge of Alzheimer’s, the Long Goodbye). Good thing is, there has been medical advances which have helped stunt or arrest some of these degradations, although some like Alzheimer’s, have no clear cure in sight yet. Still, those who are suffering from poorer eyesight will be pleased to hear that there is help in the form of surgery in some cases, correction lenses, and just for today, the $24.95 Jumbo Caller ID.
Yes sir, the Jumbo Caller ID says it all, doesn’t it? It sports a bright, backlit LCD display that works as named, giving you all the nitty gritty required at a glance as to who is calling (as long as the name of the caller is entered into the database, of course) in addition to the number. It all remains whether you want to pick up the call or not. The Jumbo Caller ID will feature enough memory for up to 99 names and numbers, has a message waiting indicator, caller ID callback, and over a dozen more other functions to keep senior citizens happy. Since it comes in bi-lingual (English and Spanish) support, something tells me that this targets the Americas more than anywhere else. Powered by a quartet of AAA batteries, the Jumbo Caller ID even doubles up as an alarm clock with snooze, now how about that?

The smuggling of illegal drugs has been going on forever. We’ve seen and heard of some pretty creative ways, such as relying on drug mules who smuggle drugs by sticking it in places where the sun don’t shine. However we can imagine that not all drug mules are reliable especially since they are people and people do make mistakes. So what can a drug syndicate do to smuggle their drugs over the Mexican border? Shoot them over in a cannon, of course! Mexican police have recently confiscated a homemade cannon that has been shooting cylinders of marijuana over a border fence into the state of California.
I’ve never liked the freemium model simply because it usually causes gamers to spend more than they would had they bought the game outright. Unfortunately it is a model that many developers are starting to adopt, most notably in the mobile scene where games such as the recently announced Real Racing 3 are free, but in order to speed things up in the game, unlock features and etc., gamers would have to fork out additional money. It seems that in the UK, a 5-year old boy might have gone a tad overboard and has gone on a spending spree with his parents’ credit card, racking up an iTunes bill of a whopping £1,700 (~$2,555)!
If you’re a fan of racing games, then the Gran Turismo franchise is one that is probably well known to you. The good news is that if you’ve been looking forward to Gran Turismo 6, a game that has been in development since 2010, at least according to Sony, you’re in luck.
