Computers / Re: 5 Gadgets That Are All Hype And Overpriced by Blockus: 11:33am On Nov 05, 2014
ayex2013:
Here are some of the worst price gadgets everyone seems to want or have. You can’t win with these guys so it’s best to just keep your money and buy more reasonable alternatives. Checkout our list of 5 Gadgets That Are All Hype And Overpriced;
1. Beats by Dre

The entire line is complete crap, especially for their ridiculous prices. Did you know that Beats Pro/detox that you saved over 500 dollars to get cost only 3 dollars to make and is still a crap quality headphone? Just giving you the facts people. Yo are buying a lifestyle when you should be buying quality.


I do Agree with the analysis on Beats..

What I realised in that most people buy the brand not the quality or the specs.. Sennheiser HD650 headphones puts Beats pro sef to shame and yet costs almost half the price of an original Beats.




ayex2013:
2. Samsung Phones

I do not have to reiterate how annoying these are. I mean, they are Android smart phones made entirely of plastic with a weak ass Gorilla glass thing attached to the front. Drop ones and it breaks. And you are expected to shell out over a hundred thousand naira to buy these phones most of the time if you want a flagship something. Can’t be life.


It would be difficult for me to be objective here as I am a BIG BIG Samsung groupie.. grin

I own the Galaxy note 3 and I have loved that phone every step of the way. I do agree it's pricey, but once you go past the plastic exterior, the rest of the phone is just devine. grin


ayex2013:
3. Apple Mac Books

Do me a favor, when you are done with this post, kindly take a stroll over to Jumia and check out Mac Book prices… The go all the way up to about a million naira. For a laptop, that needs to charge with electricity and you still have to pay for internet. No Bueno Amigo!!!! The price just doesn’t add up to what we are buying. Sorry!

Apple Products are a NO NO for me.. They are over-priced, too darn restricting in their usage and costs even more money to run as you are forced to purchase even more apps from Apple Store to use your over-priced apple device.

I do however still have big love for the Apple Ipod Classic though. grin



ayex2013:
4. Samsung TVs

The other day mans is strolling through the mall and I see this curved LED TV by Samsung for 30 million naira… No mistakes guys, I call the attendant and asked if there was some kind of error and she did well to hold back her laughter in mockery of my obvious confusion… Then you start to look around and you begin to notice the prices on these things. Samsung needs to be stopped!


The Samsung Smart TV range.. grin

My Guy.. Please lets not talk about this device.. The only thing this TV cant do is to allow the characters on the screen enter your home live. grin

Then when you pair your Samsung Smart TV with your Samsung Smart Phone, the interaction is on a Sci-fi level. grin

The price however is astronomically high (most especially in Nigeira).. But like my Momma would say, the best things in life aint cheap.



ayex2013:
5. Smart Watches

The new rave of the moment, everyone wants a Moto 360 or a pebble that will set you back 700-800 dollars, Money that can buy land. And all the watch will do is notify you when your phone is ringing and tell you time and weather. Alright guys, I understand the foolishness. Well done! OBO!

I love my Samsung Galaxy Gear.. Moderately priced and very functional and useful for me. Doubles both as a handsfree device for when I am driving and serves like a pager for when I am in a meeting and my cellphone is on silent. The Pedometer also comes in handy o help track my daily exercise routine..

I love it, love it, love it...











FINALLY!! The real advice here should be 'cut your coat according to your size'..

Religion / Re: Mega Church Pastors That Fell For Adultery by Blockus: 6:50am On Sep 07, 2014
Chaleeee: 17) Pastor Fatoyinbo of COZA flew all the way to United Kingdom to straff Ese Walters. Ese Walters was at first an usher in the Abuja branch of COZA before pastor Fatoyinbo "promoted" her to head the Pastor Welfare Department.
After this, he planned his move when Ese went to UK for a masters degree program. In order to have his way with this young damsel, Pastor Fato (as he is fondly called) claimed that he can show her a "NEW LEVEL OF GRACE". Thus he committed adultery with her.
When Ese's conscience began to worry her, he busted the speakers by confessing to the world via a blog that pastor Fato has bleeped her severally. All this philandering pastor could say is "We have met with different pple and they told me not to respond. God told me not to respond. I am preparing a robust reply"

Over a year now, he hasn't replied.

He bleeped her and poured his anointing oil on her. grin

Health / Re: Here Is What Coffee Actually Does To Your Brain by Blockus: 11:25am On Sep 01, 2014
stingbreed: Coffee wakes you up in the morning and keeps you alert throughout the day, but how does its magic ingredient actually work?
The first thing to know is that part of your natural tiredness comes from a molecule called adenosine, which is produced by your body while it chugs along through the day. "While you sleep, the concentration of adenosine declines, gradually promoting wakefulness. Meanwhile, the more adenosine that builds up, the sleepier you feel.

Your morning coffee is able to hijack that process because caffeine looks a lot like adenosine to your brain cells:

Because of its similar shape, caffeine can bind to the adenosine receptors in your brain. Once the caffeine is locked into adenosine's rightful spot though, there is no way for the adenosine to stick around — which prevents it from building up and making you sleepy.

Without the molecule that usually induces exhaustion, "our natural stimulants run wild," Joseph Stromberg writes in Smithsonian. The result? You feel wide awake — at least for a while.

But all good things must come to an end, and your brain quickly wises up to your tricks.

When the adenosine is continually blocked from binding to its receptors, your body eventually creates more receptors — which means you need even more caffeine to plug them up. This can make kicking your coffee habit increasingly difficult, and make you need more and more caffeine to stay alert.

"When you try to quit drinking coffee or miss your daily intake, you might experience some withdrawal symptoms and feel more tired than you would have before you ever drank coffee."

But caffeine does more than just block adenosine. It can also pump up your levels of adrenaline and boost your mood — "the exact same thing cocaine does, just to a lesser degree,"




Why does that Molecule have a Yoruba name (Adenosine)?.

Jets!!

Lol.. You want to fly jets and bomb who now?! How do you bomb targets you cant see?!

They would be better off purchasing Helicopter Gunships than Jets. The cost of flying regular sorties on a military jet is about 3 time the cost per sortie in a Gunship.

I would rather we purchase like 20 MH-6 Little Bird Helos to run sky patrol over the City and Jets like our MIGs to do intercept and precision bombing raids.

nnamdizen: Am sorry, but it is a greater sin to miss lead your fellow man and worse still by the use of the scriptures. Point N0 1: David was a man after gods own heart i.e he can never do wrong in the sight of god. Point N0 2: He was filled with the holly spirit during the dance and his actions was not contiously co ordinated to say he disrobbed himself on purpose. Point N0 3: Back in the days there were no trousers, pants, skirt, shirt or what have you to better clothe oneself, what they had was robes, fastened by a pin on one shoulder which can easily fall off when vigoriously shaken.


Now you are pulling stuff out of your arse like Pastors do on the pulpit..

David was happy that the Israelites had recovered the Ark of God and was celebrating it. Which one come be filled with the Holy Spirit inside this matter now?

And why lie that David could do no wrong by god when god clearly punished severally including when he fhucked Uriahs wife and killed Uriah.

And who said there were no trousers in that time? When Infact, trousers were actually worn by women and not men.



Let's not start twisting things twisted here.. The bible was clear in its description of David's activities.

nnamdizen: ok sir... Worldly things are practices which are contrary to the teachings of the church! Like dace steps where ladies through their bom bom care freely in all directions to attract mens attention to their bodies is not right inside the church.
