Beware of Samsung products

My Samdung LNS4041D broke today with the screen failed to power up, this isn't the first time I had bad experience with Samsung. The DVD rom on my xbox360 scratches my disc, the Samsong 24" CRT Monitor I had give me white flickers, and now that 40" LNS4041D LCD tv failed to power on with constant clicking sound.

They are all made by Samsung. I know that they outsource manufacturing to plants in China but that is no excuse for lack of quality control.

Therefor I am boycotting Samsung. And may Apple import ban all Samsung's infringing products.

Edit: Turns out Samdung installed 10 Volt capacitors on a 12 Volt board, what it will eventually happen is the capacitor will age faster than normal, normally a tv set that should last for 9+ years will fail in just 2-3 years. There are HUGE number of Samdung TV customers with this related issue all over the web. From older tv set LNS4041 to newer onesLN-T4671F , they all experience this clicking sound of fail.

We are dealing with a dishonest merchant who intentionally put a under qualify part inside numerous models of expensive TV set. I call for boycotting Samdung for life.

And do not give in to have a Samdung certify tech at your expense, all they do is REPLACE THE FAILED 10 Volt cap WITH A SAME 10Volt cap. it will just fail again.

I've been following AMD for quite a while, especially their Fusion processors.

There are no choices...

There are no choices. Nothing but a straight line. The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask "Why me?" and "What if?". When you look back and see the branches, like a pruned bonsai tree, or forked lightning. If you had done something differently, it wouldn't be you, it would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions.

The day that changed my life...Forever.

Well, where should I start? Maybe from the beginning. That would be nice...

Back when I was in hi school grade 8, I have the chance of meeting someone who was a Buddhist. I since then learn a great deal of myself from all the practice session I toke.

From all the masters, they all said I have great potential. That my life here has a purpose, a destiny some would like to call. I did not realize what they meant until a year and a half later, I wanted to become a monk. But "they" stopped me.

In my class there was a girl. She is very pretty. I can honestly said that she is THE PRETTIEST GIRL IN THE SCHOOL. What that mean is she received about 15 letters from Valentin's day alone. I know that my chances are slim to none. So what I did was to wish that she would be safe and be happy where ever she's is.

I wish she will be safe and a life full of happiness...

I made that wish in from of my desk which have 1 statue and 1 photo of 2 Bodhisattva (Avalokitesvara's photo, Ksitigarbha's statue).

It was then that "they let me know."

To be continued...
