The rice theory conclusion

Hello!


Good something to you!


Well the verdict is still out there, I told you about the solution my daughter brought to my wife regarding her submersible iPhone, well I can certify that for my wife it didn't work. But yesterday night one of my readers Facebook me and told me that it does work! What gives? How come he didn't work for my wife's cell phone? Well my reader kept on going, apparently she has a friend that was swimming with his cell phone in shark infested waters and as soon as he got out he noticed that his cell phone was wet, the guy knew about the trick so he immediately grabbed a bag of rice and inserted his cell phone in there. And guess what? It freaking work according to my reader! The logic behind this is that rice absorbs water and for the trick to work you must put the phone inside a bag of rice as soon as possible. So to my reader the trick worked but to me the phone is kaput. By the way, his friend did not swim in shark infested waters, the guy was drowning in 2 feet of water with his cell phone on him.


The theory being said and the verdict still not confirm I will now move on to the activities of this afternoon.


Well yours truly here wanted to join Netflix, so he started to test their movies and he jumped to the conclusion. I said to myself, self if you get Netflix you will have to upgrade your Internet speed because the movies that you are seeing at the current Internet speed suck! Okay, but here in the South shore we cannot get fiber optic speeds yet, bummer! So I called Bell hoping against hope that maybe this technology was available here, and guess what happened? It is!! So yours truly upgraded his Internet speed to... 25 Mbps! Yes, I know that for some places in this world this is turtle speed but for us who are subscribed to Bell Canada, here in Québec, this is top speed. And this afternoon I will have a technician from Bell Canada install a new modem, a fiber optic modem, and apparently tomorrow I will be blazing the Internet highway at speeds I could only dream of.


And what about Netflix?


Well... As I browse their movie selection I noticed that these guys are also back in the 30s when it comes to movies! I thought they were going to have the latest and greatest but when I see movies that are older than my kids, I will step away until they get better movies. My plan was to get Netflix and dump the movie Central as well as the Super Channels saving me a whole bunch of money seeing that Netflix offers movies for eight bucks a month. But you have to be a connoisseur to appreciate the films, I'm talking big time, Eddie Murphy films? Really??


So in a nutshell I will get faster Internet service but I'm not getting Netflix, sorry Netflix...



Take care people!
