Let's walk this road togetherCategory: music
Took me a while to get to this song...
There is so much anger between the lines of hope. In love with the chorus. Works like apple zotz.

Future Justin Beiber.Category: music
But way better?
Wait, he and some American have Beiber fever.
I think I might just join the teenage throng rooting for this youtuber. That voice can launch a million R programmes.
EDIT: I just found out he is the most subscribed to youtuber in the UK. Who knew. He is famous. Already.

hahaha, I like justin beiber too. He is just a little bit overproduced now. I don't particularly like the auto-tuning (that he absolutely doesn't need) and all the gangster references (which he is not).
Wish he went back to acoustic singing. He is a wonderful singer. :)

Kale, tomatoes and almond soupCategory: eating in
Okay, another quickie but super delicious soup. This time in 20 minutes (because nothing was pre-cooked today).
0. Put in some orange lentils to cook in the rice cooker.
-- From here on it's a timed contest between you and rice cooker!
1. Heat the wok to a high temperature (this is a given. If you don't get this by now, you might as well order pizza)
2. Add a tablespoon of sesame oil
3. Add some dried red chillies, shredded coconut, garlic and ginger fine chopped.
4. Meanwhile dry toast some almonds on a nearby burner.
5. Saute garlic/ginger till garlic turns a faint light brown.
6. Toss in finely chopped Kale. Stir fry till BRIGHT green.
7. Salt it (the kale will let some water out)
8. Add some finely chopped ripe tomatoes. Toss till mixed with Kale.
9. Toss and saute till tomatoes are fairly done.
10. If you have a decent rice cooker, the lentils should be done by now. Add to the spiced kale-tomato mix with generous amount of water and bring to a low simmer.
And you are done! Garnish with fresh chopped basil and lightly crushed toasted almonds!

Toshiba motherboard friedCategory: i-tech
My grand Toshiba died just before Martin Luther's weekend. It wouldn't start. It was exactly 6 months old and well within it's 1 year warranty. So I shipped it off to the Toshiba depot, I always had a high opinion of Toshiba. My last 3 laptops have been Toshiba. I recommend Toshiba to everyone I know. But this whole fiasco shakes my faith in Toshiba rather substantially.
They sent an email back saying that they would like to charge me for these
What on earth does the warranty actually cover then??? I suspect, NOTHING.
Toshiba machines are, for the most part, reliable and well- performing. I hate that my machine died. However, this is the first time I have actually done heavy continuous processing on my laptop and experimented extensively with linux non-stop since I got it. Maybe the laptop wasn't up to the rigors I put it though. Maybe my high opinion of Toshiba came from my years of light everyday processing needs and not day-in-and-day-out of number crunching applications.
This is such a massive disappointment! I don't know whether to pay the $229.35 or just let it be shipped back un-repaired to take a stance against scalping.

MOTHERBOARD - $150.01
KEYBOARD - $19.34
And labor costs $60. (TOTAL OF $229.35)
..
California Customer will incur California sales tax on parts charge

I wonder how much a motherboard actually costs...

Yes, it is completely a hardware failure. They should technically cover it in warranty. But obviously they think this is a way to make money. I am sick of talking to their tech support call centre (I think it is based in India, btw) who specialize in annoying customers thoroughly.

Oh something else just crossed my mind.... You use Linux and not windows do you think that maybe they don't know how to fix it and have linux work.... My sis got a virus and found out the hard way still not sure what she is doing about it that it isn't covered by best buy or by the anti virus people bastards..... But unless you altered the computer physically (lap top not desk top) it should be covered?

That is Hard ware it should be covered ..... I think you should write them back and say that is supposed to be under warranty and they need to fix it for free or explain how it isn't covered and why!
