Before broadband internet arrived, of course you didn't mind sharing your uber-slow-turtle-like-speed internet connection! I am currently subscribed to Globe Visibility and when I am using it, I can't share my connection to other people because it is directly connected to my laptop. I get download speeds as high as 1.8 mbps -- I also download torrents at 200kbps++ rates :)    These devices connect to your latop directly via USB thus, giving the internet connection to one user only. With this USB Wireless Router, it will get connection from your laptop and share it to others! I've tried this gadget in several scenarios. When in a van (or bus), you can wifi enable your whole bus by just using this gadget! (of course, provided you have a globe, smart or sun broadband sucscription) Also, you can apply this scenario when on vacation in your rest house somewhere like Baguio or Tagaytay. Another scenario is, when accessing internet in coffee shops or airports. Some connections are not free. You have to pay a certain amount to get connected. With this gadget, you can share the connection you paid to other people! Well, there are limitless possibilities with this gadget! This is a must have this Christmas season. You think your dad or boss already has everything? I bet he / she doesn't have this one yet! Perfect Christamas gifts for techy guys and girls! Also, a perfect upgrade to your cluttered wifi office connection! For pictures, please go to: For_Sale: USB_Wireless_Router_--_Share_your_Globe_Visibility_Smart_Bro_Sun_Broadband_connection

Problem | One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap box that was empty. Immediately the thorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, | | Solution A | the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent whoopee amount to do so | | Solution B | But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line. |
Moral of the story: " Keep It Short & Simple" !! i.e. always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problem. So, learn to focus on solutions not on problems

 If you're lost in the Southern Hemisphere: Point your watch with 12 o'clock pointed at the sun. The spot halfway between that and the current placement of the hour-hand is NORTH. If you're lost in the Northern Hemisphere: Move your watch so that 12 o'clock is pointed to the left. Then, move your arm so the hour hand points at the sun. The spot halfway between the hour-hand and the 12 o'clock is SOUTH. Got this from a site.
