I have used a few different taxi and limousine companies, and I can tell you a few horror stories…  Once I have ordered a taxi for 6:15 am, and I waited for about 5 minutes, I called the company.  They told me that there was no such order, even after I gave them the confirmation number!  So too bad, Mom got dressed in 1 minute and drove me off to the airport.  Thanks Mom!  Next…

Here is the number you can Air Canada Reservation call to upgrade your air ticket, if you have an upgrade certificate:  1-888-247-2262

(Actually once I complained to Kwong how come I can never be able to used those upgrade certificates when I am at the gate.  He then suggested me to upgrade the tickets by calling them ahead.  Thanks Kwong!)

Here is what I’ve got from WebSphere Commerce Info Center about Struts Configuration.

• The configuration is stored in the file struts-config.xml file. (in WEB-INF)
• The property value for “https” , “authenticate” , “credentialsAccepted” are WebSphere Commerce specific properties.

Here is an article from WSJ which Kwong forwarded me to read (you think that I am the kind of person who will search for interesting articles to read? yeah right…): Outsourcing Your Life

We have been discussing about these big corporation shifting their powerhouses to India (offshore outsourcing), and I have been expressing concern that within 5 years, the work that we are currently doing can be easily substituted by a offshore workforce.

I was talking to my Info Broker about re-selling songs purchased from authorized seller. Here is some information that he got for me:

ITunes Store Terms of Services

• Basically in section 9, it states that what you’ve got is only for noncommercial use. So I guess re-selling the song is classified as commercial activity.

I have been looking for information about mp3 ringtone.  I know that downloading music online is illegal (except from authorized resellers like itunes).  However about mp3 ringtone (like a 15 seconds extract of a song), do we need to purchase it from authorized reseller?

Here is the answer from US government copyright law office.   Basically it states that mp3 ringtone (an extract from a copyrighted song) is also protected by the copyright law for the song.  So selling by a non-authorized reseller or downloading it from non-authorized reseller is illegal.
