Genesis 6

1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

5And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

7And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

8But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

9These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

10And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

13And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

14Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

15And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

16A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

17And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

18But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

19And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.

20Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.

21And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

22Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
 
I placed an order a while back for this Macpadd and did receive it. Have been using it for almost a year now but only issue i had with this is the glue that binds the rubber mat to the aluminum has become like liquid. The mat moves about freely and I have to remove it and realign it every few days. I emailed QMS to request a solution to fix this, they haven't replied in four days now. *Sigh* after reading this I realized i may never hear back from them so I took the matter into my own hands and fixed it myself. Thanks QMS!
 
Okay, after reading through 5 out of the 7(as of now) pages I can't refrain myself from posting this reply any longer:

To those who think this article is inappropriate:

Tom's Hardware "used" to be a site just for hardware review and computer how to, but time has changed, and media simply has to keep up. Tom's Hardware's biggest audience group are people that will ACTUALLY consider buying one of these product, and it is their duty as a media to share information like this. Tom's Hardware is also not the only one doing investigative journalism, Maximum PC magazine also has a dedicated section JUST FOR this type of information. These information are the ones that's going to save you money and a lot of agony and pain, plus, look how many views this article have generated, from a business stand point:"way to go!!"


However, I do think this article have given out too much information about the reporter himself, if Tom's Hardware is even considering doing more articles of this type, you guys better stop providing that much information, otherwise the scammers will simply "learn" to not piss-off just the reporters, and the effort would soon to be rendered useless.

I ordered a pad from them last year the week it was announced. I got the product within a couple weeks with no problems. To be honest it isn't the greatest mousepad though as it is too course and my apple mouse feels griddy sliding across it.
 
Um, I feel like I really need to point this out.
You ordered on the 23rd, and on the 30th demanded a tracking number/confirmation of shipment within 24 hours. That was only 5 business days from the date of your order. By his 3-7 BUSINESS day policy, he still had 2 days to ship and really you shouldn't have been threatening to file a complaint at that point.
Of course you are still in the right, I just thought that needed to be pointed out.
 
I have a thought why don't you buy it from other world computing and at least get the product in house from a reputable retailer. Plus you can tell us if it really any better then a nice beloved patriot of polished airframe aluminium. Oh BTW aluminium is not so medically neutral as they state. Any pits or scratches in the surface can harbor infectious agents. Just some thoughts.
 
I just hope (for your sake) that the mouse pad doesn't suddenly show up in in your mailbox after all.

With a postmark of October 3rd, of course. :) :) :)

Anyone take a look at the site recently.

he states:

"Moving on;


Thank you to our customers and “fans” for your support


News;


New ground breaking product in development - stay tuned!

Same innovation, same theme, “who would have thunk it?” "

What a tool, I hope our mounties, the CCB, and the BBB get this guy shut down.

Hahaha the no slip base makes me laugh the hardest, that's just some no slip sink doily (that don't work very well), my grandma uses those in cupboards to keep dishes from putting rings in the cupboard hahaha other than that they are completely useless.

Don't worry Tuan I'll be spreading this info around to my fellow Canadians.

is it alright to link to your reports on my personal blog?

"10. Can this mouse padd be used with Windows or other mouse systems?"

This is my favorite. From the macpadd.com FAQ section.
 
According to this entry Free works in retail: http://younoodle.com/startups/macpadd_com. Specifically:

I am currently working on my graduate of Management Studies Diploma (Bus. Admin.) at Conestoga College in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I am a full-time manager at a retail clothing store and run an online retail venture for Apple users.

What an idiot! Can't stand businesses like these!
 
'Error

Journal has been deleted. If you are macpadd, you have a period of 30 days to decide to undelete your journal.'

Ha! Second thoughts about the angry blog David? Try being honest with your customers instead of making false claims and acting aggressive when pressed.
 
Oh, but you were trying to get "Free" products...products made by Mr. Free.

/Removing tongue from cheek.
 
Well, looks like he took the entire blog down.

Good reading! Comedy gold about a dufus who, through his own actions (or is it inaction in this case?) makes himself look even worse.
 
Ahhh Tuan... Still up to your old tricks I see. 😛
Congrats on the win!

I almost bought one of this when Giz initially did a good review - I'm glad I didn't and Giz retracted that review today.
