Aware of Tupperware ?

Tupperware is the name of a home products line that includes preparation, storage, containment, and serving products for the kitchen Tupperware bottles: The mouth of this bottle is as big as Humans mouth. Though it is good for filling the water into bottle with such a big opening, Very difficult to drink if you dont like to bite the bottle while you drink. Name, Colors and Quality might attract the people to buy, but what about BIG loopHOLE?!!

Left or Right? Compromised to Mic!

Usually the Mic in the Headphones will be on the left side, (connected to the left speaker) but in my Odyssey Headphone, Left speaker is not a left speaker! When i change the audio settings and drive the entire audio to left speaker it will be played in Right speaker! If I put headphone reverse on my head to make sure the left speaker is on my left ear, Mic will be on the back side of my head!

3. Windows 8, 7+1 Flaws?!

While there are a number of new features that are undeniably intuitive in Windows 8, there are some downsides too. Notable among them is the new user interface that is not only hard to navigate to the desktop, but also very confusing to find a way back to the Start menu. While its quite intuitive and ambitious, average users will likely find it hard navigating. In the same regard, the new interface design feels like it was created for tablet computing rather than for the desktop. It is primarily a touch-based interface and although it supports keyboard and mouse use, people that are so used to the keyboard style will find that it doesnt flow well on Windows 8.

4. File Drawer

As shown in the photo on the left, the handle on the top doesn't open the top file drawer. Instead, it pulls the whole file cabinet out from under the table. The problem is that the handle to move the cabinet is very close to the top drawer and it is more obvious than the actual handle for the top drawer. Thus, it is easy to mistake the top handle as the handle for the top drawer. One is much more likely to want to open the file drawer than to move the cabinet, so the handle to move the cabinet should be less obvious.

5. USB connector

The USB connectors are practically universal on computers today. We use one almost every day to connect a mouse to computer. Problem is that when we try to plug the USB connector in, we frequently turn it the wrong way. It is difficult to tell just by looking which way it plugs in. Usually, manufacturers print the USB symbol on "top" of the connector so if the connector is oriented horizontally, the symbol faces up. That doesn't help if the connector needs to plug in vertically. The USB symbol usually isn't very salient either. This is not a huge problem. When you try to plug it in the wrong way, it doesn't go in. You just need to flip it over and plug it in. But the problem is persistent. We still catch ourselves doing this occasionally, even though we know it is a problem. There are more than a billion of these connectors in use today. Even if a billion people make this mistake only once and only lose a second correcting the mistake, the lost time adds up to 31 years.
