I’ve been walking around SM Mall of Asia today and saw something nifty that may be of some good use. They call it the Extreme Power Saver. This is how it basically works. Just plug it in to any AC Outlet in your house and when your monthly electric bill is due, you save 30% off. There seems to be much debate about power saving devices. A lot of discussions are going on here.

Now down to the basic question, is it a scam or not? I have no idea. Some people say it is, some people say it isn’t. However, Ace Hardware in SM seems to stake their name on the latter, since they’re selling the Extreme Power Saver at Php 2,000. I got mine at Php 1,500 because it was on sale. I still have to observe if it really does what its supposed to. I’ll let you all know what’s what soon.

To most people, electric cars are the future. They save you money. They don’t pollute the environment. They aren’t noisy. They look cool. However, there are things in the technology that electric cars use that CAN go wrong. I’m not saying that they WILL inevitably go wrong. These are just the things that they see might go wrong. Here’s the list:

Cruise Control
Anti-lock Brakes
Engine Control Module
Door locks
Power Steering
Electronic Throttle Control
Vehicle data bus

These things actually can go wrong with petrol powered cars. So I don’t see this as a big deal which they can’t fix or improve on when they start mass producing.
