Technology in your hands.

Well, as micrsoft’s baby Internet explorer had always taken the lead, I think people are all gradually switching to Firefox. I really use firefox, just for the reason that it is CONVENIENT. Yes, you have the ability to do updates easily, switch tabs faster, it has a recover option if it is closed by accident{ system failure}, have RSS feeds {with a drop down}, you can do the google index search only with firefox, and overall its alot faster. On contrary, IE 7 does have the tabbing system, it has the phishing tool, has nice layout, but its bit slow. Anyone else think Mozilla > IE?

Yes, if your computer is slow, and I mean slow when you open few windows and baam it freezes. You most likely need a ram update. Getting a 1gb of ram should definitely make your adventure really smooth. Check out this hot deal on 1024 ram.

Also, one of the best ways to increase the productivity of your computer is delete all your old movies, and music that you don’t really listen or watch anymore. Having good amount of hard drive space free is a really good thing.

Get a malware detector. I use pestpatrol, and it works fine. Sometimes those malwares can really kill your computer.

Ok, I just saw an ad on Moonshoes- which are just a simple pair of shoes in which kids jump on, except they just don’t do ordinary 2 inch jumps, instead they do like a foot of jump. They seem to be really unique, and are currently going for $29.95 on Amazon. Do they have a pair for adults? I am interested.

 

• The original mini trampolines made for feet so kids can jump with anti-gravity effects!
• Big bounce aerobatics!
• Mini trampolines
• Quality, high-density plastic, adjustable nylon straps with sure-footing, non-skid treads

Quite appealing right? Check out this video on youtube, which must just remove all your misunderstandings. The song is pretty good. lol.

Umm, however, some claim that they shoes aren’t the best. Check out this video, and apparently the kid claims that his ankles hurt.

Recently, I had my hands on the network adapters from Netgear, which basically are wireless cards, but portable and alot stronger. It comes with its own software which controls your network, and obviously, the instruction manual.

First off- the product was fairly well, as it did detect wireless connections farther than my actual 5 year antique card. The software was quite sophisticated, had quite unique features such as “Find new networks” and it took only 15 seconds, to refresh on that. However, the piece is bit big, and quite large in width, specifically. Moreover, it was great, and worked fairly well. It’s range is around 1000ft. The guy at staples told me 2000, if there are not too many walls.

The device is useful if you aren’t getting clear reception at places. The price is around $80, so try it out if you have problem connecting to a network. Too bad all my neighbor networks were secured. Perhaps, a very good tool when you live in a condo.

Recently, I’ve got my hands on the Blackberry 7130C. It is quite outdated, compared to other new models such as the 8800, and so on. The main point I’d like to say about it is, it is not for everyone. The phone does have a nice layout, you have large icons, and quite colorful. There is an option where your emergency calls can bypass your settings, you have a scroll wheel, and unfortunately, no camera. However, you will see that they probably do have some camera’s and other tweaks on the upgraded models.

The phone has a nice email software. Email are quite easily done, and you can save drafts. Additionally, you have internet, which I didn’t get to use, but hoping it won’t be too bad.

Some Cons:

There are office applications, but they can get quite expensive, and the keyboard isn’t the best. Having 2 letter per key can make it annoying. The phone overall is great, but some features such as the keyboard, and other side stuff aren’t the best.

You can make the text really big, so if you have trouble getting down with the tiny lines on the normal flip phones, you are better off with blackberry. Text messaging is a charm, the way it sorts messages. Not a bad one.

Dell recently has the New “Vostro” laptops for actually a really good price compared to many other brands such as HP, sony, gateway, and the rest of the crew which includes our sneaky acer. Well, the vostro has some really good deals and here is one that I found:

Dell Vostro 1000, AMD AthlonTM 64 X2 Dual-Core TK-53, 1.7GHz, 15.4? WXGA, 2GB RAM, 120GB, 8X DVD+/-RW2 with double-layer3 DVD+R write capability, Cyberlink Power DVD, 802.11b/g, ATI Radeon® Xpress 1150 256MB HyperMemory™, Windows XP Home, 1yr Warranty, 10GB On-line Backup 1yr » for $629 at Dell.com

If you can get around 2gb ram for that price with a dual core processor, you are in good hands. (Got that from allstate insurance ) Additionally, you get even get a nice graphics card which is rarely ever included in the other prestige brands. Make your choice.

One of the best ways to save money in such a tight market is finding your competitors. Competition is good for the consumers, because it is very important in determining the price. If we have 5 people buying same thing at $100, and only one company makes- the company will get the $100 no matter what, however, if we have 4 more companies- they all will compete for us, meaning to get our business they must fight for prices, thus resulting in a price cut for us.

Ebay, Overstock, and Amazon are ridiculously great places to make money (side cash, also), and best places to save that last dollar. They all compete, and all are based on auctions. So, if you are looking for an item next time, remember to amazon it, ebay it, or overstock it. They have good stuff, and the best deals all year around. Save money, and sell your old stuff and make money. HALF.com is great for books, which is powered by Ebay.
