Cover your iPod with a 3G peel!

At last, companies are awakening to the fact that lot of people buy the iPhone because it's connected to the Internet all the time. How about having a device that did most of the stuff that the iPhone does but without the commitment of a two year contract with AT&T or some other voice and data provider? That would be great, right? Well, we already have the iPod Touch. Yes, it has Wi-Fi, but if you are not covered by a "hotspot" 24/7, 100% of the time, you're out of luck. How about a case, that you could put on your iPod Touch in, that had a 3G router or the capability to attach one to it? That would solve the problem; right? Well, it has been done. It's called the Apple Peel 520 by Yosion. It is on sale right now in China for a price between ¥300 ($44) and ¥500 ($74). For a couple of days, it has been a rumor, vaporware; but now, the idea has been validated by non-other than Sprint.

Got your new pc, now what?: Getting Rid of the Junk.

You been waiting, saving some money, and looking for the right one. Finally after a lot of trouble(maybe) you got it; a brand new PC (laptop or desktop). Now what? Well; if you brought yourself a new Mac you are pretty much set after installing Firefox. But if you're stuck with a Windows PC now the real work starts: getting rid of all the junk that comes with it.

Most PC vendors, in order to get a few bucks here and there or to create a false sense of value, preinstall a slew of programs in hope that you stick to some of them, that is part of the marketing game. This programs run from a silly CD/DVD burner program to trials of office productivity suites to antivirus software that work for 3 to 6 months the least and don't offer any more protection that a free counterpart, like MS Security Essentials or Avast. More often than not, these programs are totally unnecessary, and to a point, they can also be a burden to the user and to the system itself.
