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.

When you turn on your computer for the first time; their is a couple of thing that needs to be done in order get the best service from your piece of hardware. Depending of your necessities, now its the time to choose the suite of programs that is going to make your life a little easier.

It doesn't matter what OS you are running; the first time you turn on your computer, you'll need to setup some basic parameters. This step is really easy; at least on Windows, Macs, or the user friendly versions of Linux (Ubuntu anyone?). You just need to answer a few questions in order to establish the user, password, network settings, etc. After that, the really important decisions have to be made.

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.

"No", can be an answer; in case you didn't know that!

I don't understand why people of certain age group or generation think they are entitle to stuff. I bet you are going to experience this, at least once in your lifetime. One big example  is when people ask for favors. Who in the world told then that when you ask something from somebody, as a favor; let say a friend, family member or some random person, you will always get a 'yes' to your desire?

I've been experiencing this all my life; when a was a kid and now, that I'm suppose to be an adult. There are these people that ask you to do something for then, just as a favor, and when you tell then that you cannot do it they go berserk.

 Like the time a "friend" of mine ask me to borrow my car so he can go on a 3.5 hour trip to "see" his then girlfriend. He tells me: Bro!, can I borrow your car for a quick trip to see my girlfriend? Please man, I'm dying to see her, etc. He didn't think that I may need my car during that time or that I can't lend it to him because if something happened my insurance won't cover it or even the fact that his driver license was expire and I knew that.

Guitar lessons from Dave Mustaine

Lilliput Mini 7" USB Monitor

For quite some time, I've been looking for a second monitor to add to my system. The problem is that the graphics card that I have only has one video output and I can't, for the time being, add another card. Well, the solution for this dilemma is an USB based monitor. After searching the net for an inexpensive solution I came across the Lilliput Mini 7" USB Monitor.
This monitor requires no extra power; it takes all it needs from the 5 volts of your USB port; and its great for laptop use because of its really portable size. This monitor can function has a display for any document that you are working form, as well to display any application that doesn't need high resolutions (it only have a 800x480 resolution display & a contrast ratio of 400:1) like an instant messenger client, your twitter page or just if you want to use it as a digital picture frame. The best part is the price: it under $100 bucks in mayor online retailers.
ThinkGeek has it for $99.99+shipping; Amazon form $99.95+shipping and looking on eBay (something that I don't recommend) I found one for $115.95 with "free shipping" and another for a starting bid of $75.00 (it looked fake, though).

Anyway, this is a good solution for your display needs and if you want to find out more about it, here is the manufacturer web site and also a good review done by the guys a PC Perspective.

Update: It works on Macs and PCs; but beware, maybe you'll need to download the drivers for you Snow leopard Mac OSX machine. Video after the break.

Iron Man 2 trailer 2; enough said!

There's not such a thing as free internet people!

Al parecer, todavia hay gente que cree que existe algo cuyo precio es gratis, cero, nada. Un ejemplo de esto es lo que me pasó ayer. Esta persona, con una cara de semi-preocupación, me pregunta: ¿Tienes una cajita que te pueda comprar para poder cojer internet?

Yo la miro y me pregunto: ¿Que será lo que quiere; un router, un modem o quizas algún network adapter of some sort?  Termino preguntandole: ¿Un router?(insert explanation of a router here).

-No.

¿Un wireless adapter?(insert explanation of wireless adapter here).

-No.

 ¿Quizas un wireless network range extender?(insert explanation of that here).

-No, no. Quiero algo que le pueda ponerle a la computadora para "cojer" internet!
