Review: The Dell Streak

August 31st, 2010

The most intriguing and explosive fact about the Dell Streak is that it does not resemble a regular phone. It does not have the boring appearance and design of a cell phone. Instead, the Dell Streak presents itself in the fashion of an iPad, only much smarter! It is an Android phone with all the important applications present, and with a gigantic 5-inch screen, which will become your best tool for watching online videos, for surfing the web, or for Read the rest of this entry »

All about a website design

Web design is not a work that only needs web development knowledge; it also requires loads of creativity. Without creativity, a web design will just be a project work, but with your own creativity, it could be a dream work. Web design can be done through PHP and also .NET; if you are going to design a professional web site for a corporate company, then you can use .NET because it has its own standards.

PHP is Read the rest of this entry »

Would you pay for Spam?

Would you pay for Spam?

I hate Spam. That horrible meaty stuff that comes in a can, only God knows who would eat it. I also hate it when it comes into my inbox, I am not interested in buying teeth whitening or buying business cards thank you very much! So you can imagine my frustration when I discovered in an article on techeye.net that HP was planning to introduce Spam to their printers.

Apparantly HP’s ePrint printers, which are connected to the home router Read the rest of this entry »

Open Office- A viable replacement against the leading brand?

Microsoft Office was a revolutionary software when it was launched. We got the innovative MS Word, the professional MS PowerPoint, MS Excel transformed accounting, and MS Access made it easy to store data and create letters fast using “Mail Merge.”

Microsoft Office is great for a variety of tasks, but it comes at a price. The latest version, MS Office could cost up to £349, pretty expensive for a home computer. The other, tempting option would be to copy somebody Read the rest of this entry »

Cosmopolitan: A Fun website

Recently I saw a website of the world famous magazine “Cosmopolitan”. The printed version of this women’s magazine was first published in 1960’s. Presently, the magazine features a wide variety of subjects including sex, health, relationships, celebrity lifestyle, careers, and also gives a lot of emphasis on the fashion and beauty segment.

The cover stories of website should be quite appealing to readers, I surely found them so. Some of them are covered topical issues such as date rape drugs, Read the rest of this entry »

Retr(i)o Adverts.

April 8th, 2010

Maybe it’s just me, but the television commercials of years ago seemed to be a lot more fun than today’s. I was thinking about chocolate bars this morning (I often think about chocolate bars!), when I remembered, from my childhood, the old ‘Trio’ adverts with the loud-mouthed girl. Being the sad case I am, I decided to see if anyone had uploaded any of them onto YouTube. Lo and behold, it seems I am not the only sad case out Read the rest of this entry »

Mobile Phones Favouring Wi-Fi

March 24th, 2010

Cell phones are no longer used only for making calls or sending text messages any more. Most cell phone users want more, specifically a fast and reliable way to gain access to the internet. Wi-Fi is the new way, and mobile phone companies are moving towards this rapidly to appease the demands of the public.

In 2009, there were over 139 million phones with Wi-Fi capability up from 93 million a year before, with that number expecting to jump to Read the rest of this entry »

Rudebow.

March 17th, 2010

As a former child of the 1970s, I have very fond memories of ‘Rainbow’. I used to just love watching the antics of Bungle, Zippy and George; and listening to their inane conversations with Jeffery always made me laugh. Even Rod, Jane and Freddy once had the power the keep me quiet as I watched the show.

So when I was on You Tube the other day, I decided to rekindle some of my childhood memories…

But; Shock! Horror! I Read the rest of this entry »

Review: Image X10i headphones

Most ultraportable headphones don’t make the grade with those people who are serious about music quality. Most are cheap, provide limit sound quality and are usually quite uncomfortable. However, Klipsch’s new Image X10i headphones not only provide pristine, high quality audio feedback, but are also incredibly comfortable.

The comfort comes from the ultra slim copper earpieces, which fit softly in the ears and hardly noticeable to the wearer. Klipsch includes five different sets of eartips: three standard sleeves plus two Read the rest of this entry »
