Posted by: techychick  /  Category: AmusingéMusing, Gadgets, Useful Links/Tips

So I read from engadget that Microsoft has their on lil’ iPad like gadget to compete with Apple?  While we were out looking for a  dehumidifier we met a geeky friend of ours in the mall - who showed us the piece from Engadget that had some info on the Courier.  Apparently - it has a dual screen just like a book.   It’s also marketed as a digital journal and really thin and light.  We don’t have a price now but rumor has it that it has a webcam on it.   Interesting - that’s for sure and definitely more a ladies gadget?

LED Backlit Monitor

The “in” thing now for monitors - for a 23″  - it’s only $300 - not bad at all.  So what is the big deal..??  according to the spouse - this monitor’s been around since October.   The 23-inch LED backlit monitor is less than 2-inches thick, it’s brighter and it’s a lot lighter and the quality of the picture on the monitor is just great.  Looking at our life insurance rate for this year - we may just be able to afford one this Christmas - assuming the price will come down soon.  Check out the review from Crunch Gear.

I showed the spouse this fake security camera that we could buy for our home that way even if we are on vacation it would look like we are protected and scare away potential intruders.  The camera has a blinking light to show that it is in operation and it MOVES!!  i told him.  In which he laughed and said for $59.99 - I can get a real one to do a real job.   You see security cameras are so cheap now - why waste money on getting a fake one right..??  Oh well - i tried.. i better still with my wrinkle treatment reviews instead.

So the spouse came across a digital photo frame on a yardsale in town - he bid for it and bought it for $30 which is actually a steal - because he used it as a video player to play movie clips for our customers at our store.  We got this idea when we went for the best fat loss supplement seminar and they had the frames sitting there and playing away their video that they made themselves.   It is a pretty neat idea, in fact - our customers are all amused with it .. because they never knew that the phot frames can play movie clips.  So if you are looking for way to impress your girlfriends or even your mother-in-law to be - get her one of this and put in home made videos of the family and the kids for them.

Really..??  using a bounce sheet can keep dust away from your PC ?  Yes  - that was exactly what i was thinking not out loud of course when i read it.  So instead of reading up on  skin id reviews i looked it up to see if it was true.  So is there good news for a cheap and easy fix to keep that dust out of our PC?

So i read if you remove the sides of your case and taped some unfolded dryer sheets over the ventilation holes, it acts like a filter that lets air passes through but traps dust in its tracks.  Plus it makes your office smells good.  Heh! awesome..!

EarPhones For Her

Posted by: techychick  /  Category: Accessories, AmusingéMusing, Cuties, Fanci Stuff, Useful Links/Tips

The spouse would never agree that women should have special ear phones because he thinks that the women don’t spend as much money as the men period.  Unlike acne scar cream which he claimed that the women would spend tons of money on them - no question about it, when it comes to accessories and gadgets, the women folks just don’t know how to appreciate it.

Well, i’m proving him wrong by making sure i buy these pretty looking ear phones for myself because Vestalife brought in a special team just to make this ear phones look like earrings. Each earbud features a different way of popping them in and taking them out. The Bumblebee has a soft cover as well as bee-looking rings which can be pinched for handling. The Scarab has a sculpted pinch-grip. The Boa’s grip is fashioned after a snake, which encircles the earbud. These new earbuds will be available later this year and won “Best of Show” at CES 2010. Pretty neat eh.
