I would love to go back to school and upgrade myself - inspired by a community group back home, we were chatting about building a new town - or more like revitalizing it, the topic about folks like us - even older than go back to school and upgrade ourselves. I for one am dying to do that and an online university would be the way for me to go. Why ? because we own our own business and my kid is very young and to pursue an online mba fits my lifestyle and it is recognized and highly regarded by most employers. But most importantly I can do my studies wherever I am and not be restricted to be at school in one place and at my own pace. So yes, if i am ever going back to upgrade, it will have to be done with a reputable and accredited program with lots of help when i need.
While everyone can afford a desktop computers because it is a necessity.. one have to think twice before getting a xbox 360. But as of August 28, 2009, you can now afford the xbox 360 elite because of a price reduction of a $100. This was officially announced by Microsoft. At $299 - it is definitely a must by for this Christmas - I am wondering if they had to reduce the price because of the PS3 .. but i prefer the xbox 360 to the PS3 anytime.
The Arcade remains at the same price of $199 and the Pro will be at $249 instead of $299 and while supplies last.. they are not making anymore of the Pro .. so i hear.
Noting that the announced price reduction would lure new buyers, and simplify its product mix for manufacturers, retailers and customers, Dennis said: “It really makes the decision for consumers a lot easier. They’re either price conscious and they gravitate toward the Arcade or they the want the full Xbox 360 experience.”
While Xbox is the second-ranking gaming console in the US, after Nintendo’s $249-priced Wii, the sales of Xbox have been comparatively more robust in 2009 - with a 17 percent rise in the US sales, Xbox has been the only console in positive territory!
My stone sink has to hold since Sony Corp will have a cheaper version of the PS3 console at a ridiculous cut prices a few days ago. The new slim version of the PS3 will be launched in the first week of September, priced at 299 euros in Europe and $299 in the United States. Sony’s Chief Executive Kazuo Hirai said at the Gamescom video game trade show in Cologne, Germany. Normally one can get a new PS3 was $400 … so you do the numbers. This Christmas i bet this is the machine everyone wants for their kids, boyfriends and even husbands.

Studies show that long-term exposure to radiation increases the risk of all forms of cancer, tumors, blood disorders, miscarriage, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, aging of the skin, skin burn, etc.
Radiation exposure over time can cause skin burn, dry wrinkled skin and photo aging. This skin damage is identical to sun damage and causes the same health problems. Many electronic products that we use on a daily basis expose us to harmful radiation.
A television, microwave oven, cellular phone and computer are examples of products that emit radiation. To preserve your health use electronic products carefully, in ways that shield your body from radiation.
Computer radiation is most harmful to skin health because we sit directly in front of the computer for long periods of time with our face absorbing the radiation. Lessening this type of harmful radiation is important.
Ever since the xbox 360 was on sale .. some years ago, I keep hearing about the red ring of death. I’m kinda surprised that there are some ppl who still donch know that xbox or microsoft warranties this by default. Many customers comes in .. and try to sell them to us for parts in which we would advise them to give a call to Microsoft. They pretty much take care of you . .from the time.. they pick up the call.. and pay for the shippinig and all.
But having said all the above.. I’m sure Microsoft wants to see the death of the Red Ring more than anyone else. Can’t imagine them.. liking the fact that they are paying extras.. for all the shipping and sending out new or refurbished machines. Microsoft began sneaking out Xbox 360s with the smaller, cooler 65 namometer “Falcon” CPU chipset inside when they released the Halo 3 special edition console this past holiday. And while they said it is less prone to the same problem, it’s the next revision of the system codenamed “Jasper” that would elimate the problem once and for all. Jasper will be on sale in August.
I’m constantly on the internet and I tell everyone my life is like an open book. Some wonder why i would collate all my info .. on the net and those of my kid as well. But what is there to hide right..?? I even plan on having this Google Me business card ordered soon .. together with my gazebos , so that when i travel during the summer.. i could just flip out this awesome card out to whoever i meet new and old. How’s that for being techy now..?? Oh . .and Happy Mother’s Day from Techy Chick.
SURREY, B.C. - Mounties in Surrey, B.C., say a woman who died in a car accident last month appears to have been killed by her laptop computer.
Heather Storey, 25, was driving to work March 16 when her vehicle was hit by a tow truck. Storey’s laptop was sitting unsecured in her back seat and RCMP spokesman Sgt. Roger Morrow says the vehicle’s abrupt stop sent the computer flying into the back of Storey’s head. The force of the blow was so severe that it shattered the computer’s screen and bent the frame.
The coroner determined that Storey died as a result of blunt force trauma.
Morrow says investigators believe the accident was survivable and that police are warning the public to secure their belongings while driving.
