WiFi Bags

Would one really need a WiFi Bag to locate where they can get connected and go online when they are traveling to  las vegas or on transit in any airpot…??  Hmmm..  truth be told.. if i were traveling a lot still.. it would be the easiest.. instead of having to whip out the notebook and then to find out the level that i was in . .did not have any .. then i would have to put everything away.. and then go hunting for one.

And if you are on the road a lot, well - this really might be the best investment you’ve made.  The Spanish company called Soyntec has it for sale at $62 and they even warranty the bags for 36 months.  I would check it out if i were you.

How do you feel about refurbished stuff..?  Truth be told before i came to Canada and owned my own store.. i would never buy them.  But i’ve learned after owning our own business that refurbished stuff like the above notebook is not only just as good if not better .. but way cheaper.  At $399 only, this refurbished notebook has an AMD Athlon 64×2 Dual core TK -55.  1.8GHz and 120GB hard drive, with GeForce Go6100 and a DVDR/RW, one can always for  best buy from www.buy.com.

Vista..You Happy ????

We own a computer store.. if you must know.. and there are just too many customers .. so hung on what other ppl said.. and even before trying out Vista on their own.. they already gave it the death sentence… all because of what ONE friend said (the friend is a so-called expert).   YAH RIGHT..!!

I used Vista myself.. and really i think it’s an alright OS.  But i do different things on the net.. and my notebook.. i use it a lot to watch movies.. and also to do my work online.. and its perfect .. for what i am using it for.  But Vista for new games.. is AWESOME..!!!  but old games… then it can SUX..!!!  but hey..!! no one said.. VISTA was perfect right..??  So deal with it..  dudes..!!!

Report shows that 9 outta 10 users loved Vista..  but that’s according to Microsoft research team.  But for those who have never tried Vista..  pleassssssssssssssssssseeeeeeee donch say Vista suxs..!!! because truly it doesn’t.  It was exactly like when XP came out .. and everyone wanted to stick to Win 98 and swear by Win 98 .. but c’mon.. you think the folks at Microsoft spent so much money .. to give you an invalid OS ..??

Dell December Deals Put Small Computer Stores Outta Business

I saw a flyer today .. that came from Dell and with this kinda specials from now till 14 December.. how can they not put our Christmas sale at our store to shame..!!!  Selling this mini for less than $400 CDN .. !!! it’s almost ridiculous not to buy it.  Even though i have a Acer.. i am also thinking of getting one .. for traveling..!!!  Sure the keyboad is small and all.. but when you are traveling .. or shopping with the spouse.. this is what keeps him ok..  that he will continue to wait for you .. while you do your Christmas shopping eh. Wifi ready.. and it’s light and really compact.. not good for long hours of writing.. but good .. if you need to do some emails on the go.  It’s is Vista Home Edition ready..and 4 hrs of battery life.  Offer last only till 14th December..  else our store will go bust.

Mac Owners Can Be Smug Again

A few days ago.. when i saw the alert .. that Mac owners were told to get an anti-virus.. i thought this must be the best news ever .. for the Mac haters out there.. muahahhahaha!!  i bet they were happy that’s for sure.. to see that Mac is not invincible either.

But as of today.. Mac had retracted their advertisement.. on their site.. and the information is no longer there.  So all the boo-ha.. is for nothing.. and now.. Mac Owners can return to their smug ways.. !! and say..  “see who had the last say” .. muahahahaha!! and laughed back at us PC users.

MacBook Has A Problem

Graphic related issues .. i hear was the problem.  Some called it the black screen of death… while the xbox 360 had the ring of death.. muahahah!!! so the copycat or what..??  The screen turns black after a few minutes into gaming. System also locks up.. and user had to reboot.  Those playing Call of Duty 4, World of Warcraft, Ages of Empire III, Command and Conquer, Oblivion, Company of Heroes, and others were known to be affected.

But there is another problem.. besides the black screen of death.. i heard.  This affects some of the Macbooks and MacBook Pros.. and i heard it had a wavy video distortion while one is trying to scroll webpages or watching any HD content.  They think that there is an issue with nVidia’s Mac Drivers.

USB Owl

Perched on your monitor .. this USB owl imported from Japan, the owl blinks his eyes and turns his head side to side .. in a quizzical manner.  Almost like looking and spying around.. if i may so so.  You can just use any USB port available.. and you can even use him on your laptop because there is a clip included for it.  The owl comes in three moods.. active, Mellow or Sleeping.  Makes a nice gift for someone this christmas from ThinkGeek and only $19.99
