happy I made a best buy

happy I made a best buyDue to coming surgical reports, I was forced to buy a 4GB flash drive last Saturday. The move is based on the fact that wiffy would not allow me to bring my laptop for that time. She said it is too risky to do that. And, I agree to that because other than carrying its weight, I have no safe place to put it after. I still don’t have a locker of my own. Somebody might find it interesting and take it away. To aid that a small flash drive that I can carry around is the key.

Anyway, I was just happy that I made a Best Buy from it. I got a really huge discount as I went to the store that offers significantly low price plus they celebrate their anniversary where they give additional discounts.

Whew! The food that we ate afterwards is more expensive than the device. I hope to get this discount in the future.

Smartbook AG based on an Intel CULV chip

Smartbook AG based on an Intel CULV chipOne of the latest products in the market nowadays is the so-called smartbook, which is generally seen as a device that combines features from both netbooks and smartphones. Users might from all over the world might not know, however, is that Smartbook, or Smartbook AG, is also the name of a German PC maker that plans to launch a non-smartbook Smartbook laptop at CeBIT 2010.

Smartbook AG predates the emergence of the term smartbook and has been fighting to maintain its trademark in Germany. Nevertheless, the rest of mankind seems to have already gotten used to employing the term smartbook for such devices as the HP Airlife 100 or Lenovo’s Skylight, ultramobile PCs running the Android OS or variations of it. In trying to reclaim its rights over this term, Smartbook AG will launch the Smartbook Logo at CeBIT, a CULV laptop running not Android, but Windows 7 Home Premium.

The Smartbook Logo uses, as its CULV status implies, an Intel CULV central processing unit. This CPU is paired with 1GB of RAM and a hard disk drive with a storage capacity of 250GB. In addition, the mobile PC will have an 11.6-inch display with a maximum resolution of 1366 x 768. The entire machine will weigh 1.3kg and will also boast a 3G UMTS modem and a rather decent battery life, namely of eight hours.

expecting lots of graduation invitation

expecting lots of graduation invitationIt’s March once again. I’m expecting to receive lots of graduation announcements from friends and relatives. When I do, I will really go because it is one of the most important events of their life where they want to share with me.

The only problem I have is when some celebrations will happen at the same day and at the same time. For sure I will have to choose one over the other, which will of course hurt the other person. Hopefully that won’t happen.

Anyway, I’ll just wait for those invitation. But, for now I’ll check this new phone software I found. I think it fits perfectly to my old phone.

Titanium enables iPhone 3G signal to pass through

Titanium enables iPhone 3G signal to pass throughAfter realizing that aluminum for the 3G and 3GS iPhones doesn’t allow the 3G signal to pass through it, Apple is now revising the phone to using Titanium.

The first generation iPhone, also referred to as iPhone 2G, doesn’t work on 3G networks, unlike Apple’s newer iPhones, the 3G and 3GS models. However, for 3G signal to pass through the iPhone’s case, Apple was forced to lose the aluminum, and go with a less-interfering material – plastic. Many believe its high time Apple rolled out the next revision to the iPhone. If they’re right, Apple cannot release a third iPhone model that looks exactly like its predecessors (the 2G, 3G and 3GS models). So why not go for titanium, this time around?

Needless to point out, there are a few drawbacks to using Titanium to make the next iPhone’s shell, the biggest of which is costs. Leaving aside that the metal itself is expensive, its hardness would require more powerful machines, perhaps even newer technology, to craft the cases. Currently, Apple is still soft on aluminum (pun intended), using it in almost all of its products, including the upcoming iPad. The company is not showing any signs of “attenuation” to this trend.
