Mini netbooks are growing wild

In these last years, there’s a real tendency towards smaller and more portable netbook computers all around the world. A couple of years ago people gave up desktops for laptops, not they are giving those up for what are now called netbooks.

Bluetooth headset- a much neede phone accessory

Bluetooth headset - a much needed phone accessory

I consider my mobile phone just a normal everyday gadget i have to carry around with me, along with my Mp3 player and sometimes my laptop. I’m not a savvy talker and i don’t even get on the web from the phone that much. But, i do consider one accessory a must: a Bluetooth headset, especially when driving or when i have to use two similar phones in the same time (like when you have an personal and a work phone).

Thus, in the last days I’ve looked for such a device, a standard Bluetooth headset that could satisfy my needs. I’m quite picky and also have some experience with electronic devices (have a couple of IT related sites, i just finished an IT related college and i even used to work as an IT editor a couple of years ago) so I believe i can share an objective view on these gadgets and I can really pick the best of the best. Anyway, I gathered the interesting options i could find online (i always shop online) in a list, with pros and cons. And since I’ve made this list I decided I’d also share it with you, in case anyone needs an advice for buying such a Bluetooth headset in the near future.

And what better way to share the list then a top, ay? :P Continue reading →

The smart way to read books

The smart way to read books

I used to be a fierce reader when i was younger. Things changed now as i don’t have the time to read as much. But I still enjoy books when commuting or when in vacations (especially during summer, when I’m a beach worm: books and beers :) ) ) .

But, there are a couple of problems when trying to read on the road, far away from the comfort of your couch: ordinary books are heavy and big. And also expensive and non ecological (they have to cut down trees for them, you know). These things always bothered me until i discovered there’s a way to go around them: a device called ebook reader.
