Samsung joins the e-reader gang
A little late in the game but it’s a good thing, everyone likes options, options, options. Samsung’s upcoming reader, The Papyrus, is creating such a stir in the industry these days as most major gadget/tech blogs have written a lot about it. It has been told that the Papyrus has office applications like the calculator, scheduler, and contacts… it’s a mini-PDA isn’t it? Oh yes it is! It will launch as a touchscreen device too, now that’s awesome. The Papyrus is an A5-size e-ink device (it’s 5.8 inches by 8.3 inches while the entire Kindle 2 measures 5.3 inches by 8 inches with a 6-inch screen). It’s set to finally Read more »
Internet Explorer 8 finally RELEASED!
Well, the wait is finally over. Microsoft has just announced the official version of Internet Explorer 8. I really believe this is something that IE needs, and this is the most “open-sourced” version it has. It has greater security features that help the typical user protect himself from the simplest to complicated vulnerabilities. What surprises me is the “private browsing” option. With a click of a button you can tell IE not to store websites you browse from the history list. This was one of the things I loved about Apple’s Safari browser and I’m glad IE has caught on!

Ugly 'Mobile Phone' USB Flash Drive
If you like your USB thumb drives weird and crazy, this mobile phone USB thumb drive is another _winner_. Best thing about this 2GB drive is probably the metal box it comes in and its cheap price of $9.99. There are no other special specs about this drive other than its ugliness thus making it the latest addition to our Dept. of WTF. Read more »
USB Cup Warmer + USB hub
At first glance you’d probably snicker at the genius behind this, but give it a chance, let the idea sink in. It isn’t “bad” to have warm coffee with you specially when you’re in a tight deadline to the point that your fingers couldn’t leave the keypads. It’s heaven to grab that java after pounding for a good 20-30 minutes to finish a section of code you couldn’t resist *not* to finish. The CVSB-K22 cup/mug warmer has black tone insulation material around the metal heating plate for safety along with a red status light to let you know when the heating plate is active. After warmed, the warmer keeps your Read more »
The Peek Pronto
If you’re the kind of geek who needs to stay connected to email “at all times” then the Peek Pronto is your buddy. It’s an upgrade from the old peek device. Remember The Peek during the pre-Christmas sale. I wasn’t surprised that it didn’t push real well at Target and Walmart. People aren’t too pleased to just having 2 email accounts thru a single Peek device, they wanted more. And so the Peek manufacturers upgraded a few features. Aside from more colors (charcoal black, aqua blue and black cherry), the Peek Pronto has upgraded email account setting from 2 accounts to 5. Read more »

Twitter For Primary School?
This is my kind of news! I just read that primary school pupils in the UK might be learning how to work Twitter and Wikipedia. This is according to UK MSN. The report, published today, says that “former Ofsted chief Sir Jim Rose will present recommendations for revamping the primary curriculum to ministers next month.” The reason for this? Sir Jim Rose says that children should understand the inner workings of information technology by the time they reach secondary school. Aside from Twitter and Wikipedia, he included blogging and podcasting in his list. More than this, however, he is also proposing that some history need not be required as part Read more »
Pocket Guitar Hero Game
Ever since music became a big thing in video games, I got hooked. Let’s just say that I have always been a frustrated musician, and with Guitar Hero and Rock Band giving people like me the chance to play at being a band member, I just couldn’t pass up the chance. Unfortunately for me, our PlayStation 3 broke down in the first few weeks of this year. As you can imagine, I have been yearning to play Guitar Hero for months now. Thanks to this cool little gadget, I just might have an alternative, however poor it might be. Enter the Pocket Guitar Hero Electronic Game. Read more »
