Best Hotels For The Tech Lover

Traveling is perhaps my number 1 past time. I have to have at least two trips in a year to maintain my sanity. Otherwise, work would just burn me out. I am not a particularly fussy person but if there is one thing that would convince me about staying in a hotel or resort, it is the fact that they have free wireless Internet access in the rooms. Perhaps some of you are the same? Well, you will be interested to hear about the list that PC World came up with:  the best hotels for the geek traveler. Read more »

T-Mobile 3G/Wi-Fi USB

I’m a T-Mobile user and I’m really happy that rumors are circulating about T-Mobile’s 3G laptop USB sticks. I think I’d head on to the T-Mobile kiosk tomorrow for a looksie and a confirmation. I’m just a little too tired that it’s AT&T who’s spread out in Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and umm… Subway. Now… I can use the internet everywhere. Oh… rumors have said that this service will be available in a few hours… so watch out for it! Read more »

Meet Rovio

I still couldn’t believe I missed posting about Rovio during the holidays. He has got to be one of the most sensible purchases a geek could have ever made. Most specially if he needed to be two places at one time. I think it’s a good thing too, because if you head on to Radio Shack today Rovio is on sale for roughly around US$130. Not available for online purchase though, but if you show up at many of their shops in the US you’d see that Rovio IS on sale. I’m guessing we’d see Rovio II any time soon. Nonetheless Rovio 1… rocks. Check out the features below: - Read more »

What Geeks I Do On Vacation

Today is the start of my 5-day vacation at the beach. I have been planning on this for months and now that I am actually here, it seems a bit surreal. But you know what? I am having the time of my life. I just realized something though? I seem to be doing things a bit differently from the rest of the people here are doing. Here are some of my observations.

SouthWest Airlines tests WIFI

It looks like geeks have growing options these days because flights are becoming a little tech savvy.  Recently Southwest Airlines has been testing satellite-based WIFI service on one of their flights, aimed at hopefully rolling it out for public use anytime soon.  It will be at beta testing phase for several months after this.  During this phase, and if you’re lucky to be in a plane involved in the beta tests, you get to enjoy the service for free.  Southwest says the service will be at US$10/day when it’s out of beta testing. While this development is much commendable I know a lot of strict WIFI use will be set Read more »

Samsung's wireless printers

Oh no… I hope my uncle’s not reading this today because I’m sure he’d head on over to the nearest Office Depot to get this wireless printer! I’m not too sure what’s he got with printers that he always need to get the latest ones. I’ve been helping him out all week last week to install 2 fax/printer/copy/scanners by Canon. The first one on a wireless printer server via Net Gear and the other one taking an ethernet cable to his Dell True Mobile router. He’s still to ask me to connect 2 laser printers for him next week, now this new printer comes out. I’m very sure once he Read more »
