Laptop Skins

I’m looking for a skin for my Laptop. Although I have it for a few months now, it still has the original plastic skin that came with it. I like this one:

This skin is called the light and although there are beautiful white skins, for me this one is excellent, because I can carry the Laptop all over the house without worrying about getting a spot in the white skin. With kids around dark colors are the best choice.

It’s like buying a white tonneau cover for a truck that is use for hard and dirty work.

Looking for a Camcorder? Check a real review first.

Posted on March 12th, 2008 in Gadgets,Useful Items,Useful Sites by Laura

I really need a digital camera once I have an old one that still uses 8mm tapes. Yes…too old.

I’ve done a little research online and I come up with a site with several Camcorder reviews that really gave me an idea of what each camera does, its features, advantages and disadvantages.

There are many digital camcorders available and sometimes choosing one is a difficult task. I’ve seen some of the review videos available like the Flip Video Camcorder, Sony MiniDV Camcorder or the Panasonic Digital Mini DV Camcorder and what I really like about these reviews is that they are done my real consumers that give their honest and real opinion no matter it is a good one or a not so good one.

If we are interested in one of the cameras we can compare prices with similar products or we can press the Buy button and proceed to the purchase.

Chinese scroll cellphone design

Posted on February 4th, 2008 in Fun Stuff,Gadgets,Useful Items by Laura

I find this design amazing. This is a cellphone designed by Yun Liang and it is inspired in the Chinese Scrolls. The cellphone is rolled up in a scroll when closed, the numbers remain outside, when you want to access the data you just scroll it out and use it as a normal cellphone. Although a masterpiece in design it can cause a migraine to those that are not very fond of new designs and technologies. But this really is a major piece of art.
