Laura — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 21:55:54 +0000

The recently launched SonicMaster laptop is the new baby from Asus. This laptop is going to be loved by music lovers once it has excellent sound quality.

To make the launch even more exiting, Asus developed a site where we can play around with music, images and messages. There are only a few steps before we can share our message with our friends:

1 – Choose a character and music box
2 – Upload our photo and manage to inserted inside the character
3 – Record a small message
4 – Write a message
5 – Share it with friends.

The final result is a character with our face, dancing and singing a short tune. This can be shared with friends through sites like Facebook or Twitter and through email.

Make your own music box on Asus Sonymaster site and share yours with your friends. It’s quite funny and interesting and they will be happy to have news from you.

Laptops: How good are they

Laura — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 09:23:47 +0000

I know that there are several brands of laptops out there, but I’m happy that almost four years ago I decided to buy a toshiba laptop. I have never had a single problem with it, besides a warned out battery.

I have already thought about buying a new one and give this one to my husband, but I’m so happy with it that I just can’t get rid of it.

Have you been having luck with your laptops?

My Favorite Smartphone Platform

Laura — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 11:34:50 +0000

I’m so happy with my new smartphone. I’m using it for two months now and it is amazing.

I was really having second thought about the operation system I should buy but I followed most reviews and bought the Android. I find the blackberry technology very intelligent but I wanted more options. I checked google and android platform and I definitely decided on the Android. I still want a blackberry, maybe sometime in a near future, but right now I’m happy with the one I have.

My phone brand is “white” that means that it’s a brand from the cell phone company but I find it as good as any other. Quality and price was a mix I was really searching for.

headphone reviews

I’m been having a dilemma lately. I always used compact headphones. They are easy to use, they are comfortable, sound is perfect however I have a little problem. Usually I watch movies on my laptop in bed and turned to the left side, meaning my left ear is against the pillow. This really is kind of uncomfortable because the pillow applies pressure on the headphone and it hurts my ear.

Recently I read some headphone reviews and I realized that earbud headphones would be much more comfortable once they enter in the ear and would not interfere with my pillow. Once I also attend several webinars a month, earbud headphones are much more comfortable as discreet.

So, I bought one and they fit just fine on my ears, the problem is that after a while or when I take them off my ears hurt so badly. I wonder if there are other models that can adjust to my ears because I see people with their iPod and earbud headphones and they don’t fall neither I think people are in pain.

Well, I have to try another type of headphones, I just hope I can find ones that fits my ears and are noise-canceling headphones so I can be able to “sound off” my kids when I’m attending a webinar.

How To Make A USB Mini Fridge

This is what I call “Useful Stuff”. This could be so handy for us here at home.

We have two floor and the game console and computers are upstairs so, when we want something from the fridge we have to go downstairs to the kitchen. Having a small fridge upstairs would be so nice. I came across this video on VideoJug site and it explains how we can make a USB Mini Fridge. Isn’t this awesome??

PS3 – My Son Wants Another Gadget

Laura — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 11:57:10 +0000

PlayStation 3, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 3 are the words I hear more often in my house lately. My son let (not on propose of course) the PlayStation Portable fall on the floor and the screen is broken. To fix it I have to pay almost the same as a new PSP. I don’t know why a screen costs so much once the inside is still working 100%.

So, having the PSP kaput, now my son is always talking about the playstation 3 and how he would like to have one for Christmas.

I’m already sure that he’s not going to have one because, in my opinion, he already has too much for his age. He has a laptop, a PlayStation 2, the broken PSP and a Game Boy. Don’t you think these are enough?

Security System

Laura — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 21:32:46 +0000

Robberies are all over the news and we have to think about the security of our family and house.

When I bought my house I asked for a few quotations and they all seemed quite expensive besides that we had to have part of the house wired to get the system working. Last week I looked again for secure systems because a nearby house was robbed, and I find out that there are available wireless security systems that are wire free. I’m very interested in getting one but the price is still too high for us.

Do you have an security system at home? What type?
