Moto Z10: Watchout Cyber-shot phones!
2008-01-10 06:38:00
Frankly, I really wish that Motorola would go get themselves a good cell phone designer. What is it about their mobile phones that it all looks alike? Really, is it something that's actually planned or do their designers just really suck? Take this Moto Z10, it's a slider phone but looks like the Motorola E8 when closed.Now I have nothing against Motorola's mobile phones, they have ALL good features, however, if they want to reclaim their second position in the world market, they have better come up with good cell phone design. Now the Motorola E8 is a good cellphone with good features but do they have to incorporate its design on the Moto Z10 which has cool features as well but frankly, lacks identity due to its copied looks. Well, enough with the Motorola cellphone designers bashing, on to what's actually good about the Moto Z10. The Moto Z10 is actually the first phone I've seen from Motorola that is more mobile phone camera centered. If the Cyber-shot phone is to Sony, the Mot ...

Motorola W270 featured in Motorola CES booth
2008-01-10 06:29:00
Here's another affordable handset that Motorola launched at the 2008 CES, the Motroola W270.Unlike the W230, the Motorola W270 is a clamshell phone, however don't expect the RAZR thin design because unlike the RAZR phone line, the Motorola W270 is a bit on the bulky side. The design actually reminds me of the previous Motorola MPX220 phone but with lots of colors instead of the silver design. If the Motorola W270 is indeed like the MPX220, then you'd like that this clamshell phone has a more solid feel and you can actually here it lock into place when opened.The Motorola W270 only supports dual band GSM technology and like the W230, it has a built-in FM Radio and has a microSD expansion slot. There's no digital camera on this baby, but if you're looking for a solid, music-centered and affordable mobile phone with a bit more stylish flare, then you can find it all here on the Motorola W270.Related Posts:Motorola W230Sony Ericsson W760Sprint HTC Mogul aka PPC-6800 Review ...

Motorola W230: newest affordable handset from Motorola
2008-01-09 09:19:00
I always liked Motorola's low-end handsets. It's because even though they're cheap, they're still feature-packed, which is something I can't say about low-end handsets from Nokia. The Motorola W230 is their latest affordable handset.The Motorola W230 has a candy-bar design and frankly, not really that stylish. The only thing I can say about Motorola's low-end handsets is that even though they have greater features than others, their design sucks. You can change the color of your Motorola W230 since it has interchangeable faceplates.The Motorola W230 also offers a built-in FM radio, something which is lacking even on their RAZR phones, it also has a microSD slot which can support up to 2GB of external memory. If you're looking for a basic phone with mediocre music-playing capabilities, then the Motorola W230 is worth checking out.Pricing for the Motorola W230 has not yet been announced but it is expected to be available during the first quarter of 2008.RELATED POSTS:Motorola ROKR ...

How much did you spend Christmas shopping?
2008-01-09 09:07:00
A word from our sponsors:Okay, so last Christmas, I have just spent more than three month’s salary on Christmas gifts for everyone on my Christmas list. Three month’s salary!!!! Jeez! And because I have no savings, I have to max out my credit limit on all five of my credit cards. I thought I had to take out secured loans in order to pay off my debts but thankfully, my employer was generous and I was able to pay all that off with my Christmas bonus. I know, I know, why would anyone go all the trouble of being in debt in order to buy some silly gifts. I’ve asked that question to myself many times and there are times that I’m tempted to skip the country on Christmas just to avoid giving gifts, however, call a sap and all but I actually enjoy it. I mean, it’s always been a tradition in our family. Anyways, hope next year I won’t go bankrupt. ...

How Grapes May Protect Against Alzheimer's
2008-01-08 06:50:00
A research presented at the Society for Neuroscience conference, an annual gathering of neuroscientists to present their research, says that resveratrol, quercetin, catechins and other phytonutrients found in grapes may protect against the onset of Alzheimer's disease. The study may as well suggest that eating grapes regularly will be beneficial for the long-term health of the brain and for the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.Alzheimer's disease affects 24 million people worldwide and those usually affected are people over the age of 65. Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease and is characterized by the formation of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain.Dr. Nancy Berman of the University of Kansas, School of Medicine is the lead researcher in this finding and she conducted her experiment on aging mice. One group of mice were given a grape-enriched diet while the other controlled group were not given grapes. The results of the experiment showed t ...

How Internet Servers May Learn from HoneyBees
2008-01-08 06:46:00
According to researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Internet servers may use the organization of a swarm of honeybees, like how they managed to collect nectar without a central command and limited resources, to improve the efficiency of their servers.A communications system developed by Georgia Tech was inspired by the bee dance. The communication systems help servers to move between tasks, lessening the chance that a website will be overloaded with requests and potentially shutting down.Internet servers are the ones running the web sites and there are usually a number of servers devoted to one web site. The servers provide the computing power to access the website and requests to access a website is very hard to predict so servers usually overload when a certain web site is accessed by different people at the same time. When a server overloads, the web site shuts down and couldn't be accessed resulting to a loss in traffic or potential customers for that website.Read res ...

How to Play the PSP Slim on Your TV
2008-01-08 06:44:00
When Sony released the PSP Slim or PSP 2000, I thought the only new thing about it is that it's slimmer and that's it, kinda like when Sony introduces a new color for the PSP. However, when I purchased a PSP package from a nearby local store, I got some sort of AV cable and the store seller told me that one of the great added features on the PSP slim is its ability to output video unto your television.I have had my PSP for a month without using its output video capabilities since the main reason I purchased a PSP was for its portability and I already have a PS2 console at home so there was really no need for me to hook it up on my TV. When I loaned my PS2 to my brother, I thought I would try out the PSP's output video feature.The PSP package that I bought includes an AV S-Video composite cable so I thought it was just as easy as plugging in the cable that fits into the different holes and then matching the colors. The AV S-Video composite cable has an S-Video connector, and the stan ...

Securing your Network
2008-01-08 06:42:00
I have to talk about Network Security since the IT department in my office are complete idiots who don't know ANYTHING about securing networks. Whenever I insert my flash drive on my work PC, I have to scan it everyday since I always find about 50 viruses on it.Computer Networks are a group of computers that are interconnected with each other. If you have two computers in your house and you connect them with each other so that they could exchange information, share files or printers, then you have a network. Though securing home networks are just as important, security features on home networks are different from those of a large organization.The most common security features on home networks include user authentication, firewall, and anti-virus. On enterprise networks, there's the addition of intrusion prevention system, encryption of information, and the creation of decoy networks or Honeypots. The additional security features on Enterprise networks is understandable since enterpri ...

How to surf anonymously
2008-01-08 06:25:00
Another word from our sponsors:So, if you've been surfing the net for a few years now, you probably know something about IP address. An IP address is a unique number which identifies you on the internet. Contrary to what some people believe, you're not exactly anonymous when surfing the web. Every time you visit a web site, your IP address is shown and your online transactions can be traced. In fact, I can go to my statcounter right now and see the IP addresses of everyone who has visited my site. If I can do that, "adult sites" can do that as well.You might think, big deal, it's just a bunch of numbers, how can anyone know it's me? Well, anyone can just go to your internet service provider, give them your IP address and obtain every information about you. Or, hackers can gain access to your PC by just using your IP address. So how can you protect yourself? By hiding your IP address and surfing anonymously. Proxy sites can hide IP address, however, there's also the added risk that ...

Motorola ROKR E8 an iPhone killer? Not!
2008-01-08 06:10:00
Okay, at first glance, from the pictures, that is, you might think that the new Motorola ROKR E8 is a touchscreen phone that can rival the iPhone, well, think again. The whole face of the Motorola ROKR E8 is not touchscreen, in fact, the phone only has a 2 inch screen, smaller than the screen on their new Razr2 phones.This is because the Motorola ROKR E8 gives the illusion that it has a touchscreen since it only illuminates the buttons you need depending on what mode you're in. The first photo is the image of the Motorola ROKR E8 in music mode, notice that there's no keypad and you get dedicated music keys. The second image is of the Motorola ROKR E8 in phone mode, notice that there are now the alphanumeric keys you can see on an ordinary mobile phone. The third image is of the Motorola ROKR E8 in photo mode, with only the zoom in and out and camera buttons highlighted.The Motorola ROKR E8 definitely looks like a cool phone and might push Motorola back in the number two position this ...

A word from our sponsors: I know that securing your documents is very important however with the thousands of documents you make each day it’s not unusual that you might forget your password.

So what’s the best solution in case you need MS Excel password recovery or MS Office applications like Word or Access or prevent the above scenarios from happening?

Chris Anderson and his ideas
2008-01-08 05:32:00
If you’ve been researching about site optimization you’ve probably come upon the term “Long Tail Keyword” which is based on Wired Magazine’s editor-in-chief, Chris Anderson’s Long Tail Theory. Basically, the Long Tail theory means that consumers are shifting away from mass marketing hits and embrace niche products in the “tail”. Applied to the Long Tail Keyword, it means that in order to get a good number of hits, one should not focus on the mainstream keywords such as “credit cards” but focus on longer and more specific keywords such as “credit card application” since it has less competition. Well, when 123-reg blog recently interviewed Chris Anderson and he has some things to say about his new book regarding the freemium model. Basically, in a freemium model is the opposite of the traditional sample model wherein you give away 1% of the product as samples and 99% is sold, in the freemium model, you give away 99% of the product and sell 1% of it. Makes sense an ...
