Go Gadget Crazy At Akihabara

Posted by Geezer as Cool Stuff, Gadgets

There is nothing like entering a shopping mall solely dedicated to electronics and electrical appliances. Even the smell of the air is different, and you can’t help but feel giddy with all the possibilities in front of you. If this is your idea of heaven, then the best place to go is Akihabara in Tokyo. Also known as “Electric Town,” this area of Tokyo is crammed to the seams with hundreds of shops selling electronic gadgets and electrical appliances. Akihabara has made a reputation for itself, both locally and internationally. Indeed, it is one of the most frequented destinations in Tokyo. More than gadgets, however, Akihabara is ...

The Acer Predator Aspire G Is Flaming HOT

Posted by Geezer as Computers, Desktops, Gaming, Gaming Features

Acer had never been one of my favorite brands of computers but this new release has caught my attention. Their latest gaming computer is dubbed the Acer Predator Aspire G, and it really is something else. At first glance, you might not be that impressed. It really has the same look as the earlier version – all orangey and tough. First impressions do not always mean everything, though, you should know about that. Inside the tough casing, the hardware is the perfect set up for the ultimate gaming machine. These are the specifications, as is published in The Akihabara News: For their flagship model, the ASG7710-A41, ...

Mini Nokia N97 Spotting

Posted by Geezer as Cellphones, Gadgets, Phones

Did you ever think that they would come out with a tiny version of the Nokia N97? Kunal Gangar at Tech Ticker wrote a blog post on the “leak” yesterday and not only did he write about it – he showed pictures! Take a look at that. At this point, the phone seems to be at the prototype stage. It has no proper name yet, but it does have the label “N00.” Taking a close look at the image, it is easy to see that it resembles the Nokia N97 very closely. Obviously, the screen is much smaller as well. More than that, the keypad ...

The iPhone Or The Pre?

Posted by Geezer as 3GSM, Cellphones

Seems to me that the iPhone faces more and better competition as time passes by. In fact, when I heard about the Palm Pre last year (or was it earlier this year) I thought that I might have found something to best the iPhone. When I ran across this comparison by Jon Stokes, I found myself thinking. I do not have the Pre, but I was pretty sure that I wanted one – until I read this about traveling with the Pre: The first thing to note about air travel with the Pre is that airports are very iPhone-friendly places. You don't notice just how many shops and electronics ...

Panasonic’s “Tiger-Resistant” Laptop

Posted by Geezer as Hardware, Hardware and Gadget Features, Mobility, Notebooks

Why would anyone require his laptop to be able to withstand a tiger attack? Well, maybe if you’re some dude on TV who purposely goes after animals in the wild, then you would need something that tough. Anyway, even if you don’t exactly interact with ferocious animals on a regular basis, you might want to check out Panasonic’s Toughbook. Forbes recently ran their own test on this laptop and they had a lot to say about it – most of it praises. These are some of what they did: We used the Panasonic Toughbook to serve Doritos. Then we crushed the chips to dust between the keyboard and the ...

PS3 And Xbox360 Rumors

Posted by Geezer as Games, Gaming, Hardware, Microsoft, PlayStation 3, Sony, XBox 360

They say that Hollywood is the place where rumors are born and thrive. They say that there are no secrets in Hollywood. But if you were to ask me, I would go as far as to say that in the world of consumer technology, rumors are just as rife. Rumors about games, phones, gaming consoles – practically everything that’s hot – are born every day and spread through the Internet like wild fire. Take for example the latest dish on the two arch rivals – the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox360. These two gaming consoles have been the focus of countless rumors ever since their inception. This ...

This is not surprising as legislators have always had these products and activities in their sights. What is really crazy is the fact that in some places, cigarette prices can go as high as $10 per pack! It is no wonder that smokers are looking for alternatives to manufactured cigarettes.

Sandisk Announces 8 GB SD Cards

Posted by Geezer as Security

Digital camera resolutions increase each time manufacturers upgrade their camera lines. And with this, the storage media also have to increase proportionally. Back when I bought my first digital camera, 128MB is already enough for your vacation photos and day to day use. That was during the time when 2 megapixels were the norm. Today, though, even entry level cameras can give you up to 7 megapixel images. And with lots of adjustments like low ISO shooting, superfine quality (low JPEG compression) and the like, you're bound to have larger filesizes per image. While previously, card sizes above 1 GB were limited to the CF and CFII type cards commonly used in digital SLRs, ...
