I love all-in-ones. They save space. And they’re great for lazy people who want an integrated panel for everything. Now, Brother’s MFC-6490CW is one of those all-in-one color inkjet printer that delivers color printing, faxing, and scanning into a single impressive device, affording extra large printing as well. At a breathtakingly low $300 price tag you will really pinch the budget  since you no longer need to visit print shoppes should you ever need 11″ x 17″ ledger prints. And this baby’s gone a long way since the weak all-in-ones as well. Each function could be standalone. Just check out those superb high speed scans of text that go beyondjust A4/letter sizes! Oh- and it’s  wireless,  compatible with 802.11b/g networks. You’ll set up home networks with this cool alligator in no time.

The Lazy Gourmet’s Way To Great Eats Wherever!

I love to travel and meet new people. I also enjoy immersing myself in new cultures in strange lands. Little can fire up my passions as much as exploring can- particularly if I’m armed with the best possible digital cameras. After all- it’s with the camera that I capture superb memories for all eternity!

The last PC magazine I read stated that at least 10 to 40 new camera models hit the street every day. Brands from Canon to those as obscure as Hywaei parade in showroom windows with banners  screaming “New!”, “10.1 Megapixels!” , “Hypershot Technology!”. How do you sift through the buzzwords and marketing hype? It’s easy with online reviewers like yours truly, or a dedicated digtal camera review site. Continue Reading »
How To Capture Memories Perfectly

Back in the old days of Age of Empires I, we used to gather around 21 inch CRT monitors and duke it out with lances and arrows. How glorious it was to relish  GeForce4 graphics on monster monitors! That was also the time that early LCD monitors made an appearance. No gamer, however would touch those things. The first LCD monitors were slow and suffered ghosting and artifacts. Games simply didn’t play well back then.

Today, however, is a different story. Big name brands like Samsung, Acer and ViewSonic have released high performace LCDs for gaming. With LCD technology’s latest vivid color engines, amazing aspect ratios and hyperfast speeds, the most rabid gamer could throw the meanest game at his console and still enjoy crystalline quality. I personally tried the latest iterations of Halo and Resident Evil on a Quadcore connected to a Samsung and simply couldn’t get over the photorealism. Top notch! Continue Reading »
Got Game? Go LCD!

You’re pumping to the beat. You’re grooving to the tunes. And you’re even gyrating your hips to the croons of Neo. But where’s the player?

Ah there it is! It’s tha little button on your chest!

Back in the 80’s people loved wearing those  buttons with a pin. Some came with simple smilies, others had rather cute remarks- like “Im with Stupid. But Newman came up with a better idea: the Cool Man Mp3 player.

This neat gadget is as big as those smily buttons and actually hangs from a pin (see how light it is)! It’s disguised such that it resembles the coca cola logo. Controls are in easy locations so you can use it even without staring at its high tech screen. Continue Reading »
Fancy an Invisible Walkman?

You all know aromatherapy. With the use of scents you can feel instantly relaxed- or ragingly libidous. Why wait until the spa to get your dose of of the happies? Now your PC can give you that instant high with USB-powered aromatherapy diffusers! It’s great for those places where carpets smell like soggy dogs or your officemate constantly forgets to brush his teeth after an Indian meal.

I gave this little toy a run and found that the scents last a week. After which you can replenish the canister. I’m hoping someone will come up with a hack for this thing so I can inject my own scents with a syringe. Imagine putting in pheromones into this thing. yeah baby- everyone would feel libidous around me! Continue Reading »
