Dancing Nintendogs

Posted on December 29, 2008
By tech blogger in Uncategorized

Ja is a very good Nintendogs trainer. Her dogs can do various kinds of tricks. When they heard the Waltz of the Flowers by Tchaikovsky, they started dancing and performing those tricks on their own. They dance differently each time. This is just a sample of some of those moments. One time they were dancing in unison but we didn’t have the camera ready.

Enjoy!

In the World of Warcraft, there is one hero who stands above all others while also standing below all others. That man is Tinker-Man, a warrior of such legendary greatness that the mere utterance of his name drives fear into the hearts of the Horde and egg-farming Moonkin.

Engineering rocks.

Ensure That your Mobile is Insured!

Posted on December 29, 2008
By tech blogger in Uncategorized

Mobile phone had ceased to be a luxury a long time back and nowadays it is more like a necessity that helps you to keep pace with this rapidly evolving world. With evolving technology and with each passing day newer mobile phones with even more integrated technological advancement are hitting the market.

As more and more features are packed in these pocket sized gizmos their price tags are bound to flaunt bigger amounts. In this scenario mobile phones like so many of our material possessions have become a ‘valuable asset’ that one needs to get insured! Loss by theft is not the only reason for loosing a mobile phone as these sophisticated gadgets are vulnerable to the forces of nature and something as harmless as a mild shower is enough to cripple your dear mobile phone for life.

Mobile phone insurance deals can be availed with either the user’s service provider (network) or any independent insurer who provides insurance cover for mobile phones. But what one should go for solely depends on the availability of the better deal. The two aforementioned deals have different plus points attached and that one has to decide according to their personal choice.

Your network will put the cost of the insurance along with the cost of the contract or the handset and in case everything doesn’t go as planned with the handset then you can always return it. Also few mobile phone retailers offer cheap mobile phone insurance and sometimes waive the amount for initial time period to lure the customers but one should be vary of these deals! One should go ahead and avail it after thoroughly reading the terms and conditions. Frankly this helps! While the independent insurance provider may offer you a wider range of insurance cover options but more often than not you won’t be able to get the perks that you can if you choose the deal offered by the mobile phone retailer judiciously.

It is all about the choice you make that will help you to put your precious (and costly) mobile phone under an insurance cover. One more way is to add your mobile phone to your home contents insurance policy (if you have one), that will surely be a good idea. A fact to note is that any mobile phone insurance can cost between £25 and £100 annually and if you think your handset is worth spending this amount only then the issue of mobile phone insurance comes into picture.

Ipod Doctors Come to your Ipod’s Rescue

Posted on December 29, 2008
By tech blogger in Uncategorized

Your iPod has been your constant companion for years already. But at present, your iPod seemed to have fallen ill and would not work just right. You think it may be something with the iPod docks and cables but you are no expert when it comes to things like this.

Is it now time to purchase a new iPod?

Well, not quite. You see, when there is something ailing, there is a caregiver or a doctor. And for the iPod, there are already doctors that do their stuff to bring back the vigor that these portable media players have got. And Demetrios Leontaris is one of these iPod miracle workers and he has already got quite a number of patients which he had successfully restored back to health. Although there are some which simply would not respond and could not be resuscitated.

Interestingly, Leontaris still has got a photograph of one of those quite unsuccessful iPod operations. The patient was an iPod Nano and it was quite damaged because it fell from the car. According to the iPod doctor, the iPod Nano still was playing its media files however the casing was badly damaged that if attempted to repair it, the device would have broken and it would not play - at all.

Leontaris is not the only iPod doctor in town. There are already quite a few number of these new professionals popping up on the streets but also online. You can use your favorite search engine and find a good iPod doctor. Chances are, you would be having quite a number of choices on whom to call for help.

You see, these iPod doctors came into being as part of the cottage industry which actually works on keeping the iPod gadgets including iPod Mini Accessories healthy and full of spunk after getting sick. But these doctors are saying that such gadgets do take a turn for the worse mostly by mistreatment and not usually because of accidents.

iPodmods.com is one website where you can find information on the iPod doctor Aaron Vronko. And upon speaking with Vronko, he was amused to recall the kinds of fate of iPods that he had seen and had encountered. He says there were some iPods which have been whirling around with the dirty clothes in soapy water in the washing machine. There were also those iPods which have gone through really hard slams when a car door was closed. Another got melted down when it was left much too close to a light bulb that has been on for hours. Vronko also did mention that one of the best that he had seen were those iPods which have become chew toys for those adorable doggies.

According to these iPod doctors, they could stay in business as long as the current trend continues. You see, Apple, the creator of these phenomenal iPods, has got the gadgets under warranty for only a year. However, as part of the clauses of the warranty, they would give the gadget free services, repairs, or replacements if the iPods got damaged if it is quite clear that the cause was not by mistreatment of the player. If the screen is cracked or if it looks like the iPod was dropped, then say goodbye to your warranty. Now if you have kept your iPod safe and secure for a year, which is the period that Apple gives to its iPods, you can extend that coverage for another year but you would have to shell out some cash to do so.

As for the iPod doctors, there is not much that they cannot handle when it comes to healing the ailing iPods. In fact, Leontaris just needs his SUV which he has turned into a workshop on wheels. He drives to his customers’ location and they get a chance to take a look at the iPod doctor’s hand doing wonders on their favorite gadgets.

Secret Gadgets and Strange Gizmos

Posted on December 29, 2008
By tech blogger in Uncategorized

Secret Gadgets and Strange Gizmos
The relationship between war and science — as old as the wheel — entered a whole new realm with the Civil War, the first truly “”technological”" conflict. Secret Gadgets and Strange Gizmos traces this evolving connection from the deadly innovations of the Union and Confederate forces to the top secret, high-tech inventions that are making military history today. Chronicling the hits, the misses, and the important technological advances produced by the U.S. military’s high-tech hubs — aviation, wireless communication, the Internet, atomic energy, satellite technology, and space travel — this richly illustrated book takes readers from the ironclads, land mines, and ship-launched hydrogen balloons of the Civil War to the world-changing bombs of the Atomic Age.
