iPhone Cases That Keep the Appeal of Your iPhone Intact

There are certainly many iPhone cases out there, but many of these iPhone enclosures are similar looking. iPhone cases that are available in large numbers on the market today make it hard to pick one case from the others. An you want to pick a unique iPhone case among all the iPhone bags out there.

Among the different types of iPhone cases you will find for your baby there are bags and enclosures made from leather, fabric and also some rubber and you should see some case that really turn your iPhone into something really special. And to find this special iPhone case you will have to look at each of these cases in detail.

Among the better case makes for such bags include the names of Belkin, Contour Designs and maybe also Power Support whose iPhone cases will generally cost you about thirty dollars. Other makes worth considering when looking for a perfect iPhone case includes NLU Products that has its very own BodyGuardz that is a comprehensive enclosure for your iPhone's body which will prevent it from being scratched.

When looking among many iPhone cases before you make your decision on which to purchase, there are some things you need to keep in mind. One of these things are that better iPhone cases have in common that they do not take the appeal of your iPhone away and these cases can even improve on the iPhone's look through some strategic handling of the plastic that is used in them.

Perhaps, in my opinion, the best iPhone cases that are available today are of the Belkin Acrylic Case type for your iPhone. This company has spent considerable time and effort in mastering the skill necessary to design a great iPhone case and these cases will outline the camera, buttons, ports and also the switches very tightly and it gives the user just the right access to each iPhone part. It also have a belt clip that can be detached and the case can also be used as a stand for viewing videos on your iPhone.

But of course all things have a back side. And when it comes to the Belkin Acrylic Case for your iPhone, there are some issues that might detract from its high appeal and this includes having a greater open face that can put your iPhone at risk of becoming damaged in its case. There is also a notable absence of screen film and I would also like to have a full-face that detracts from this otherwise excellent iPhone case.

Now, you might also want to look at Contour Design cases who has their iSee collection that is another excellent example of iPhone cases. These are quite like the Belkin case in its concept and the iPhone bag is certainly a lot different when it comes to its execution. Among the notable differences you can include thick plastic and also more plastic on the face of your iPhone. You will certainly appreciate the solidity of this iPhone case. There are also a couple of side grips on this iPhone case that have been sculpted so that it becomes much easier to take your iPhone with you wherever you go. This makes it another good choice for your next iPhone case purchase.

The World’s First Hybrid Netbook Is Awesome

When it comes to the word hybrid it’s usually cars that come to mind, but this time it’s a kickass new netbook from MSI. Why it’s a hybrid is because it can operate both conventional HDD and the more modern SSD simultaneously. The U115 Hybrid functions primarily on the SSD for speed, stability and shock-proof, while the HDD can be utilized to stash your gigabytes of videos. More details after the jump.

Cowon S9 review

On paper, Cowon's S9 is distinct from what most would consider its rivals. It packs a curvaceous design, nary a single front panel button, an AMOLED display and a codec support list chock full of formats that audiophiles admire. Clearly, Cowon is aiming to appeal to portable media enthusiasts who are also sticklers for sound quality, with the core functionality consisting of only the basics that one would expect on a PMP. The sector it's diving into already has a pretty strong list of alternatives on the market, which probably means that you're wondering if it really does (or doesn't) stack up. Follow us past the break as we take a closer look at what the S9 brings (and doesn't bring) to the table.

Google Phone

This is pretty big, dear readers. If rumors shall hold true, then HTC is currently hard at work on a handset device. This wouldn’t sound at all interesting except for one small fact: it’s being custom built for none other than Google. Google has been slapping its mobile apps onto phones of all shapes and sizes for a while now, but has yet to drop a self-branded device. Rumors of a true Google phone, however, have been around almost as long as the iPhone rumors….that’s a long time, folks. HTC has apparently hooked up over 20 designs for Google to choose from. The winning handset will sport a custom version of Google Maps with built-in GPS, GMail, and Calender support, as well as Google Talk with VoIP (read: Wi-Fi) capability. All in all, this sounds like a match made in heaven. Expect this to drop sometime during Q1 of next year if things pan out.

Top Three Electric Cars

2. Chevy Volt

The Car is set for production in 2010, the Volt (0 to 60 in 8.5 seconds) will be a four-seat sedan that General Motors hopes to roll out for less than $30,000. It’ll run for 40 miles exclusively on battery power, and then a small 1-liter gasoline-powered motor kicks in to charge those batteries. The car can be pluged in to be charged. GM is now working with various battery technologies, abandoning the old-fashioned nickel-metal-hydride batteries of the past for the current favorite, a T-shaped assembly made with stacked wafers of manganese oxide. Inside will be i pod-like tech, including a touchscreen for your entertainment, navigation and control of the car’s charging.

3. Toyota Plug-in Hybrid

Toyota is planning a follow-up to its popular Prius — this one a plug-in hybrid whose name hasn’t been announced yet. The picture above is not the final design, but this concept, called the Toyota Hybrid-X, could be close to what we’ll see by the time the car takes to the road by 2010. Similar to those batteries in laptop computers using longer-lasting lithium-ion batteries , the car will probably be able to beat the current experimental plug-in Prius’s 62 miles traveled without any help from its on board gasoline engine.

4. Aptera Typ-1
It’s an Aptera Typ-1 Plug-in hybrid, packing battery power and a tiny diesel engine that together have a range of 600 miles. It is said by the company that the first version of its car will be delivered this year, and will be an all-electric car with a 120-mile range. For a $500 deposit, you can get your name on the list, too, but you’ll need to live in Southern California if you want to be a proud owner.

The Singapore Airlines Airbus A380

Singapore made great preparations to welcome the world's biggest plane airbus A380. After it's flight to Singapore and then Changi Airport, it made it's first commercial flight to Sydney on October 25. At an investment of $13 billion, this double-decker aircraft took more than seven years. The plane has been discovered as a highly fuel-efficient aircraft offering silent cabin in all large passenger jets. The entry of the jet is like a golden feather to the existing fleet of Singaporean airlines.
The front side of the plane is equipped with 12 first class luxury groups with each offering elite amenities including a proper bed, a 23-inch flat panel TV, working table, a lounge chair and epicurean food. Out of the 12, two suites are privileged with double bed facility. For the Business Class the upper deck accommodates 60 passengers on unique seats that can be molded into a horizontal bed. Around 399 seats are offered for economy class spread over both decks, assuring even the lowest ticket to the jet would be offered the comfort of leg room and knee room.
Singapore Airlines showed its interest in A380 when it was just a concept in September 2000. The placed order of 10 A380s was increased to 15 and then 19 in July 2006. For this value addition, the order of 19 jets including engines and sundry would cost $5.7 billion. Airbus is prepared to deliver the order of 13 planes to Singapore Airlines, Emirates Airlines and Qantas by 2008, 25 in 2009, and 45 in 2010.

The OLPC Laptop XO-2

The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) plans for a second-generation XO laptop (XO-2), as well as an interim update to the systems. OLPC XO laptops are designed to provide students with low-cost access to technology. OLPC said the target price for the next-generation machines will be $75.

Targeting a price of $75 for the new units, OLPC will be reducing the number of moving parts in the machines and using new display and processor technologies. The machines will also be smaller and will consume just 1 watt of power--one-half to one-fourth of the current XO's power consumption and somewhere between one-twentieth and one-fortieth the power consumption of standard laptops.

In addition, the machines will have enhanced dual-display capabilities with touch-sensitive screens.

The XO-2 is targeted for a 2010 launch.

The 2007 SSC Ultimate Aero

The car weighs in at 2750 lbs, resulting in weight to horsepower ratio of 2.33 — a record for a production car. In addition to being able to go well over 250 mph, the Ultimate Aero can go from 0-60 in 2.78 seconds, cover the quarter mile in 9.9 seconds at 144 mph and circle the skidpad at 1.05 g.

The Ultimate Aero is one of the most extreme vehicles on the road today, achieving incredible performance via its twin turbo V-8 engine. With an incredible 1,183-horsepower and 1094 ft.-lbs. of torque there is simply no other production car that can match the impressive raw power of the Ultimate Aero . Combine supreme power with its lightweight, aerodynamic body and the best handling systems available and SSC has delivered a vehicle that not only eclipses the performance of much more expensive vehicles, the Ultimate Aero is fully capable of owning the title of the World’s Fastest Production Car.

Three Online Backup Services

Online backup service provides you the facility to transmit your important data over the Internet and securely stored on a server in a professional data center instead of being stored on your own CDs, DVDs, or backup tapes. Here are the three top backup services :
1. Mozy
To get started with Mozy, visit their website and sign up for an account. Download and install their software, tell it what files or types of files to backup, and then set it to automatically backup whenever you like. Mozy gives you up to 2 GB of storage on Mozy's servers. MozyHome costs $4.95/month and allows for an unlimited amount of data backup. This service sets Mozy above all others.
2. IDrive-E
Some features that make IDrive-E stand out among the competition include mapped drive support, file sharing, more frequent continuous backup, and support for server operating systems. IDrive-E Basic is completely free and gives you up to 2 GB of storage. IDrive-E Pro costs $4.95/month and they advertise "unlimited backup." However, their Terms of Usage page defines "unlimited" as no more than 150 GB.
3. Carbonite

Tips For Online Shopping Of PC

1. Spring for RAM.If you want a faster more flexible system you will need to have plenty of memory, especially when you run more than one task at a time (say, recording a TV show while watching a DVD). A minimum of 1GB is needed; upping the ante to 2GB will give you the oomph to run several programs at once without slowing your PC down.
2. Buy lots of storage.Hard drives are most needed and a lot of because whatever space you do have, you'll fill.
3. Go dual core.Though you may pay a bit more for a dual-core system (typically a premium of $20 to $50), dual-core CPUs like the Intel Core Duo and the AMD Athlon X2 are faster and more flexible than their single-core cousins.
4. Buy a big LCD.Some vendors bundle cheap PCs with a low-cost CRT monitor, but don't fall into that trap. An LCD monitor causes less eye strain, and takes up less space on your desk. If your system comes bundled with a baseline 15- or 17-inch LCD, try to upgrade to a larger screen. A typical 19-inch display costs $100 more than a 17-inch model.

And one last thing that you buy the PC online from any website like eBay. The best thing would be that you only buy from eBay because it gives the kind of PC that you like but in low cost.

A Way To Earn From Your Web

Some Weeks ago Google introduced a new service called Ad Manager. It gives Web site publishers more control over their ad sales and ad serving. Google's target users are SMBs. It's yet another free service; there are no fees associated with Ad Manager. Google will, however, take a commission on revenue from ads it sells on your site.
Google Ad Manager is a hosted ad management offering that can help you sell, schedule, deliver, and measure all of your directly sold and network-based inventory. It combines your direct sale team's efforts with AdSense and ads placed from other ad networks and parses them through Ad Manager. Than it selects and places the ads with the highest CPMs --cost per thousand impressions -- into open inventory on your site.
Google has convinced a few companies to test it out. Sarah Romer, director of sales and marketing for Washingtonian.com, said, "Google Ad Manager has helped us in two major ways -- it saves us time, and saves us money. Google's easy-to-use system of creating orders, ad placements, and uploading creative has cut my average trafficking time per campaign in half."
