Vacuum Cleaner with Backpack Style

Posted by Louis | Saturday, April 25, 2009 | , | 0 comments »

This is a really cool Vacuum Cleaner by Bac Vac.


Those who have experience in vacuum cleaning the house, should share the same feeling as me. Sometimes the retard vacuum cleaner really gets in the way and do not have any intelligence to make way for me.

They are suppose to make life better for us isn't it?
  

I wonder when will these hit the shelves in Singapore.

Japanese at Work... Guess what the innovative Japs are developing in the area of Personal Computing?



Pens? Personal Computers? Any links between them?

Take a closer look.



Any guess on how these gadgets work?



Pens with web-cam? Micro-phones? Good guess.

Here's how they work:



In the revolution of miniature computers, scientists have made great developments with bluetooth technology....

These are the forthcoming computers we can carry in our pockets.



This 'pen type of instrument' produces both the monitor as well as the keyboard on any flat surface from where you can carry out functions you would normally do on your desktop computer.



Would you like to have these instead of your laptop?

My New Phone - Nokia E71 Review

Posted by Louis | Saturday, September 27, 2008 | | 0 comments »

E71 looks stylish and classy. The build is slim, the stainless steel casing is a beauty and feels good in my hand. Messaging with one or two hands is equally easy.


It comes with a classy leather case but taking the phone out of the case can be quite troublesome.


The controls above the keypad have 3 One-touch keys (Calender, Contacts and Email by default). However, the One-touch keys can be set as shortcuts to any application. Furthermore, I can assign two applications per key, making use of the press (short press) and press-and-hold (long press) function on all of them.

Email is the highlight in the Nokia E71, as it supports a wide range of personal Gmail, Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail.

A PDF reader is also part of the Nokia E71 preinstalled content. Reading documents (such as reports and ebooks) in PDF format while on public transport is a breeze now.

The GPS gives my location quite accurately. It has decent looks and easily customizable route planning algorithm. I can turn the GPS receiver off and simply use the phone as an electronic map.

I can connect to Nokia Maps and the internet via WiFi. This saves quite a lot of money on data charges.

Switching between "Silent" and "General" mode is easy. I just need to press and hold the "#' button.

I must admit that I bought the phone because of its sleek design. However, it seems to offer more than that. I'm not a sucker for new phones and rarely has a phone had me impressed so quickly. Overall, I'm quite happy with this buy.

Are you using E71 too? Do you have any comments on it?

iPhone 3G woes continue

Posted by Louis | Saturday, August 23, 2008 | | 0 comments »

After a long wait, the iPhone 3G is finally here. SingTel has launched arguably the world's most-coveted consumer device.


In U.S.A, iPhone 3G seems to be having connection problems. Apple has released an iPhone software update on Monday to improve communications with the 3G networks. However, some users still experiencing the same drop calls and super slow 3G speed problems.

Although Apple has not publicly responded to user complaints, some sources have claimed the next iPhone update, dubbed 2.1 will provide more 3G fixes.

I'm just wondering will the version released in Singapore have the same problem. Are you having connection problems with the iPhone 3G as well? or is it the network provider's problem?
