Eats N Gadgets

I read an article by Jolie O’Dell over at Mashable about Displax marketing this new product called Skin. Skin is a flexible transparent electronic polymer overlay that you can apply to any non-metallic surface.  That means you can stick it on the wall, or even on a plane of glass or acrylic.  It comes in [...]

I posted just this morning how I figured out the DHCP no address issue on the macbook’s Airport adaptor for a new BGN wireless router I bought and installed the day before. Well, as I went about my daily routine, I noticed that the speed of that new “El Cheapo” N router I bought was [...]

I just installed a BGN wireless router to replace my sturdy BG router. I used the standard setting for the router.  My Lenovo laptop connected easily. Great! My problem was that my friend’s macbook couldn’t connect, even if all the passwords, etc. were correct.  Airport actually indicated a connection, but under advanced settings / TCPIP [...]

After around 3 incredibly frustrating months of grappling with this drag-drop problem I encountered with my primary work laptop, it’s finally fixed! Symptom: Drag-Drop a file from one place to another, and I’d lose access to that file. I wouldn’t be able to open, preview, or even delete it. Copy-Paste of the original file would [...]

The desire to be connected to the internet anytime … anywhere … It only takes a trip to a destination that doesn’t have free wi-fi (when you thought it would) to make you cringe.  My cute ‘lil Acer Aspire One netbook has wonderful boot-up time, is incredibly portable, and has decent battery life.  The problem [...]

After many years of waiting, the iPad actually may be the answer to a nagging want of mine.

So, here I was just a minute ago, reading my online newspaper, when a collage of photos spashed across the breaking news section and caught my eye… What was that?  This is what I saw… Interesting, yeah?!  So, that got me to go straight to the Gizmodo site to check out the details direct from [...]

I’ve been searching and searching for a portable scanner for ages!  None available in the Philippines … until NOW!  Every now and then I go to CD-R King over at Greenbelt 1 just to see what new items they have for sale.  Prior to yesterday’s trip, all they had were the 4×6 photo scanners that [...]

Alright, with all the hoopla about Apple’s new iPad, I thought I’d throw in my two cents on this new product. Let me say that this gadget is just plain beautiful.  It’s slim, has Apple’s beautiful screen and interface.  It’s very user-friendly.  But, basically, I think Apple could have waited and just put out a [...]

I’ve been wanting to triple boot my AAO.  It came with XP Home ULCPC installed on it.  I was successfully able to get Ubuntu’s UNR 9.04 on there as a dual boot and was using that for a while. Then, when I tried to install Kaly 10.5.2, I hit an error on the install and [...]
