IPAD indeed! So what’s in it? Lets take a look at this very often talked about magical gadget.

Apple iPad is a brilliant hybrid of iTouch, iPhone and a laptop notebook. The beauty of this magical gadget is that it is exactly a mix between a multimedia mobile phone and a laptop. You can use it to browse websites, watch online videos, access iTunes, store your photographs, listen to songs, watch movies, download games and apps, play games, and much more. And because it’s not as small as a mobile phone and not as big like a laptop, yet still slim and light weighed, it becomes very functional. It comes packed with key features like Safari, internet, photos, mail, youtube, videos, App store, iTunes, iBooks, notes, maps, contacts, calendar, search and lots more. It also comes with a VGA-style video output adapter, which is primarily designed to support video projectors, allowing users to present Keynote presentations straight from the device as many other mobile devices, netbooks and mainstream laptops also use QVGA camera for photo and video outputs.

In addition to all that it comes with a high resolution backlit display which is remarkably crisp and vivid. The surface of this multi-touch screen technology has been thoroughly reengineered making it extremely responsive and precise. It also incredibly runs almost 140,000 apps.

Motorcycle stuff

I know a lot of bickers who love their motorcycle gadgets and gear so I have made this little post to show you that even the safety motorcycle doesn’t have to be boring.

There are 3 famous brands and you will see some of the best products which are available right now.

The first major brand is joe rocket. My top favorite product of this brand is the Joe Rocket Rocket 101 Stain Mc-62.

It looks super and it will keep you safe as well.

You see? The motorcycle safety gear should not be boring. You can be safe and look great in the same time.

The second big brand is called Fieldsheer, My favorite product is the Fieldsheer Mens Thunder 2-Piece Rainsuit. It is 100% waterproof polyurethane coated polyester shell and it will keep you warm and dry when you are riding your bike.

Fieldsheer Mens Thunder 2-Piece Rainsuit is also a fashion item and the suit uses Phoslite which means reflective piping for increased nighttime visibility.

The last but not least is Cortech. Cortech makes some simple bike gloves which can match any suit.

The best in my opinion are the Cortech Scarab Winter Gloves Flat Black. They use Aniline drum-dyed cowhide leather construction with a HiPora waterproof and breathable barrier to keep you warm and dry.

The aspect of these gloves is classic so you wont have any problems wearing them on different outfits.

Ink cartridges and the eco friendly attitude

For some months I have been trying to go green and become more eco friendly. The way we use our humble home printer can reduce the amount of waste we generate.

image thumb Ink cartridges and the eco friendly attitude

Becoming a little more eco-friendly is not hard; it is a process which takes several steps:

  • Be eco aware. Learn about how you can contribute to help the environment
  • Make small changes. Instead of buying poor quality products and throw them after a while try to get good quality ones and keep them for as long as possible.

For example if you have a Canon printer buy only genuine canon ink cartridges because they are of a better quality and last longer. Also genuine cartridges are made by the same company who made the printer and are 100% compatible with the printer. This is very important for the environment and your pocket because using the wrong cartridges can damage the printer head and you will be forced to get a new printer.

A good tip for increasing the printer and cartridges’ lives – especially colour ink cartridges which are used less often; from time to time print a page with a few line of text using the black, red, yellow and blue. This will prevent the ink from drying and you will be able to use the cartridges for a longer periodof time

With empty cartridges you have 3 options:

  • You can refill them. Be aware because most manufacturers do not recommend refilling the cartridges
  • You can donate them. Look for a eco centre which collects cartridges close to you
  • You can recycle them

I usually donate my cartridges as it raises money for a good cause..

One final tip if you are buying a new printer: Look for the most eco friendly ones. The less power-hungry a printer is, the better.
