I juts receive some new products for a review: E-Lites electronic cigarettes.

About E-Lites

E-Lites do contain nicotine but they do not contain any Tar, Tobacco, Carbon Monoxide or unnecessary additional chemicals such as Arsenic, Ammonia, Hydrogen Cyanide or Benzine found in a filtered tobacco cigarette. Switching to E-lites E-Cigarettes can save the average smoker up to 75% compared to tobacco cigarettes, making them a healthier smoking alternative.

E-Lites review

Thou I am not a smoker I was curious about how electronic cigarettes work. So I have used the product to see what is the sensation of smoking electronically.

The product is super easy to use. All you have to do is to assemble the cigar which takes 30 seconds. Once you have the electronic cigar ready you can smoke it. It is an interesting sensation to have zero fire but to got real smoke. This is kind of cool.

The smoke resemble more with the one produced by a nargileh (hookah) and has a district flavor. If you are an avid smoker it will take you a while to get used to it because is is the same situation like charging you cigars brand.

The main advantage of E-Lites is: you smoke this cigars as you would a normal cigarette, but feel safe in the knowledge that it contains no tobacco, no tar and no harmful chemicals. The electronic cigar give you real smoking satisfaction but without the harmful or anti-social side effects of a traditional cigarette.

Another advantage is that you can smoke indoors because the  cigar contains no tobacco so you are entirely avoiding ALL smoking restrictions.

Conclusion

E-Lites have an interesting flavor and your are allow to smoke them in the places where you aren’t normally allowed to smoke. A heavy smoker will have to get used with the flavor – this is similar to changing the cigars brand.

If you’re a techno-geek, you probably have a phone that has the capability of doing everything but wash your car windows. And as soon has the waterproof upgrade comes along, you’ll have that app, too! Until then, in no special order, here are some of the most useful apps for cell phones:

For the iPhone:

1: JotNot Scanner Pro for the iPhone: This software replaces the need for a physical scanner peripheral. Load it up, install it, and never fail to send reports, copies or pics again. Just scan it into your smart phone, and email it. Presto Chango! It’s where it needs to go. So if you’re on the move and can’t find a fax or scanner, you’ll still save the day with the JotNot Scanner Pro.

2: Evernote: This free app provides an easy-use back-up to faulty memories or harried users. Grocery lists, errands list, packing lists, appointments, pics—any list or data set you need to track, Evernote can probably handle it. Easy file system keeps your lists organized, so you don’t lose track of your lists! Voice memos eliminate the need of typing a list, making Evernote a highly valuable but completely free phone app that everyone should consider. [This app has an Android version as well.]

3: WiFi Finder: Exactly as titled, this app will help you avoid bandwidth use on those oh-so-limited plans these days. While many smart phones generate a near-field hotspot, why escalate your cell bill? Instead, find someone else’s to use! WiFi Finder will find hotspots for you whether they’re free or a paid service, like an Internet cafe.

4: GoToMyPC: Link with your PC when you’re away from home. Retrieve or send any file, document, pic or other electronic data and know you have full accessibility and storage. Works with a Windows PC or a Mac!

For the Android:

5: The Weather Channel: No matter where you are or where you will be in the country, the Weather Channel app gives the most accurate weather information up to 36 hours into the future. Get forecast information, storm alerts and more—for free! [This app has an iPhone version as well.]

6: Voice Search: Both hands full? Driving and can’t tap or type? No problem with your Voice Search app. You can vocalize instructions and search the web, your phone and contacts list all without risking life and limb—for you or anyone else. This app is fantastic for the visually impaired. Never mistake a Braille symbol or tap the wrong spot: Use your voice instead. Be safe, Android fans.

7: CamScanner: You really didn’t think we’d list a cool app for iPhone and not check for an Android version, would you? CamScanner turns your phone cam into a digital scanner. Take a picture of any document or written platform—whiteboards, signs, receipts, sketches, notes and maps, for instance—and create a .pdf that you can keep in your phone or send off to another person or place. Out of 20,600 users who rated this app, it earned an amazing 4.4 average! Not too shabby at all! Note: Most dissatisfaction was with color capture.

While the list notes only iPhone and Android, most if not all of these apps have different iOS versions available.

After an unfortunate review from Consumer Reports last Spring, Acer/ Gateway, has increased its efforts to provide customers with better customer service.

While the company’s efforts have been noticed, you can still expect to have long call waiting times and an unknowledgeable tech support agent on the other end if you ever have trouble with one of their laptops or computers. So we know that Acer/ Gateway has some of the worst tech support services around, but who has the best in the industry?

1. Apple

There is no doubt that Apple has by far the best Tech Support services in the industry. Their knowledgeable agents, quick call times, and high functional operating systems make their tech support services nearly flawless. While their Apple Care Protection Plan allows you to call in to receive help, it is expensive and the massive amount of information on the company’s website hardly makes it a necessity. Tech Support site users are generally able to find answers to their questions in two minutes, and MacBook users are even able to use the Express Lane which allows the computer’s problem be identified before a tech agent is even reached. There really isn’t much to be desired from Apple’s tech support team. They do a great job every year and consistently remain the best in the industry.

2. Lenovo

While they may not be as quick as Apple, Lenovo certainly does a great job with their tech support. The company’s tech support website now features ad new layout and solid online tools, and there is even a remote log-in feature which allows Lenovo tech support agents to actively help owners solve problems. The Virtual Agent component, however, was the only drawback as it doesn’t always offer direct solutions and sometimes provides no assistance at all.

3. Sony

Sony has also been able to consistently offer good tech support, and the company has made some solid improvements since last year. In addition to having an online menu that will allow you to select your notebook type down to the operating system to find adequate solutions, they also have a feature that allows tech support agents to take over your computer and manually fix whatever problem your laptop or computer. The e-mail support option is one of the best ways to get tech support; however, expect to wait a few hours for it.
