The Macbook

I recently just got a MacBook around last october and I'm in love with it! It's been a couple of months and it is still fast! There's a product summary on it, and that's what I love on CNET! haha The good: New aluminum construction looks good, feels solid; giant touch pad; attractive edge-to-edge glass on display; improved integrated graphics; backlit keyboard on some models; thinner than previous version.
The bad: Still no ExpressCard or SD-card slot; loses FireWire port; all-clicking touch pad is a bit awkward, at least initially; $1,299 now gets you a slower CPU than it did before; no matte-screen option.
The bottom line: Apple's redesigned 13-inch MacBook is essentially a shrunken version of the more expensive 15-inch Pro line. With its new aluminum body, new trackpad, and Nvidia graphics, it's an even more attractive choice for mainstream laptop buyers than was the plastic model it replaces.
Specifications: Environmental & energy standards compliance: EPEAT Gold , EPA Energy Star ; Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (2.4 GHz) ; RAM installed: 2 GB DDR3 SDRAM ;

Sony Vaio JS190J (silver)

Out of all the desktops, I thought this was the one that looked the most futuristic. haha I think that Sony is somewhat of a good brand when you first buy it, but afterwards, overtime the product gets slower (just like any ordinary PC). I guess this was supposed to run like the iMac. I like how this looks though. It doesn't take up a lot of space wherever you put it. Finally, a Windows-based all-in-one computer earns our admiration. We've seen new all-in-one PCs from Hewlett-Packard and Averatec this year, and Apple also refreshed its popular iMac. None of them deliver as much in the way of features and performance as Sony's new, $1,499 Vaio JS190J. A full-size desktop processor helps make the Vaio JS190J faster than comparable standard desktops (as well as the fastest all-in-one), and its combination of a 20-inch LCD and a Blu-ray drive deliver on the promise of the all-in-one desktop as a self-contained secondary home entertainment system. Throw in a refreshing lack of bloatware (yes, from Sony), and it becomes easy for us to recommend the Vaio JS190J to anyone looking for a powerful, midrange PC for work or for playing digital media.
The Vaio JS190J starts at $999, but the Blu-ray drive and other upgrades kick the price of our review unit up to $1,499. We're happy that someone is finally offering a sub-$1,000 all-in-one PC, but we also think our review unit is perhaps the best deal going in all-in-one PCs. You'll find the Vaio JS190 in black, silver, and light pink variants, and the box also includes a wired mouse and keyboard set, but no remote control.

Logitech Harmony One Remote

I'm sure all of you have many remotes in your house just for one room. For instance, your living room may have a TV remote, a satellite remote, a DVD remote, a fan/light remote, and the list goes on! haha Well I found this HIGH TECH remote that is named one of the top ten must haves on CNET. When I read about it, it seemed pretty nice! I enjoyed it. It has a screen and of course many buttons on it. It doesn't look too big in size, probably just how long it is. Width is not a problem! On top of that, the LCD screen is touch screen! Here is was CNET reviewed: For the past year or so, Logitech has been treading a bit of water with its line of well-regarded Harmony remotes. Sure, it made some incremental improvements--and even came out with higher-end tablet touch-screen model, the Harmony 1000. But part of the reason behind the lack of advancement seems to have been that Logitech's designers were focused on developing the product reviewed here, the Harmony One. If you think the moniker's a departure for a company used to putting out remotes with model numbers like 880, 890, and 720, it is. But clearly Logitech thinks so highly of its new remote that it's gone with a single number--as in this is The One, the ultimate universal remote. And so long as you don't mind paying the $250 or so it costs--or its lack of an RF option that would allow you to command components behind walls or doors--the Harmony One is arguably the best consumer remote control currently available.

cameras cameras cameras. basically everyone has a camera these days don't they?? and there so many different types of styles and brands it hard to just pick one you really like. i have a camera and i recently have been using it alot.. just different events have been popping up.. well one day i was in a car with a few of my friends and i took a picture of them and sent it to each of the, ( ohh this was on my camera phone) so i sent the pictures and like a day later one of them had uploaded it on to there myspace... i was looking at it and its crystal clear! seriously looks like i took it with a regular camera.. and i thought wow.. this camera is amazing.! ( i recently got a blackberry) and before my old camera phone as terrible.. didn't even have a flash( it was a sidekick slide). anyways. cameras and camera phones have come a long way haven't they??
especially if you cant even tell the difference between a picture taken with your camera or a picture taken on your phone.

i personally think this is amazing because if you don't have your camera on you.. then you have your phone and if your in an accident and need a clear shot.. these camera phones are soo sophisticated now that its perfectly clear. how convenient is that???
i love technology!

Trendnet Wireless Camera - Retail

My parents has had a survellience camera for awhile. I think it is a good product, but on the other hand it has gotten me in trouble a couple of times when I was younger. My mom could see who drops me off or who is picking up when I'm going out. That's what sucks about it. But other than that, I'm pretty much going to get one myself when I move in my own place. It is a great idea for someone to have when they feel like they aren't safe. I found this cool wireless camera that does the trick.

The TV-IP400W pan/tilt IP camera is a full-featured surveillance system that provides high quality video over a wireless network connection. Built-in CPU and Web Server allow the camera to function as a stand-alone device, allowing users to access the camera anywhere in the world by using a Web browser. Users can also move the camera remotely in almost any direction, scanning sensitive locations for intrusion, and zoom up to 4X. The IP Camera comes with a CMOS sensor to deliver clear and crisp images, and its powerful IPView software gives users enhanced security options, such as archiving streaming video straight to a computer's hard drive. IP View software can also monitor multiple cameras on a single screen, enable motion detection to trigger automatic recording, and send email alert notification. Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11b/g supports Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc Modes, and WEP 64/128-bit Encryption (ASCII & HEX). Supports TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-mail, HTTP and other Internet related protocols, Web Configuration with Password Protection, and operation in mixed browers such as Internet Explorer (5.0 or above) or Netscape Navigator (6.0 or above).

Review: The iPod Nano

I've had the iPhone for awhile before I got rid of it. I never really had an iPod before that (I know I'm old fashioned). I would have really liked one, but never thought it was a necessity. I really need one now though! Maybe sooner or later I coudl get one. This iPod Nano is very sleek and more attractive than the ones before since it comes in different colors. I thought it was very easy to use and I loved the whole thing. The only thing that concerned me was whole thin it was. I was scared that I was going to drop it (like the iPhone).

The good: The fourth-generation iPod Nano is more attractive and colorful than its predecessor and includes Apple's new Genius playlist tool, a tilt sensor, and accessibility features for the visually impaired.
The bad: To use the new Nano, you must upgrade to Apple's iTunes 8 software with its laundry list of hardware requirements; the rounded screen invites glare; sound quality is only average.
The bottom line: The fourth-generation iPod Nano is easy on the eyes and the wallet, and you can't beat its hardware and user interface design. Just be sure to give iTunes 8 a spin before committing.
Specifications: Device type: Digital player ; Flash memory installed: 16 GB ; Digital player supported digital audio standards: WAV , AIFF , Audible , MP3 , AAC , Apple Lossless
