Say Good Bye to Germs with the Antimicrobial Keyboard

2009-06-06T07:03:00.000-07:00

Today, we are living in disease-prone world. So, it has become extremely important for us to protect ourselves and our family from deadly diseases. The best way to keep the diseases away is to follow a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle is not just eating nutritional food, but also to live in a clean and germ-free environment. The need for personal hygiene is increasing everyday with the spread of contagious diseases like swine flu. So, it is better to keep things clean both in office and at home. Although, you can clean the floor, wall, table, and chair with water, it is definitely not possible for you to clean electronic devices with water. So, the chances for germs getting multiplied in them are very high.
Have you ever thought of washing your keyboard or mouse with water? It may sound ridiculous. But, this is certainly possible with the invention of the washable keyboard. You may wonder what would be the necessity for a washable keyboard. The answer is very simple. This keyboard will help you protect yourself from bacteria.

Recently, an article by Infection Control Today, August 2007 edition, says that "The keyboards used in the hospital are the main cause of infection. Bacteria have a tendency to live and grow on keyboards for nearly 24 hours and thereby spreading the dreadful infections all around". Do bacteria really proliferate in a keyboard? Yes, it will. In a standard keyboard the bacteria grows underneath and in-between keys. It is not possible for you to clean them with water. To overcome the effect of infectious bacteria developed and spread from keyboards, Tupelo Super Store offers you the Silver Seal Antimicrobial Keyboard.

This washable keyboard is made from Silver Seal antimicrobial plastic, which offers complete resistance against surface bacteria. The Silver Seal Antimicrobial Keyboard prevents the growth and spreading of harmful bacteria. It provides absolute protection against cross-contamination. You can easily clean this computer keyboard with water. The Silver Seal Antimicrobial Keyboard's laser-etched keys will not get faded away by washing. Tupelo Super Store also offers you the Silver Seal Antimicrobial Mouse to complement the keyboard. Not just for hospitals, this washable keyboard and mouse are ideal for schools, labs, and more.

Invisibility Cloaks, Ray Guns and Other Science Fiction Staples Come to Life

2009-05-15T19:59:00.000-07:00

As you read this article, try to consider that at one point in the past, several scientists tested a nuclear bomb not knowing as to whether or not it would ignite the atmosphere and kill all living things on Earth. Now - fortunately for us- that didn't happen, but who's to say that one day we won't flip a switch and find ourselves fighting off a robot takeover or combating telekinetic terrorists - as far as I'm concerned, it's only a matter of time.

Listed below are some of the scariest new inventions that will one day turn on us.
Mind Games

Telekinesis has long been a fantasy of nerdy grade school kids everywhere. The idea that you can manipulate a physical object solely with the power of your mind is an intrinsically awesome concept, and though it may be impossible to affect a physical object with just your brain, a new type of technology has already allowed people to control electronic computers telepathically.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI's) are a new kind of technology that will soon allow you to control video games just using the power of your brain. By attaching electroencephalogram sensors to the scalp, the BCI reads your brain waves and is able to detect patterns and process the information. This means that if you look at a ball on a screen and imagine picking up the ball, the computer will process that action.

However, scientists have already begun to express their concern that this same process can theoretically be reversed to make the computer control you. And if that doesn't sound like an awesome science fiction movie, then I don't know what does.

Caution: Limited Visibility Continuing the trend of sci-fi technologies, a new technology is nearing completion at several major universities that will actually allow you to walk around invisible. Dubbed the "Invisibility Cloak," this amazing invention uses a groundbreaking material called a "metamaterial" which uses its unique physical properties to bend light and reflect it back on the other side of the garment. The end result is an effect that scarily mirrors an actual invisibility cloak, as seen in movies such as Harry Potter.

But don't be too worried about people using it to walk past security and break into banks- as it is, the device seems more like a gimmick than a real invisibility cloak. However, it's a gimmick that's becoming eerily close to being a reality.

Silent but Deadly The Silent Guardian is the newest horrific piece of technology to emerge from our bloated military-industrial complex. This scary device uses rays (yes, as in ray-gun rays) to stimulate our nerve-endings and create the sensation of intense pain. Though the device apparently doesn't cause permanent damage - and can't actually kill a person - it's very effective at what it does.

Hoping to one day be able to use it as a non-lethal way to deter violence, the military has recently started to experiment with mounting these things to the back of jeeps and they've even created a large version of the Silent Guardian that can dish out pain up to half a mile away.

Coming to a civil protest near you.

You're Not Crazy

If you were to be walking down a street and suddenly hear a woman whispering into your ear, your first thought might be "Great - I guess now I'm crazy. This sucks." But you might actually just be the victim of a new technology being used in advertising that projects sound in a narrow beam directly into your skull to simulate the effect of someone whispering into your ear.

Originally created for museums and libraries, this technology has recently made its way to the streets as part of an advertisement for A&E's show Paranormal State. If you're like me, you'll think that the entrance of this technology into the marketing world is pretty disturbing. And when you consider the different types of advertisements that one day may be whispering into your ear, this trend becomes downright terrifying- because if I ever heard Robin Williams whispering an advertisement for Patch Adams 2 directly in my ear, I might just have to kill myself.

Good Doggy

At a distance, the revolutionary new robot Big Dog looks like some strange headless alien creature with inverted legs. But once you see this robot in action, all of that hesitation about its appearance gives way to a sense of horror at how eerily lifelike and animalistic its movements are. The Big Dog is the most advanced quadruped robot on Earth and its legs are modeled after the same principles used in nature for mammals such as donkeys and humans. Created as a sort of next-generation all-terrain-vehicle, the Big Dog can navigate almost any environment where other vehicles would easily fail - this includes loose rocks, tree stumps and icy ground. It can even right itself after being kicked or shoved.

So if you were ever wondering whether or not robots will take over the world - there's no need. After seeing Big Dog in action, it's very clear that yes, one day they will.

When Worlds Collide Most of us will be familiar with the world's largest particle accelerator - the Large Hadron Collider, which was activated for the first time last year. To give you some insight as to why they decided to include the word "Large" in its title, the tunnel that holds the collider is over 17 miles long. Located in Switzerland and engineered by a team of over 10,000 scientists, the Large Hadron Collider is a massive piece of technology that has cost an estimated $3-6 billion dollars. And though particle accelerators have existed in some form since the 1960's, this particular one dwarfs any attempt at atom-smashing in history.

In case you're wondering what a particle accelerator does, the device speeds up atoms to levels approaching the speed of light and then smashes them into each other at such high energies that it could potentially give us a glimpse into other dimensions or even provide insight into the big bang.

So it sounds innocent enough so far, right? Well, that is until you hear about the slight possibility of the particle collisions creating miniature black holes that could potentially gobble our galaxy. And though the chances of this happening are extremely remote, it's not quite impossible.

So there you have it. Though it's inevitable that one day we'll all be destroyed by a creation of our own design, in the meantime you can settle back and enjoy the new generation of brain-wave videogames… and we'll worry about sinister mind-control experiments when the need arises.

Three Types Of Airsoft Pistols

2009-05-15T19:31:00.000-07:00

Many people that enjoy guns and shooting prefer to stick with the less expensive plastic or metal toy pistols. Airsoft pistols are manufactured to provide the operator with the feel and authenticity of a real weapon; with the accuracy and shooting options found on actual pistols. To top it all off these pistols really do look and fire like the real thing, which is always a plus in any gaming situation.

Airsoft pistols come in three types or categories. These include spring, gas and electric. Each type of pistol has its own pros and cons and it is really up to the individual to decide which model type is best suited to their gaming needs. As with any type of product, there is a wide price range within each type.
Spring pistols are the easiest to operate and maintain since they don't rely on either gas or batteries. The mechanism works just like a real gun with a cocking mechanism that causes the BB's to fire. It is literally a cock and shoot option, which means you always have the option to shoot. With gas or electric there is always the possibility of needing to insert a new gas canister or batteries, but definitely not so with spring loaded pistols. These pistols can range in price; however they are all very accurate and very realistic in appearance.

Electric Airsoft pistols operate on batteries, most use 4 AAA batteries that are purchased separately from the gun. There are also options to use rechargeable batteries and Airsoft sells battery recharging units that are compact and easy to use. All electric Airsoft pistols, like those that are spring load, are going to be made of heavyweight plastic that looks and feels just like metal and wood, making for a very realistic weapon both to handle and to see in action. The more expensive models are some of the fastest shooting pistols in use today in the world of gaming.

The higher end of the scale includes the Airsoft pistols that operate on gas canisters. These realistic looking models can be the most expensive; however there are some very accurate and very realistic gas pistols at reasonable prices. These guns often fire the larger sized BBs and are very accurate even at long distances. These guns are powered by pressured gas that comes in a variety of types from standard propane to the deluxe "green gas" cylinders. As always there is additional care required for handling the gas however it is considered very safe as long as the responsible precautions are followed. As with any type of pressurized gas, this is not typically a weapon that is appropriate for children or even young adults unless supervised by an adult.

As with the use of any type of Airsoft pistol, safety gear is always recommended for those using Airsoft pistols and those around Airsoft pistols. This includes items such as eye goggles or safety glasses. Other gear and accessories to include with Airsoft pistols are silencers, flash hiders, holsters and magazines. Gun cases and holders are also a great option to help keep your Airsoft pistols and other gaming weapons looking like new when not in use.

Aliph Jawbone 2 Is The Best Sounding Bluetooth Headset In The World

2009-05-01T04:14:00.000-07:00

Well Aliph has listened because the new Aliph Jawbone 2 has laid those negatives to rest. Not only is it smaller and lighter, the Jawbone 2 also has a simpler ear hook design and a fancy new look that leaves its predecessor in the dust. Superior in design, the Aliph Jawbone 2 has left behind its competitors such as Pama, Parrot and Jabra way behind. Though high priced, Aliph gives value for money products, so people are ready to shell out the money. The new Aliph Jawbone 2 is 50 percent smaller than the original, and steps up the noise elimination with DARPA approved Noise Assassin technology. The new headset also offers improved looks, thanks to its textured exterior and touch sensitive buttons, and lasting battery life, with 4 hours of talk time and up to 8 days of standby service.
If you spend any time on your cell phone and are in the market for a new Bluetooth headset, go buy the Aliph Jawbone 2 right now. It took about one week for the Aliph Jawbone 2 to arrive at my house. Now you can connect the Aliph Jawbone 2 to you mobile phone using Bluetooth and you're ready to talk with style.

The Aliph Jawbone 2 is available now in black for $129.99, though silver and gold versions are coming down the pipeline. Now we have a solution to pair with your favorite smartphone or iPhone, and that is the new Aliph Jawbone 2 Bluetooth Headset. The Aliph Jawbone 2 Bluetooth Headset with Noise Assassin falls out of my ear, makes it all too easy to hang up on a caller when trying to make sure it's boned against your jaw. I've tried every possible combination of ear hooks and earplugs provided with the unit and none fit properly or comfortably. The only problem I've had with it but Its probably me everyone's different.

When the original Jawbone 2 hit the market at the end of 2006 it was the best sounding Bluetooth headset in the world, with noise cancellation that made all our calls clearer and easier to understand. Unfortunately many people couldn't get the bulky unit to fit quite right, even with the myriad ear pieces and loops included. The New Jawbone supports all the functions that you would expect from a Bluetooth headset to support. Since the Jawbone only has two buttons, you will need to memorize the button combinations that you will regularly use. We were hoping to see Bluetooth 2.0 in this version but this at least gives us something to look forward to in the future.

Not only would I would recommend the Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth Headset but I think it should be the first thing you should buy after buying a phone. That being said, it does require that you position the headset in the right manner on your ear while touching your cheek. Fail to position it correctly can cause static or distortion! Jawbone's Noise Assassin is able to achieve this while other headsets cannot.

Alienware Area 51 M7700 | Ultimate gaming machine

2009-03-22T23:52:00.000-07:00

Alienware Area 51 - M7700 - The Dream

Flashback year 2006, everyone in the computer world got stunned as Alienware unveiled their new breed of customizable gaming laptop, the Alienware Area 51. Back then, this gaming laptop was hands down every gamers' dream for a gaming laptop. If not for its steep price back then, everyone would probably work double jobs just to get their hands on this formerly jaw-dropping gaming notebook - including myself.

What more could a gamer ask for in a gaming laptop? What game or 3d application do you think would not be running without a snag on the Alienware Area 51 M7700's 3.8 GHz of hyper threading raw processing power provided by Intel's Pentium 4 processor? Add Nvidia's GeForce 7800 GTX with 256mb of dedicated memory for stunning visuals. Not to mention its 4 GB of PC5300 DDR 2 of ram. And of course, nobody with a right mind would settle for less than 7200 rpm for a hard drive given you already have all the previously mentioned top performing specs. Definitely not I!
Oh well, those were the days when all I could do is daydream on getting my hands on the world's best gaming laptop. Luckily for me, the time for daydreaming is over. Even with our present economic challenges, I have managed well enough to be able to finally get myself the gaming laptop that I deserve.

Dilemma to get Alienware Area 51 - M7700

Ok. Now here is the funny part. I finally got enough cash to splurge on my dream gaming laptop right? So shopping I tried to do. And guess what? Alienware does not sell my dream no more! How ironic. How ironic indeed. I guess my dream will have to remain a dream for a little bit longer - Oh yes! I definitely am not giving up on this baby!

After countless hours trying to get quality information from Alienware's customer support on how I could get my hands on the Alienware Area 51 M7700, I gave up on the Alienware's horrific customer service and I took a step back to assess what options I got left in getting what I have dreamed of.

Then it hit me. EBay! There, I finally found one Alienware Area 51 M7700! Right then and there, I almost purchased it outright specially with it's less than $ 1,000 price tag. Lucky for me I did not let my emotions get the better of me. I checked on the details of the unit being sold by this EBay seller. It does look like it's in excellent condition; I will give the unit that. However, the configured specs are a little low for my taste. And the worst part? No option for a warranty! Oh no! Definitely not going with that one now. Not unless I want to end up going bald for issues that might arise after buying the rig.

The Solution

Just when things seemed too dark, a light shined at service.ztronics.com. They had some of the few Alienware Area 51 M7700 left on the planet. And not just that. There units are configured even better than how I dreamed it should be years back. And the best part? They have a 1 year warranty as an option. Need I say more?

At long last, I'm off gaming with what the critics and gamers alike dubbed as the best gaming laptop for months on end. All thanks to everyone at service.ztronics.com specially their top-notch customer service!

How Long will my Replacement Laptop Battery Last?

2009-03-21T09:17:00.000-07:00

Often asked is how long with a replacement laptop battery last. This is a good question, which has many factors that can alter the results. All rechargeable batteries eventually wear out with time and usage. The more time a battery is used, the lower the performance you can expect from it. Noticeable slowdowns in runtime can be expected after two years of use. If the battery is constantly used, a slow down in runtime can be seen in 18 months. It is advisable to purchase a replacement battery when the runtime does not meet your expectations. It is not uncommon for batteries working at top performance to complete 1000 charge-discharge cycles before becoming unusable. Following the advice below should help you to maximize the lifespan of your replacement laptop battery.
The runtime of a typical laptop battery is determined by the demands made by the laptop computer. If the computer is constantly used or the battery is not properly cooled off it will significantly shorten the batteries life span. Using the monitor at high levels of brightness for excessive periods of time will drain the battery.

Lowering the brightness will increase the batteries life span. Also lowering the screen resolution and color depth will increase the battery life. Changing these settings on your laptop is very easy and can save you significant battery life. Accessing the hard drive and use of other peripherals will also drain your laptop battery. Turning off unused devices on your computer will increase the batteries life. Disabling startup items can help reduce use of virtual memory, ultimately increasing the replacement laptop batteries life. The amount of battery life drained will be different for every end-user, as each person has specific settings and external variables that will affect the laptops battery life. It is suggested to use the laptop as needed and not to over use it.

A good determinant of batter life can be accomplished looking at milliamp-hours. Every battery has two ratings, volts and milliamp-hours. Milliamp-hours are usually expressed by mAh, a description of the expected power capacity of the battery. The higher the mAh ranking, the longer the laptop battery will last. Avoid low mAh's as they will be short lived. Higher mAh rating is indicative of a longer run-time (higher capacity), and will not cause any incompatibilities. When purchasing a replacement laptop battery, the voltage of the original battery should match that of the replacement battery. The only exception to this is if the batteries consist of different chemistries. Ni-MH and Li-ion batteries have different voltage ratings, even if they are for the same exact laptop. Be careful not to confuse yourself with the different chemistries.

All batteries will eventually become obsolete after an extended period of use and abuse. Therefore it is a good idea to have a spare battery incase your battery suddenly dies out or loses its charging strength. Laptop users may chose to use their battery until it completely dies, but it is a better idea to have a replacement laptop battery ready to use when your original battery only runs at 30% of its original runtime when first purchased.

The Sony PRS-700BC Reader Digital Book

2009-03-10T22:56:00.000-07:00

The sony Readers compete with other electronic book devices such as the Amazon Kindle and now the Kindle 2, iRex iLiad, the Jinke Hanlin eReader, and CyBook by Bookeen. One major feature that is noticeably lacking in Sony's latest eBook reader is a wireless connection. The Kindle can download e-books from Amazon over a Sprint EVDO wireless connection or by connecting it to a home computer.

Tips For Extending Laptop Battery Life

2009-02-26T01:55:00.000-08:00

One of the most discussed aspects of owning a laptop and mobile computing, is how to get more operating time from the laptop battery. Everyone needs more time from the battery when they are traveling, or not able to have the laptop plugged into the AC outlet. It seems we always need more time then we get from the battery, and it never fails that we are near the end of a critical task when the screen goes dim.
The first consideration when buying a new laptop, refurbished laptop, or a new replacement battery is to study the manual and the recommendation that the manufacturer has for initially charging and discharging the battery. The conditioning of the battery is important to its ultimate life and also allows the laptop to calibrate its charging status indicators with the battery. The process will vary depending on the battery technology and it is important that it be followed. The following are tips to follow to get more life and operating time from your battery
Reduce LCD Display Brightness

Operate the display at the lowest brightness level that is comfortable for your eyes. The brightness of the LCD screen is one of the main components consuming significant power from the battery. Most laptop and software combination's have control over the display brightness, and this will have more effect on battery time than any other factor. When operating from the AC the brightness can be set at any level you want.

Minimize Optical Drive Use

An optical disk drive spinning with a CD or DVD inside consumes power even if you are not using the drive for programs. When not using the drive remove the media and you will save power.

Turn Off Optional Devices

Using WI FI is a drain on the battery. If you are not using WI FI turn it off and there will be less power consumption since WI FI circuitry even in seek mode consumes power. Remove any unused USB devices. The USB memory stick inserted but not being used is consuming a small amount of power, but when combined with other unused devices increases power consumption.

Select Conservative Power Options

Go to the power options section of your software control panel and select the most conservative or power reducing option available. Select the "Hibernate" option rather than "standby" since hibernate actually shuts the laptop down and saves operating settings.

Increase the Amount of RAM

Increasing the amount of system RAM will reduce the number of hard drive accesses because more of the information is stored in memory instead of the hard drive. The reduction in disk activity decreases the power consumed. In addition to the power savings, increasing RAM is the single most significant step other than a CPU upgrade, that you can take to improve speed and performance of your laptop.

Take Care of the Battery

If you take care of the battery it will provide longer more reliable service. Remove the battery periodically and using a pencil eraser clean the contacts, and using a cloth or cotton swab moistened with rubbing alcohol clean the battery contacts. Don't leave the battery in the direct sunlight or store it where it will be subject to high temperatures. Heat is the enemy of electronic components, and that includes your laptop battery. Depending on the type of battery your laptop uses you should charge and discharge the battery every two weeks. Check the operating manual to be sure of this procedure. You should not completely discharge a LI-ION technology battery since it doesn't have the same "memory" effect as non LI-ION type batteries. Most new laptops use LI-ION batteries but check your manual to be sure of the correct care of the battery after periods of non use.

Following the simple steps outlined will go a long way towards getting more operating time from your laptop battery without hampering your laptop use.

Downloadable Games For PSP: Where Can You Find Them?

2009-02-26T01:22:00.000-08:00

If you haven't got a PSP yet then I suggest you do so as the console offers stunning graphics and many features that no other handheld has yet to offer. If you do have one and are looking for a site to get downloadable games for PSP then look no further because here I will explain the different aspects of these kinds of sites and hopefully assist you in finding a site you can count on.

The first question you'll probably ask when looking for downloadable games for PSP is why I should pay to download when there are many sites who offer these kind of files for free. The answer is quiet simple, those sites aren't actually free. When you use them you take the risk of downloading a virus or spyware and most of them require you to enter your personal information but who knows what they do with it.

The next thing you should be asking is if it's a pay per download site or a one time membership site, I find the best ones have just a one time fee and then allow you to download all you want. Next you'll want to consider the amount of games they have and whether or not they offer other media to download as well. The top sites will have a vast selection of games along with literally hundreds of millions of songs, videos, television shows, and sporting events. One site that I've come across that offers all of the above plus great tech support and their own software is called MP3 On Click and they have one of the largest inventories of music, movies, and games on the Internet. It can be easy and cheap to get downloadable games for PSP, you've just got to find a site that you trust and that offers a competitive membership package.

Robot Toys and the future of Robotic Toys

2009-02-26T00:26:00.000-08:00

There is no doubt that robotics has played a large role in the toy industry from being put into some of the first simple gears and moving parts to advanced robotic toys. The past was riddled with questions on whether or not robots would ultimately become a household instance, but toys with robotic components are available now to answer that question. Robot toys are becoming more advanced with more movable parts, programming and engineering that could easily be used in real world applications and lifelike movement.

The Robosapien series by WowWee brand of products exhibits many of these characteristics of modern robot toys. Robosapiens are bimorphic, multifunctional robots with a full range of dynamic movements. Many of the abilities of the Robosapien are interactive with 67 pre-programmed functions and the ability to be programmed by remote in 4 different modes is an amazing feat in a consumer robot toy for children.
Present robotic toys are very lifelike and differ very much from the views of the beginning of the Western atomic age. Robotic toys respond, receive and execute commands, attempt to communicate and entertain our children. These toys are marvels of robotic toy history as they are affordable and available to most families. This allows for robotic toys such as the Femisapien, by Wowwee, to exist. The Femisapien can communicate and respond to touch, sound and hand gestures. She is given the feminine gender style and is very intelligent. She speaks her own language called "emotish" consisting of gentle sounds and gestures that can tell you what she is thinking at the moment. Even though it has serious engineering involved, there is some play aspects of the Femisapien such as dancing and comedy acts that she can perform when music is playing or when she becomes bored.

The capabilities of modern robotics in toys are exemplified by the amount of entertainment they can provide for children. Obviously, consumer robots are very powerful, but are not designed to carry large work loads and perform very specialized tasks such as industrial robots do. The Tribot by WowWee is a great example of a toy Robot and its modern capabilities. It is very expressive in its facial and body gestures to show programmed emotions. Its three wheeled base allows it to have very accurate turning in any direction. It contains various games and modes to test the abilities of the person controlling its movements. It even contains an alarm function that will cause amusement to all as it is activated and runs around sounding its chimes until it is caught.

The future for toy robotics seems to be endless. There are numerous ways that the robot toys industry can take their ideas. The most common theme is to make them more humanoid and interactive. Another route is to make them more animalistic as pets or companions. This allows even those who are allergic to own a pet which can interact and show intelligence like some of the world's most intelligent species. Making robotic toys with the ability to speak or communicate while understanding and performing complex functions are great suggestions for the near future of robotic toys. Robots toys that you build yourself with products such as the Lego Mindstorm Robotics kits will surely be improved upon.

The possibilities for future robotics will never end, and until the Holy Grail of robotics is reached where life is emulated into complex robot toys, then we have something to look forward to. Robots will always amuse us, keep us company and provide hours upon hours of entertainment. The future of robotics in toys can only be improved upon, and it is only a matter of time before they become friends and companions that we cannot live without.

Pioneer Home Theater System

2009-02-24T21:50:00.000-08:00

While the company name of Pioneer, Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer might be less known here in the United States, their contributions to the electronic entertainment world have shaped and changed the industry forever. Like their name boasts, they truly are a pioneer in the industry, often coming up with new electronic devices before any other brand has a chance. In 1962, Pioneer introduced us to the world's first separate stereo system. In 1975 they gave us the very first component car stereo. They brought the first 2-way addressable Cable TV system in 1977, in '79 and '80 they were one of the forerunners for LaserDisc Players and in 1984 they developed the first machine to play both LaserDiscs AND CDs.
Also in 1984 the world's first ever car CD player was brought about by Pioneer. They produced the world's first CD that is based GPS unit in 1990, the first ever 4X CD-Rom car changer in 1992, the first DVD/CD/LD player in 1996, and the first very DVD based GPS in 1997. They're also the masterminds behind the world's first DVD-R drive, the first OEL-equipped car audio product, the first 50-inch HD plasma screen TV, the first DVD-RW recorder, the first DVD player for professional DJ's and VJ's, and in 2008 they developed a 16-layer BlueRay Disc that can store 400GB. With all these great devices, it's only natural that many people are after Pioneer home theater systems.

Being the leader in DVD, Blue Ray, and HDTV technology, it's no wonder that Pioneer home theater systems are some of the most innovative and powerful home theater systems on the market today. Coming in a variety of colors and wattage, along with Pioneer's highest quality High Definition TVs and 5.1 surround sound speaker system makes Pioneer stand out as a high quality and innovative home theater brand name. And with prices starting in the low $200 price range, Pioneer's home theater equipment is one of the most affordable and consumer friendly systems around.

While Pioneer home theater systems are popular and in demand, they won't be around for a whole lot longer. On February 12, 2009, Pioneer made the public announcement that it will be discontinuing its line of television sets by March of 2010. So if you haven't done so already, you should get your home theater system from the most innovative electronics brand around before your opportunity to do so is gone, and you only have a year or less to do so.

What is the Best Xbox 360 Red Ring Fix?

2009-02-24T21:33:00.000-08:00

In this article you are going to discover what the best Xbox 360 red ring fix is out of having Microsoft repair your console, paying someone else to do the job, or fixing your Xbox 360 yourself. Don't make repairing those pesky red lights on your Xbox console any more difficult than it should be. Keep reading to learn how you can be gaming again as quickly as possible. You can actually be free of the Xbox 360 3 red lights error in under two hours, if you get the right instructions.

Microsoft, wanting to cut down on as much public relations damage as possible from the unfortunate saga of the Xbox 360's problems, will repair your Xbox 360 for free provided it is still within the warranty period. All you have to do is ring Microsoft up, give them details about your console, and then ship your Xbox 360 away. You should then get it returned to you in perfect working order.
The benefit of this Xbox 360 red ring fixing method is that you don't actually have to do any of the hard work yourself- Microsoft does everything and pays for it as well. The negative side is that you will be at least a couple of weeks without a console, whereas other methods can have you gaming again in under 90 minutes. Also, there is no guarantee that your Xbox 360 won't be struck down by the same problem twice.

Another popular way of fixing a broken Xbox 360 is to use a local electronics or gaming repair technician. Search through your local classified magazine, or look on Craigslist in your local area and you will see advertisements offering to fix the red ring of death on your Xbox 360. You simply pay whatever their price is, give them your Xbox 360, and then get it back a couple of days later.

Like getting Microsoft to fix your Xbox, the positive aspect of fixing your console this way is that you don't have to do much yourself. However, what really lets this option down is the fact that it can cost quite a lot of money. You probably aren't going to see much change out of $100, which is ridiculous. Also, you need to be aware of "cowboys" who appear to charge a low fee, but will then pile on extra "costs". In all honestly, I cannot recommend this method.

The final Xbox 360 red ring fix is to repair your console yourself. You will need around 90 minutes of spare time, screwdrivers, an object to press in the case release button (such as a metal toothpick) and an Xbox 360 repair guide. One of these will give you all the video instructions you need to be able to fix your Xbox- step-by-step videos make the process relatively easy. You will need to budget around $30 for a repair guide, which is quite a reasonable price.

So what is the best way to fix the Xbox 360 red ring error on your console?

Repairing your console yourself is probably the best way to do it, as you can be gaming again very quickly, it doesn't cost that much, and with video repair instructions it is quite easy to do. The benefits definitely outweigh the downsides of this method, which is why I recommend it.

As mentioned above, you will need a repair guide to provide you with the necessary video repair instructions. Please click the link to learn about one of the best Xbox360 repair guides. Be gaming again in less than 90 minutes- it really isn't that hard to fix your Xbox360 yourself.

Amazon's Kindle 2 - Is it an Interesting Gadget?

2009-02-24T20:44:00.000-08:00

Every tech savvy would have heard the news about Amazon's Kindle 2.0 release last week. Let's look into what the entire buzz is about as it is released today.

Let's first talk about what is this kindle, in favor of non techies who are the beginners for this niche.

"Amazon Kindle is an e-book reader, an embedded system for reading electronic books (e-books), launched in the United States by prominent online bookseller Amazon.com in November 2007. The Kindle was developed by Amazon's Lab126.It uses an electronic paper display and downloads content over Amazon Whisper net using the Sprint EVDO network. The Kindle can be used without a computer, and Whisper net is accessible without any fee."

Now I believe that we have an idea about what a kindle mean? Now let us know what this kindle 2 is.

The newer version of Kindle 2 is an e-book reader has many improvements over its predecessor. Now let us know about the physical structure of it.

It weighs only 10.2 ounces and fits perfectly in your hands. The ergonomics have been improved with change in page-turn button positioning and a new 5-way controller has been added. This device boasts a 25% longer battery life.

Kindle is completely wireless and ready to use right out of the box and you can charge it with either wall charger or USB cable. It uses Amazon's Whisper net technology plus Sprint's national high-speed (3G) data network to wirelessly search, discover, and download content on the go and you don't have to pay any wireless bills.

Kindle 2 has enhanced library and holds over 1,500 Books, and best of all, a copy of every book you purchased is backed up online at Amazon.com for you to download anytime again if you want to. It also features black-and-white 6″ screen with sharp and natural glare-free display. Has the new Text-to-Speech feature with both male and female voices in case you get lazy to read.

Other improvements include 20% faster page turns, annotations to text bookmark your last place in the book, full image zoom, personal documents storage, The New Oxford American Dictionary look up, wireless access to Wikipedia, web search, along with some experimental features like a basic web browser and MP3 and pod cast player.

As this kindle 2 is releasing on Feb24th, a lot of business is expected to be done on this kindle 2. In what way?

Actually this kindle 2 sells for $400+ in Amazon. Some people who have confirmed shipping resell their Kindle 2s for profit in hopes that Amazon will not be able to satisfy the demand during the launch (as there are much greater expectations on this device).Something like that actually happened with Sony PRS-505 was released. Supply was much lower than demand and for months after the official launch it sold on eBay for double its retail price and the same the kindle2 is also planned.

Above all do you think this gadget is worthful at that price? You could just get a net book... either way, as e-books aren't cheap! The screen is too small and it will sell out due to hype with limited production. No touch screen, no wi-fi, they eliminated the SD card slot. Overall a laptop PC is cheaper and many times more versatile.

But the fact is that excluding the price of this deal, it's actually a great device, you can browse first chapters of tons of books free, get them delivered wirelessly in seconds, and the new kindles seems to have fixed the navigation and style flaws of the old one and has sped up refresh rate. But the device itself is a nice next step. They can't make it color until eInk perfects the color screen and it's affordable enough to mass produce. Saying things like just buy a laptop complete misses the point of its small size and simplicity, it's supposed to replace a book and disappear in your hand like a book does, not an easy task.

Some people don't want to carry around a bunch of books. They don't want the clutter of having a stack of books in their house. This device can store plenty of books and you can access them all at the touch of a button. No need to travel to the bookstore. The battery life on this is touted at days with wireless on and weeks with it turned off.

Now that we have discussed about the pros and cons on this topic, the answer lies within it whether it is an interesting device or not.

The $359 Kindle 2 is available from Amazon at no extra shipping cost.

Cell Phone Stun Guns - Reach Out and Touch Someone

2009-02-23T06:38:00.000-08:00

Cell phone stun guns are one of the best devices for self defense. They do not look like a standard stun gun, have a high voltage, and they are very effective for providing personal protection.

Stun guns were designed to provide personal protection. They are non lethal and they provide self defense for people who may be facing a possible attacker. They are not harmful in any way and cannot kill someone. The biggest problem with stun guns is that people who use them often shove them in their purses or briefcases and when they take it out it is obvious in appearance the person has a stun gun. This can cause an attacker to try to get the device from you and use it against you. Most people carry stun guns in their purse or somewhere it is difficult to get to the device when they need it the most. These are usually cases where the person had the stun gun on them but they never were able to use it for their self defense.

The cell phone stun guns look exactly like real cell phones. They are fantastic because a person can wear the stun gun on their belt with the phone clip attached and it looks completely normal. However, if you should actually go to dial a number on this phone it will be the attacker getting a ton of voltage into their body. They weigh less than a pound and will send about 900,000 volts into the human body. Again, this will not hurt the body permanently but it is enough to disable the assailant physically so that you can get away.

The cell phone stun guns are one of the best options for self defense because they are based on the surprise factor. They can clip on your belt, purse, and you can keep them on the sun visor in your car. They are very easy to use and very effective for protection. Most people have time to grab their cell phones when an attacker approaches but they don't have time to dial 911. You don't have to do anything but pull out the phone and press the button to deliver the volts to the attacker. A criminal will not see it coming but instead think you are trying to call the police.

One thing to keep in mind with stun guns is that you have to physically press the device against the body of the attacker. If the stun gun is not activated long enough they are not always effective if an attacker is under the influence of heavy narcotics or drugs. The body type of the person is always a factor also. The good thing about the cell phone stun gun is that it delivers the largest amounts of volts so it is one of the most effective.

When you use stun guns for self defense an attacker usually knows exactly what one looks like. The appearance may scare off the criminal but if it doesn't he or she may try to get it from you and use it on you. When you use a stun gun that looks like a cell phone or any other device, then this surprises the criminal and allows you to use it more quickly and effectively.

How to Download Mp3 Music For Free

2009-02-23T06:10:00.000-08:00

People are so concerned about the cost of musical media nowadays. It seems that no matter where you go stores are always looking to charge you more and more for your digital downloads while providing you with even less rights for using the media in a manner that you choose. Digital rights management really was designed to protect the rights of artists. However, it ended up hurting consumers in two ways - it limited their ability to access reasonably priced portable media and it sent many a Jane and Joe scampering for illegal downloads.

Pirated music is everywhere in the Internet. It is unencumbered by the same digital rights management that plagues so much of the legal to buy content. What most consumers do not know is that they can download MP3 music for free without having to go through the dubious process of pirating music. You see, not only is pirating music illegal, but it can also land you in quite a bit of financial trouble if you are caught breaking the law. What it is IS a subpoena in the making.

Therefore, it makes no sense to take the piracy route when there are so many ways to download MP3 music for free while at the same time not breaking any laws and in fact supporting the artists that you download from. There are any number of different services that you can choose to use; however there is always a trade-off. If you're getting your music for free chances are you will have to view at least a minimal amount of advertisements to subsidize the cost of the music. This is definitely a worthwhile proposition because you are after all getting the ability to download MP3 music for free with only a minimal amount of time spent looking at sponsor's advertisements. There really is no better trade-off available today, free music for a little bit of commercial time.

2009-02-22T22:58:00.000-08:00

MP3 player and iPod are synonymous for many music lovers. However, there are some manufacturers who are inserting more interesting features in MP3 players. Hence, while choosing an MP3 player, you need to have an extensive research. Online MP3 player reviews help a lot in this regard. They display impartial, unbiased and first-hand information written by fellow users who used the particular brand or MP3 player model earlier.

Like all electronic products, in case of MP3 players, beauty is only skin dipped. Rather you should take specifications to consideration to get best value for your money. The specifications you need to search for before buying your on-go musical gadget are Bluetooth, wi-fi, storage capacity, memory expansion facility, built-in speakers music-sharing option etc.

Bluetooth provides a wireless medium to satiate your quest for music. Bluetooth frees your ears from wires and makes your acquaintance with music more enjoyable. If you want to take music to your living room away from the room where your PC is placed, you can buy an MP3 player that has wi-fi compatibility. It will help to stream media applications like video, images and music from your PC.

No doubt, MP3 players with higher storage and memory expandable slot cost more. But, they have the capability to pile up your favorite tunes in mass without deleting one. If the MP3 player has built-in speaker facility, you can play music both publicly and privately. Music sharing option enables you to inform your friends regarding your quality taste and share your favorites with them. For music video lovers, a large screen MP3 player is definitely a good buy.

While thinking about buying an MP3 player, keep in mind that you are investing your hard earned money and buying an asset for a significant period of time (can you afford to buy an MP3 player on every weekend?). Hence, make proper homework, go through the MP3 player reviews and make a wise decision.

The History of GPS Technology by Mark Etinger

2009-02-22T01:52:00.000-08:00

With GPS devices now in millions of cars, cell phones and purses around the country, it is hard to imagine that only a decade ago, the technology was used almost exclusively by large corporations and the military. But time has moved fast for Global Positioning Systems, which makes sense given that the story of GPS' history begins with a measure of time.

It all starts with TIME

GPS technology exists today because scientists sought a way to measure time more accurately than it had ever been measured before. And so, they developed the Atomic Clock, a super-accurate device that measure the time within a billionth of a second.

But the Atomic Clock was not created in order to keep scientists from being late for dinner. They used the accuracy of the clock to test Einstein's theory of relativity as it pertained to time and space.

Using Atomic Clocks to measure time and space

With these atomic clocks, scientists and engineers discovered that there were slight discrepancies in time around the globe. They began to position the clocks everywhere from Mount Everest to the Gobi Desert and then looked for tiny differences in the time in each of the locations. This information helped confirm Einstein's view of the universe and would soon become a key part of satellite technology.

Sputnik and the creation of a military GPS system

When the Russians launched Sputnik in the 1950's, scientists quickly learned that the satellite could be used to track locations on the ground by beaming a signal up to the satellite - and having a response returned to Earth. How that message traveled determined the location of the satellite relative to a point on the planet.

The US Navy soon began launching satellites of their own, and used them in key military actions to help troops engage in the proper battle locations and assist large ships circumnavigating the globe.

After a time, Navy engineers realized that enough satellites, placed in very specific positions with an orbit around the earth, would create a clear picture of our planet - and that this "picture" could be used map out individual points around the globe with stunning accuracy.

Completion of the System

In 1993, it all came together. The United States Navy launched the 24th of 24 carefully placed satellites into orbit - and the Global Positioning System was born. The satellites are positioned in such a way that now anyone with an inexpensive GPS device can locate their position (or another location) anywhere on the planet. And to think, it all began with Einstein and a group of scientists who wanted to find the ultimate measure of time.

Today GPS devices are a useful tool for many Americans. The technology has become very affordable and helps individuals obtain proper directions to their location while using a minimal amount of gas or time. And if someone had told you twenty years ago that GPS technology would be a "hot Christmas gift", chances are you wouldn't have given them the time of day.

Hands-on: Sanyo VPC-WH1 waterproof camcorder

2009-02-21T23:51:00.000-08:00

The Sanyo VPC-WH1 is a waterproof “Dual Camera” that stood out at the product unveiling today. In fact, in some ways its their higher grade one (Sanyo has one other waterproof cam.) Although we didn’t get to dunk it in a pool of water the capabilities featured in the presentation seemed appropriate for consumers and enthusiasts alike.

First off, this VPC-WH1 shoots 1280×720 HD video at 30fps. That means all your underwater video is going to look very good (compared to what’s out there at this level) on both Vimeo and YouTube–providing you have great lighting to accompany you. The VPC-WH1 does not have a video light of any sort, so that means that some of your images may turn out a bit noisy. In this case, Sanyo’s 3D DNR image noise reduction technology won’t be able to help you because the image becomes softer: meaning that whatever you shoot underwater in theory will look even softer than it already might. Additionally, the 2.5-inch LCD (not very high resolution) might not be able to help you out very well. Once again though, we haven’t tried it yet, but I’d recommend finding good lighting.

However, image quality actually looks quite good for this camcorder. The 30x Optical Zoom works very well and its focusing is satisfactory. It can shoot 2MP photos which is good enough for posting online. Additionally, it captures JPEGs at 13fps. In contrast though, many cameraphones shoot higher resolution photos than this–although their sensors aren’t as large. Nonetheless, you may not want to make 8×10 prints of the shots.

What amazed me was the battery life: a whopping 3hrs and 20 minutes. The new Sanyo Li-ion batteries are what makes this possible. That may mean less charging when you and the family are on vacation.

Additionally, the Dual-Camera is very ergonomic and felt great in my hands. It’s very small, and I’m sure that it could fit into a coat pocket.

The “Face Chaser” technology worked well and focused very sharply on the people around me while I was trying it out. Once again though, I would’ve loved to have tried this underwater with people wearing snorkels and facemasks to give it a real test.

Sanyo chose the interesting color of yellow for this camcorder. Perhaps this is so if users drop the camcorder in water it can be found because of its bright color. However, it comes in blue as well, so my theory may not be accurate.

Unlike other cameras and camcorders of this type, Sanyo warns of use in cold locations or in areas with high temperatures/humidity. However, they also say that it can be used for winter sports like skiing or snowboarding. Potential users may want to keep in mind that there is no 60p video recording on this model; so the 30fps will have to suffice for getting those fast moving objects.

Additionally, this camera can be used without fear in the rain. Overall, it seems like the WH1 Dual-Camera will answer the pleas of many consumers. In fact, I think it will accompany a traveler or tourist very well so long as they are shooting with enough light.

Review: Acer Aspire 6920-6422 Laptop

2009-02-21T00:06:00.000-08:00

Pros: Cosmetic Design and build quality, Fast Processor, Lots of Ram, Blu-Ray, Fast Dedicated Video Card, HDMI Output, Bluetooth, Wireless N

Cons: Speakers are weak compared to the rest of the system, but not bad, Could use a bigger hard drive.

Summary: Hands down, this is the best value in a no compromise full power multi-media laptop. This should replace your old desktop pc, or be your first pc if you don't own one yet.

What can I say about the Acer Aspire 6920-6422? Intel dual core 2.5mhz processor - check, 4gb of ram - check, dedicated nVidia 9500 video card with HDMI - check, Blue-Ray player - check, Bluetooth - check, Wireless N - check. All this packaged in a beautiful shell that you can't take your eyes off of.

This laptop is designed to do everything a PC is supposed to do. The core elements of this laptop should give you years of use for any office application, graphic intensive multimedia applications, with HD movies and gaming in all it's glory. The combination of the dual core 2.5ghz processor, 4gb of ddr2 ram, and super fast nVidia 9500 video card is the perfect combination for the current Windows Vista operating system. It's the only laptop in this price range that puts all these things together in a beautiful and well made shell.

Without getting too technical with speed charts, features, and benchmarks, it's suffice to say that the Intel processor in the Acer Aspire 6920-6422 if one of the best available today. Faster than any other CPU in almost any laptop in any price range. It's going to breeze through Microsoft Office applications like Excel, Word, and Powerpoint. Plenty of power to handle rendering and processing in any graphic application such as found in Adobe CSx suites. It will even power through any processor intensive strategy games giving you fast response times. Trust me, the processor will not be the weak link in your laptop adventures.

The next link in the chain is the memory. With 4gb of DDR2 ram, Windows Vista will have plenty of room to open multiple office applications, surf the web, and check email all at the same time. You'll be able to switch between any of these applications with speed and confidence. For graphic intensive applications, you'll be able to work with large photo files, edit HD video content (like from your camera or camcorder), and seamlessly cut, paste, and undo any kind of multimedia content the typical consumer would ever work with.

The final link in the chain is the video card. The Acer Aspire 6920-6422 comes with the nVidia GeForce 9500M GS. This is the laptop version from it's powerful line of desktop video cards. Most laptops use an integrated intel solution that works fine for office applications and watching movies. However, for graphic intensive applications like from Adobe, and gaming, you really need a powerful dedicated video card. The 9500 GS in this Acer does not disappoint. Again, without getting too technical, you'll be able to watch HD movies using nVidia's highly rated PureVideo HD, and play most games at or near their max quality settings. The other nice thing about the video setup on this laptop is that it comes with an HDMI out port. This will let you hook up your laptop to your 60" HDTV and watch Blu-Ray movies in all their digital high definition glory.

Now lets talk about all the other specs that make up why this is such a great value. I don't put as much emphasis on the hard drive size as I used too. Until solid state drives become the de facto standard, there is very little difference in the laptop community. The hard drive is your standard SATA 250gb 5400rpm 2.5" drive. Nothing particularly special here. But at 250gb, it's large enough not to leave you wanting for any office application and gaming. For you multimedia users who edit large graphic files like raw photos and hd video, you probably already have an external drive for that stuff anyway. If you don't have one, get one. We all know how hard drives can and will fail eventually, so back up your pictures, movies, and projects to an external hard drive right away. Don't leave stuff like that on a laptop that can be dropped, lost, or stolen, right?

Now there are a ton of other features here that I'm going to skim through a bit, but these are the key features that will save you money because they are not normally found on other laptops in this price range. In particular, the built in Blu-Ray drive. You'd pay $200-$400 for one of these separately. Bluetooth built in - you'd pay $20-$40 for this separately. HDMI out - built in and cannot be added separately, so this is really really nice. Digital sound with s/pdif out - you'd pay $60-$100 separately. Then there are the features you find on most laptops in this range such as memory card support, modem for dial up, ethernet, and usb ports. There's also the 16-inch 16:9 ratio display, built-in subwoofer, and touch-sensitive multimedia control panel. Don't let the subwoofer feature fool you. This is still a laptop speaker configuration that sounds better than most laptops, but is still a group of speakers in a thin plastic case. Don't expect to be able to hear this thing clearly in a noisy room, but it does sound great while typing away in your favorite chair.

I really like the blu-ray drive, bluetooth, and hdmi port. You can watch blu-ray movies on your hdtv and chat using your cell phone's bluetooth wireless headset on all the voice messaging services or voip like skype. These are the kind of features usually reserved for desktop users who would buy these things as add ons to their pc (like me). If you really wannabe be cool, buy a bluetooth keyboard and air mouse and use your hdtv as your main monitor. Turn your laptop into a true piece of home theater equipment since it already has the blu-ray drive, hdmi, and s/pdif audio.

The wireless-n is a nice feature. It's main advantage right now is range. Although it's theoretically 6x faster than wireless-g, it will be a long time before the cable/dsl companies will be able to pump out that kind of speed to the consumer. The theoretical 4x the range of wireless-g is where it's at. If you have a wireless-n router at home, then you'll be able to roam around your home without dropping the signal. Also, even though you won't see any difference in internet speeds, wireless-n offers enough speed to stream HD video content smoothly and transfer files between your laptop and desktop much faster as well.

Still, with all these features and power found in the Acer Aspire 6920-6422, I thought of a couple of things that would make this little gem standout just a tad more. For one, a SATA port for external hard drives. Of course you can buy usb external hard drives that offer virtually the same speed, but I prefer using the native SATA interface whenever possible. Most usb drives are really SATA drives with a conversion to usb built in. The only other thing I'd want is the latest dual-band wireless n. It already has wireless n built in, but they have recently come out with a dual band wireless n that can operate on a different frequency. This reduces interference commonly found in homes and offices that have all kinds of wireless devices.

If you're on the fence about deciding between a laptop and a desktop, get this laptop. In the long run, you'll appreciate the portability, space savings, and power savings of this laptop without compromising processing power and features. Plus, you won't need to buy a separate monitor ever, since you probably already have an hdtv which can be used as a monitor.

As of this writing, the Acer Aspire 6920-6422 can be found online for $1,395.99 w/Free Shipping!

Theft Prevention Accessories for PDAs

2009-02-20T03:33:00.000-08:00

Protect Your Investment, Your Data, and Your Privacy With These Theft Prevention Accessories for PDAs

Losing a PDA through theft is one of the biggest challenges owners of personal data devices face. As the prices and capabilities of these units increases, so does the market for stolen PDAs, year after year. Of course, locking the unit up in a drawer and never taking it out is about the only certain way of making sure a PDA is never stolen, but that limits the usefulness. Attaching a heavy chain and a wheel hub may help, but it won't fit in your pocket. Instead of taking these sorts of extreme measures, consider one or more theft prevention accessories for PDAs.

Permanent Markings Scare Away Thieves

If you're a little handy and have a steady hand, you can try the tried-and-true method of etching. Grab your rotary tool and lightly carve an identifier into the back of the case, like a phone number or email address. Doing this will probably void your warranty. Don't try this unless you have a steady hand and neat handwriting.

A less extreme option is a security sticker. A sticker may not seem like much of a deterrent, but what if peeling off that sticker announced that the PDA is stolen? That's the idea behind security sticker theft prevention accessories for PDA units. The self-adhesive sticker is attached to the back of the unit, and gives an 800 number to call and report the PDA. The sticker also advises them that by reporting the unit, they can avoid prosecution.

However, if the sticker is peeled off, the phrase "STOLEN PROPERTY" and the 800 number are left behind in large, very obvious lettering of indelible ink. This type of theft prevention accessories for PDA units stops theft from those who want to snatch the item while you're not looking, and turn around and sell it on the street. Few people, regardless of how dishonest they are, will buy an item that announces it has been stolen.

Tracking the PDA With GPS

The GPS functionality built into many modern PDAs is usually used for convenience for the unit's owner, but with tracking security software, it can also be a way to find a stolen PDA. This form of theft prevention accessories for PDA units consists of software that is installed on the unit and a subscription service. The software installed will be linked to the unit's built-in password protection, and will automatically broadcast an emergency signal after an incorrect password has been entered. The subscription service will then pick up the signal and start tracking the PDA, informing the authorities where to find it.

Common Sense

Probably the best theft prevention accessories for PDA units, however, is our own common sense. Don't leave it lying unattended on a table, even for a moment. If you put it down and look away, someone else will probably pick it up. Don't leave it in plain sight inside a vehicle, even a locked vehicle. Make sure you use the built-in security functions of the unit itself. A password can, at the very least, protect the information on a unit from prying eyes if it is stolen. Think about that if you keep your kids' pictures and contact information for your kids' school on the unit.
