Getting The Best Deal On A Kindle
Published February 17, 2012 | 
Well I guess I can say I finally gave it and bought a Kindle. I really thought I wasn’t going to, because I tend to be old school when it comes to technology. I thought that I would always prefer to actually have a book or magazine in front of me, where I can literally turn the pages. That is until almost all of my friends got one, and they made me realize that it would probably be a good idea to get one. I’m on the train almost every day, and my commute is about two hours each day. Now sitting on the train doing nothing can seriously get boring, so I used to bring a bunch of magazines or books. Now I’m the type of reader who doesn’t read one book at a time. I like to have a variety when I read, so I ended up bringing four books on the train with me on my commute. This was getting pretty annoying, and I definitely got some stares. I guess it did look a little odd, that I was carrying a bunch of books. Some random lady on the train even tried to sell me her Kindle, because she could see that I really needed one.
Things are much easier on my commute these days, as I’m not lugging around heavy books. I pick up my Kindle (which is very light and easy to carry), and start my morning commute. Looking back, I really don’t know how I commuted for so long without a Kindle. And back to what I was saying about worrying about not liking the fact that I can’t literally turn the page. I honestly forgot about that, and I don’t even think about it. I guess another reason why I thought that I shouldn’t even bother getting a Kindle, is because I thought that getting one would just be too expensive. Then I realized that Frugaldad.com offers amazon kindle coupon codes, which can save you a lot of money. It’s so simple to use the code, and I truly wonder why someone would even buy a Kindle without getting a coupon or discount code.
Frugaldad.com offers many other types of coupons and discount codes, and I have saved a lot of money ever since hearing about the website. I strongly suggest others to check out the website, because you never know what you will be able to save money on today.
Ask Siri
Published January 23, 2012 | Everyone knows that the new iPhone 4s is probably the coolest phone out there right now. There is however one aspect of it that is my absolute favorite,which is the fact that you can talk to Siri. You can literally “ask” her anything, and she will respond. You can easily ask her where the closest restaurant is, and she will respond telling you where to go. Maybe you want to find a taxi to pick you up. Siri knows where the closest ones are, and she will let you know who they are. Siri can even be more reliable than a local when it comes to finding where the closest attractions are.
Reviews Of My New Apple Computer
Published January 23, 2012 | 
I finally gave in and switched to an apple computer. I always thought I was always going to be a Dell person because Apples are more for people who deal with images..but I was wrong. I really didn’t even want to get a new computer, but my old one was way difficult to even do simple things like check my e-mail. It was just way too slow, so I finally decided to get a new one. I decided to switch to Apple and finally give it a chance. I’m so glad i made that choice, and I don’t think I could ever go back. My screen is huge and clear,and I’m even watching movies on it. I love how I can use Facetime to talk to my friends who have Apples, no matter how far away they are.The computer is super fast and what else can you ask for? I don’t think I will ever be able to have any other type of computer. I strongly suggest Apples over any other brand computer.
Should I Buy a Metal Detector?
Published November 23, 2011 | When I was a kid, I thought metal detectors were the coolest things around. Of course I lived in the middle of the suburbs, so there wasn’t much buried treasure. But, I started in my yard, then worked my way over to the park down the street. Needless to say, my bottle cap collection grew substantially and I was able to put a fistful of coins into the piggybank. Today, I would consider getting back into using this technology. I was reviewing the Joan Allen website and saw a long list of metal detectors and thought, “this is cool!” That said, with so many choices, I didn’t know where to start. Luckily they have a most popular section to help me figure out what other people bought – crowd-sourcing at its best. So now I have to decide on 1) whether to invest in one for myself; or 2) if it would make a good Christmas present for one of my nephews. They have an entire range of prices from a few hundred dollars (pounds-sterling) to over $1,000. I’ve already got a great LCD TV, so this might be my next cool toy. I might just test drive one of the cheaper models with my nephew before deciding on a bigger one for myself.
Samsung Galaxy 10.1 4g Wireless – Can’t Connect on Verizon
Published October 17, 2011 | 
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
I recently purchased the 4g version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 at my local Verizon store. There were a few small issues like not being able to watch Netflix on the device (though with the price increases I recently cancelled my Netflix account). However, I have to admit that I am very pleased with my new mobile device. There is one problem: every so often, it loses 4g connectivity (and 3g doesn’t work either when this happens). This just happened again today after using it as a wireless hotspot for a few hours. I tried a hard-reset, turning on and off airplane mode, turning on and off wifi, and many other logical solutions, but to no avail. I Googled for a solution, and found a few links, but none of them provided me with the right solution either, though it was nice to see that I wasn’t the only one with this problem. Then after some tinkering I discovered that you can fix this connectivity problem pretty easily as follows:
- Turn off your Samsung 10.1
- Remove the Sim card
- Turn on your Galaxy Tab – the system will restart and prompt you to shut down.
- Do a full power-down (hold the power button and then “turn off” the tablet)
- Power up – you will get a warning that the Galaxy won’t work without a Verizon Sim card plugged in
- Power down and insert the Sim card
- Power up and your 4g connection should be working again
Remembering Steve Jobs
Published October 14, 2011 | Steve Jobs, the late Apple CEO passed away on October 5, 2011. He was the co-founder, chairman and CEO of Apple Inc. On his death certificate, his occupation was listed as “entrepreneur.”
Jobs changed the world in his position as Apple CEO. In the last 10 years, Apple introduced, under Jobs’ guidance, the iPod, iPhone, and most recently the iPad. In addition to these hand-held devices, Apple has revolutionized the computer industry with their laptop and desktop technologies.
The iPod came into being because Jobs observed a lack of technology in hand-held music devices. Existing devices were either too clunky or too small, and both rendered themselves completely useless to users. The first iPod was released in 2001 and featured enough space for 1,000 songs. More modern versions of the device have 64 GB of available space and can load apps, have HD video recording, and multiple cameras for Face Time.
After the development of the iPod came the revolutionary iPhone. Apple has released five versions of the device thus far and each has been accompanied by an upgrade of the Apple operating system, iOS. The first iPhone was released in June of 2007. The most recent version, the iPhone 4S was released on October 4, 2011. With the dawning of the iPhone came the Apple App Store. For the first time, users could download applications for their smartphones to make accessing certain websites, games and services easier.
Most recently, the iPad and iPad 2 have both created and dominated the market for tablet computers. Jobs, although on a medical leave of absence for much of the iPad frenzy, was able to make it to the iPad 2 launch.
Jobs struggled with a very rare type of Pancreatic Cancer and battled his health for many years before his death in 2011. Although he passed away, he will be forever memorialized as the man who changed the world for this and future generations.
Jobs was known as a successful CEO and a marketing genius. He truly understood Apple’s core message, that “less is more.” In a Stanford Graduation Speech he delivered in June, 2005, Jobs gave now famous advice to graduating seniors that will remain with his legacy; “your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”

Apple To Reveal The New iPhone
Published October 4, 2011 | It won’t be long before Apple reveals its new iPhone,
but it seems that there is a serious question as to how many people prefer the Android over an iPhone. The article raises some good points, but fans of the iPhone certainly shouldn’t start worrying about the demise of Apple. I have no doubt that the new iPhone is going to set the internet world on fire as mobile phone reviews all across the web will feverishly raise to be the first to talk about Apple’s new phone. Moreover, given Apple’s track record I think it is safe to assume that there will be some hot new features to get users re-energized.
The important thing to remember here is that all of this is good news for the world of cellphones. It is no secret that the driving impetus for research and innovation is competition, and at this rate there is a huge impetus for all companies dealing with smartphones to continue to spend all the time and money needed to make them as amazing as possible. So whether you are a fan of the Android operating system or Apple’s operating system, you can look forward to some truly spectacular devices in the foreseeable future.
