  • A Mobile Printer Stand That Saves You Money

    Posted on March 2nd, 2010 GuestPoster No comments

    There are many types of printer stands out there. What started out as a simple cart that could barely fit one printer has turned into hundreds of variations with many features. They now come in all shapes and sizes and are designed to meet people’s specific needs. While this might be a lot more confusing than it used to be, and it will require more homework than simply walking into a store and asking for ‘the’ printer stand, it’s also beneficial to the consumer. Why use a printer stand that’s too tall? Too short? That doesn’t offer enough room? Isn’t mobile? Doesn’t fit under your desk? You get the point. The list goes on and on. In this article, we’ll focus on only one printer stand. Hopefully, by the end of this brief review, you will know if it’s the right stand for you.

    The Safco Under-Desk Printer/Fax Stand has several selling points, but the biggest selling point is that it can fit a printer and fax machine and still fit under your desk. This type of product is tough to find. The dimensions are 16 x 19 x 13.5 inches and it weighs 17 lbs. Overall, it has a 300 lb. capacity, which is impressive, especially for a stand this size. The bottom shelf has a 100 lb. capacity. There are also two locking dual wheel casters (the other two don’t lock).

    The Safco Under-Desk Printer/Fax Stand has a steel frame and a laminate top. The bottom shelf is made of steel wire and is great for storing paper and accessories. This stand can easily slide under a desk when not in use, which can help save a lot of space. As far as customer feedback goes, 83% were more than satisfied with this product. That’s a reliable number and should help you feel at ease about your purchase.

    The Safco Under-Desk Printer/Fax Stand has a list price of $90. The best deals will be on Amazon, where new stands are selling for $45.09 and used are selling for $37.95. If you’re looking for something mobile and want to save some money, then this is one of the best printer stands for you.

  • How To Find The Perfect Tech Gift

    Posted on January 26th, 2010 GuestPoster No comments

    Gift giving is more than a tradition associated to just a particular occasion. It has even gone beyond following the seasons. For some, gifts have been observed in a manner as simple and as natural as communication. They could be a certain gesture conveying messages from the ordinary “thank you” to an impressive “I love you”.

    No matter what kind of celebration, gifts are always being made or bought with the most consideration to one factor – the receiver. What would be the best thing to give her now? What would be the most practical thing he’ll be able to make use of? Sizes, colors, types and down to the price range – your gifts will always vary according to what you perceive to be the thing that he or she wants, likes, or needs.

    For most women, it would be a good idea to give them something that they like aesthetically and will remind them of the good times and happy memories. It’s not a surprise that scrapbooking has turned into a common hobby. One good suggestion would be the best laptop printer. “Why?” you may ask. It is most suitable, if not the perfect gift, since it gives them the opportunity to print the ones they want right from their laptops. This is assuming that what they want printed is already saved in their laptops. Also, it saves them time from traveling back and forth to printing shops and it is hassle free knowing that they can select the type of style and color of print that they would want in their scrapbook.

    Men are an easy bunch to for selecting gifts for. Just knowing what their hobbies are is enough to make a right choice. It is always an advantage when you plan to buy gifts that are useful. Just make sure that they are into those things though. If giving them a brand new car is out of the question, then a simple combination of sports and gadgets will intensely be appreciated. You can buy him the best sneakers, the best watch, or the best laptop printer and you still can’t go wrong.

    Everything is basically sold online. The internet can help you make the decision, as it is full of items for sale, as well as gift ideas. Although it might be convenient to buy them straight from the website, it would still be a good idea to have a personal touch in the gifts you give. After all, it is said that what you give mostly reflects the kind of gifts that you want for yourself. So by giving such gifts, you also give a part of yourself. So be creative in finding gifts. Millions of options are out there, it is just a matter of selecting and making the right match. You may consider a number of things in giving gifts, budget, color, type, etc. But remember that the most important thing to remember is making the person happy, which is the basically the essence of gift giving!

  • Wii Accessories: Controllers And Add On Accessories

    Posted on November 13th, 2009 whaleadmin No comments

    When it comes to the Nintendo Wii, you maybe confused by all the extra Wii accessories that you can get to enhance your gaming experience.  Which ones do you really need?  There are some accessories that will help to protect your Wii and accessories, there are others that enhance your overall gaming experience, and still others that are more for specific games or types of games.

    One thing to help make things clearer is to explain the difference between controllers and add on accessories.  The standard Wii package comes with two controllers: a Wii Remote and Nunchuk.  You can play with up to four controllers at one time.  So if you want to have head to head play or even have four controllers playing at the same time, you can buy extra Remotes and Nunchuks as add on accessories.  There is also the Classic Controller which can be used if you want to play some of the other classic Nintendo games.

    The controllers combine the look and feel of a remote control with cutting edge motion sensing technology, which is what gives gamers such a fun and realistic active play experience.  The Wii Remote is wireless and operates off of short wave Bluetooth radio.  The controller is sensitive to  both pointing and movement and can measure movements in all directions and speeds.  The Nunchuk is another type of controller that is shaped to fit the game player’s hand and comes with an analog stick as well as two buttons which help with character movements and actions.  The Nunchuk plugs into the Wii Remote.  The Classic Controller is a type of expansion controller.  It allows you to play not only Wii games but traditional Nintendo games, including multi platform and virtual games.

    Other Wii remote accessories that are sometimes mistakenly called controllers are really shells or attachments, or hollow plastic pieces, that attach to a controller  to change the look or grip to a Wii Remote or Nunchuck.  Some of these include things like the Wii zapper, the Wii racing wheels, and a lot of the sport attachments like the tennis racket, baseball bat, and fishing reel.  These add on accessories can add a lot of enjoyment to some of these games and will also help you to perform specific motions better, but it is the controller that really drives the play.  The extra attachments can be purchased separately and there are also game bundles you can buy which includes the game disc plus other accessories you may need to play the game.

  • A New Breed in Cyberspace

    Posted on October 30th, 2009 whaleadmin No comments

    Hackers, credit card hijackers, spies, and techno-nerds lurk in the shadows. They are now vastly outnumbered by a new breed of cyberspace Conquistadors: librarians, teachers, writers, tax accountants, rock musicians, actors, politicians, mommy bloggers, entrepreneurs, families, college students, teenagers, lawyers, diplomats, doctors, graphic artist, and suburban housewives – more or less what you’d expect to find in a crowded mall on a weekend afternoon.

    In the ’70s the Internet was quite different. It was comprised almost exclusively of military personnel, scientists, and engineers, because they were the only ones that had access to the early computers that were being developed by the Department of the Defense.

    In the ’80s a handful of universities and major corporations acquired computers and by the early ’90s desktop computers were being mass marketed and the colonization of cyberspace was underway.

  • The Belkin Cush Top Pink Laptop Stand

    Posted on October 25th, 2009 whaleadmin No comments

    Notebook stands have been around for quite some time, though perhaps none have been quite as well reviewed as the Belkin Cush Top F8N044-BRN Notebook Stand.  In fact, the Belkin stand rates #1 in popularity on Amazon for its product class and for good reason. Used mostly by people that prefer to work with their pink laptop computers on their lap, the Belkin stand is completely padded, yet rigid enough to support the computer and prevent it from tipping over. One thing that always irritates me when using a pillow or blanket to support my pink laptop is how often these things fail to support the computer. These are also very poor at promoting circulation underneath the laptop itself. While the Belkin doesn’t excel at this either, it certainly provides more opportunity for cooling than a blanket or pillow, which both tend to block vents and fan outlets. The great thing about this stand when compared to dedicated electronic cooling pads or stands is that it uses zero electricity, essentially saving you money. It also features a hollow center to store your power adaptor or other small items. The only things its missing is a beverage holder! The Belkin Cush Top stand can be purchased from Amazon for just $19.88 and qualifies for free Super Saver shipping.

  • Get a Free Fax Number

    Posted on October 18th, 2009 whaleadmin No comments

    Free is always good! Getting a fax number is a lot more easier these days if you know where to look and what services to use. The truth about faxing today is that fax machines no longer offer you the best solution, instead many have turned to internet faxing to get more benefits and features while saving more money as well.

    One of the great perks of using internet faxing services is that you get a free internet fax number as well. This fax number works just like any other fax number so you can send and receive faxes from it without any problems or complications. The only difference is that you will be saving a lot more money!

    I’ve been using internet faxing for the past year and it has been a great experience and the best money saver for my business, my phone bill went down, my electricity bill went down and I save money on ink and paper expenses.

  • Laptop Computer Backpack – Convenience Without a Fuss

    Posted on October 10th, 2009 whaleadmin No comments

    I remember having a new laptop for the first time ever. Oh how wonderful it felt at the time. As we can get free wireless internet access almost everywhere, I now cannot leave my home without my laptop. One thing I hate about it is carrying it is such a hassle. I really don’t like the laptop case that they gave for free when I bought the new laptop. It’s not cool enough for my taste. It looks too business-like and I don’t want to look like a yuppie. So a laptop computer backpack is more convenient for me. That’s right, I want to be able to carry it as a backpack. Apart from that, I’ll get all these other pockets that I can store my other gadgets such as my Ipod, MP3 player, PSP and more. Now transporting my laptop is no longer a concern any more.

  • Canon Travel Printer Reviewed

    Posted on October 8th, 2009 whaleadmin No comments

    Anytime you are looking at making a major purchase it is a good idea to read some reviews of the products you are interested in. Finding reviews for products made by major manufacturers like Canon are not difficult. According to Travel Printer Review, the Canon iP100 is one of the smallest and lightest travel printers available. Weighing in at less than four and a half pounds and with 7.2 x 12.7 x 2.4 inch dimensions the printer is a compact but powerful computer accessory.

    Being able to print directly from your cell phone and digital camera are nice features as well as the Bluetooth compatibility that allows you to print wirelessly from your computer. It may not be a speed demon when it comes to printing but 20 pages per minute is not bad.
