Bluetooth Headsets: To Wear Or Not To Wear?

A friend of mine on Plurk asked,

Do You Buy Refurbished And/Or Used Gadgets?

Well first things first, let’s differentiate between refurbished gadgets and used gadgets.

How Often Do You Clean Your Gadgets?

I kind of noticed that every Tuesday (that’s maintenance day for World Of Warcraft, hehehe), I clean my MacBook Pro.
I take it out from it’s Speck Case and wipe the body with round cotton sheets wetted (is there such a word?!) with 30% alcohol mixed with 70% water solution. Then I use Q-tips dipped in […]

Do You Resell Your Gadgets?

How long do you keep your gadgets before you buy a new one?
My old laptop which was a Toshiba lived for around 4 years with me. Now it’s only gathering dust in my attic. What a waste!
Lately, I’ve been thinking whether to sell my laptop when it turns a year old. For one thing, the […]

Must-Bring Gadgets For A Beach Trip!

At Boracay!
Photography by yours truly.
It’s the summer time here in the Philippines and sadly, I haven’t been to a single beach trip! *sigh*
As much as I love being out of town, going away from the hustle and bustle of city life, I will probably die if I go somewhere where technology remotely exists. Seriously.

Sharpies + CD = CD Death?

I found this really great article on GeekSugar.
Geek Tip: Don’t Write on CDs with Sharpies.
Apparently according to GeekSugar, the chemicals in Sharpies can damage your discs which make them unreadable in the long run.
Well, I’ve noticed that some of my burned CDs did have a short life span, but I’m not so sure if they’re […]

Would You Really Skin Your Gadgets?

As much as I “ooh” and “aah” over gadgets which have been sticker-fied or skinned, I’ve been thinking if I would actually have my gadgets done.
I mean, take my MacBook Pro for example.
Eversince I’ve gotten my MacBook, the only pretty-fication (yes, my very own linggo) I’ve done to it is buy a Speck Case… in […]
