Recharge your USB device anytime, anywhere.

This may be ideal solution for every one of us. It is very often that we might feel need to recharge some of our devices that are powered by USB ports.

Where to go for USB recharging while on the move?

There are mobile phone chargers installed on public places and even in some of the trains. If only there are USB chargers, many of our problems will be solved.

Here is a portable USB station that can charge two USB powered device simultaneously. It is powered by batteries.

Bluray and Sachin Tendulkar.



I would regret the moment I said no to a new bluray dual layered DVD home theater system that my husband wanted to buy on my previous birthday. I still don’t know why I said no.

Yesterday, due to heavy rain, I missed watching Sachin Tendulkar’s onslaught of the Australian bowlers. The satellite TV fails whenever it rains. He scored a mammoth 175 runs that almost brought India to a highly improbable victory.

Had we bought the bluray DVD system, we could have programmed to record the entire innings to watch it today or on any other rainy day.

Yes, we can still buy the bluray DVD player but it is not every day that Sachin play such a fantastic innings!

Does it really clean the carpet?


The telephone call (it is certainly unsolicited) that I received today was about a new vacuum cleaner that is supposed to clean the carpet and make it look like a new one.

I had my apprehension since I have been using a vacuum cleaner for more than 25 years and it serve the basic cleaning necessities but it is only a dry cleaner.

But how a wet cleaner will work? I was given to understand that this new vacuum cleaner literally
shampoo clean the carpet. I was told that it injects a cleaning solution into a carpet and then sucks the dirty solution back out.

Hmm.. seems workable-isn't it?

Dyson’s great vacuum cleaners.

Well, at last, after nearly two weeks of moving into our new house, we have settling down and started to enjoy the new surroundings, spacious bath rooms and airy bedrooms.

The past two weeks was really hectic fixing innumerable items, re-arranging the home theater and modifying the kitchen to our convenience.

Though we have managed to clean the house thoroughly, some items were still an eyesore for us. The first one is the exhaust fan that has accumulated lot of grime.

An ordinary vacuum cleaner is not sufficient to clean it. It requires some special accessory like the one supplied by Dyson. One of the Dyson genuine accessories is the stubborn dirt remover with stiff bristles that can remove dried up grime and dust.

It is costing only £12.00 and should be very useful for every household. Dyson range of vacuum cleaners and accessories are innovative.

The website is designed with aesthetic sense and the navigation is free of confusion.

Its founder James Dyson is a true visionary.

GPS tracker stick.


Let me elaborate. We all drive in our car to a new location once in a way. It may be to a new hotel or a friend's house for the first time. As a student, we may get lost inside the campus.

There is no need to be embarrassed. This happens to many. For them (I included), the new GPS super tracker stick is essential to carry along wherever they go.

It records all its own movements. In short, it records anything that moves. The Super Trackstick records its own location, time, date, speed, heading, altitude and temperature at preset intervals.

How it works:
It is said to receive signals from satellites.
Do you know that it is connected to 24 satellites?
It is works on the planet Earth completely.
Your exact location and the route traveled can be viewed and played back directly within Google™ Earth.
Everything is included and there are no monthly fees.

Nano based iPhones from Apple.

I am sorry, no photographs yet on this futuristic iPhone from Apple.

Only two weeks before, on June 29th, the world witnessed the highest number of iPhones sold in day. Long queues and instant auctions of the iPhone were the order of that day.

Now, more good news from Apple:
The enthusiasm of die-hard Apple fans can gear up for the next product release -- a less expensive version of iPhone based on the iPod Nano music player later this year, said a JP Morgan report Tuesday.

Apple Inc. plans to introduce the new type of iPhone, which is described as a handheld device with a circular touch pad displaying illuminated symbols that could change depending on the mode in use.

Hmm.... How long we have to wait for it to launch in India, Apple only knows.

Card reader and writer.

Shame on me! What is the use of reading so many gadgets blogs without gaining any knowledge of the card reader and it's applications?

But it so happened. I confess that I am a zombie in these matters. When my son asked me to get him a card reader so that he can transfer all the photos we captured during our recent trip to Goa, I hid my ignorance and went out.

At the shop, I walked with confidence with an air of authority but with a purpose. I simply didn't want to expose my weakness. I asked for a card reader and the first question he asked me was what type of memory card I have.

Flat! I was cleanly floored. Memory card? I called my son and told him about my situation. He talked to the shop keeper directly and pulled me out of my predicament.
