The Canon SX40 HS is a popular camera due to its huge, 35X Wide-Angle Zoom lens and HD 1080P Recording capability. But how good does it take pictures? Before I answer that question, let me say that I'm a huge fan of large optical zooms on digital cameras. I won't even look at a camera today that has an optical zoom under 20X. I purchased my Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 about 3 years ago solely on the fact that it had a 12X Zoom which was one of the largest available at the time for the price range. I paid about $249.00 for it and you can see the review here: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1.

Last week, I decided that I wanted something a little better than the Apple earbuds that came with my iPhone to listen to music. I made it my goal to find the best headphones under 100 Dollars. Why $100? Well, years ago, I paid right around $100 for a pair of over-the-ear Sony Headphones. Even though they still work, they were collecting dust for a number of years until my son decided he could use them for some of his computer and music programming. Even my son was surprised when I told him I paid $100 for these Sony headphones. He has been planning on getting a good pair of headphones for himself, too. These particular Sony headphones were only average. Problems? Well, for starters, they had a rather weak bass and a tinny narrow-sounding mid-range and treble. They just didn’t sound live enough. I thought I could do better for under $100 bucks and I was proven right. I bought these headphones before the internet age when I didn’t have the privilege of doing a Google search for the best Headphones under 100. Finally, I decided to do something about it and find something that would actually improve my music listening experience.
A White Noise App provides Smart Phone users with sounds to fall asleep to. If you’re like me, and have trouble falling asleep and/or happen to be a very light sleeper, you are likely to agree with me that a White Noise App is the most useful and healthiest utility you ever owned for your iPhone, Droid, iPad or any other mobile device. It was by no accident that I discovered how useful it would be to download sleep sounds for my iPhone. While staying at a couple of Hotels this past summer and fall I noted how easily I could be woken up by the slightest noise. One Hotel I stayed at in New Mexico this fall had a particularly noisy room heater. The fan drowned out those subtle, but startling noises like doors closing down the hall, footsteps, running water, etc. I slept like a rock that night and then it dawned on me: I needed a 
If you're an iPhone lover who is looking for a reason to dump AT&T (and many people are), you can now pre-order the new iPhone 4S, 16GB for $199.00 with a Sprint 2 year Contract. I realize that there are even a few Verizon grumblers now after the iPhone became available to them several weeks ago. I wouldn't touch a review of phone carriers with a 10-foot pole. It seems no matter who you talk to, they'll tell you they love their phone but hate their service. Consider me a former Sprint grumbler. I was never happy with my phone service from Sprint, but the main reason I switched to AT&T two years ago was to get the iPhone. Whether it is bad phone service or the nature of the phone, I predict there will be an equal number of iPhone owners between Sprint, Verizon and AT&T grumbling about how bad their phone service is. Still, a new carrier like Sprint offers the opportunity for a number of new, first-time iPhone owners and may offer some of the grumbling, AT&T owners who are nearly two years into their contracts the chance to upgrade from an older iPhone to the new iPhone 4. So, what's the difference between the
