It was such a great relief when my employer sent me a Plantronics S12 headset to replace the broken one that I had been using for the last 7 years. If you’re in sales, I’m sure you can relate to the importance of being hands-free. In fact, if you’ve got any kind of job where you spend most of your time on a phone and typing on a computer, you know how important it is to have a good head-set. The Plantronics S12 headset replaced my previous S10 model that I've used at work for the last 7 years.

Microsoft 3500

The Microsoft wireless mobile mouse 3500 isn't just for laptops. Recently, when my desktop mouse conked out, I nabbed the optical, wireless mouse from my laptop bag, plugged it in and voila. I used the microsoft wireless mobile mouse for about 2 weeks, all the while wondering why anyone needs a genuine 'desktop' mouse, anyway. I've taken the Microsoft 3500 for granted all these years, but I really like the way it looks and feels.Why does anyone need something bigger than the Microsoft wirless mobile mouse 3500? Your guess is as good as mine. Read the rest of this entry

Yoobao

If the Yoobao is not the Best iPad2 Case money can buy,  it certainly may be the best iPad 2 Case for the least amount of money. How does one end up doing an iPad 2 case review? Well, for one thing, the Apple iPad 2 is practically unusable without a case/stand for displaying, surfing and typing content. The best iPad 2 case not only needed for protection of your technological investment, but to make it more conveniently useable. If you were like me, you were very disheartened when you spend $500 - $900 on your new iPad and learned that your discount store wanted another $50-$99 just for a case.  Little did I know how important it was to have the best iPad 2 case. I learned my lesson the hard way by purchasing the cheapest Case I could get my hands on rather than the best ipad 2 case for the money - and no, I hadn't even heard of Yoobao. I made this same mistake before with other leather cases, bags and screen protectors for the iPhone 4, thinking I was getting a wholesale deal. So, I bought a $49.00 iPad 2 case by CaseLogic made of silicone. The only good thing I could say about this case is that it was sleek, slim and didn't add much weight or size to the iPad. Other than that, it was practically unusable as I could never get the fold-out stand to stay together when using the iPad 2 on a desktop. Obviously, I knew that $49.00 wasn't going to get me the best iPad 2 case, but I could certainly do better than this for the price. Enter, Yoobao products. Read the rest of this entry

Intel

The DP67DEB3 is a genuine Intel Core i7 Motherboard. If the CPU is the brain, the motherboard is the heart and soul inside the Antec 300 ATX Chassis of my son's high performance computer.  I decided to go with an Intel brand motherboard on his high-end Core i7 system for a couple of reasons: One, I've built and installed thousands of computer systems and by and large, the Intel brand motherboards were the most reliable. Two (and this goes hand-in-hand with reason #1), Intel designed the technology. The DP67DEB3 is based on the latest Intel Core i7 technology. While there are plenty of great motherboard manufacturers like Supermicro, MSI and ASUS, Intel is the one that designed the 2nd Generation i7 and they aren't nearly so quick to launch new products before thoroughly testing them.
