Sony launched a new style of headphones (model: MDR-NC300) with 98.4% noise cancellation feature. These earphones as claimed by company produce true hi-fi quality audio. Best part is that these are sure to fit your ear perfectly as they come with 7 sizes of silicon earbuds. Mostly earphones of this design come in standard size which either fit too tight or loose enough to fall every now and then.

Today 2nd October is the Birthday of Internet. Where is the cake? Well cake was stuffed with lots of virus, worms, Trojans so we dumped it and just celebrating it silently without any kind of party. Internet has changed our lives, over past 40 years and I feel it’s the single most things from which people will never get bored. For daily internet users like me who have most of the work done via internet, it’s like a lifeline. A minute of disconnection from internet and panic starts in no time. Internet is slowly creeping in the life of every person on this planet and its making their life easier which is good.

Fuel prices keep increasing and as your car gets older, its love for fuel increases. You notice that you are visiting fuel pump often than before and fuel expenses has increased noticeably. If your car is too old (say more than 10 years old) then it will be wise to sell it off and get a more fuel efficient car. But let’s stick to the topic of fuel saving on your current car.

To start with, fill your car only in morning or at midnight. Now it’s not necessary that you make a visit to petrol pump at these odd times only to fill your car, you can do it whenever you find a reputed pump while returning late night or while going to office in morning. Reason is when fuel is colder, it’s denser and you are sure of getting right quantity of fuel in your car.

Now when you have right amount of fuel, next thing you should do at fuel pump is get your tire pressure checked which is free at most petrol pumps. Correct tire pressure will help in achieving a good fuel efficiency.

Now drive off the pump but keep your right foot in control, do not floor the accelerator pedal or press quickly. Train your right foot to press accelerator pedal as gently and slowly as possible and pressing it all the way down.

Use brakes only when absolutely needed, in city traffic you can always use engine brake to slow down. Engine braking comes when you are in lower gear and you are not using clutch and accelerator at all. If you have to apply brakes to slowdown a bit (for example to keep good distance from car in front of you) try not to use clutch at all, if engine tends to stall then ofcourse you have to use clutch.

Check your car from inside and look for unnecessary things stuffed in your car which are adding weight to your car. Engine is using more fuel to carry these unnecessary loads. Now don’t throw that spare wheel and curse me when you have a flat tire LOL

Roll down the windows and see if you can do without AC. Using AC means adding load to engine and engine will obviously going to gulp down more fuel.

One last tip is for overall benefit of your car is that get it serviced regularly at authorized workshops and don’t just rely on what they are doing to your car. Check yourself like they have changed oil filter, engine oil, air filter etc or not and things like wheel balancing are alignment are carried out or not if it was needed.

Tip 1: You bath daily, don’t you? Then why not shave in bathroom instead? Shaving in bathroom saves upto 15 min as your beard is already wet, soft and you don’t need to apply any shaving cream. You can use the same bathing soap of even shampoo that you use to wash hair. What you can do is when you apply shampoo on hair, use some part on beard and while you wait for the shampoo to do its work on hair, you can use the razor to shave.

Tip 2: Wear Laceless Shoes. When you wear shoes with lace, you procedure is like this – you pick up the shoes, site somewhere then adjust the lace so that your foot can go inside the shoes then tie the knot. This may take upto 2 minutes of you life daily which is 1 hour per month. Think about it, you are spending one hour every month just touching your shoes! When you wear laceless shoes, you just put your feet in them and walk away! It takes just about 5 seconds!

Tip 3: Get central locking installed in your car or best you can have is keyless entry. Using keys to open your car door is time consuming. More time consuming is checking all the doors if they are locked or not after parking your car. With central locking, no need to tell that you can lock and unlock doors with a push of a button. Another few seconds time saving tip here is push that button while you walk away from your car as there is no need to specially stand facing remote towards the car and then pushing the button. There is one more very useful advantage of having this feature in your car which I’ll tell later as that is something totally off topic.

Tips 4: Avoid unnecessary conversation on phone when network is not clear. You can always do those non serious talks when you meet that person or when network is clear or you are browsing thru boring spreadsheet in your office!

Laptops are the most preferred computer in both home and offices. Single most important reason is its portability; you can work on it like a workstation and then carry it anywhere you go. However some laptops with huge screen size and bulky components make the laptop heavy and uncomfortable to carry it everywhere. I workout in gym and lift heavy weight but sometimes my laptop causes pain in my hand when I have to keep in hand longer, infact I cannot do that and I always have to find any table so that I can keep it and then work. One day I really got fed up when my laptop battery got finish just before important meeting with client and that day I decided to keep my bulky laptop and home only and buy a second laptop which is small, light weight, has good battery backup so that I don’t have to look for charging points all the time.

I was reading a review at cnet on Samsung’s new N120 laptop and to my surprise; it was really a 100% match of what I was looking for in a laptop. This cute little laptop has a 10.2 inch screen which is just perfect for carrying around and a nice keyboard which feels very comfortable for typing. This laptop also gives me an amazing 10 hours of battery backup, thanks to energy efficient Intel Atom processor while my existing laptop gives me less than 3 hours and that too when I dim the screen brightness. Because I will mostly use my laptop for presentations and even play music when I am with friends, I want good sound output from my laptop and Samsung N120 is a champ on that part too. SRS sound with 2.1 channel speakers gives loud and decent quality sound which most highly priced laptops fail to provide. Talking of price, this laptop comes at a price that will make you smile, at only USD 499; it’s definitely a steal deal. I would strongly suggest my readers to go to your nearest computer shop and try your hands on Samsung N120, and also write your comments; I’ll be reading them all and replying to your queries regarding this product if any.

One of my friend who is currently running his health club wanted to buy his first phone and to get a number he needed an identity proof. He does not drive so he doesn’t have any driving license and he is not in any college as well so no ID card of college as well. This was a big problem and what I was thinking that being a citizen of country like India; he has no proof of his nationality and existence. I don’t know about other things he might be having like birth certificate but that is not accepted as ID proof! I was little shocked that day and today I hear a good news from Indian Government. As part of a project to issue ID cards for all 1.1 billion of its citizens, Indian Government has announced plans to place information of every single citizen in what will be the world’s second largest citizen’s database. This will help in identifying Indian Citizens anywhere in the world and it should be really helpful in national security.

All I can hope that such good plans don’t get dumped. Corrupt officials will definitely try to make some quick bucks in this too. May God keep the database away from corruption!

I was at a PC shop few days back and I saw a laptop which I got tempted to buy. I asked the price and found it on a bit higher side. For that price I could get more features, one of my techie friend suggested standing beside me looking at more gadgets in that shop. Shop owner popped in the scene and started to convince me by telling benefits of that laptop which he failed to do. On the way I asked my techie friend how to find the best possible laptop for my budget and he promptly suggested me ConsumerMate.com website. At first I thought it may be just a review website which will only confuse me with Hot Deals but I was surprised to see how useful a website can be in simplifying buying decisions.

The very first page of ConsumerMate.com has a widget which has sliders to Compare Laptops on price, weight, screen size and check boxes for brands. These few things are the most important and on these factors we make our buying decision. Once we slide it according to our requirements we get to know how many laptops are available which satisfy our requirements. On clicking the button we get a list of all these laptops with full description, test reports and even personal reviews by people who have actually bought and used that laptop. If you are getting all this at one place at ConsumerMate.com, then it’s the ultimate website to browse when you need to buy a laptop.
