Google Chrome – Awesome!

Honestly speaking, I am sucker for lightweight browsers just like Firefox when it was first released. After versions and versions of release, Firefox had turned into a monster just like it's Microsoft counterpart, the IE, and my escape - Google Chrome. This browser simply rox to the core! Smooth and sleek sophisticated look, Chrome will definitely outrun Firefox, SeaMonkey and IE in terms of sophistication and speed. If you are a big fan of Google's products, this is a must have as...

Expodisc 58mm White Balance Filter

My Expodisc purchase was based upon curiosity. I stumbled across this product by accident, in a Canon-based photography magazine.

Nokia N95 On Grabs

This item is one of my wishlist this year. Happily acquired this on eBay. Its a daft place to get an expensive gadget for most of you but after some careful homework doing via the site for many weeks, I eventually dared myself to get this gadget off the site for more than half of the high-street price. Though it was airtime-branded (Vodafone), but all that matters for me that it wasn't a SIM-locked one. I have been eyeing for this since its official release in March, and only successfully...
