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. The price was really dear, and I made assumptions that this filter is not the one to be messed with as they seem to have some sort of reputation. After scouring the net for more information, I found few clips in youtube. It convinced me more that I must get this item. I fired up my ebay account and add listings. I eventually got to bid a second hand minted one...

Tamrac Expedition 5X Photo Backpack

I got a photography backpack at last! It was Tamrac Expedition 5 photo backpack. I got it from ebay for a discounted price. The condition was awesome, minty fresh and new. It was a good bargain though. This was actually my second photography backpack. The first one, a Tamrac Expedition 4 was mistakenly purchased. I dislike it as it simply does not help my lens expansion. I sold them off again in ebay and bought Tamrac Expedition 5. Very pleased with this one. Tamrac Expedition 5 was actually...

Improve N95 Battery Life

Symbian phones like N95 does run out of power in a short-time due to simultaneous mechanisms running in the background just like those puny Windows drivers that you have no knowledge about. I have came across some tips from gersbo.dk, of how some functions can be turned-off to minimize instantaneous battery drain. Basic Optimizations Update phone firmware - new firmware might include improvements to battery management. Bluetooth - keep it off unless needed. Put bluetooth management...

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...
