Buying Valentine’s Day Gifts for Guys

Red — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:52:05 +0000

Girls, this one is for you.

Do you find it hard to look for Valentine’s Day gifts for your crush, boyfriend, partner, or husband? Do you often feel that the gifts you give aren’t as appreciated as you’d expected?

Buying Valentine’s Day gifts for guys is really quite difficult, because unlike Valentine’s Day gifts for girls, it is often difficult to consolidate the masculinity of a man with the romance of the occasion. But girls, don’t fret, because we’ll go through some tips to help you pick the right gifts for your man this Valentine’s Day that appeal both to his masculinity and his sense of romance.

Creativity is the key!

Creativity is the key when buying Valentine’s Day gifts for guys, because most of the things that guys often like to receive are nowhere near romantic — gadgets, equipment for their favorite sports, gear or equipment for their favorite hobbies, and the like. These are so different from the kind of gifts that girls are given, and like to receive, on Valentine’s Day — flowers, sweets, cosmetic products, perfume, sexy lingerie, jewelry, or clothes.

So one of things that girls often do when they pick Valentine’s Day gifts for their loved one is to pick up something that they think will be romantic too, without considering their masculinity. In this way, some of them might try buying flowers, sweets, or perfume for their beloved male other half. While, it is true that there are guys who can be very appreciative of these types of gifts, there are those who won’t help but feel let down.

To avoid this, girls should always remember to think about what their man usually likes to receive. If your man loves gadgets, why not give him a new cellphone — if it is within your means — but before giving it to him on Valentine’s Day, fill up the phone’s gallery of photos of yourself (if you’re daring and you trust your man, you might even include something leaning toward sexy) or you both as a couple. You could also set the wallpaper or theme to show a picture of you or you both as a couple on the home screen or as the screen saver. And as an added surprise, set up a future event in his calendar with instructions to a surprise you’ve planned and set up!

Another idea along this line would work if your man is into sports. If you’re man plays soccer, you could get him a customized soccer jersey, and instead of having his name printed on the back, have it say something like “I love [your name]” or “I ♥ [your name].” Then when your man goes to play soccer and agrees to wear the jersey you gave him, surprise him again by wearing a jersey with his name on it instead while you cheer loudly for him from the stands.

But if you really want to lean toward a romantic gift for your man and your relationship has reached a level where you have started having encounters in bed or would like to make that move on Valentine’s Day, a creative idea is to give him sexy lingerie! Not sexy lingerie for guys (because that could make him feel embarrassed) but give him a gift of sexy lingerie for you to wear as a sign that he can expect something if he’s good on Valentine’s Day.

So remember to be creative when giving Valentine’s Day gifts to men. Put yourself in his shoes and think about what he will be ecstatic to receive. And remember also that your gift doesn’t have to be expensive, there are a myriad of ways to keep within your means this Valentine’s Day when buying gifts, like buying them from online wholesalers. In the end, the age-old saying still stands true: “It’s not the gift, but the thought, that counts.”

Generation Android

Red — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 06:08:26 +0000

Google’s Android OS has made a big difference in the Chinese smartphone manufacturing industry in the last few years. There has been a definite shift in preference from the design and development of proprietary operating systems for their smartphones to designing their smartphones around the Android operating system.

This has allowed many Chinese smartphone manufacturers to reduce overall production costs and focus mainly on producing solid hardware bases with a wide range of features and with the kind of capabilities that can be expected from a modern smartphone. These improvements are definitely noticeable and Chinese smartphones become better and better with each new generation that is released.

The most recent generation of smartphones has been particularly notable – with the majority of Chinese smartphone manufacturers almost exclusively releasing smartphones running Android 2.2 or Android 2.3. A closer inspection of the hardware that these newer Chinese smartphones are running really shows how much the industry in China has improved – at least on the hardware manufacturing sector.

Most of the recently releases smartphones run on the MTK6516 mobile processor, which on its own is very capable and is able to run Android OS and any apps that are installed smoothly and easily. Although resistive touch screens are still being used, capacitive touch screens have clearly started to show up more prominently on Chinese smartphones, especially those above $175. With most brand name smartphones that use capacitive touch screens costing anywhere above $300, this is a significant development, as it really is hard to replace the impact that the ease-of-use of a capacitive touch screen makes on a users, especially those who will be using a touch screen phone for the first time.

Online wholesalers have been quick to snatch up these newer smartphones, and they have by all accounts become instant hits with their customers – something that doesn’t seem to come as a surprise to many of us anymore. Chinese smartphones have garnered a level of respect among many tech savvy users because they are easy to customize to suit ones needs. The deployments of Android that they utilize are easily rooted, so jailbreaking them to install a custom OS or other software that otherwise would not be available for download or use is a relatively easy task for those with some basic experience in working with Android OS installations.

IPhone 4S Scramble!

Red — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 14:29:42 +0000

We know a lot of people were hyped up for Tim Cook’s first keynote speech as the new Apple CEO this year because many thought that Apple would finally be revealing the next generation iPhone 5. Tough luck! But Tim Cook did talk iPhone, and the buzz created by his announcement and, sadly, of the announcement of Steve Jobs death the day after, as well, has made the new iPhone 4S one of the most sought after iPhones ever produced.

The iPhone 4S hits store shelves this October in the United States, and will be available through AT&T, Verizon, and now, Sprint. In November, Apple will also be releasing an unlocked GSM version that will allow subscribers to GSM networks to use the iPhone 4S with any GSM network they prefer. This basically means that you no longer have to worry about putting your iPhone 4S on an expensive roaming plan to be able to use it abroad. Instead, when you arrive at your destination, simply purchase a prepaid GSM SIM card from one of the local networks when you arrive at the country you’re visiting to use while you’re there. The best thing about this is that prepaid GSM SIM cards often sell for less than $5.00, and usually have enough pre-loaded credits to make a 2 minute call back home, send about 50 or more text messages to other people within the local network you’re subscribed to in that country, or browse the internet with via 3G or GPRS networks for about 15 minutes to update your status on Facebook or send Tweets out on Twitter.

But why are we blogging about the original iPhone 4S on a site that admittedly sells iPhone clones? Well, simply because we sell iPhone clones doesn’t mean we aren’t fans of Apple’s magnificent creation! In fact, the plain fact that we do sell iPhone clones is proof of our love of the iPhone. We know we can’t beat their technology, but we aren’t shy to show our appreciation for it by selling products by people who copy it simply because they understand that it is one of the best inventions of recent years. Besides, we tell ourselves, original iPhones are simply too expensive for most people, so those of us who can’t afford a real one can live with the consolation of owning something “close” to it – shallow and entirely sobering as it may be, we’d rather die than lie about it.

But there’s another, deeper reason to blog about the iPhone 4S today! And it’s a reason we know that a lot of people will go crazy over: we’re giving one away at the end of October! Yes, you read that right! Bigboxstore.com is giving an iPhone 4S away at the end of October! Should I say it again? I guessed not. But yeah, I finally broke the exciting news. . . So how do you get your hands on a new iPhone 4S? Simple. Just be a fan of our Facebook page and you might just be the lucky fan we choose to test drive Apple’s newest mobile device! So like our Facebook page now!

Don’t Hide It, Display It!

A lot of things have changed since the days when all cameras used film to record photographs and videos. Back then, unless you had a lot of money to buy hundreds of rolls of film, your shots were limited and you had to make sure that you could take the right shot at the right time. And even if you could afford hundreds of rolls of film, carrying them around with you on a long photowalk would be a chore even for the strongest athletes, because not only would you be carrying the hundreds of rolls of film, you’d have to lug more than one camera around with you, too, that would take shots using film with a different film speed. And if you managed to take a shot that was worth a spread in National Geographic, you’d have to order a larger print of it and have it framed in order to showcase it at home. Videos couldn’t be framed, of course, so these had to sit idly by on your shelf until someone took interest in it or until you found a good time to show them off.

When digital cameras came around, things changed in the entire process of taking the perfect picture and putting it up for everyone to admire. Unlike older cameras that semi-permanently recorded photographs and videos to film, digital cameras allowed you to take a number of shots and delete the ones you didn’t like to make room for more shots. This meant that photographers and videographers were potentially no longer limited in the number of shots they could take. In the early days of digital photography, a capacity of one hundred or so still photographs was pretty standard, but as memory options have increased in capacity and become cheaper, storing thousands of pictures on one SD card has become commonplace. Because of the near unlimited number of photographs and videos that a digital camera can take, showcasing each picture and video could quite possible become a hassle with the traditional picture frame or with typical video storage options.

Digital picture frames are the answer to getting all those perfect moments captured through your lenses displayed and admired without having to pay a fortune to have reproduced in a large format prints and professionally framed. Digital picture frames are able to showcase your best photographs and videos straight from their digital source and display them sequentially in a photo and video slideshow, so you really only need one digital picture frame to show off even a hundred or more shots.

Flexibility and economy are what digital picture frames are all about. Flexibility in the fact that not only do digital picture frames allow you to showcase more than one picture at a time, but also because they can also play videos, as well. And economy, because digital picture frames are cheaper both at point of sale and in the long run than regularly having all of your pictures printed and framed. They are widely available from many online electronics wholesalers with different sizes and features to suit your needs!

A Revolution in Media Players: Dual-booting MP5 Players From Ramos and Benss

Red — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 15:04:21 +0000

If you’ve ever thought that the large touchscreens that come with MP5 players should be used for much more than just touch playback of movies and music, and for turning the pages of an occasional e-book, then you’ll be glad to know that the future of MP5 players is quickly catching up to you. There is a revolution brewing in the media player world that is merging the MP5 player and Android tablet markets closer together. This revolution is the inclusion of two operating systems in one MP5 player device, allowing users to chose to boot either to the standard OS of a high-definition media player or into a version of Google’s Android OS.

Two leading MP5 manufacturers have been on the forefront of this new generation of MP5 players with dual boot capabilites: Ramos and Benss. Both companies have had extensive experience in the design and development of media players and are two of the most well-established media player manufacturers in the Asia-Pacific region, with avid followers within the region and around the world.

While the development of MP5 players in this direction comes with little surprise, the quality of these first generation of dual-booting MP5 players is really a thing to behold. Between the two manufacturers, 5 new dual-booting MP5 players are currently out on the market.

Ramos is the clear winner when it comes to the number of models it has released that are capable of dual-booting between the HD media player operating system and Android OS 2.1 Eclair. Ramos’ selection of dual-booting MP5 players includes the T8Pro, the T11Pro, the V70Pro, and the T20. The Ramos line feature MP5 players of varying specifications and prices. When purchasing the dual-booting Mp5 players from online wholesalers, Ramos starts with the 4.3-inch T8Pro pricing in at $65.65 at the lowest end of the line and finishes off at $130.09 for the 7-inch T20 at the highest end of the food chain.

Benss has decided to take a more conservative path by releasing only one dual-booting MP5 player, however, it has shown its desire to be competitive in this new area by releasing its modestly priced $49.25 B3 with Android OS 2.3 Gingerbread instead.

All 5 Mp5 players share several things in common. First, instead of having the Android OS installed directly onto the hardware, booting into the Android operating system is instead accomplished by inserting an SD card loaded with Android into the SD card slot and selecting the OS of choice at the start-up screen.

Second, although capable of booting into Android OS, none of the 5 MP5 players are tablets in the true sense of the term. All 5 dual-booting MP5 players do not have WiFi capabilities, so installing any software is once again done via the SD card slot and some basic rooting. All 5 MP5 players also do not have the sensors that come standard with almost any tablet at the moment, like an accelerometer or G-sensor, so games and applications requiring this won’t work as expected.

Ramos had released a more advanced version of the T11, called the T11AD, with WiFi capabilities, an accelerometer, G-sensor, compass, and other more tablet-like hardware specifications, however, this is dual-booting MP5 player is more correctly classified as a tablet rather than a true MP5 player by both users, critics, and Ramos themselves alike.

Solar Chargers and Gadgets: Helping You Do Your Part for the Environment

Red — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 00:10:22 +0000

A lot attention has been placed on issues regarding the environment in recent years. The changes that have come as a result of global warming are alarming, to say the least. I, for one, have noticed how drastically the climate where I live has changed in the past 25 years that I have lived here. The altitude in our area makes the weather cooler than most of the surrounding areas, and thick fogs were common between the months of November and February.

In recent years, the not only has the weather here become noticably hotter and more humid, but those thick fogs that I remember so clearly have all but disappeared. As a boy, they always made a great impression on me because of how thick they were and how often they would appear. Seeing anything beyond 5 meters into them was difficult when they had settled down over the area in the morning, and occasionally they would return late into the afternoon while we were playing soccer after school but only thinner and for a shorter time.

Whenever I think back to my childhood and the dramatic changes that have taken place in the weather, it reminds me our role in making sure that the mistakes we have made in the past that have affected our planet’s stability are not repeated again. With today’s technology, we can actually help to keep the situation from becoming even worse, and we can also change things for the better.

In recent years, a lot of development has been undertaken to try to make solar energy cheap and affordable for all. Solar chargers and gadgets that can run on solar electricity have been developed with emphasis on making them portable and easy to use. With the average consumer in mind, these solar gadgets are inexpensive when bought from online wholesalers, are small and lightweight, and can be used for a variety of applications.

Solar chargers are built around the concept of making free electricity available wherever you go to charge common electronic gadgets such as laptops, digital cameras, mobile phones, and tablets. Because of their size, they can be taken almost anywhere, and this makes it possible to provide power for almost any kind of electronic device even in remote places without electricity. Serious applications could include scientific research in rural areas where a scientist would be able to use a laptop for data analysis despite being in the middle of nowhere.

Users who travel a lot under the sun can also plan to do most of their charging while travelling using solar bags. These specially built bags are equipped with solar panels embedded into one or more of their surfaces and include the necessary hardware to charge different electronic devices stored within them. On long hiking trips, they can be used to charge batteries for flashlights during the day so that they are fresh for use every night.

Other solar gadgets include solar flashlights, that can be charged during the day by exposing them to sunlight. Using super bright low-power LEDs, these special flashlights are able to produce enough light that can be used for the duration of an entire evening after being exposed to sunlight for the whole day. This makes them extremely practical for outdoor activities such as camping out.

HDD Media Players: A Revolution in Full-length Movie Consumption

Red — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 15:59:29 +0000

In recent years, the selection of media available through the internet has grown dramatically in size and variety. As data transport rates increase with the years and the bandwidth capabilities of networks around the world are upgraded, it’s likely that we will see this trend continue. It’s hard to doubt the fact that, if you’re looking to watch a movie, listen to some music, or browse through pictures, the internet is one of the best places you can go to get them.

Music, video clips, and pictures have been on the internet for quite a long while now, but full-length movies have only recently really started to make their presence felt on the World Wide Web. With the birth of sites like Netflix that offer unlimited movies streamed off the internet or Blockbuster.com and CinemaNow.com that give you the option to purchase movie downloads that you can keep, and with the proliferation of movies both legally and not-so-legally through torrents, the internet has become one of the best places to go find the movies you want to see.

Convenience is the word behind why viewers are turning to the internet for movies, despite their availability on DVD or Blu-Ray. Not only is it simply easier to just store hundreds of movies in an external hard drive and be able to take them around with you to watch at, say, a friend’s house, it also relieves the clutter and lack of storage space that is a problem with optical or magnetic tape media. But downloaded movies also go an important step further, both optical and magnetic tape media are prone to damage that can cause skips and errors when watching movies or keep the movies from playing properly at all, but movies stored on a hard drive are capable of lasting longer while still maintaining the same quality they had the day they were bought and downloaded.

But convenience can actually become an issue for some when trying to watch movies from an external hard drive or memory card source on a television. Being able to watch the movies on their computers doesn’t appeal to all viewers, especially if their televisions produce better HD picture on a larger screen and they also have great surround sound being produced by a set of great speakers to complete the experience.

To address this problem, a new generation of media players have evolved that allow users to access and play movies directly from an external hard drive or memory card. HDD media players come in all forms and sizes, with different capabilities that serve different purposes.

In the most basic sense, an HDD media player is a device with hardware and software for playing audio and video files from a hard drive through a home entertainment system. Some HDD media players simply combine a hard drive enclosure with the audio and video hardware and software, and can come either with a hard drive installed already or simply as an empty shell, giving users the choice of what hard drive they want to install. There are also smaller HDD media players that do not have their own hard drive enclosure, but instead, have either one or two USB ports that can be used to plug in an external hard drive and/or some sort of memory card slot. Some of these simpler HDD media players that do not have their own hard drive enclosures are small enough to be portable – thus allowing users to bring their external hard drive and HDD media player with them, and watch their movies anywhere they can plug their device in, for example, in their employee lounge or at a friend’s house.

As far as HDD media player capabilities are concerned, the range is quite stunning. Some HDD media players come with networking capabilities, allowing users to access media via file sharing networks from the hard drive of a networked computer. Other HDD media players are able to do this via Wi-Fi as well. Some HDD media players also have the capability to access streaming media from the internet and might also have torrent downloading capabilities. And there are also HDD media players that have the ability to digitally record media from an external source. In this respect, the possibilities for HDD media players are endless.

While the technology behind HDD media players is still young, it is very likely that we will see their popularity increase in the future. At the moment, China is taking the lead in HDD media players, and the majority of developers and manufacturers are based there. Because of this, HDD media players tend to be quite inexpensive, especially if they are purchased through online wholesalers, making them a great investment for any home theater setup.

Steve Jobs Leaving CEO Position in Apple

Red — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 10:15:15 +0000

Steve Jobs, who served for 14 years as the iconic Apple CEO, handed in his resignation of the position on August 24, 2011. In a surprise announcement last week, Jobs said in a letter to the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

“I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

“I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.”

Shortly after, Apple’s Board of Directors accepted and made immediately effective Jobs’ resignation, appointed him as a director, and elected him as Chairman of the Board. Taking Jobs’ recommendation, the Apple Board of Directors also named the company’s COO, Tim Cook, as the new CEO.

Jobs’ resignation didn’t come as a surprise, however. A survivor of pancreatic cancer, Jobs has been on a medical leave since January 17; although neither Apple nor Jobs have yet disclosed the details of his condition. Several analysts had already predicted that Jobs would step down in 2011 after he filed his most recent medical leave, his second one in two years; and that Tim Cook would become Apple’s next CEO.

While Apple and Jobs remain confident that Cook will be able to successfully fill in the void left by Jobs in much the same capacity, several analysts have expressed their views that Jobs’ resignation marks the end of an era for Apple. Jobs most recent tenure at Apple was marked not only by a return to profitability after the company posted multi-billion dollar losses a few years prior, but also by the successful reinvention and restructuring of its product line. Because of this, Jobs has developed a cult following amongst consumers and Apple employees alike who cling to his every word and are the first to defend the visionary CEO’s ideas whenever they receive negative criticism.

Jobs return to Apple brought about a collaboration with Microsoft to release Microsoft Office on the Mac and an ease in competition between the two computing giants. Apple has also collaborated with Intel to develop hardware for their Macs. It also brought about the development of successful products such as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Jobs is also credited as being the mastermind behind the success of the iOS, which included setting limitations for the types of applications it can run – most notably the controversial exclusion of Adobe Flash Player.

Tim Cook, who was brought on board by Jobs as the Senior Vice President for Worldwide Operations in 1998, has been with Apple for 13 years. He was promoted to COO in January 2007. Cook has also served as CEO during 3 of Jobs’ absences – for two months in 2004, while Jobs was recovering from pancreatic cancer; for several months in 2009, when Jobs took a leave of absence for a liver transplant; and since the beginning of Jobs’ medical leave this year.

Cook has been charged with continuing Jobs’ vision of making Apple computers as easy-to-use and ubiquitous as televisions, food processors, and radios. While Cook has built a reputation of being exceptionally skilled operationally, it still remains to be seen if he can match the Jobs’ visionary perfectionism.

Following Jobs’ resignation, Apple shares experienced a 7% slump, but market analysts and long-time Apple observers agree that, at least in the next few quarters, the company will still be able to stick to its fabled product-launch roadmap and maintain its top-notched image with consumers. But few can tell what will happen when Jobs’ vision expires and when Cook will have to steer the company according to his own vision for it – for Apple the saying is true, only time will tell.

Smartphones Manufactured in China Revisited

admin — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 01:00:31 +0000

A wide variety of smartphones are being manufactured in China in an effort to compete with the more popular western brands of mobile phones on the market. However, some people are reluctant about purchasing these mobile phones, because they question their quality, their features, their durability, and the fact that some of them are clones of branded phones. This article is aimed at addressing these issues and tries to answer questions about smartphones manufactured in China in a simple manner that is easy to understand.

When purchasing mobile phones, most people first ask about their quality. Anybody wanting to buy a mobile phone will of course want a phone that is worth the money they paid for it. With mobile phones manufactured in China, you can expect satisfactory quality for prices that are cheaper than what the more popular mobile phone brands are able to offer. Also, many Chinese mobile phone manufacturing companies are still in the developing stages, so we can expect that improvements in the quality of their products are yet to come if the company wants to be able to compete in the market with branded phones. Though the quality of branded phones is still better than that of Chinese smartphones, Chinese smartphones are a good alternative for when you are looking for an affordable, good quality mobile phone.

A phone’s features can help to differentiate it from every other mobile phone. Every phone has a unique set of features that distinguish it from other phones. This is aimed at making people interested in purchasing a particular phone. Mobile phones manufactured in China try not to be left behind with regards to the features that they offer. Most Chinese phones come with a “dual SIM” feature that makes it possible for one phone to have two SIM cards from different networks, thus, eliminating the cost of having to buy a second phone for a second SIM card. Also, many phones manufactured in China have the same capabilities and features that branded phones have, though, again, they are not quite as refined as the features of branded products.

The durability of a mobile phone is a quality people are drawn to, especially for those who use mobile phones on a regular basis in their everyday lives. Smartphones can be used to browse the internet, making them more convenient to use them on a daily basis as compared to setting up a laptop or turning on a desktop PC for the same purpose. Some phones manufactured in China lack the assurance of durability because of the absence of a company website or customer support and the lack of dedicated repair centers. However, because these companies are just starting up, it can be expected that improvements in their customer support will become available to their customers in the near future as the resources they need to be able to provide the requested support grow and become more available to them.

There are also phones manufactured in China that are replicas of branded phones, like the iPhone. Most people regard them as either being fakes or as being nothing more than simplistic imitations. Chinese manufacturers often skip the procedure employed by manufacturers of branded phones of researching and testing the design and appearance of a phone to create a unique look that will attract customers, because it allows them to cut development costs. The problem lies in the fact that some people mistakenly expect these clones to operate in the same way as the original branded phones do, even if they are explicitly designed not to operate in that manner. They may have the same looks, but they will often come with an entirely different set of features and specifications.

To sum it all up, smartphones are still a practical choice when you buy from China if you are trying to save money. Though they may not always be at par with branded phones on the market, they are still a good alternative because they offer satisfactory quality for your money’s worth.
