TrackID™ is a feature available in most of the newer range of mobile phones from Sony Ericsson. It’s a feature that allows you to record a few seconds of a song using your mobile, and get track, artist and album information sent to you in seconds. While it’s a handy tool to help you [...]
Most people who own iPods would probably have iTunes installed to transfer/organise music on their iPod and most likely be coerced to use iTunes as their music player on their computer (it’s so tightly integrated that Apple labels it as iPod + iTunes, and apple.com/ipod goes to apple.com/itunes).
Unfortunately, I absolutely loathe iTunes (slow and clunky) [...]

Got myself a iPAQ recently and I choose not to go down the converged smart phone-PDA route. It was a tough choice between an iPAQ rx4540 and an iPAQ rx5750. I settled for the rx4540 after much deliberation comparing the trade-offs in their various shortcommings. The rx4540 was small enough (size, price and features-to-cost ratio) [...]

Now the other piece of computer hardware which I got hold of recently is the Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000. Yes, I actually bought a M$ product. >:| I’ve procrastinated for months in getting a new keyboard even though the 2 year old Logitech standard keyboard keys have gotten really stiff requiring rather strong key [...]

For someone like me who uses the keyboard and mouse for nearly all of my waking hours, it’s probably pretty important to ensure the input devices I use are ergonomic. As I didn’t have a dedicated mouse at work and was using a Dell mouse (which was not even optical) taken from another machine, I [...]

MacGyver, the guy who could disarm a nucler warhead with 3 paper clips, some dentist floss, and a broken screwdriver; all while hacking into your wifi connection.
Ok…I’m not sure if he actually did that in the TV series, but I’m certain he has picked a couple of locks before. That is what I am about [...]

This is going to be my first mini-review (when I say “mini-review”, it’s really just a simple write-up). Anyway, I’ll try to be unbiased as possible to maintain the credibility of this article.
Yeah, it’s about the gadget that I’ve been using since last month, Sony Ericsson K800i. Yes, the previous hyperlink obviously isn’t just for [...]
