The Saitek Expressions Keyboard, Butterfly Pink Color
Will This Be Your “Type?”

There are so many laptop models these days. Some of them are still as expensive as they were 5 years ago. But with each passing day, more and more budget-friendly laptops are being made available in the market. The Asus EEE PC series as well as the Acer Aspire one series top the list.
The problem with these inexpensive, subcompact laptops, however, is that it’s such a hellish experience to type on them. Because their builds are small, their keyboards are small as well. This is not only true for people with large fingers. This is also true for people with delicate and slender fingers. I’ve seen 12 year old girls complain about how difficult it is to type in one of these budget laptops.
The solution?
Bring your own keyboard!
USB keyboards abound, and there is one that’s sure to be comfortable for your fingers.
One such USB keyboard that wishes to compete for your attention is the Saitek Expressions Keyboard.
The Saitek Expressions Keyboard packs all the features that you’d expect from a typing tool, plus a few extras that may surprise you. These are:
-
A sleek and sexy body. The Saitek Expressions Keyboard is ultra slim and has rounded edges that makes it stand out from the crowd.
-
Soft touch keys. This means farewell to noisy typing. Even if your strokes are heavy and even if you’re typing right beside the baby’s crib, you won’t risk waking her up.
-
High precision keys. The slightest stroke will register a hit. There is no need punching the same key over and over again just to register a single letter.
-
Built-in hotkeys for a variety of functions, like volume control, email browsing, media tracking, and others.
-
Adjustable angle to help you find your comfort zone when typing.
-
Plug-and-play convenience. No need for a complicated installation process.
And guess what?
The Saitek Expressions Keyboard comes in pink – butterfly pink to be exact! The shade is beautiful. It’s darker than most tones of pink, but such only makes it more compatible with most shades of the said color.
The only thing going against the Saitek Expressions Keyboard is that it still uses wires. There are a number of USB keyboards out there that use wireless technology, doing away with the intrusive cables that often hamper the typing experience.
But the Saitek Expressions Keyboard comes in glorious pink, and for most of us, that the keyboard isn’t wireless is more than a fair tradeoff for its choice of color.

The Lenova Ideapad S10 1GB 160GB Pink
That “Legally Blonde” Laptop For The Masses
Want a pink laptop?
Well, the Apple iBook doesn’t come in that color, and even if it does, it will be way too expensive for most people’s budgets.
The Sony Vaio is an excellent choice, as well, but it’s not really what we can describe as affordable.
Other options? Most don’t come in pink while other simply don’t have the history of reliability that the more established brands possess.
But wait. Don’t lose hope just yet.
Lenova, one of the leading names in consumer electronics, has released a laptop for the masses, and yes, it comes in marvelous pink. The Ideapad S10 1GB 160GB Pink is a dream come true for students and casual computer users. It comes with a plethora of features, and more importantly, it comes at a price that won’t burn your finances.
At less than $400, the Lenova Ideapad S10 1GB 160GB Pink can be considered a steal. Consider the following features that can easily make this laptop the envy of many similar items, including those published by the more renowned brands:
- 1.6 Ghz processor. Not as powerful as the dual cores of newer laptops, but not a slouch either. It is enough for the usual tasks that a computer is expected to fulfill, as well as games that aren’t graphic-intensive.
- 512 MB RAM, upgradable to 1.5 GB. Not bad, as well. May have difficulties running Windows Vista, but why on God’s green earth would you want to install that OS, right?
- A total of 160 GB storage space. This is quite a sizable built-in capacity for a laptop.
- Built-in 4-in-1 card reader for easy synching of your other gadgets.
- 10.2” TFT LCD screen, anti-glare, capable of widescreen displays, and has a max resolution of 1024×600.
- Intel GMA 950 Dynamic Video Memory Technology 3.0 graphics processor. Not really apt for the games of today, but the Lenova Ideapad S10 isn’t really meant as a gaming rig. The graphics processor is more than enough for the tasks that this laptop is built for.
- Built-in 1.3 megapixel camera.
Despite not having cutting edge components, the Lenova Ideapad S10 1GB 160GB Pink is no slouch. And for its price, it’s a definite bargain indeed!
However, do be forewarned about some issues regarding this laptop model:
- Battery life is suspect. Some report normal expectancy, while others complain of abnormally short service per charge.
- Keyboard can be very small for big fingers.
- Heats up easily because of a weak fan. May need an external cooling source.
Also, some owners claim that the pink casing of the Lenova Ideapad S10 1GB 160GB accumulates dirt quite easily.
But hey, that’s a given and it doesn’t really matter. It’s pink and that’s what’s important!
The Lenova Ideapad S10 1GB 160GB Pink is an excellent purchase. You’d be hard pressed to find a brand new laptop of a similar value for the same price.

Replacing a Laptop AC Adapter
Let’s face it, AC adapters are not the most durable of laptop accessories. Everyone has experienced the inconvenience of an adapter malfunctioning, whether it be due to overheating, bent or broken pins, or tweaked wires. But how best to go about replacing a broken adapter? Read on.
Diagnosis
Your laptop should have an LED indicator and some sort of outlet icon on the task bar to let you know that the power cable is plugged in. If the cable is plugged in but the light isn’t on and the icon doesn’t show up, there’s a problem. Check that the cable is connected to the adapter box and the adapter is plugged into the wall. Try switching outlets to make sure the problem isn’t simply due to a faulty outlet. Also, make sure that the cable is not being bent or pinched. If none of these things are to blame, your adapter is most likely broken.
Decision
Now it is time to decide whether to purchase a direct replacement – usually a more expensive but more reliable choice – or to choose from one of many third-party adapter options. If you choose to order a direct replacement, all that is required is to make sure that the item numbers match. This number is almost always located on a sticker on the underside of the adapter box.
If you are ordering a third-party adapter, things tend to get a bit more complicated.
The item number is still key to determining which adapters will work with your laptop, though there is often a lot of overlap between models with some adapters working for a wide range of laptops and some working for very few. For example, laptop battery part number ac-160 is compatible with a wide range of Compaq Presario laptops, including the 2200, 2800, and a wide range of M, X, and V lines. There are many databases available online with which to look up AC adapter compatibility information, and going into your local dealer to inquire in person is always a good option. If possible, it is a good idea to purchase an adapter that will function with the widest range available. Even better if you own more than one laptop and can find an adapter that works for them all! Just be sure that the adapter’s voltage equals or exceeds the voltage required for the laptop to run; Otherwise, you’ve just ordered an expensive, unsightly paperweight.
Alternative?
A good alternative is to purchase a universal AC adapter, as they come with an assortment of tips to fit into multiple brands and models of notebooks, and they have switches to adjust the voltage as necessary. This way, you can pretty much always be sure that your adapter will work.
Conclusion
There is no simple solution when purchasing an AC adapter, as all laptops have different requirements. Your item number and voltage requirements are the keys to success in the wide world of AC adapters. Keep these things in mind and you can’t go wrong. Good luck!

Hey Apple Give Us Our Pink iPhone!
3 Alternatives To Buying A Non-Existent Pink Unit
Trust me, I tried.
As early as the iPhone 2g, I have already emailed Apple – countless times in fact – about releasing a pink unit.
Just imagine… a pink iPhone.
How glorious the world can be! A phone that will perfectly represent our sense of style and our taste in fashion! A phone that will symbolize our preferred lifestyle! A phone that will paint our lives in a wonderful hue every time our fingers slide across its screen!
For many women, a pink iPhone is the pinnacle of techno-fashion. It just screams perfection. It’s the ideal match of form, style and function. Pink and iPhones… the heavens above intended them to be together!
And I know I’m not the only one who’s been clamoring for a pink iPhone.
Alas, our pleas have fallen on deaf ears. Years after the very first iPhone was released, and more than a year after the revolutionary iPhone 3g was introduced to the market, there is still no sign of a pink variety of the device.
Rumors have swirled in recent months that a pink iPhone is on its way. But they remain rumors until this point in time. The talks about the pink iPhone being released in time for Valentine’s Day of 2009 never materialized, and people like us are slowly losing hope.
Hence, us desperate souls have to resort to other means just to get our pink iPhone fix.
One such alternative is, without a doubt, the simplest of the lot. There are many silicon casings for our beloved iPhones, and a lot of them come in pink. Take, for example, the Marware Sport Grip, a product that comes in pink and which seeks to protect your iPhone from wear and tear. Aside from a scratch-free unit, you’d also be able to create the illusion of having a pink iPhone… at least from afar.
Another alternative are decal stickers. Decal stickers simulate the look and feel of the actual surface of the iPhone. If expertly implemented, these stickers won’t look like stickers at all. They will look like the actual surface of the iPhone straight from the factory. And yes, there are pink decal stickers.

The third alternative is quite popular these days. ColorWare is a service that customizes gadgets so that they can assume the color you want them to assume – pink included, of course. ColorWare customizes laptops, MP3 players, gaming consoles, digital cameras, iPods, cellular phones, and yes, iPhones. Just select a design, send over your unit, and in just a matter of days, you’d have it back in the color you want it to exhibit.
These options are our best bets until such time when Apple finally listens to our demands for a pink iPhone.

When I get home I’ll show you all about it on my Flip Ultra!
Every woman has items which she considers to be in-purse essentials. Most will include some make-up, tissues, breath mints, hand lotion, car keys, wallet, emergency sewing kits, selection of favorite candies and a… camcorder??

Imagine yourself shopping with friends for the perfect outfit and wish to see what you look like in each and every piece of potential clothing, not just for appearances, but to see how fabric moves, clings and fits on your body. The possibilities don’t end there; imagine knowing that you can capture precious fleeting moments at any time, anywhere.
You could also record spontaneous roadside site seeing experiences, a child’s first ever homerun, a teary eyed brides dress fitting, the interior and exterior of your dream model home or even a tour of local gardens and green houses all of which will supply you with an image and few minutes of video to reference once you are home.
Camcorders are no longer limited to family vacations and special occasions; they can be used to make every day life easier, more enjoyable and can make sharing your daily events fun and entertaining!
You will wonder how you ever got along without it!

The Pink Wacom Favo Hello Kitty Pen Tablet
Digital Sketching Made Fun With The Mascot Of Pink

Have you tried drawing an image with your mouse?
Hard, isn’t it? Not only does it require artistic talents, it also demands a steady hand, an accurate stroke, and precise eye-hand coordination. Miss one of these requirements and you’ll just end up with a barely recognizable image, guaranteed.
Hence, manufacturers of electronic items came up with pen tablets that you can simply connect to your PC. It works like a mouse, if you’d picture the mouse to be shaped like a pen. Unlike the mouse, however, the tablet itself senses the motion of the pen and transmits the corresponding lines or strokes to the PC for accurate rendition.
Pen tablets have become essential tools for digital artists these days. Instead of sketching on a piece of paper and scanning the same to get a digital representation they can use as a backbone for virtual inks and colors, artists can create a sketch directly on the PC. Pen tablets have indeed become invaluable.
But the important question is, do they come in pink?
Well, pink lovers all over the world rejoice! Wacom – the world’s most popular brand of pen tablet products – has released the special edition Favo Hello Kitty model.
Now, people in the Western World don’t know, and may never know, what “Favo” means (probably “fabulous?”) but everyone is familiar with Hello Kitty! She’s the epitome of pink fever, and her face on a pen tablet is sure to make it spectacular indeed!
Aside from Hello Kitty, the Wacom Favo Hello Kitty pen tablet boasts of the following features:
- A 127.6×92.8mm tablet which is big enough to provide sufficient workspace for any task.
- Windows and Mac compatibility – a rarity these days.
- Cordless technology. No need for unwanted wires getting in the way of your lines and strokes.
- Battery-free. The PC itself will supply the power that the pen tablet will need.
- Precise correspondence. You won’t have to worry about wayward dots or lines appearing on screen. You will see exactly what you will draw.
Yes, there is a pink pen tablet in the form of the Wacom Favo Hello Kitty! This is the good news!
The bad news?
The Wacom Favo Hello Kitty is only available in Japan and only for a limited number of copies: 10,000. Considering that these babies hit the store last November of 2008, and for a bargain of price that’s equivalent to around $85 US, the Wacom Favo Hello Kitty is sure to have sold out by now.
But don’t lose hope just yet.
Thanks to the wonders of the internet, some units may still be found in import shops like PlayAsia.com and YesAsia.com, as well as auction sites like eBay and Yahoo Auctions, albeit at higher prices.
Hey, if there’s a will (and a willingness to spend), there’s a way right?
