Can nslookup a Domain, But Cannot Ping the Domain

I came across a really weird issue with my little sister's computer today and thought I would share my experience to see if anyone else has experienced something similar or perhaps might have a solution for the issue. For the moment her computer looks like it will have to be formatted and have the OS reinstalled, though I would rather not have to do that. Her computer is running Windows XP … Continue Reading »

My iRefurbished iPod Nano

My iRefurbished iPod Nano

Now I have tried a few MP3 players out there and I have had nothing that has come close to the feel and durability of the Apple iPod Nano. Granted they may not be entirely durable but the ease of use has not been matched by another MP3 player in my opinon. Some of you might have remembered an older post of mine when I received a 4GB Apple iPod Nano … Continue Reading »

Sony Ericsson Unveils 8.1 Megapixel Camera Phone

I have been looking at various cellphones lately (recently did a review on the Sony Ericsson K850i) and I have been recently informed that Sony Ericsson has unveiled the first ever 8.1 megapixel camera phone. That's right a cellphone that currently out does the resolution of my current digital camera, though not by much. The new C905 Cyber-shotâ„¢ from Sony Ericsson allows consumers around the world to capture and share vivid … Continue Reading »

Sony Ericsson W580i Camera Test

Sony Ericsson W580i Camera Test

Today I decided to walk to the local Subway (Eat Fresh) to pick up myself a tasty 12 inch sub for my dinner and since the weather was decent I thought I would take my new Sony Ericsson W580i and test out the 2.0 Mega Pixel camera that is built into it. Now I am not expecting the greatest in quality for a 2.0 MP camera phone but it will definitely … Continue Reading »

Sony Ericsson W580i First Impression

Sony Ericsson W580i First Impression

I've been wanting to get a new cellphone for some time now and thought it would be a good time just to jump in and get a phone. Sure I researched a bit between the phones that are available and people's opinions about them but I also had to take into account my budget for a new phone. I am a customer of Rogers Wireless (yea there are goods and bads) … Continue Reading »

Apple iPod Nano 3rd Generation: A Bit Quirky

Apple iPod Nano 3rd Generation: A Bit Quirky

My girlfriend (Robyn) received an Apple iPod Nano (3rd generation) for her birthday back in October and has never gotten the chance to use it. Why? Unfortunately she does not own a computer (which isn't a bad thing) so she hasn't been able to load any music on it. Now the quirk I found with this particular Nano is that when I went to go plug it into my computer via … Continue Reading »

Beware of Interac PIN-Pads

As more people make the move to electronic forms of payment, buyer beware! Well not really, just be careful with using your debt (interac) bank card. Recently my little sister was a victim of such a electronic theft. It has been happening more often it seems and for it to happen to someone close to me it can be a bit nerve racking. My sister (Katie) told me that when she … Continue Reading »

Why I Wont Have An Apple MacBook Air

Why I Wont Have An Apple MacBook Air

As many people out there know, Apple has released their newest innovative laptop the MacBook Air. This insanely thin laptop looks pretty cool and I definitely would love to own one but I know it would drive me insane if I had the $1700US to spend on it. Though the more I look at it the more it would cost for me to own one. The one thing that bugs … Continue Reading »

Which Cell Phone Would You Pick

Which Cell Phone Would You Pick

It is time that I look for a new cell phone. My current phone, Motorola Razr, has lasted me roughly two years and it is time to upgrade. Why would I need to upgrade? Well that answers are simple. When I am talking with someone on it the internal speaker vibrates against the case so it is hard to hear the other people. The buttons are sounding funny when you … Continue Reading »
