Headphone Tips


If you are looking a waterproof ( for sweating),pocket sized and in-ear for nice fit ear phones.Here is I would say to you:Most in-ear head phones are designed for sweat.Do not go dunking them for swimming pool though they are not waterproof.For best fit make sure you get in-ear head phones that provide different ear attachments for different sized ears.Lastly,if you want an external volume control you need a headphone with remote control.I see one in apple but it is pricey!

Digicam Megapixels

My digicam is only 7.2megapixels.How about its memory card? Is it 7.2megapixels too?I gonna tell you guys how to distinguish the megapixel of your memory card. The megapixel ratings determine print size but more megapixel do not mean better quality.Five megapixel can already produce 8.5x6.5 inch prints.Zoom levels can only cause noise on images.You have to ignore this figure and look at optical zoom ranges instead.

Flexible Phone

I am reading yesterday a magazine and one article caught my eye.The title is "The Phone that can Smell" .amazing?? This is ultra high technology phone I ever heed.As I continue reading its nokia morph.mmhhh..I just thought Nokia Nseries is the latest model.This phone looks like a credit card sized mobile with a wireless earpiece.That rolls ups up and clamps stylishly around your wrist.It covers handy stuff like microscopic solar panels,self-cleaning surfaces and talking sensors that process the surrounding environment and then tell you about it.interesting!! But,I don't even tried to see the price I know its classy and I am very practical person now a days.

How to Check the Car Engine When Buying a Used Car?

Today, we have to be practical in different ways.Buying a brand new vehicle is too expensive if your budget is limited.But, if you get a brand new one thru bank loans you can. The risk is you have to pay it for a couple of years and it is also a burden in our budget line.Having a used car is very wise provided you have a guarantee that you will not bring your car to a shop after one or two weeks run. In buying a second hand you have know first the car history records.Some cars may have been flooded others were written off by insurance due to serious accident,some may be altered mileage so on...worthless to buy. Then check the car engine :






1.Check the oil - park the car on the level spot,turn the engine off and set the hand brake.Locate the engine oil dipstick and pull it out.If you find the oil is completely black suspect is lack of maintenance or excessive oil consumption.In that case the engine would have problem in the future.

2.Look for leaks-check the lower part of the engine or transmission.Turned the engine off and try to open the engine oil cap and look inside the oil filler hole.If you see a lot of black oil sludge build up inside the engine it means the either the engine oil hasn't been chnaged for a long time or has been overheated.Avoid buying such kind of car.

3.Check the oil pressure - check the engine pressure on cold engine.Start the engine and look at the low oil pressure warning lamp or oil pressure gauge in the instrument panel.The time between the engine start and you note oil pressure at the instrument panel should be not more than 1 to 2 seconds.

4.Check the anti-freeze level in the overflow tank-antifreeze should not have a spot of engine oil and level of the overflow tank should be between "min" and "max" marks.

5.Check the smoke- start the engine ,let it idle for 5 to 10 mins. Then someone to press more than a half way down in the accelerator for 2 to 3 secs.while you look at the smoke from the exhaust.Normally there should be no smoke at all.

6.Listen for noises when the engine is running-knocking or tapping or rattling noises indicate excessive wear of internal parts.

7.Look at the instrument panel- there should be no warning of lights such as"low oil pressure" , "low oil level" ,"overheating" , " check engine " etc..

8.Test Drive - try to test drive as long as you can.You may have to accelerate or decelerate.

9.Mechanical Inspection - before buying have the vehicle inspected by the experienced mechanic of your choice just .
