alot of people these days have wireless routers.... which is great as alot of our mobile devices have wifi these days. But when it comes to connect two computers wirelessly it is not the best way. This is what I have learned. The reason being is that these so called " wireless adapters" which allows pc# 2 to connect to the router via usb are very fragile and the one I had for the cpu in the basement has broken on numerous occasions both physical and internal. Mind you , there are built in adapters in many of Todays computers and portable devices. However Ethernet , no matter how outdated it looks, is the way to go. Reason being is that ethernet is so much more durable and is also faster. This makes a whole lot of diffrence if your an avid online gamer. and range is no excuse also for getting one as ethernet cables can go as far as 100 ft if you look hard enough. Thats about all i have to say for now. Now if you can excuse me ive got to go and get my hands on a 30 ft ethernet cable

what owners manuals are all about
the other day i was reading the owners manual for a 2001 - 2007 dodge caravan. I cant help but notice all the little warning labels that come with pretty much every car. There is alot of instructions on how to operate the electrical components and such of the car. What do automakers think we are....dummies? Seriously when was the last time you had to consult the owners manual for a car to operate the a/c .....probably not as most cars share the same ac layout and all ( except with those with in dash computers which handle everything). Some of the safety information may seem obvious but sadly some people are dumb enough to do stuff that you shouldnt do such as letting a kid under 12 sit in the front passenger seat where there is an airbag. However owners manuals are useful if you want to find the SAE ra5ting for your oil or how to operate the feautures that are not so common these days like hands free calling. So if i were to make an owners manual for a car i would make two of them, one with the uncommon feautures and the oil one, and the other one which will be called " Health and safety for Dummies"

the long awaited LG eve review
as i am typing this i am on the road enroute to back home. i am so bored so to pass time i decided to do a review of my lg eve. ( my bad for grammatical errors i may make during this review.)
On the outside the eve is like any other smartphone with a touch screen and keyboard. you have your home and back buttons.
the keyboard is fairly easy to use if you dont care about grammar.....hence said grammatical errors.
the eve runs android 1.5 for most rogers customers.
although android 2.2 would be awesome im not sure if the hardware is up for it. for one thing you only have abbout 113 mb of ram when only the basic processes are running. plus when you do start running processes, android becomes a memory hog. furthermore this also reduces your battery life significantly. so 2.2 is out of question for now.
as far as other hardware goes the phone sports a 5 mp camera ( beat that iphone 3GS) and a qwerty keyboard about the same size as the phone itself.
all in all the lg eve is a good smartphone for those who dont use it much and dont care about looks but rather functionality.
now if you will excuse me i have a bit of work to do on my phone. ;)
