Jane Austen Joins Facebook With Rogues and Romances Game

July 13, 2012 by noemi

We’ve all had our doses of fun following dead authors, revolutionaries, and other celebrities on various social networking platforms. They may not be in this world anymore, but they live on, not only through their work, but also courtesy of witty people who took it upon themselves to take the persona of whichever celebrity.

For fans of Jane Austen, arguably one of the most popular authors of her era, social networking is nothing new. She already has a presence on Twitter, but this time, Jane Austen enters the social world via a different route: Facebook gaming.

Take Instagram to New Heights With Insta-WP

July 12, 2012 by noemi

Since it was launched in October of 2010, Instagram has become a household name. Even though the app was originally created for only iOS devices, it was still able to achieve a wide reach. Of course, when the company decided to expand and enter the Android market, the users of Instagram exploded.

Naturally, there are the haters. There will always be haters. They can say all sorts of negative things about Instagram, its filters, its users, and so on, but no one can really deny that the app is fun, right?

Obviously, I am an Instagram user, albeit not a very regular one. I have it installed on both the iPhone and the iPad, but I just seem to suck at timing, so often, I miss out on good photo opportunities.

In any case, if you are an Instagrammer, you would love this discovery: Insta-WP. [Read more…] about Take Instagram to New Heights With Insta-WP

I don’t know if you are aware of it, but Amazon has maintained a steady place in the tablet market. In fact, it ranks highly in second place, thanks to its Kindle line of e-readers.

You may say whatever you want about the magic of the iPad (I will not disagree), but if you are in the market for a device that might not be as magical but work just as perfectly for certain things, then the Kindle is no doubt an excellent device. Even more so when Amazon launched the Kindle Fire. [Read more…] about Kindle Fire Going on a Diet to Get Slimmer

Spike: iPhone Protective Case AND Real Keyboard

July 9, 2012 by noemi

Purchasing a new gadget never stops there, does it? Whether you’re talking about a tablet, a laptop, or a phone, you will probably spend some more money on purchasing accessories.

I don’t know about you, but one of the first things that I buy is a protective case. Actually, more often than not, the purchase of the case is done right after buying the gadget. If you’re going to spend a considerable sum on a gadget, you might as well spend a little more on something that will protect it, right? This is especially true for something as expensive as the iPhone!

Now, how about if we add a little something to the iPhone case? How about a real keyboard, the kind that you can feel? [Read more…] about Spike: iPhone Protective Case AND Real Keyboard

USB Typewriter Computer Keyboard

July 6, 2012 by noemi

There’s something about old school typewriters that make people (of my generation, at least) happy. The clickety clacking sound that the metal makes as it strikes the sheet of paper rolled up against the cylinder…the unmistakable ding when you “hit return”…the tactile experience of actually pounding the keys…all this, and more, make the typewriting experience a totally different one from what young kids know these days.

Of course, it cannot be denied that laptops and tablets are more convenient and provide so much more. However, if you have those nostalgic moments like I ~~more than~~ occasionally do, you will love the idea of having an actual typewriter keyboard to pound away on.
