If you are in the market for a prepaid cell phone, then you might have noticed the phones from Straight Talk Wireless, one of the most popular prepaid phone providers available today.  Straight Talk recently released two new smart phones (yes smart phones on a prepaid plan) and they have gotten pretty good acclaim.  Well, I would say that the Nokia E71 has been a little better received than the Nokia 6790, the second phone that this company released recently. 

Nokia E71 for Straight Talk is a legitimate smart phone and will allow you check your email (from multiple accounts if you have them), browse the web, of course makes calls and send text messages, and download apps from the Nokia Ovi app store (some are free and some cost money).  In addition you can use the voice guided navigation feature.  And all of this is included in the Straight Talk Unlimited prepaid plan for per month.

You get unlimited talk, text, web, 411, and navigation.  It’s one of the best priced phone plans out there and you get to use the Blackberry-like Nokia E71.  It has a nice look, a good screen, and a full qwerty keyboard that makes web browsing and sending text messages super easy and fun.

Have a look at the Nokia E71 from Straight Talk if you’re looking for a high end cell phone and want to cut out some of the money you pay on your contract plan.  By the way, prepaid means you don’t have to sign a contract.  I like that.

There is a myth that a cell phone can cause a jetliner to crash, and that myth has it’s basis in pure fact.  The reason why cell phone use is prohibited on airplanes is that they can not only interfere with avionics systems, but they are popularly used by terrorists as detonation devices for bombs.  Therefore, excluding cell phone use within the confines of an airplane while in flight could counter an attack much like 9/11, Lockerbie, Vancouver or other related plane crashes caused by maliciousness and nefarious people.  When the cell phone attached to the bomb rings, the bomb explodes, and the plane comes crashing back down to earth.

With airport screening still in a relative logjam as far as properly searching all stowed baggage is concerned, sneaking high-tech bombs made with specialized explosives that could get by the sniffer dogs and other screening methods for finding bombs and otherincendiary devices on planes.  Of course, the most susceptible areas to structural damage on a plane are in the belly, the fuel tanks and cockpit.  Keeping cell phones, smart phones and PDAs off of planes is a great start in eliminating the threat of cell phone detonated bombs on airplanes.  However, as soon as technology can beat the latest threat, there is a new latest threat, and that taxes the government agencies tasked with eliminating such threats.

Can cell phones cause airplanes to crash wihout setting off a bomb?  Yes, it is possible, as possible as your cell phone turning off, or changing the settings of a patient’s life-saving machinery in a hospital’s intensive care unit.  Even though the chances of it happening are so infintesimal that you would win the lottery two weeks in a row before it happened, cell phones do pose an infinestinal threat to airline safety, and are therefore disallowed during the flight.  Read more...

There are many choices of notebooks and sometimes it is hard to find the appropriate notebook that represents the true value for money. Deciding whether to buy a full size laptop or ultra weight notebook is a common problem for many. So before making any purchase, considering certain factors of the portable notebook helps in determining the right notebook.

The first factor to be considered is whether the user truly needs a lightweight notebook, and do these sleek and attractive laptops suit their working system. If computing is done in the office or home mostly, understanding the benefits of using a portable, tiny notebook is difficult, mainly because the full size laptop, with its easy to use keyboard and large screen is more convenient.

On the contrary, a busy on the go executive may find the lightweight laptops appropriate to check emails and other applications constantly. In fact, notebooks were designed keeping in mind the road warriors who frequently travel, and the added advantages of a cell phone that is web enabled, with email access, internet surfing, calendar applications and much more altogether weighing only a few pounds.

The second factor worth considering is their low prices. A bit of shopping makes it possible to find lightweight notebooks for few hundred dollars such that they are affordable. Of course, shopping carefully is a must so that a machine featuring a solid processor, plenty of memory and enough extras are purchased making it a true replacement for a laptop or a traditional desktop computer.

The third factor worth considering is the speed of the processor as lightweight notebooks are less costly in comparison to the traditional laptops, and this is done by skimping the model as well as the processor speed. Hence, looking for a built-in solid and speed processor is the main priority, regardless of its size is worth bearing in mind while shopping.  Read more...
