Gadget Advisor : CUTTING THROUGH THE CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGIES

KUMAGCOW Website Reviews: Gadget Advisor

You sometimes come to a point in your life when you know ZERO about a certain technically advanced device (computer hardware, software, gadgets, tech news) and you have to ask someone who knows about it. This is where Gadget Advisor comes in.

The best of the best products are reviewed, tested and openly available for comments on the site. Handpicked by the site's administrator, you can't go wrong if you plan to purchase devices that are recommended. I read some of the featured gadgets they have on the site.

Do you remember losing your precious TV and entertainment system's remote control and you can't find a replacement for it because it's either unavailable or not manufactured anymore? A fine brand in computer peripherals Logitech launched their own universal remote control. Now we can use this device to most branded DVR's, VCR's, TV's and audio peripherals. Even with the range of media players in the market, Gadget Advisor recommends DViCo TViX M-6500A network media player. This is the best one reviewed. It supports WMV9, WMV-HD, DIVX, XVid, HDV, MKV, H.264, VOB (DVD layouts), ISO, MP3, WMA, FLAC, WavPack, PCM, DTS so you would not get tired of playing anything the whole year round. This is one perfect gift for your tech savvy husband this yuletide season. I better get one myself! Haha!

The site also has some pretty interesting reviews for online backup services. The recommendation for Mozy Pro as the premier one is nice because they never held back in telling readers what pro's and con's the other services had. This brand was better in terms of data transfer speed, software features and service capabilities. Who wouldn't want to make jobs easier anyway right? So if you plan to get to know what to look for the next time you visit electronic shops and purchase the best one for your home, make sure you pass by Gadget Advisor. You'll never go wrong!

KUMAGCOW Game Reviews; UTOPIA

Other kingdoms say OUCH when the snake bites! Arrgh!

UTOPIA a world unlike any other ; is the catchy phrase you see in this online web based game by SWIRVE.COM. I've been playing this for ages... (was playing Genesis for years!) but like any game, sometimes I do okay.. sometimes I don't. You better visit the site if you haven't played it yet... this site won People's Voice webby awards for 2002 and 2003 as the gaming site of the year.

We're all mere mortals I know... but in this online browser based game, we can be anything we wish to be... something like role playin.. I'm in a kingdom called Kingdom of the Snake right now and it's fairly doing good in Wars... if you were there the last "age" (which is the game duration) you'll probably notice we're doing much better now... more better players coming in and activity is becoming higher... the game takes turns so you may have to login more than twice a day to keep your province alive... and in this age we stand Wars: 3 - Wins: 2. It's just enough, now we have to plan for a better strategy because we already are preparing for bigger kingdoms to war with. It's not that violent (no don't get that idea!) but it'll keep you to your feet because even if you go home or you go to school/work you still sometimes wonder "what happened to my kingdom?!" its a lil addictive and haunting.

So if you plan to waste time online (LOLZ) and enjoy conquering, warring, casting spells, meteors and fireballing people... then don't forget to play Utopia @ http://games.swirve.com/utopia

I wanna say a big HI to my KD mates btw! Good job last war! ^_^
Let's do a better job next war! Wraaaaah!

The greatest director of all time Steven Spielberg is in transition to leave Paramount to get to a joint venture with an Indian based company and get the freedom he needs sources tell all from Los Angeles studios on Thursday.

He plans to team up with Reliance ADA Group to form a new film venture as mentioned today by Executives of Paramount Pictures. Spielberg directed "Jaws," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "E.T: The Extraterrestial" and the "Indiana Jones" as some of his greatest works and franchise. Steven Spielberg and India’s Reliance Big Entertainment have reached an agreement worth as much as US$1.5 billion, no wonder! hahah. Goodluck! and I hope he still makes those beautiful films as he did in the past decade. I grew up with most of it of course! ^_^

Bailout Approved and Signed : Now We'll Wait!

Now that Congress has acted upon this particular issue giving the US government the tools necessary to bring some stability into the marketplace, the wait begins for it's effect. Bush stated that without this, the country would have crashed their market placing not just them but the whole world in chaos. Being the largest that they are, most probably that will happen if it were not for this resolution.

Obama and McCain even got their act going and helped in this financial crisis. That's American enough! I mean its a good thing they did it, it was fair enough for both ends. Now Americans can be assured that their hard earned taxes are put to good use because their package included safety measures that would make sure everything gets accounted for. Some are afraid that only a chosen few businesses might earn with this and would not benefit the American public. John Boehner of Ohio said lawmakers knew that if they failed to act, the crisis probably would worsen and "put us in a slump the likes of which most of us have never seen", I guess nobody would wanna see that huh?! This bailout ensures federally insured deposits to rise from the original $100,000 to $250,000 making the ceiling value more viable for adjustments. America must take note of 33 Democrats and 25 Republicans switched from opposition to support which helped pass this bill which were conferenced call and persuaded by Obama and probably McCain as well. They even had groupies in the house, that comes with the newbies too. I just don't know if this will be a legacy BUSH will be proud of.
