How much do you love your laptop (or iPad)? Can you count the ways?

I don’t know about you, but while these gadgets are just that – gadgets – they do cost a considerable sum of money, and I think that it is worth investing in accessories that will keep them (relatively) safe from normal wear and tear. While we may have all intentions of making sure that our gadgets do not get scratched, bumped, or suffer from a hard fall, there is such a thing called “accident”.

That’s why iPad and laptop cases, covers, and sleeves are so popular. After investing so much on a device, spending a little more on protection is not only understandable but also expected.

Do you have a bun in the oven? Or do you know someone who does? It might be time to let go of that cell phone in the next several months!

We’ve heard of stories – many true and just as many false – about the adverse effects of radio waves on the human body. Ever since mobile phones came out ages ago (or what seems like ages ago), people have been making speculations about how bad they can be for us. Of course, even those who conducted scientifically sound studies could not make solid conclusions if only because the effects might not be evident decades later. [Read more…] about Pregnant?
