Selling and Making your Product on the Internet

If you plan on selling a product online, one of the main things you'll want to focus on is learning how to create a search engine friendly website so people can find your site. After all.... No traffic means no sales and definitely no profits.Don't ever try to sell a product online until you are sure your web host provides website creation and marketing support. People get so concerned with how their website design will look and how they are going to collect payments, setup their online shopping cart, etc. These days that's the easy part.What's more important is that you choose a web host that helps with online marketing(hp laptop batteries) so you don't end up with a store that receives zero visits.Selling products with a website is not just about creating your online store and letting your website sit out in cyberspace expecting people to stumble upon your site and buy something.It is absolutely crucial that you understand how to get your website ranked high in MSN, Google and Yahoo. This will be vital to your success and people often underestimate the importance of this. Most web hosts don't even help you with marketing. It's not in their business model to help you promote your site and help sell products. They are simply there to host it on their servers.So what happens is people often pay their hard-earned money to build this outstanding online store with a fancy design, and there isn't a visitor to be found. What they don't realize is that they've failed before they even began because they've chosen the wrong host.You won't fail if you follow my advice below. I am confident of this because I use this web host and recommend to everyone I know who wants to sell something on the Internet.Use Site Build It - No Other Host ComparesSite Build It is a web host committed to not only helping you build your website, but it shows you how to optimize it for the major search engines as well as build other traffic streams so you sell products.Go to Espow website and see how they differ the average web host. You'll quickly discover why 99% of the people that try to sell products do it wrong. If you choose Espow, you'll get it right the first time.Accepting Credit Cards From Your StoreAccepting credit cards is a must for online commerce. I recommend you use Paypal as your merchant. It's pretty easy to setup.With Paypal, you don't have to rent or purchase any equipment because they take the orders for you and then send your revenue directly to your bank account. They take a small percentage of every order you receive.This is MUCH more convenient than having to apply for a business license, rent out the equipment and handle all the orders yourself. PayPal makes it quick and easy.Creating and Selling an Information ProductAn information product (or infoproduct) is just what the name suggests. It's a product full of information. These days, many info products come in the form of eBooks -- which stands for "electronic books". This means your customer can download your book right from your web site and read it from their PC.eBooks are convenient because you don't have to worry about shipping and handling. Once you create it and upload it to your site, it's ready for instant download by your customers.With this method, you don't have to worry about shipping and handling costs, and your customers are happy because they can download their product as soon as the sale is made.An infoproduct can also come in the form of plain old information. You don't necessarily have to sell an ebook. If you have the knowledge on a certain subject that you'd like to share, you can still make money with pure content and affiliate programs.

Hewlett Packard Compaq Presario 2100

After I wrote the review on my HP Pavilion, I spent a lot of time with my sisters laptop, a Compaq Presario 2100. I was setting up a wireless router at my parents house and I was configuring her laptop to connect to it. I was having some issues (not related to the laptop but the wireless card) so I got to kick the tires on her laptop, comparing it to mine. I tried to not let sibling rivalry come into my judgements. As you may know, HP and Compaq merged businesses and now HP has sort of taken over the production of most the companies PC products (or is it the other way around? I dunno, I get it confused). Even though the Compaq Presario 2100 bears the Compaq name it is extremely similar to the HP Pavilion laptops. Features and support are very similar. Both products are good choices but I favor my HP Pavilion for various reasons that I’ll include in this review.

The Compaq Presario line is a little different from the Pavilion line in that the system can either be purchased off the shelf, preconfigured, or use get a more customized machine according to your needs. The laptop that I’m reviewing has the following basic setup (it is very similar to my HP Pavilion ze4430):

AMD Athlon XP-M 1800+

512 MB of PC2700 RAM

40 GB HDD

15" XGA TFT screen powered by an ATI video chip.

It is possible to have a built-in wireless adapter installed but this laptop did not have that configuration. It also came with a DVD/CR-RW drive which is almost the standard now with laptops. Who needs one of those portable DVD players when they have a laptop? It also had a 3.5" floppy drive, for what that’s worth. It has 2 USB ports (ver 1.1) but no firewire port. The other legacy ports are there, including an S-video out connector.

The screen seems to be extremely similar to my HP, it is a 15" screen with a resolution of 1024x768. It is driven by the same ATI Radeon Mobile IGP 320M. It doesn’t have it’s own dedicated memory, it shares up to 64 MB with the main memory, effectively reducing the total main memory to 448 MB. I know that some people would rather have dedicated video memory in addition to system memory but unless you will be doing a lot of graphic intensive applications (video editing, FPS games) you really won’t notice a big difference. The colors are crisp and clean. The angle that you can look at the screen without any distortion is pretty deep, which can be a good thing if you’re sharing the screen with a friend to watch a DVD but is bad if the guy sitting next to you in the airport just snuck a peek at your company’s classified documents. DVD playback is great as well.

The sound leaves a little bit to be desired. Unlike the HP and its Altec Lansing speakers, the Compaq Presario 2100 has a sound that is adequate but definetly isn’t high fidelity. CD playback (and MP3's) sound average at best. It isn’t horrible but it could be a lot better.

The keyboard and mouse (touchpad) are similar to the HP. While I raved on how much I loved the Synaptics touchpad installed on my HP, the one installed on the Compaq Presario 2100 is different, in a bad way. The buttons are positioned in a different area with respect to the touch pad and they feel like they are positioned too far away. The actual touchpad (and scroll wheel area) feel comfortable, but I would still rather have the buttons closer to the touchpad. The keys feel a little stickier than the HP keys but they are quiet and comfortable.

The software package includes Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Works (with MS Money), Roxio Easy CD creator and a host of other applications that make the laptop self reliant. All the basic apps are included. More software jacks up the price so the software may seem sparse but it keeps the price down which is always a good thing.

Battery life is a little better for the Compaq Presario 2100 compared to the HP. The battery is a Lithium Ion battery from Sanyo. A full charge will last over three hours. Since there isn’t a built-in wireless adapter to drain the battery it lasts a lot longer. An empty battery charges quickly as well. Power management can be configured to your needs. The laptop does get warm after a while but that happens with the majority of the laptops.

With regards to size, it’s size is on par with the HP Pavilion. Its dimensions are 13" x 10.7" x 1.6" and weighs in at 7.2 pounds. This is a pretty much the same size as the HP, putting it in the “average” size category. Its construction doesn’t feel as sturdy as the HP. I didn’t like the molded accents on the top of the laptop and when it’s closed it feels a little flimsy. Hopefully that doesn’t mean it will fall apart. Its overall styling just isn’t what I personally like. I like sharp corners and symmetry but it has lots of curves and accents. Not my cup of tea, but maybe it’s yours.

Overall, I would recommend the Compaq Presario 2100 if the price is right. It is a decent laptop with decent features but it isn’t one that I would whole-heartedly recommend. It does everything you would expect from a Compaq (HP) built computer but there are better laptops out there. I give it a solid 4.5 stars.

HP launches laptop with 24-hour battery

HP has announced it has achieved an unprecedented milestone in mobile computing: up to 24 hours of continuous notebook operation on a single battery charge.
In conformity with an industry-standard benchmark test, the new HP EliteBook 6930p can be configured to be used with an optional ultra-capacity battery to deliver up to 24 hours of battery runtime.
"The launch of the new 6930 series from HP finally addresses the battery life issue on business notebooks, enabling users to work for long periods without the need of regular battery recharges and exchanges," Etienne Borg Cardona, managing director of FGL Information Technology Limited, a subsidiary of the Forestals Group, said.
Designed and tested to last, HP batteries benefit from a combination of HP engineering and energy-efficient notebook components, such as Intel® solid-state hard drives (SSD) and mercury-free LED displays.
For example, the highly efficient HP Illumi-Lite LED display boosts battery run time by up to four hours compared to traditional LCD displays, while the Intel SSD provides up to a seven per cent increase in battery life compared to traditional hard drives.
Like any notebook, battery life will vary depending on the product model, configuration, loaded applications, features, and power management settings. The maximum capacity of the battery will decrease with time and usage.
Inspired by aircraft construction and designed for style-conscious mobile professionals, HP EliteBook notebooks feature the latest mobile technologies. And from November, customers will be able to purchase an HP EliteBook with the new Intel high-performance SSDs - HP is a launch customer for new Intel X25-M and X18-M Mainstream SATA SSDs.
In addition to helping achieve outstanding battery life, these new Intel SSDs provide greater durability and reliability and faster system responsiveness. Internal HP benchmarks show overall performance boosts of up to 57 per cent on industry benchmarks, and data transfer rates almost six times faster than traditional hard disks.
The initial Energy Star - qualified HP EliteBook 6930p configuration starts at only 2.1 kg. It features a 14.1-inch diagonal widescreen display and is available with an optional, mercury-free Illumi-Lite LED display.
To ensure the highest levels of battery life, customers need to buy the Ultra Capacity Battery and download the latest Intel graphics driver and HP BIOS. The notebook must be configured with the optional Intel 80 GB SSD drive and the HP Illumi-Lite LED Display. It requires the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.
The HP EliteBook 6930p is built for the corporate road warrior as it features a shock-resistant hard drive, enhanced display panel and spill-resistant keyboard to help defend data against bumps, drops and spills.
It was designed to meet the tough MIL-STD 810F military-standard tests, which measure levels of environmental reliability and operation at extreme temperatures, while withstanding vibration and high humidity.
All HP notebooks boast energy-efficient features and select materials for easier recycling. For example, HP has set a goal to remove all mercury - a material commonly found in notebook screens - from its entire notebook line by the end of 2010.

Hewlett-Packard Compaq Presario R4000

After scouring the laptop market for several months and having a run-in with a dreadful sales agent at Dell, I decided to go to PC World and just play with everything they had.
Loads of options, IBM, Toshiba and of course Compaq.The R4000 is a pretty beast and caught my eye immediately. It is designed for people who want the sheer power of a desktop PC with portability.
We flitted around the store (my wife and I) changing the wallpapers on all the laptops to check out the quality of the screen. Also we opened Internet Explorer on each machine to see how quickly it would open. The R4000 won on both counts.
The spec being: AMD Athlon 64 3200+  1.0 GB DDR SDRAM  15.4" WXGA BrightView Widescreen (1280x800)  128MB ATI RADEON(R) XPRESS 200M w/Hypermemory  80 GB 4200 RPM Hard Drive  DVD+/-RW/R & CD-RW Combo w/Double Layer Support  54g Integ. Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN with 125HSM/SpeedBooster  12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery (Compaq HSTNN-DB02)
The laptop is very well packaged. All the accessories, discs etc were placed in a separate smaller box with the laptop. The R4000 looks fabulous and is amazingly rugged - I found some of its competitors to feel flimsy in comparison.
It is coloured black with a silver Compaq logo. The inside is somewhat different and it is nearly totally silver. It is very eye-catching.The dimensions 14.25" (W) x 10.96" (L w/out hinge) to 11.18" (L w/hinge) x 1.8" (H Front) to 1.88"(H Rear) and it weighs in at about 7.9 lbs.
It is wireless enabled so it 'found' my new router with ease and set-up was a breeze.I use it all over the house and garden. Works superbly and the seemingly high weight is not a problem or hindrance at all.
Batteries last around 150 minutes. And that is with Internet connected and DVD running!The R4000 is well cooled and ventilated. It does not seem to run as hot as my old Toshiba.
The 15.4" WXGA BrightView Widescreen (1280x800) is superb. No complaints at all. Watching DVD's is a joy - much better than the DVD player plugged into my TV!The speakers and very good and very clear. Plenty of available volume.
I love the volume control. Three hotkey buttons for up, down and mute. These are SO useful.The DVD burner was an unexpected bonus. I have not used it to burn DVD's yet so cannot comment.
Loads of ports to please everyone. Firewire HeadphonesMicVideo-out (s-video)VGA port for monitorModem portEthernet port. Expansion Port 2 Four USB ports
Also a media card reader, which can read: Memory Stick  Memory Stick Pro  SmartMedia Card  Secure Digital (SD)/MMC  XD-Picture Card  ExpressCard/34  ExpressCard/54  Type I CardBus  Type II CardBusWindows XP Home SP2 is included as standard.
Also: Symantec Norton Antivirus 2005 (complementary 60 days)  Notebook Help & Support  Adobe Acrobat Reader  Sonic RecordNow  InterVideo WinDVD  Microsoft Works

New Plane Optical Mouse

New Plane Optical Mouse may be the ideal everyday mouse. Plus, it's cord-free, so there's no need to worry about dreaded desktop entanglements.
Though New Plane Optical Mouse instructions are overly wordy, our test setup for this mouse was simple and quick, taking less than 10 minutes. The base, which is housed in a cool-looking opaque case, comes PS/2 and USB ready. It is not, however, a recharging station for the mouse, which instead boasts more than six months of estimated battery life, as compared to the average of three months for most other wireless mice, before you'll need to replace the two AAs.
The overall look of the Wireless Optical Mouse is slick and stylish. It sports a comfortable ergonomic design, with added points for being ambidextrous. Perhaps because of the latter, Microsoft sticks to a simple three-button layout, which you can configure however you desire.
The most notable feature of this mouse--and of all new Microsoft mice--is the Tilt Wheel Technology. This nifty attribute allows you to scroll through windows horizontally by simply tilting the scrollwheel to one side or the other. Another unique trait is the smooth movement of the scrollwheel, which doesn't continually click like those of other mice we've used.

Compaq Presario R3000

Spec data:1.6-GHz Athlon XP-M 3000, 256MB DDR SDRAM, 40GB (4,200-rpm hard drive, 15.4-inch (1,280 x 800) display, 802.11b wireless, 7.9-pound system weight (9.5-pound travel weight), nVidia GeForce 4 420 Go graphics, DVD/CD-RW combo drive, three USB 2.0 ports, Windows XP Home

Pros:Wide-aspect screen, three USB ports, easily accessible buttons.
Cons:COMPAQ PRESARIO R3000 battery (COMPAQ 346970-001) life: 4 - 6 hoursBottom Line:the HP Compaq Presario R3000 is a desirably designed multimedia notebook, with a 15.4-inch wide-screen display at an affordable price.

Review
If you're looking for a bargain basement system to ease the back-to-school burden but don't want to sacrifice multimedia features, then the Compaq Presario R3000 could be the notebook for you.
The 8-pound R3000 has a sharp 15.4-inch WXGA display. The system had no problem displaying our test DVD movie clearly, and its JBL Pro speakers delivered superb sound quality. The nVidia GeForce4 420 Go graphics solution helped the R3000 win first place on our 3D performance tests. (Although our test system came with 802.11b, HP is offering free upgrades to 802.11g.)
On Multimedia Content Creation Winstone and our Serious Sam SE gaming demo, the R3000 had the best scores of the budget machines with 16.6 and 28.4, respectively. But we were surprised to find no memory card reader on a system with such multimedia-centric components. On Battery Mark, the R3000 lasted 4 hours 42 minutes, which was lowest among the budget systems.
The R3000 offers very good bang for the buck if you're on a budget but still want a spiffy multimedia system that will impress your dormmates. (Hey, you even get Microsoft Office SE 2003 for when it's time to get to work.) Shy away from the R3000, however, if you're looking for a more mobile system to carry around campus.

Powerful, neat, small, portable laptop! I love it!
Submitted by Rogarhcard
Rating: 8/10
Pros: I love this laptop compared to all my other friends and collegues laptops. I like that its 14.1" screen size...not too small and not too large and cumbersome. It is also very thin, but it is extremly sturdy, even though sometimes I think I might be holding it in one hand too much. It is light compared to all my friend's laptops. I am a graduate student, and it portays a business minded image. I have had no stability issues. It has performed flawlessly for me thus far. I am currently upgrading the RAM from 512MB to 1.5GB. I do not have any issues with the 512 for my usage, I am just greedy I guess. FEATURES I LIKE: -Ambient Light Sensor: which automatically adjust the brightness of the screen acording to ambient lighting present -Built in SD card reader -Both pointing stick and touchpad -one touch presentation button -onboard mic -Security lock feature which can also be set to lock your hard drive permanently in case you have highly sensitive data on your hard drive. Overall, I am in love with this laptop. I hope it give me many more years of trouble free service.
Cons: no on-screen display of volume meter, can not get my bluetooth to work ( I do not have much use for it though)
A Solid Performing Business Notebook

Rating: 7/10
Pros: This is an excellent business notebook that has a great keyboard, good performance, and simple design. I have yet to find any features that irritate me enough to return the notebook, and I have been through at least 4 notebooks looking for the right fit. The NC6200 series is a great alternative for anyone looking to buy a business notebook with a ThinkPad design. It is my opinion that this notebook has a better build that the ThinkPad T43. The T43 has a poor build, especially on the palm rest that creak with constant motion and pressure. The NC6200 series has a completely solid feel.
Cons: Battery(HP COMPAQ PB994A) performance is ok, but for a business notebook battery performance should be more of a focus. Lack of an intergrated fingerprint reader and built in microphone. Additionally, the edges of the notebook should be smoother, especially around the palm rest.

Google Chrome - a new browser

This moring i opened Goole, found a new link about google chrome, and can download direct from google. then i download and install it. i like use these browser to see sites. because fast ordinary. and all my homepages are show accurate(such as my batteries, Espow, Laptop Battery), but if page has some nonstandard contents, these sites would show some misstake in this browser.
I found that i have used so many google tools, chat online i use googltalk, email use gmail, browser now use google chrome, and so on, google omnipotent for us
I used to buy things from stores, but now i always order things online by googel seacher. last week i ordered a Sony PCGA-BP2V and PANASONIC CGA-DU21, today i received, they send me a 6 Functions Knife as a gift. the notebook battery i used it and it good conditions, hope it good for ever. they give 1 Year Extended Warranty, so if has some broken, they will send me a new one. it same time and money for me. this is a good order experience. but some times have displeasure order online, i ordered a skirt from a site, but i received a bigger, mistake color, so bad quality skirt, i contact the saler, but they did not settle my problem. and i have not pull on it. so i have not order clothing online. i only order electronic goods.

Build QualityThe D610 is a solid looking notebook -- noticeably thicker and burlier than my old Presario 1710TW, and from what I've read thicker and more durable than the Latitude D600 that it replaced in Dell's business notebook line-up. There is really not any flex when you pick the machine up by a corner, and the screen hinges are solid -- the screen doesn't wobble when you gently shake the notebook back and forth. The bezel surrounding the screen seems to be separated slightly near the bottom (just above the Dell logo -- see picture of keyboard below), although I didn't notice this until after I read about it in online forums. A dust-cover for the ports in back and for the docking port underneath would have been nice. Overall I give the D610 high marks for build quality.
Battery Life
Classic test with primary (6-cell, 4400mAh) battery: 2 hours 23 minutes
Idle test with primary battery: 2 hours 51 minutes
Classic test with primary & modular (also 4400mAh) batteries: 4 hours 25 minutes
Idle test with primary & modular batteries: 6 hours 0 inutes
I haven't actually timed the machine fully draining the batteries, but after normal use with the primary battery for 30 minutes, there was 83% remaining with a reported time left of 2 hours 24 minutes. I would estimate about 3 hours of light-duty computing from the primary battery alone. You could save a little weight with a 4-cell primary battery if you don't rely on batteries much.

Nikon D80 individuality

The Nikon D80 is the long-awaited replacement the the best-selling D70 and D70s digital SLRs. It's basically a D200 with a slightly different CCD sensor (though still 10 Megapixel) and a slower burst rate. it's also substantially cheaper than the D200.

Some of the new features on the D80 versus its predecessors include:
A new 10.2 effective Megapixel CCD (versus 6.1MP on the D70's)
A much larger and sharper 2.5" LCD display (versus 2.0")
Now uses Secure Digital and SDHC memory cards (versus CompactFlash)
Faster performance in all areas
New autofocus sensor offers better performance and more focus points (11 vs. 5)
Support for wireless flashes
Improved battery(Nikon EN-EL3E) life; new battery meter menu option shows vital stats
New Image Retouch menu offers D-Lighting, redeye removal, cropping, image overlay, and other features that have been on Nikon's Coolpix cameras for years
Refined menu system (just like the D200 now)
USB 2.0 High Speed support
Is the D80 worth your hard-earned cash? Find out now in our review!
There are two kits available for the D80. Here's what you'll find in each:
The 10.2 effective Megapixel Nikon D80 camera body
F3.5 - 5.6, 18 - 135 mm Nikon DX zoom lens [lens kit only]
EN-EL3e lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Battery charger
Body cap
Eyepiece cap
LCD protective cover
Shoulder strap
USB cable
Video cable
CD-ROMs featuring Nikon PictureProject
149 page camera manual (printed)
The first thing you'll need to go along with your D80 is a lens. If you got the lens kit then you're ready to go. If not, you can use most Nikon F-mount lenses with the D80 without issue. Do keep in mind that there's a 1.5X focal length conversion, so a 50 mm lens has the field-of-view of a 75 mm lens.
As for the kit lens itself, it's just fair. While it covers a very nice range, it's not terribly sharp, especially around the edges of the frame. If there's one thing I've learned about lenses it's that you (usually) get what you pay for.
Something else you'll need to pick up is a memory card. Unlike the D70's before it, the new D80 uses Secure Digital (as well as high capacity SDHC cards), and I'd suggest a 1GB card as a good starter size. Buying a "high speed" card is absolutely a good idea.
The D80 uses the same powerful EN-EL3e battery as the D200. This battery packs 11.1 Wh of energy, which is about as good as it gets. Since Nikon doesn't supply battery life numbers that use the CIPA standard, I can't tell you how it compares to other D-SLRs. I can tell you that Nikon gives battery life numbers of 600 and 2700 shots (obviously with very different conditions), and I'm guessing that the CIPA number lies closer to the bottom of that range.
When it's time to charge the battery just snap it into the included charger. It takes a little over two hours to fully charge the battery. This isn't one of those handy chargers that plugs right into the wall -- you must use a power cable.

BLog sale debouch the first succeed

As a seoer has working at Espow since 2005

the first we used exchang links to spread our webites and improve the keywords on the seach engine position, if your keywords list the first of the google, it can bring more and more users to list your site, then these user will be the order of your site.

Afterward, the web2.0 epoch cominge, all of us use web2.0 to submit the particular pages, use web2.0 to spread sites accordeing to the quantity. such as hot keywords Dell Inspiron 6000 Battery, so many sale to do the keywords use web2.0, one submit it to 10 web2.0 sites, other submit it to 6 web2.0 sites, the first one's site list before the latter. so use web2.0, who do hard, he would succeed.

I use blog to sale since last year. I have writed a blog very day or two days since last year. and today i found one order path my blog to order Sony Pcga-bp2e, this is the first succeed, i am so happy, i will use the way to do my job in the future. and i believe it can help. but so hard to find the blog url to write article. find the resource of blog url is the important thing.

iPod Battery Life?

We all know that the iPod battery life isn’t the greatest but it is good enough that I don’t think it is a major issue.

My Current battery stats:
Usage - 5 Hours, 49 Minutes
Standby - 2 Days, 2 Hours

with about 25% left

I actually think that is quite good. Probably better than what I have seen previously with my iPod. I used it for a lot of texts, some browsing, some calls, some music. Not bad since I haven’t plugged it in for over two days now.
There are many ways to save your battery life as well. One major way is to turn down the screen brightness. Another way is to turn of the ‘Ask to Join Networks’ in Wifi settings. Of course using Wifi, Bluetooth, watching youtube etc, will all drain your battery faster.
There was a rumor going around that turbosim, stealth sim, etc. caused your battery to drain faster. Since I have had first hand experience with it, I would say that it does make a difference without it. I was getting less usage and standby time before when I did have the turbosim in.

The averages were:
Usage - 3 to 4 hrs
Standby - 1.5 days

Obviously I am doing better than that now.

One more tip: I’ve noticed that the battery tends to last a little longer when I leave it plugged in beyond when it appears to be full on the screen. I usually leave it plugged in overnight and get more usage and standby than when I charge it for a couple hours during the day even though it does look fully charged.
Overall I think the iPod battery is sufficient. It is not unreasonable to have to charge your phone once every 2 days. What are the stats on your battery life? Leave a comment and let me know.

Transform IP flux to money

have worked as a seoer more than 3 years, now i want to talk about the different between SEO and SEM.

I work at Espow company at SEO Dept. but our job not conventional SEO, it as the same as SEM, why? because we do some sites to sale our products -- battery, battery charger, adapter online, if our keywords list the first page of all the search enginer, but no buyer order goods on our site, it seems you did no well.

Want all the view to order products on our website, has some useful complications, such order easy, good user experience, logical price, good service, good conditions products. we produced our battery, battery charger, adapter since 1997, so our products a wonderful.1 Year Warranty! 30 Days Money Back! son the serveice is good, now as a seoer should do that a good user experience and order easy web pages.

I think my homepage espow.ca has been done good all the thing, and the IP flux are higher, but so little buyer order on these site, any one can discuss these question here?

how to choose Two Way Radio

Basic two-way radio:If you want a basic, no frills GMRS/FRS radio, the FV200AA is a good choice — as long as you don’t need much range. The Motorola two-way radio’s rated range is 5 miles, but that’s greatly reduced by buildings, hills and other obstacles. The radio also lacks privacy codes, which isn’t a problem out in the woods, but could make conversations a challenge in areas where lots of radios are in use. The radio covers all 22 GMRS and FRS channels, but like most two-way radios, it requires an FCC license. Be aware that because it operates on open radio channels, others using the same channel can pick up your conversations
Best two-way radio overall:
It’s more expensive than the basic Motorola FV200AA, but the Midland GXT710VP3 offers more features, privacy features, better range and better power options. The feature lineup includes 121 privacy codes to prevent eavesdropping, NOAA weather alerts, a rechargeable battery, charger stand and more. The range is specified at 26 miles — one of the longest of any two-way radio in its price category (though actual range varies). The radio covers all 22 GMRS and FRS channels. A license is needed for use on the long-range GRMS channels, but you can choose to operate the radio in a low-power mode for license-free operation on the FRS channels (8-14).
How To Buy A Two-Way Radio:Staying in touch in the woods is a snap with two-way radios. Besides keeping tabs on any game activity, two-way radios provide you with security and are an invaluable communications tool should something go wrong. With some added features, these devices may even help point you to your camp or keep tabs on the weather.
Two Way Radio Batteries Characteristic
Most two-way radios run on standard AA or AAA batteries. Others come with their own rechargeable NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) or NiCad (nickel-cadmium) battery packs. A few can accommodate either.In general, the higher a radio’s power output, the faster it will drain your batteries. Look for models that send the unit into a low-power, battery-saver mode after a certain amount of time has elapsed between broadcasts. Or consider a solar charger for in-the-field replenishment of NiMH and NiCad batteries.

How to extent laptop battery

Some Toshiba Laptop Batteries not fully discharged

I find so many tohsiba laptop battery users have this problem : the battery fully discharged. now i list some user's troubles

User A : I bring to you guys a strange problem I've got on my Toshiba laptop since one week ago. Basically battery isn't charging anymore. When I put it back on the laptop the charging lamp comes on for 2 seconds and then comes off. There's no charge at the battery, if I take main off computer dies immediately. But Windows XP ALWAYS acuses 46% of charge on the battery, and says not charging as well. My battery didn't get end of life because I rarely use it and keep it off the laptop and was holding full charge, not used more than 50 cycles. Facts: 1) I know the battery was full discharged from last time I used, about 3 days ago problem appeared. 2) I got some virus/spywares days ago, do you think it maybe afected Bios?

User B: I had a similar problem when my battery got fully discharged. I ended up buying a seperate charger and then had the same prob, it would positively charge for short 2-5 second intervals.This worked for me: allow the 2 second charge, remove power adopter cord, re-insert again and again. The battery will slowly charge and after 20 times the power supply board will acknowledge that there is indeed a battery and charge fully. Don't let the battery full discharge after this point however.

User C : the laptop model #psaa0u-01q002 Toshiba is working fine with ac plug. but does not charge my battery and i bought new battery but that one does not charge too.the light comes on for 5 min. when i plug in the ac power, next to battery symbol in the front. it yellow color. so power is going to the battery, so connection is not the problem but why is it cut it off after 5 min.. and in the power meter it do not show charging too.

User D : I have a Toshiba Satellite A70 and it's had problems in the past, but never something like this. The battery won't charge anymore while in use and plugged in - a problem that's never occurred before. It happened about a week ago before I went on vacation, and ever since I've come back, it's been acting like this. I have no idea how to fix this problem. The battery starts charging when I close my computer while still plugged in. Is there something wrong with the the battery settings?

User A and B has the some model : Toshiba Satellite P25-S487

no matter what model of toshiba laptops, check the battery problems as follows

Normally the DC-DC convertor or power board controls the charge circuit in notebooks. This will control the distribution of power in the notebook and ensure items such as battery charge are working.
You might have something strange such as your power adapter running a little low on voltage, we get units into our workshops quite often that fail to charge batteries correctly and find the power adapter is not supplying sufficient power.
If thats the case its generally a cheap fix, replacing the power board is often a more expensive option.
Ideally you could do with either finding someone with a power adapter you can try or looking for a reputable company that would perhaps give you a free quote - if someone asked us we would happily put one of our adapters on to confirm if its that or not.I suspect that first as when the units open and drawing most power the adapter might be struggling to provide sufficient power, its very difficult to measure the output as the adapters are generally worldwide compatible so they adjust themselves depending on the input voltage and the load required.

Review about Toshiba Satellite A70

I purchased this Toshiba Satellite A70 one year later it still works just as great as the day I bought it. It has the powerful P4 chip and a kick-ass ATI chipset and GPU. Many people complain about a heating problem, but the unit has two fans (one for the CPU and one for the GPU) and, if kept clean, cool the laptop sufficiently. At the time it was a relatively powerful system.The screen is purely eye-candy. I love it. It has a resolution of 1280x800, which is a 16:10 ratio, and is more crisp and clear than any other laptop i've ever seen. very bright, very clean, and not the least bit fuzzy.This laptop is a big one. Originally classed as a desktop replacement, it weighs in at an arm-popping 9 pounds (with the 12-cell battery). However, this laptop is built solid and very durable. In the time of my ownership, it has endured water, soda, a drop on the concrete, and a tumble down the isle on a bus, not to mention hundreds of drops on the floor (one with the DVD drive wide open). This is one tough system. I have actually half taken it apart while it was running, including the screen. (Don't try this, I'm an expert)As for software, I cannot say whether or not it came with good software. I'm a tweaker, so the day I got it, I wiped it and reinstalled windows, along with a version of linux. It's sad to say, this laptop is very tricky to run linux on. It was designed for windows. The laptop comes with a recovery DVD that restores the system to the way it was when you first took it out of the box. I suppose that would be a good thing for the average user.This laptop used to make an excellent gaming computer. It could handle any game older than it, and a few games that are younger. With a RAM upgrade this laptop can handle Doom 3 on medium settings. I mostly use it for CS:S, Quake 3, and San Andreas.The built-in atheros wireless card makes internetting on the go a dream. The range is good, and it operates on A, B, and G networks, with a max speed of 108MB/s. I treat this system like trash, and the hardware just never stops working. This thing has been through so much, and it will be through very much more in the future. At this time I don't even feel the need to upgrade, but I will buy a couple more of these if I see them on eBay. I just wish Toshiba still made laptops like this one this awesome.Pros:Very powerful laptop, fit for gaming.Beautiful screen.DVD super multi drive writes all DVD R/RW (+ AND -), and DVD-RAM.Pure reliability, survived two years in the worst possible conditions, used every single day.Built-in Wi-Fi, Firewire, and 5-in-1 card reader.Cons:High-capacity battery ( TOSHIBA PA3383U-1BRS ) + high power system = high battery life, about 4.5 hours.

IBM ThinkPad T60p Review

IBM ThinkPad T60 is the perfect notebook and is the obvious choice of most business professionals. IBM ThinkPad T60 is a thin and light notebook and proves to be the most ideal for traveling businesspersons and professionals.
IBM ThinkPad T60p is among the first T series from Lenovo instead of IBM. IBM initiated the ThinkPad name and Lenovo would continue to use the IBM logo for five more years after completion of the deal. It offers the ultimate combination of all necessary features like weight, keyboard, durability, security, broadband connectivity, and performance. Further, the cost is affordable and adds to the features.
Features
IBM ThinkPad T60p has a sturdy design with sufficient ports. It has a long battery life, offers excellent graphics, and a smooth transition to Windows Vista. Upgraded video card allows smoother functioning. Lenovo ThinkPad T60p supports 1 GB RAM memory and 4 GB RAM maximum memory. Hard drive speed is 7200 RPM and the operating system is Windows XP Professional. This ThinkPad also includes battery and a power adapter and comes with a manufacturer warranty of twelve months.
IBM ThinkPad T60p offers the ultimate quality albeit at a high price. Yet, you would not mind paying the price as this ThinkPad proves to be a mobile workstation and offers perfect compatibility with all kinds of sophisticated software. Rather, the cost of your ThinkPad would not prove to be a major factor if you consider its compatibility with such expensive and beneficial software.
One of the key features of Lenovo ThinkPad T60p is the possibility to upgrade its RAM to 4GB. Different models of T60p have different configurations of Intel 945GM and 945PM Chipsets. All of these allow the possibility of an upgrade. A physical switch on Lenovo ThinkPad T60 allows you to switch off all radio transmitting devices in your laptop. This increases battery life. Further, it proves helpful while you are working in-flight.
Warranty period is only for a year, which is definitely less given the features of T60p and reputation of the company. However, it is possible to increase your warranty period up to five years albeit on payment of extra costs.
The Looks on the Exterior
IBM ThinkPad T60p has a black plastic lower bezel exterior and bears close similarity to the earlier models in its exterior looks. The upgrades include wider and less coarse cover offering extended durability. It also makes it easier to use for extended periods.
The lower portion of LCD is not of plastic and instead is made of magnesium alloy. Although magnesium makes the laptop more brittle, it does prove to be highly heat resistant and lightweight than the normal plastic. The lower part is of titanium, which makes your ThinkPad more resistant and durable.
IBM ThinkPad T60p has SerialATA (SATA) drive for speedy transfer of data. It also has an HDD Active Protection System. This mechanism prevents any damage to your hard drive even if you accidentally drop your laptop. This system senses sharp falls and immediately provides a cushion-like support for your hard drive. This protects your data or any physical damages to disk platters. If need be, you can take out the hard drive and connect it to a desktop machine.
The optical drive of IBM ThinkPad T60p is modular. You have to disassemble the machine to remove the drive. You would need professional help to do this. You can upgrade this drive to a dual-layer DVD writer or a CDRW/DVD-ROM.
Battery Life
Manufacturers of IBM ThinkPad T60p claim to offer battery (IBM ASM 92P1128) life of more than six hours and nine hours from a full charge on the six-cell battery and nine-cell battery respectively. However, this is an exaggeration. You are sure to get a good four hours of battery life. You can get extra time if you do not use the CD or DVD drive but it can nowhere be around the claimed nine hours. You can save on battery life by turning off the wireless modem.

How long can a battery hold its charge if unused?

Not an authoritative answer but I recently read that lithium and NiMHs will both lose charge over time. According to a laptop battery site, these batteries keep a charge for two to three months, slowly losing their charge however.

I found the site and include the info here. Keep in mind that this applies to the much larger, notebook batteries but the advice seems good (except for the uncertain remark. You'd think they'd know by now).

Lithium Ion Batteries (such as the Compaq Presario 2100 Battery uses)

1 to 2 months -- Battery should still have minimal charge to operate the computer

6 to 12 months -- Battery can still be charged

12 months or more -- Uncertain

Batteries may be damaged if stored for prolonged periods with a closed circuit. The environmental temperature also affects the storage life of any battery. Cool environments are best, and are assumed for the above estimates. All storage times are based on storage starting with the battery fully charged.

For example, schools that may not use their laptop computers during the summer should fully charge the batteries, remove them from the computers, and store them in a cool location for the duration of the summer.

Dell Inspiron 1100 characteristic

Design of Dell Inspiron 1100

You can't mistake the Inspiron 1100's lineage: it sports the same "Venice blue and moonlight silver" case as all new Inspirons, including the 600m and the 8600. In fact, the Inspiron 1100 shares its case design with the more expensive Inspiron 5100, which carries more cutting-edge components than the 1100.
With a 14.1-inch screen, the Inspiron 1100's case measures 12.9 by 10.8 by 1.7 inches and weighs 7.4 pounds, average for a mainstream notebook. There's also an optional 15-inch display that jacks up size and weight slightly. You won't want to travel a lot with either one, but taking them on occasional jaunts won't do you in, either. Large cases such as this often house two internal secondary storage drives, such as a floppy and a CD-RW. But the Inspiron 1100 offers just one fixed (that is, not swappable) secondary drive; you'll have to choose from CD, DVD, CD-RW, and DVD/CD-RW drives when you order. In the growing trend toward kissing floppies good-bye, Dell offers an external USB floppy drive only. The Inspiron 1100's extra pounds lie in its huge 14.8V, 6600mAh battery. the cell keeps this system running for four hours, despite its power-draining, desktop Celeron processor. But we're not wild about the loud fan that's needed to cool down this hot processor. The Inspiron 1100's ample case allows room for a wide and firm keyboard, a spacious touchpad, and two big mouse buttons. There's also plenty of space for ports and slots, although the budget-minded Inspiron 1100 includes just the bare minimum. A 56K modem port sits on the right edge, and Ethernet, VGA, S-Video-out, and two USB 2.0 ports are spread out across the back edge. The left edge offers headphone and microphone ports, plus one Type II PC Card slot. The front edge features two speakers that a produce more vibrant sound than that of most mainstream notebooks.
Features of Dell Inspiron 1100The Inspiron 1100's base configuration gives average users just about everything they need for work or play, including a 2GHz desktop Celeron processor; 256MB of fast 266MHz DDR SDRAM; a 14.1-inch screen with a native 1,024x768 (XGA) resolution; a CD drive; and a 20GB, 4,200rpm hard drive. For various prices, you can choose higher-end specs such as a 2.4GHz desktop Pentium 4 CPU; up to 1GB of memory; a DVD, CD-RW, or DVD/CD-RW combo drive; a 40GB, 5,400rpm hard drive; and a 15-inch XGA display. All configurations come with the same graphics chip: a 64BM Intel 845G. Our evaluation system shipped with a 2GHz Celeron processor, 256MB of RAM, a 30GB hard drive, a DVD drive, and a 14.1-inch screen.

Battery life of Dell Inspiron 1100With its powerful 14.8V, 6600mAh battery, the Inspiron 1100 had little trouble clobbering the competition in battery life. The Inspiron 1100's four-hour score is the longest battery life we've seen in a Celeron-based system, and it even bested a couple of systems--the new battery-life champs. With the Dell Inspiron 1100, you'll be able to work unplugged without eyeing the power meter every 15 minutes.

Apple PowerBook G4 (12-inch, SuperDrive) Review

No one can argue that the 12-inch Apple PowerBook G4 isn't attractive -- you get a competitive set of hardware, including a roomy, 80GB hard drive, a single-layer DVD burner, and a DVI connection, as well as an absolutely best-in-class software package.

Though we think the 12 inch iBook G4 is the better choice for basic users, we think the 12-inch PowerBook offers a better combination of power, features and battery life for the price than any other Apple laptop. As such, unless you engage in video editing on the fly or have some other essential reason to haul around a 15- or 17-inch display, we recommend the cheaper, more compact 12-inch model to the larger PowerBooks. (Use the money you'll save to buy an LCD monitor to use with your laptop at home or at work.)

DesignThe 12-inch PowerBook G4's rock-solid, aluminium-alloy case is an upscale adaptation of Apple's less expensive polycarbonate iBook G4. The 12-inch PowerBook G4 is smaller than the 12-inch iBook G4, measuring a modest 277mm wide, 218mm deep and 30mm thick. At 2.1kg, it's on the lighter side of the thin-and-light spectrum.

Like the iBook G4, the PowerBook G4 has a comfortable keyboard with rounded keys shaped to fit your fingers; our only gripe is the grossly undersize arrow keypad. The spacious touch pad's two-finger scrolling feature, for scrolling horizontally and vertically, is magical (use it for a few days, and you'll wonder how you ever did without it). The display, which actually measures 12.1-inches, features a standard 1,024x768-pixel native resolution -- not optimal for graphics work but adequate for general use; many 12-inch PowerBook G4 owners use an external display at home or work. We like the laptop's speakers, which hide underneath the central screen hinge yet somehow provide rich, multilayered sound. The 12-inch PowerBook G4 lacks the external multimedia controls found on many other laptops -- that's the price you pay for a streamlined design. A note of caution to those who live in cold climates: the aluminium-alloy wrist rest can feel downright chilly until your typing hands warm it up.

FeaturesAll of the PowerBook G4's ports sit along its left edge. They're largely similar to what you'll find on the 12-inch iBook G4. For networking, the 12-inch PowerBook provides 56Kbps modem and 10/100 Ethernet ports. Also onboard are connections for headphones, audio line-in (which the iBook lacks), power, two USB 2.0 ports, a mini-DVI port that accommodates adaptors for DVI, VGA, S-Video and composite video connections. Our test unit also had a six-pin, 400Mbps FireWire port. The opposite edge hosts the slot-loading single-layer DVD burner, which we prefer to a breakable optical-drive tray.

Like the iBook G4, the PowerBook G4 lacks a true productivity suite, but it ships with a very strong software package. You get the latest version of the terrific Mac OS X, nicknamed Tiger, plus Apple's excellent iLife '05 software bundle for managing photos (iPhoto), videos (iMovie) and music (iTunes). Also included are more professional-grade apps, including Art Directors Toolkit, OmniOutliner and QuickBooks for Mac.

We think it's a bit high for the uneven mix of high-end and low-end specs: a 1.5GHz PowerPC G4 processor, 512MB of slowish 333MHz memory (upgradable to 1.25GB), an Nvidia GeForce FX Go 5200 graphics chip with 64MB of dedicated VRAM, Airport Extreme 802.11g wireless, a spanking-new Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card, and a big 80GB, 5,400rpm hard drive protected by Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor technology, which stops it from spinning when it detects imminent damage.

PerformanceIn our tests, the 12-inch PowerBook G4 excelled with productivity tasks. Using iTunes, it converted a music file into MP3 format in the same fast time as the beefier 15-inch version and surpassed the larger model by more than one minute in our Photoshop CS trials. Despite its small size, the 12-inch PowerBook G4 has the chops for serious graphics work.
