Average Joe’s Biweekly Tips and Tricks

This week I have another tip for you on how to care for your MacBook.  This tip will help you take care of the annoying sharp edges on your MacBook. You will need a nail file, trash can, and your MacBook (Aluminum or Plastic) to try this tip out. The first step is to set your MacBook on the edge of a table so that the front (the side that you open) of the MacBook is sticking out. Then grab the file and lightly file the sharp edges of the MacBook away. You do not have to file very hard to get the MacBook smooth – just remember not to file the edge of the MacBook too much or you might end up ruining it. For easy clean up, remember to put a trash can under the MacBook edge so that the file shavings can go directly into the trash can. Via OSX Daily. There is another one about filling your MacBook Pro from a guys blog called One Man’s Blog.

ChicBuds: DJ Sport Headphones

chicBuds: DJ Sport Headphones nude pics

Website: chicBuds

Price: $29.99

ChicBuds are an overall great value given its price point. You won’t break the bank buying a pair and you won’t break your heart if you lose them. The chicBuds sound quality are superb given the price. Additionally the padded earpieces make them comfortable to wear for long periods. I also appreciate having a pair of over the headphones to wear at home because wearing earbuds for a long time can become uncomfortable. Additionally, given my small ear size, the earbuds tend to pop out of my ears. ChicBuds are also available in great colors and as the name says they are very “chic”. The chicBuds earpieces themselves conveniently fold into the headset to create a more compact package for storing.

A downside of the chicBuds is that the material that the chicBuds use looks inexpensive, but you have to remember that the headphones are only $29.99. Also, the chicBuds earpieces are a bit small so they wind up resting on top of your ear and not around your ear.

Overall, chicBuds’ price point, comfort and style make it a good value. ChicBuds also has several different headphone and earbud lines — just as stylish and just as fun. For those interested in a little bling, chicBuds even makes earbuds encrusted with real Swarovski crystals. For those of you that are into basic black, you may be interested in RockBuds. Check out their website to see the full line of chicBuds.

Update 5/3/10 Competition in the World of Pads

Competition Among Pads

Tablet computer “pads,” that is. Yes, other tech giants, along with some start-ups, are once again following Apple in an attempt to gain a portion of the market that Apple created.  The WeePad, JooJoo Tablet, and HP Slate are among the competitors that announced or released tablet computers within the past month.

Clearly, there is a pretty good market for tablet computers, as Apple announced Monday news that it has sold 1 million iPads in the first month!  But will other companies be able to capture the same appeal that Apple has with the iPad?

Analysts think not.  The International Data Corporation says that “Anybody can make a tablet. I could go to Taiwan, hire a contract manufacturer, and make ‘Bob’s tablet,’ but the hard part is doing the software and getting the applications.”  If any company CAN do that though, it would be HP.

Though it is perhaps possible for HP to take some of the market away from Apple, in the long run I don’t think it will make much of a difference for Apple.  All of these other companies are followers. But the leader remains the leader.
