Frustrated with Cell Phone Coverage

After changing cell phone carriers, I have been disappointed with the signal strength I have been getting on the highway. So, I have bought one of those cell phone amplifiers, and hopefully it will solve the problem.

Getting Ready for Digital Television

Since the broadcasting standards are changing February 2009, I want to replace my old tube television with something new. So, we have been shopping around for a good LCD television - I think that I like the Sharp Aquos the best.

Monitoring Your Workforce

We have a little moving company that is extremely busy.  It is very important for us to make sure our staff are on the job sites on time, and that as soon as they are done, they should be moving onto the next job.

Excellent Picture on Multiple Televisions

I work at an electronics store that sells satellite programming and plasma televisions.  It is quite an impressive site to see the wall of televisions, but we have faced some problems getting a good quality signal to all of them.

The Mount Doesn’t Fit My Plasma

I recently purchased a plasma television to put on the wall of our home theater room.  Originally, we had planned to put the plasma TV on the mantle of the fireplace, but when we took it home, the feet on the stand were too big for the mantle.

My Hobby, My Phone

Interweb Bridges the Gap Between Gadgets and Games

Ever since we had a computer in our house when I was a child, I was fascinated with computer games.  Sure, back in those days the graphics were not very good, but it wasn’t the looks that were important - it was the gameplay.
It wasn’t much after we had a computer that portable devices started […]
