Hubby bought this hard disk drives for our station computers here in our internet shop. Its actually a second hand but so far so good it doesn’t have any problems at all.  When purchasing a hard disk drive, it is important to understand and verify that the hard disk drive is suitable for your use. However, you may find it confusing and frustrating sometimes when you’re looking to purchase a hard disk drive, right?

The first and foremost important consideration when you buy a hard disk drive  is the interface the hard disk drive that uses to communicate with the computer. It is also important to look at the transfer rates of the hard disk drive because a long transfer rates can considerably slow down your computer when transferring larger files. 

You should also consider the price since the price range can vary depending upon what interface the drive uses  such as SATA, IDE, SCSI, or USB, capacity of the drive, and the RPM or speed of the drive.

I applied for an upgrade of our internet connection last week from PLDT MyDSL high speed plan. I have upgraded from From P999 up to 1.5 mbps to P1,995 unlimited DSL with landline up to 3 mbps. Exactly one week today from the date I applied for an upgrade,  my hubby checked our internet speed using speedtest.net and we’ve noticed that the speed is at 3mbps already.

Yey! Now we can have an unlimited high-speed internet because aside from me who is using the connection for personal use,  we have a heavy bandwidth users who loves downloading, gaming and video streaming since we are also using the connection here in our internet shop.

My mom posted this cool gadget photos on my Facebook page. She said she will give this notebook to my daughter so she can watch her favorite cartoons on Youtube.  I’m so happy because at last she will not grab my seat and use my netbook anymore LOL! My mom will also give this awesome Nokia E7 Eseries phone for my hubby Yey!

Too bad I don’t mine Oh well, I already have my netbook and pink touchscreen mobile phone so its okay for me. But Ive been eying on her NIKON D3100 DSLR camera because I can’t afford to buy that hahaha! If she will get bored on it and if she will buy the newest and latest DSLR camera which is available on the market today, then I would definitely ask and beg her to give the camera to me. ^_^

With all the advances of technology, there is a misconception that faxes are not important business tools. Faxes still remain an important part of business communication because they are fast ways to get important information across to another party. Internet faxing is a step up from traditional faxing, and it is often less expensive and more convenient for businesses to use.

How to Send a Fax

Sending an online fax works in two different ways. First, you can send fax to a recipient’s fax machine from your business email. You can either scan the document into your computer or send over a saved document created in Microsoft Word or Open Office. Type in the fax number through the Internet service, and then the recipient will have the page printed out on their end.

The other way Internet faxing works is by sending a document from your fax machine to a recipient’s email address. The process is like sending a document to another fax machine, wherein you punch in a number corresponding to an assigned. Instead of the recipient printing the document from the fax machine, they will receive an email attachment.

Tools Needed for Internet Faxes

The business tools you need for Internet faxing ultimately depend on how you would like to use the service. If you already have a fax machine, then you might consider using an Internet service to utilize the option of faxing documents to clients who do not have this kind of equipment.

On the other hand, this service is especially crucial if you do not have a fax machine. In either case, you will need a reliable Internet connection as well as a phone line for the process to work efficiently. Keep in mind that you do not need a separate fax machine phone line for this kind of service. You also do not have to waste paper and ink if you choose not to print out documents received through your email.

Costs

Running a business is impossible without spending money here and there on the essential tools that you need to run it efficiently. The good news is that utilizing internet faxing can actually cut your business costs. If you do not have a fax machine, then having the option of internet faxing can decrease the need for buying a piece of equipment that you may never use.

If you already have a fax machine, your internet faxing services can still help you get relevant information to clients quickly if they do not have fax machines. Simply leave your machine hooked up and send the information to the recipient’s email address. This saves you time and money from having to carry out other forms of communication.

Here’s our latest haul from CD-R King. We bought some headphones, webcam, mouse, memory card and reader. We used it for our newly re-opened internet shop. We need more accessories for our station computers and since I found the cheapest products from CD-R King, I still buy from them.

For those who are not familiar with Cd-r king, Cd-r King is one of the top media & technology providers in the Philippines. They provide computer gadgets  and techie products at reasonable prices. Their mission is to provide the latest technology at an affordable price without extra cost and also to be able to deliver up-to-date technologies to the Philippine market with the latest computer related products as well as computer accessories.

For those who are already familiar on this media store, I know that we do have a good and bad experiences with them. As consumers, we believe that manufacturers such as Cd-r king need to guarantee that the products they sell can meet with the standards. However,  in my own opinion, I already expected it. They sell cheap brands and China made products so it means it has low quality. 

Many people have been having problems with cdr king devices, mostly on compatibility issues and easily damaged products. Well, since all of their products has warranty periods, you just have to be ready to return the item immediately.

Now I am loaded with lots of pending tasks and assignments and I have a lot of things to blog about. Grrrr… I just hate that I couldn’t go online just because I don’t have an internet connection.

Well, it all started when they temporarily disconnect us because we were unable to pay our bills. They said their due date is every 27th of the month and we just paid on the 29th. Their system automatically detected that we were unable to pay on the said due date. Okay it may be our fault but hey,  how we were able to know our unpaid bills were in fact we did not received any bills, notice or call!?

We were also unlucky since during that time, they’re having a technical problem with their main line and it took them almost a week  in restoring the internet that’s why it took us more than two weeks before they finally reconnect our line. Haaayz! I’m glad that I am now back online. I just hope that there will be no more problems regarding my internet connection.

My mom’s boyfriend Markus bought a 3D Bluray home theater projector with Dolby surround sounds. They’re both enjoying their day off from work in watching movies at home.  I wonder how it feels like watching a movie in 3D since I haven’t tried it yet. Good thing we will be having our family vacation this year and we will be staying at their house. Yey! I’m so excited to try watching movies in 3D while wearing 3D glasses. I know it would be fun and exciting!

My mom said that if you are wearing 3D glasses, it makes the movie or television show you’re watching look like a 3-D scene that’s happening right in front of you. With objects flying off the screen and careening in your direction, and creepy characters reaching out to grab you, wearing 3-D glasses makes you feel like you’re a part of the action, not just someone sitting there watching a movie. Considering they have such high entertainment value, I know we will be surprise how amazing 3D glasses are.

I bought a new netbook a few weeks ago but its operating system is Meego so my hubby suggested that we should buy an external DVD writer so he could reformat my netbook into Windows OS.

We bought this Samsung SE-208AB slim portable DVD writer at $60, with an aero dynamic sleek design. It has a hi-glossy surface and aesthetics that matches Samsung’s new laptop series.  It matches my Samsung NP 100 netbook too! It is USB-powered and no additional power cord is needed.

It works with Windows PC and Mac computers.This Samsung SE-208AB can burn a DVD+/-R for up to 24x. The drive includes Buffer Under Run technology to prevent errors that may result from writing speeds that exceed data transfer speeds.
