The particularity of this bag is it has a large 3-watt solar panel with a Li-ion rechargeable battery, which apparently has a good efficiency since it can be recharged even in a cloudy day.

The utility of this bag cannot be underestimated. It can recharge our favorite portable gadgets while we are walking. Therefore, we will be able to keep those gadgets in a “full-load state” and in a simple way. Of course, the best thing is this bag is totally ecological.

The Internet is full of many unexpected things. You must have surely come across one list of such unexpected things, which are world's most expensive gadgets. It is a big surprise to know that the list of such world's most expensive gadgets is topped by watches.

It's simply incredible that a small piece of hand ornament "watch" can be priced as high as $400,000. While I saw, one such watch on the Internet a question posed in my mind that who on this Earth has all that money to buy such expensive gadgets. Do these watches, one of the worlds most expensive gadgets find an owner ever?

Certainly, these watches are a millionaire's cup of tea. This can be verified as we have often heard of news about well know actors gifting such expensive watches to their beloved one's.

NBA Live Series vs NBA 2k series?!

I'm here to present my opinion base on my experiences as an avid NBA Live player since 2001 and NBA 2k player since the release of the series of 2k9.

As i tried playing the NBA Live series 2001-07 and got addicted in it, it was fun playing it, there has been a great changes and modification on their yearly release to improve the game and make it better not until the EA sports release their previous NBA Live series which is the NBA08, damn it was disappoint! it was a real mess! how cold be a previous series is way better than the new one?! I mean the NBA Live 07 is way better that NBA Live 08 for me.

The developers have a year to create something or to do a tweak to make the game much better and likable. But thanks for the NBA LIVE series "Patchers" for their "MODS" as they made the NBA Live 08 much better than in its official release.
You can check their works at here. (<---hit on this link)

And for the so called best Basketball franchise game NBA2k series, its flawless not to mention some bugs or glitches. But its has wide variety of gameplay allowing the player to feel what is like to be on the pro league basketball court.

But the thing is, OK let me tell a story first; I'm so excited that the month of October is near, we all know that the early month of October is always the release date of the NBA Live series and after reading some new about the EA Sports that they will not be releasing a NBA Live 09 for PC platform, i really got disappointed so at my own will, I purshed a NBA2k9 and read its PC specs.

Well, its good my PC can handle it, but the problem is that i didn't know about the Shader model or the Pixel shader stuff that time.. I got disappointed again because my Graphic card support only 2.0 shader which is the FX series of GeForce while the game need 3.0.. It was a pain in the ass like hell, my basketball gaming career is going to end. But then after not spending my allowances, I decided to purchased a GT series of video card and voila!!

Oh well, it was a real experience atleast once I started playing the NBA 2k9 it makes my vain back alive again! And about their NBAk210 release?! Man, it was awesome the new features of the game was great it like an orgasm! yea! OK this is for now I'll be back sometime.. Kudos blogsters!! XD

Just starting..

OK, its done and I'll be making my first ever post in my first ever blog..XD
So after reading different ideas on what should i choose between the different blog hosts such as Wordpress, Typepad and Blogger I've made up my mind and decided that I will use blogspot.com instead of the other i mention a while ago..
I really did some research on what to use as my blog host. It is just my personal opinion and needs, its relative although. But for now, my point is to make a blog because my instructors told us to do so.I'm now done typing my first ever post in my blog site.. Let the hard work, headaches and sore wrists begin. olryt!
