In the dither of computational world, some stand out. Those are the leaders, the heavyweights, the champs.
These are the leading PC vendors, hardware and software manufacturers of today.

The american multinational information technology corporation Hewlett Packard (HP) is the first of them.

iRead, YouRead, WeRead: e-Readers

    Welcome to the 21st century. Long ago, people used to read paper books. But that was back in the 20th century. You probably hadn't heard about it. Today, we read books in digital format; the e-readers. E-readers are a blockbuster, since they have surpassed paper books in the market. What can I say, as everything changes, so does styles.

   We shouldn't cry over it. Remember when we had a zillion tons of paper archives and it took us for ever to find what we were looking for? Well, times changed and we now have hard drives, floppy discs, compact discs, DVD's, blu-ray discs, USB flash drives, memory cards, etc. Everything to make our lives better and simpler.

    E-readres are kitsch. They sell and sell. They make are lives better, I think. Or at least groovy. Kobo knows it, Barnes & Noble knows it, Amazon knows it, Sony knows it. I will lay it on the line: everybody knows it! So don't worry, I won't spill any beans around this.

    If you're looking for a lap of luxury experience, you have a bunch of choices. Kobo is one of them. It presents a wide range of e-readers for you: kobo mini, kobo glo, kobo touch, kobo arc. Any of them is a great option on its own. Huge storage capacity, customizable, easy to read experience, light, fast, and you have access to more than 3 million eBooks.





What would you say about changing your way of perceiving the world completely? Sort of a blood taste experience. Because the new technologies not only revolutionize electronics, but your whole being also:

" After years of practice, I can walk into a bookstore 

and understand its layout in a few seconds. 

I can glance at the spine of a book and make a good guess 

at its content from a number of signs"

Umberto Eco

Now you see it: new types of books + new bookstores = new experiences of reading, of being. Perhaps along the e-readers, we go off the deep end to become new beigns.  

Apple's iPhone 5

Apple itself says it: "the biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone". Apple's iPhone 5 rocks the market, pre-ordering and everything. With it's super speed, wireless and an 8MP iSight camera technology, the iPhone 5 is the thinnest and lightest ever. It has everything you could've ever dream in the slightest of designs: messages, calendar, photos, camera, videos, maps, weather, passbook, notes, reminders, clock, stocks information, game center application. Incredible!. Plus, you can connect to any social network with it.

The iPhone 5 has been design with a considerable attention paid to precision. The combination of aluminium and glass makes the ultimate iPhone a work of art on its own. Brilliant design and meticulous technology unite here to deliver a wonderful experience.

Also, you would have to do something terrible to destroy it, since it's surface is made of sapphire crystal, providing a 4-inch (diagonal) retina display. The iPhone 5 just outplays it's "older" brothers, iPhone 4S and iPhone 4.


It looks like it's true, the iPhone 5 is indeed the biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone.
