Gadgets for Girls – There is nothing wrong with pink

Sunday, September 25th, 2011

Article by Tara McFarnaham

Most women seem to have a knack for painting their world pink whether it’s pink clothes, pink shoes or even pink accessories! Nowadays, pink has now extended to the gadgets they use such as mobile phones, laptops, and digital cameras with one of the most in demand gadgets for girls being the laptop or notebook. If like me you always want to be the center of attention, then of you will likely be a dedicated follower of fashion which is no bad thing and has paved the way for the immense popularity of these pink gadgets for girls.

Pink as much as I love it can have the tendency to be loud when it is too bright of a shade, however you will find that most of the trusted brands like HP, Dell, and Apple are well aware of this and as such use a lighter shade of pink or perhaps a subtle blend for their own pink gadgets. Being fashionable and trendy means choosing just the right shade of pink, one that isn?t tacky and girls still want to come off as professionals even if we’re carrying around a bright pink notebook! A pink notebook that has a smooth and sleek design, projecting elegance is definitely a must-have for girls who have a high fashion sense.

These gadgets for girls, though fashionable, are also highly efficient and not just based upon a purely aesthetically pleasing design. When you purchase a pink notebook, you will find that these fashionable gadgets are not wanting in the technology department, that’s right, they are not just for show ? these gadgets actually work and can compete in terms of features with other more masculine notebooks. You will find that you can also play online games, surf the net with ease while you do your work, and without experiencing slowdowns.

Finding a suitable pink or other feminine notebook is not all that hard and for me the real challenge lies in the selection of the best and the most cost-effective product. If you are not quite sure what to look for, you might want to bring along a friend who is knowledgeable about the technology side of things to help you choose the best notebook. It is not just enough to choose the prettiest notebook there is, you still have to make sure that you are getting one that actually works and has enough power to deal with your everyday requirements.

If you really must have the most fashionable or prettiest gadget, make sure that you not only look at their aesthetic appeal, but also that you’re purchasing gadgets that you can use for years to come and that won’t be out of date within a matter of months. If you choose the most beautiful gadget but one that will break down easily, then you are not getting your money’s worth!

Faux gun hides girly stuff inside

Friday, June 24th, 2011

Take a gander at this. This may be the weirdest makeup compact in the history of makeup. The thing looks like a handgun, but instead of bullets the gadget hides all the make up a well to do woman with a handgun fetish would need for a night of dodging the cops or sitting in security at the airport. The device is made by Ted Norton, a Dutch Jewelry designer.

There are two versions with one in white called Dior 001 and the other in black called Channel 001. The Dior 001 version will cost $11,500 and packs inside a Dior lip gloss, antique hairpin, 18K gold toothpick, perfume, and a 50-gram 24K gold bar. It also has a spot for a umm…Viagra pill… and a flash drive.

The other version is the Channel 001 you see here in black. This one is $17,000 and has the same stuff inside with Channel branded cosmetics. You have to go back to the designer’s studio to refill the makeup if you need to. The gold bar is the weird thing to me, it’s not like in a pinch you can pay the cabbie in gold and get change.

Pivot Power Strip by Quirky Makes Charging Easier

Friday, June 10th, 2011

We have all been there, 30 outlets, but only able to use 6. Nothing is more frustrating than buying a monster power strip with 30 or more outlets only to find most of them are un-useable. Not because there is something wrong with the outlets, but the shape of the power adapter you are plugging in ends up covering 2 or 3 additional outlets. Then there are those fat power adapters that can only be plugged in from one angle and naturally that angle makes almost half the power strip useless. Pivot Power, from Quirky has a solution. Pivot Power is a flexible power strip that can help reduce some of that frustration.

Each outlet on the Pivot Power can bend or flex to help find a more convenient angle to plug something in. There is a hinge between every outlet on the strip. This allows more flexibility when choosing how to plug something in, literally. They only swivel in the side to side direction; it would have been nice to see one or two of the outlets bend in the vertical direction also. But as it is, the Pivot Power could probably help simplify the process many of us have to deal with when trying to find a free outlet.

It comes in white with six feet of cord and six flexible outlets. Six outlets is not enough for most of us, so we will have to buy a few. Just don’t give in to the temptation to daisy-chain the power strips together in a long line with one plugged in to another. It offers 672 Joules of surge protection, and is available for $29.99. Not the only power strip solution of its kind, but we like the overall design. It looks like it will match Ikea style décor. (That may or may not be a positive for you.)
