Every man and his dog is making a rival to the Eee PC, and understandably so–cheap, tiny laptops are the shape of things to come. The latest to join the fray is the unfortunately named MSI Wind, which was spotted doing the rounds at CeBIT 2008 in Germany.
It’s a little larger than the standard Eee PC and more customizable, so it manages to incorporate either an 8- or a 10-inch display and a keyboard that looks reasonably comfortable to work on. It’s said to be based on the forthcoming Intel Shelton ‘08 platform, with processor speeds ranging from 1GHz to 1.5GHz, solid-state or 2.5-inch hard drive options, 1GB of RAM, and either Linux or Windows operating systems. Battery life is reported to be in the region of 7 hours, although we’ll reserve judgement on that until we get one in.
It’s still in the prototype phase at the moment, but MSI has been showing off blue, silver and pink versions, all of which look pretty darned sexy. Prices reportedly start from 225 pounds ($454) for the cheapest, up to 530 pounds ($1,069) for the high-end models. - Crave UK
I think its about time that Opinion Republic gets a theme change. This current theme is kind of drab, don’t you think? Don’t worry your little heads off, I will change the theme to something more appropriate. Just thought I’d let you know. Cool.
Hi, everyone….. a friend of mine has a new blog — www.5millionpageviews.com. He’s trying to get 5 million page views, Although I’m not quit sure why. Anyway, he will have some interesting stuff….I hope and it would be awesome if everyone would join the quest…..the quest for 5 million page views. I’ve also given him my “Was that on YouTube?” segment so you can now see that on www.5millionpageviews.com as well as my blog….err…this blog.
So, check the site out, bookmark it, tell everyone about it, look at it 1 million times, and don’t forget to have a good day!!
This is the Indian version of Micheal Jacksons Thriller. Be prepared to laugh, so if their is anything in your mouth…. just spit it out….or something.
Also, a friend of mine started a blog called www.5millionpageviews.com and he is trying to get 5 million page views [hence the name, 5millionpageviews.com]. So, I kindly donated my “Was that on YouTube?” segment and I will also be writing on his blog as well. So, don’t forget to check it out and also don’t forget to let everyone know. He can’t get 5 million page views without you, the page view givers. LOL
Will still show this segment on this blog, but the same one will also appear on his.
Okay, lets get started on this one. Thriller - The Indian Version
Is cell phone recycling a good thing? Well, it depends. Lately their have been quite a few cell phone recycling companies out their and a lot to choose from. Witch one do you choose? Instinctively, you would probably go to the company that pays most for your phone, but WAIT!!! Are they really recycling it?
Yeah, that company will give you $20.00 for your RAZR instead of $15.00, but your forgetting the really reason why you are giving you phone away….Because you were going to throw it in the garbage, but instead you want to recycle it and get some extra cash. So, is cell phone recycling a good thing? Yes, but be careful who you recycle it with, So do some research about a company before you recycle with them. Often times just send them an email and see how fast they respond and what they say about recycling. I’ve been down this road and I will give you a few suggestions for those who need it.
Also another thing to look for is if one company collects only high end phones and electronics……Just don’t bother with them because they only want money. Go to companies that say, “Dude, we recycle every thing broken or not, even if it is ten years old just give it too use and we will recycle it.”
PhoneRaiser: This company mainly does fundraising, they don’t have an extensive pricelist, but they will except stuff from individuals as well. One time I made $1000 from them just be buying phones from Ebay and giving them to Phoneraiser. I’m pretty sure they recycle and their customer service is excellent.

e Cellular Recycling: This company also does mainly fundraising, but they will handle individuals as well, they have a very extensive pricelist and they do actually give good prices for low end and old phones. They also except MP3 Players, Digital Cameras, and video game consoles. They have wonderful Customer Service and they except any phone broken in half or not, same goes for everything else.

GRC Recycling: These guys are good and they actually do recycle, unlike the people below me. Their customer Service is good although it could be better. I’m pretty sure they do fundraising as well as individuals.

SecondRotation: Wow, these guys are NOT good, I should even have them on my blog. They only collect High End electronics and even worse THEY SELL THEM ON EBAY. They buy your RAZR for god knows how much, only to sell it on Ebay for $100.00 bucks. Give me a break. I have some stuff to say about these guys, but lets save that for another post. I will give you their website so you can compare the prices they give you and notice the fact that they only do High End electronics. These are the people you need to beware of. They just got a $4.4 million dollar investment from some guys including an Ebay CEO. Now is that what they call a recycling comapany, it looks more like a Let’s-buy-peoples-electronics-cheap-say-we-are-recycling-it-and-sell-it-on-ebay company.

Well, thats it for know, I hope this helps anyone. Stay tuned for my next post about SecondRotation.
Have your friends ever shown you a YouTube video and then you laughed so hard that Coca Cola flew out of your nose only to have said, “Was that on YouTube?”
Well, ask no more because here’s introducing my new “Was that on YouTube?” segment. Every Friday I will post a YouTube video that will make you ask yourself, “Was that on YouTube?” I know today is not Friday, but with no further delay lets kick this thing off right now.
This is a music video “Team Work” from the kids show Reading Rainbow.
Here is a description of the YouTube video:
Probably the most loved segment in the entire series, this classic clip of Teamwork is from the episode A Chair for My Mother, first shown in 1984. Reading Rainbow is hosted by Levar Burton of Roots and Star Trek: The Next Generation fame. It still continues to run on PBS affiliates and in schools around the country encouraging kids to read books. Sesame Street and Mister Roger’s Neighborhood are the only children’s shows to run longer on public television.
I remember this video, of course not from 1984, but I actually liked it. I used to always sing this song in my head until I decided to look for it and before you know it I was laughing my head off watching this on YouTube. Reading Rainbow truly is a very good show, I loved it and on any given day I would watch it again. I think it comes on like a 1:00 P.M or something, on PBS.
Dude! This is better the High School Musical 1 and 2!!
