By Brenda Stokes on Wednesday, Sep 10th 2008 No Comments
Since Sony has come under a lot of fire for their advertised battery life and how that differs from the actual experienced battery life, the company will soon be switching to a different means of measuring the life of their batteries.

Previously, the battery life was determined by taking the average of the length of time a battery lasted while idle and while playing a movie. Now, the results of these tests will better reflect the results users can experience at home as they perform a multitude of tasks on their notebooks.

Gizoo Wind-Up Remote Control leaves batteries behind
By Brenda Stokes on Wednesday, Aug 13th 2008 1 Comment
If you’re tired of replacing the batteries in your remote controls, why not opt for one universal remote? Many have already made the switch, but now you can get rid of those batteries for good with the Gizoo Wind-Up Remote Control.
