Your Electronics and the Power of Documentation

Let me walk you through a scenario:

You just bought a 1000 television – the best that Best Buy could offer – and you’ve just finished mounting it to the wall. You have a great night enjoying it and then the weather strikes. Point is, you weather the storm and you come downstairs to your man cave only to find the television on the floor – cracked.

After you finish cursing and picking up the pieces, you realize that you have home insurance.

Unfortunately, if you’ve gone through ShopHomeInsurance.net or any of the various providers you can find online, then only a fraction of the insurance could cover your belongings. Sometimes that’s enough to cover the damage, but what if it’s not?

Well, that’s where the power of documentation can come in handy.

You see, when you make a big purchase like some kind of theatre-quality television, you should always hold onto the receipt. Not just for returning purposes, but so you have something to show the insurance people when you make a claim.

By having an accurate and authentic receipt of the damaged television, you can accurately display the worth of the appliance to the providers and it makes a claim even easier to file with favorable results.

Something to think about next time you want to empty your pockets full of receipts into the trash.

In this day and age, many people do not even leave their homes without a digital camera with them. Taking pictures is the ideal way to remember special moments in your life. You never know when you may want to take a picture of something, so it is recommended to have your digital camera with you at all times. Because old photographs are typically not in digital format, you may want to put them onto your computer to share with others online or to simply look at when on the computer. Photo scanners can be used to do just that. By placing a photograph face-down in the scanner bed, it can be scanned on to your computer and saved for viewing at a later time.

Our favorite digital cameras bring high quality pictures and high performance together. While the Canon EOS Rebel T3i is not as portable at other digital cameras, this DSLR has the ability to take amazing quality photos with a wide variety of features. A more compact option is the Canon PowerShot S95, a point and shoot camera that even beginners can use. The Epson Perfection V500 photo scanner is an affordable and easy to use option for scanning pictures onto the computer.

Best and Worst Features Of Latest Samsung Galaxy

admin — Sun, 20 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000

With a new year comes a new phone by Samsung. This time they are iterating one of their most successful phones to date, the Galaxy. This time it’s the Samsung Galaxy S3, but are the features worth upgrading for? Or is this just an iteration that people can avoid all together?

The first thing that you will notice when you get your hands on the Samsung Galaxy S3, it feels like a cheap plastic when compared to the S2. This is a colossal disappointment. You would assume that they would have at least stuck with the previous feel, which felt right. This phone feels more like a toy rather than a top of the line smart phone.

Samsung announced their attempt at creating a Siri clone a few months before the phone came out. The idea was fairly exciting; the problem is that most iPhone users don’t even use Siri. The S-Voice as Samsung calls it, is designed to have all the features that Siri has but improve on it. Seems like a missed opportunity to improve something that matters, since most users won’t use a voice interface for their phone.

Absolutely the best feature that Samsung has improved on this itteration is their Smart Stay feature. This feature uses the front facing camera to track your eyes are they move across the screen. If your eyes aren’t looking at the screen, then the screen will turn on and off accordingly. This leads to saving battery life and stops the screen from going dark while reading, an extremely annoying “feature” on most phones.

Overall, it’s not worth it to upgrade from an S2. If you are planning on getting a new phone anyways, than it might be worth picking up the S3. Don’t expect too much from it, and you will be more than happy with the phone.
