This is a great use of your cell phone's camera for the holiday season, since many people go out to dinner, parties, and drink wine while out. There have been many times where I tasted a new bottle of wine, decided I loved it, and tried to remember what it was called so I could purchase it later.
I never remember. I blame my bad short-term memory and the actual wine drunk.
So now I have taken to snapping a shot of the wine's label with my iPhone or BlackBerry. Now I never forget my new favorites!
Whatever the outcome, Barack Obama will still have his iPhone, no matter how elusive it's been so far. Oh, but since he is going to be the president, I think it's high time that he upgrades that baby to a 3G.
As I've already discussed, Etymotic earphones are perfect for smaller earlobes since they come with an assortment of foam eartips for the perfect fit. They also offer noise isolation technology, so you will only hear your music and not surrounding sounds. What I instantly noticed about the lightweight hf5s is their clarity and ability to offer such accurate acoustics. But if you like a lot of bass, I'd say invest in a pair of Atrio series earphones, which offer more of a surround-sound experience. For the best audio output with the hf5s, make sure the eartips are properly sealed in your ear canal, or else the outside sounds will not be blocked properly.
You can pick up a pair of the hf5s from Amazon for $149.
I know how you're feeling right now: stressed, confused, and panicked. Stressed because you know you haven't finished your holiday shopping, confused as to what to get, and panicked because Christmas is a short little week away.
Not to freak you out even further, but if you are ordering gifts online, in most cases, today is the last day to ship your gifts in order to get them wrapped and under the tree by Christmas. But there is some good news to all this worry — a lot of times, you'll find that standard shipping is free!
Where do you find such wonderful deals? I'll tell you about them, and about some other sweet procrastination-friendly savings when you read more
I know that I have stated rather emphatically how much I love my cell phone (and maybe "swooned over" is truer than "stated"), but taking that vow to the grave — literally — is pretty major.
The article goes on to mention that this is not limited to phones — some people have been buried with iPod earbuds in, music playing — which I find kind of touching. There's also the factor that modern devices have much of what we treasure on them, like photos of our loved ones, which seems comforting.
But I just can't get the idea of a ringtone emanating from a coffin. . . and a call that will always go to voicemail. And what about the environmental impact of all of these gadgets going to the grave? What do you make of this phenomenon?
When Lipstick Jungle's Nico Reilly showed up with a white iPhone 3G during this week's episode, I'm pretty sure my eyes bugged out like an old-timey cartoon. Wasn't it JUST the week before that she debuted a black iPhone 3G? This TV character's cell phone upgrades are as dizzying as another blonde diva's in her second season.
Check out the many, many cell phone choices of Nico in her two seasons of Lipstick Jungle.
