Philips and Intel would be developing a portable tablet computer designed to accomodate medics’ need for watching over patients and sending data through their main computers in realtime. The tablet is 10.4 inches with a 1024 x 768 touch-screen resolution display. More information says that it has Bluetooth capabilities which runs through a Wi-Fi connection. Digital cameras to take pictures of patients and other important medical related snapshots are also expected to be in this nifty PDA.

Despite the PS3 having the greatest graphics of all time, there are still plenty of reasons you should hold off. Sony will sell tons of these consoles, but here are 5 reasons why you should hold off…

1. Price

Are you really ready to dish out around $600 for the console, plus the $60 games? And that’s if you manage to buy one in a Best Buy (which will be close to impossibles). If I were you i would wait at least a few months, where you may be able to save some money getting a used console.

2. The best games will come out next year

Although there are a few good launch titles this year, most aren’t amazing. You’ve got Call of Duty 3 and a few others but it won’t be a wowing selection. If you wait till next year, you’ll get some great games including…

Grand Theft Auto IV

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Final Fantasy XIII

Here’s a hint, don’t start dishing out tons of money until about a year. Most developers need to realize the PS3’s true capabilities before they start creating.

3. You could run across a bug

Looking at Sony’s history, the first batch of PS3’s could have some bugs. Sony has had problems with the PS3 and the Blu-ray drive inside. Plus, The first batch of PS2’s had trouble with their optical drives. Knowing Sony’s history, and knowing the fact that the PS3 will be much more technical and complex then the PS2, I would hold off a while until all the kinks are worked out. This way your PS3 will have a greater chance of surviving and lasting longer.

4. You’ll need HDTV to get the experience  

Unless you’ve got HDTV, your gaming experience won’t be as good as you thought. Without a high def. TV your going to realize that the games are going to feel like PS2 games but a notch higher. If I were you, I would wait around half a year because the prices on the HDTV’s are going to drop like crazy.

5. Good luck getting one 

Only 400,000 consoles are going to be shipped to the US. Although that’s a huge number, the hardcore gamers are going to gobble them up. It’s going to be virtually impossible to get one unless you’ve got a pre-order. Don’t think that you’re going to get any deal on eBay either. Every person who’s selling the PS3’s on eBay are thinking the same thing… “how much money can i suck out of these noobs.” Wait a year where you can casually walk into a store and pick one up.

Ever dropped your cell phone in the sink, or even worse the toilet ? Did you ever leave it in your pocket and run it through the washer? It usually means you have to replace your phone, but sometimes if you’re fast you can save the phone.

1. Remove the Battery. This is one of the most important steps. Don’t take time to think about it, electricity and water do not mix. Cutting power to your phone is a crucial first step in saving it.
2. Dry your Phone. Obviously you need to remove as much of the water as soon as you can to prevent it from getting into the phone. Use a towel or a paper towel to remove as much of the water as possible.
3. Allow the phone to dry. Since you do not want to ruin your phone or lose all the numbers in your phone book, you need to allow the phone to dry. Don’t try putting the battery back on to see if it works as this would risk damaging the phone with a short circuit. Leaving your phone in a bowl of dry rice will help to expedite moisture evaporation.
4. Heat your Phone. Apply enough heat to your phone to cause the water to evaporate without waterlogging your digital screen. One of the best things you can do to save a cell phone is to set it on the back of your computer monitor or TV screen over the heat vents. This is usually the perfect amount of heat to fix your phone. The convection action of the heat vents will help carry away the moisture in your phone. Leave the phone on the heat for at least 2-3 days.
5. Test your Phone. After you have waited 3 days, make sure everything is clean and dry looking and re-attach the battery to the phone and see if it works. If your phone does not work repeat step 4. If it still won’t work, try taking your cell phone to an authorized dealer. Sometimes they can fix it.

So with my quest to find financial freedom, I “googled” my way through searches looking for ideas on how I could fulfil this desire with minimum effort and expense. After all, I wanted to make money not spend it! I had aspirations of making wad loads of cash so my family & I could truly enjoy the pleasures of life – together.

Now I’ve been involved with eBay for a number of years and enjoyed the success and extra incidental profits from selling our own surplus & bought items but never really considered that we could substantially make money on eBay alone. So when I stumbled across some websites claiming to be able to do just that, I was intrigued.

This could very well be the best home business money making opportunity to have evolved in the past 50 years … possibly ever! eBay is one of the fastest growing companies in history. This in itself presents the opportunity for anyone to step right into a massive marketplace of over 47 million enthusiastic buyers and make money on eBay. With this kind of unlimited exposure for under a dollar, I thought ANYONE can launch a profitable home based business starting from scratch! So why not me?

Greatly excited by what I had discovered, I began to see my enjoyment for eBay as no longer a hobby but an amazing opportunity to fulfil our dreams and accomplish them with something I actually love to do … eBay!!!

Ok, so I settled by what means I wanted to achieve success but how would I go from being an occasional seller to being a high profit powerseller making serious money on eBay? I needed more information but I really did not want to pay for it.

You see, I was a “freebie seeker”. I was prepared to scour the vastness of the internet to find the “secrets of success” without monetary expense. Ironically though, I ended up spending all that “precious time” I was trying to save, searching and implementing instead. Hundreds of others had quit their jobs and were making a killing with their own home based business and so I was driven to find out how they did it – website after website after website, day after day after day … before I knew it, I’d spent a couple of months day and night trying desperately to piece it all together.

What was I thinking?! … Wasn’t the whole idea that I wanted to spend less time working and more time with my loved ones enjoying life!!! .. SO what happened?

I lost the plot! Along the way I saw a number of quality informative websites offering all the “secrets” for a reasonable cost that I could access instantly but I fooled myself into thinking I could find out all this information easily and without spending a dime. I continued to muffle my way through copious amounts of information and found bits and pieces, tips and suggestions for making money on eBay I thought I could use, but for the record, I made many mistakes along the way which cost me even more precious time.

So what have I learned? Well, actually I’ve learnt a great deal about how to make money on eBay but I’ve also gotten wiser! No longer am I prepared to sacrifice my precious commodity of time for the sake of saving a small amount of money (which incidentally, I would make back promptly by following the expert’s examples). If I find a resource I truly believe will be of benefit, I will happily purchase it to instantly get the information I need and make it work for me pronto.

My recommendation to you is to forget the notion of relying solely on freebie information and learn firsthand from the experts who have tweaked their knowledge & wealth with years of experience and tried and tested practices who are ready to reveal their eBay secrets to success.

With so many interested people, it’s no wonder many eBayers make their living from home by buying & selling items on eBay. An instant home business is right at your fingertips because eBay is the easiest way to start making money immediately from your own home! This is a real business opportunity but the level of success you achieve will be determined by learning the secrets & sources of those making a killing on eBay … The eBay Experts!

Don’t make the same mistakes I made … There are many shady guides on making money on eBay, most of them written by people who don’t make money on eBay themselves. They’re basically book reports (knock-offs or just plain plagiarisms) of the few legitimate “goldmine” guides out there. Now much wiser and finally privy to these expert’s secrets, we’ve put together a list of resources at our website that we consider are the *best* and are bestsellers – separating the wheat from the chaff.

You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. The key is to copy what is already working. Find out what IS working for these experts and copy what they do. It’s amazing that more people are not already doing this.

~ Are you ready? … You really could be the next “eBay Success Story”.

• Don’t use passwords that are based on personal information that can be easily accessed or guessed.
• Don’t use words that can be found in any dictionary of any language.
• Develop a mnemonic for remembering complex passwords.
• Use both lowercase and capital letters.
• Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters.
• Use different passwords on different systems.

Another good thing to do is think of any word, lets say “soccer”

instead of having “soccer” as your password, you can have something like “iltps” which stands for “I like to play soccer.”

If you plan on using the same password for many different sites, then make sure that your password is more then 6 letters, because many sites make you have a password that’s greater then 6 letters.
