Tech With Xecab

I have to confess that I kind of feel like an idiot. When I’m composing an email and want to go back into Gmail and look at an existing email, I have to save my email in order to get back to all mail. No longer. I never noticed the little button on the top [...]

I think Microsoft has finally been able to produce a good commercial for Windows and PCs. I really enjoyed the commercial and found myself really caring about what is happening to the lady. Good work! Tags: Ad, Computer, Laptop, Microsoft, Notebook, Windows

Starting April 7th, iTunes will change the pricing of individual songs. The price on tracks which are considered popular will increase from $.99 to $1.29. Tracks not considered popular any longer will have a price decrease from $.99 to $.69. There has been talk about this happening for years. I guess I am in favor [...]

The Blackberry Storm looks like a great phone, however I’m not completely convinced that it is the Blackberry for me to get. Not having a keyboard worries me since I would be composing a lot of emails on the phone. The touch screen for a keyboard is just not going to work as well. Now [...]

I remember back in 1997 when DVDs had just started to come out walking into Wal-Mart and there, well, not being any. When I asked the staff about these illusive discs would say they never heard of a DVD and I would be given that look of despair on their face. I still receive the [...]

With the Nintendo DS nearing retirement, it seems only fitting that we should have a look back at the great moments the game system has enjoyed. At the time of its release, many didn’t know what to make of it, including myself. Why would a game system need two screens? How can someone look at [...]

I have been using the Motorola Razr Maxx Ve with Verizon Wireless for the last couple of years and it has been a fabulous phone. To date, I have talked approximately 800 hours on the same unit, never having had to get it exchanged. This is worth mentioning since it is very unusual to get [...]

What is your favoirte video game of all time? Trying to figure one our for myself is hard. If I was hard pressed for an answer, I would have to say Street Fighter 2 Turbo. I have played this for years. Other games that are some of my favorites include Unreall Tourament 2003/2004, Quake 3 [...]

I and many others have noticed that Asus as of late has been releasing a fury of new netbooks and other gadgets. Asus is a company I have been purchasing products from for a number of years. I have always been impressed with their motherboards and continue to purchase them for myself and customers. A [...]

Most email programs have a preview pane. To me this is the most important feature I would like to have that Gmail does not currently offer. Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, Outlook Express and even Yahoo Mail, they all have it. They have this feature for a reason, because it’s useful. I’m hoping Gmail will implement this [...]

My wife is a big fan of candles. She loves to burn them and make our room smell nice. But the price of these candles is a bit much when you think about it. At $22.99, you get about 50 hours of continuous burning. There are other companies that make candles and some seem to [...]

The cellphone maker LG needs to get iwth the times and creat it’s own app store to provide apps for a wide range of it’s phones. The Dare, Voyager and now Versa could all take advantage of small applications. Like the iPhone App Store, the LG apps could be free and paid, depending on the [...]

Ever since I first puchased both of my iPod Nano 4G units, the players have experienced a problem where the video playlist option continues to show up on the home screen. This will happen once in a while and almost every time the battery gets completely drained. This has to be software related, so a [...]

I just can not decide on whether or not to get a Blackberry Storm. It looks like a nice phone, but the keyboard is where I have my real concern. The virtual keyboard just is not the same as having the real thing. After hearing from many other people about the keyboard, they also said [...]

The way we use email is changing rapidly. We have come to the point where the email program with the exception of Microsoft Outlook is dead. Outlook is an exception only in that it has a slightly longer amount of life due to it’s PIM function and that businesses are so dependent. Over the years [...]
