Sometimes you get bored browsing the net for information, news or anything else that you might need, and just want some good old procrastination. Online games are perfect for that. And fortunately, internet is abundant in such sources of fun.

Games online

With the increasing popularity of social network sites, a lot of people turn to them not just for sharing things with friends, but also for fun. this is more or less obvious to anyone that is using social networks as a source of games online, as most of the posts are actually game related. People that don’t want to spam their friends news feeds or people that don’t really like using social networks can get their daily dose of procrastination on websites dedicated specifically for games. Y3 games is a good example of such site. There you can find hundreds or even thousands of games of almost any genre. These simple, casual games are really popular, as they are easy to play and fast to load. You don’t have to install anything or fill out any information, you just click and play. You would be surprised how many people played a Y3 game at one point in their life. And most of them come back to play another game.

When it comes to playing the games on these sites, most of them are made in flash, and that is the only requirement you have in order to run them. Most of the computers already have flash installed, so you shouldn’t worry about that. You just pick the game from a list by clicking on the thumbnail and the game will load.

Choosing the best router

The router that provides your computer with an Internet connection is something you should take seriously although it doesn’t seem to make a big difference at first. In fact: it makes the difference between the easy and convenient way of turning your home into a hot spot of networking; and having troubles with your Internet connection too often. The advantage of the use of a wireless router is that it doesn’t require holes to be drilled in your house and you won’t have to deal with wires which will save you money, time and nerves. Thomson is a recognized manufacturer of routers and it would definitely be my personal recommendation, since I have had only good experience with their devices. You should make a decision of the needs you want the router device to meet. Most of the basic routers will provide you with Internet access, but not all of them are great for streaming music, videos, gaming or photos across the home network. If you need to provide those activities in your home, you will definitely need one of the stronger routers on the market. You should also consider the positioning of your router because that is a factor that can change the quality of the Internet connection. If you make a mistake with the positioning, you would have problems with any kind of router. When you decide to get a certain model of router according to your needs and conditions, you should keep the manual in a safe place because you will need it eventually when it comes to troubleshooting your device. You can find the manual online easily, but if your Internet connection fails because of your router, that action won’t be simple as typing thomson tg782 manual in the search engine and getting the answer in one click. That’s why it is important to save the documents that come with all of your electronic devices.  Sources: Maytag Quiet Series 300 Manual and Kenmore Washer Manual

The bright future of the radio

A: Marina

We are not sure how the internet will look like in 10 or 15 years as we are not sure how each and every mass media will look in 5 years now, but one thing is certain: the radio just got its groove back. Maybe it won’t look like a regular radio, but we are all willing to take that gamble as long as we can enjoy this perk of manhood. Some people say that the audio is never the same as the video plus audio combination, but we clearly and respectable disagree. Although it looks like the radio networks will move towards the smarter interactive audio content, this will have positive outcome as the people will get more personalized experience.

Though the television companies are trying to suck us into the world of staged imagery, there are five radio companies that will protect us from the big bad vision wolf and safeguard the radio future. These five companies are: Stitcher Radio, Pandora, Spotify, National Public Radio and Clear Channel. I am more than positive that much more companies will fight the radio battle in 10 or 15 years, and I am glad that people are slowly getting fed up by all this vision and coming back to the radio waves. Clearly all of this which is written is not enough for your insatiable desire for knowledge on the future of the radio, that is why I recommend reading the article posted on 12th of December 2012 on readwrite.com by John Paul Titlow.

Time magazine top 10 gadgets of 2012 list

Time magazine is famous for its “Of the year” lists, so it is no surprise that they have comprised top 10 gadgets of 2012 year. The winner? Apple’s iPhone 5. Though we are more than certain that Apple won’t sell as much iPhones as Samsung will see Galaxy S III this year, people responsible for this coveted prize explain their choice by calling the iPhone 5 the most craftily refined gadget that anyone has ever built. Having in mind that Apple sold only 11 million iPhones compared to the 18 million Galaxy S III, this may come as shock and surprise to the consumers, especially when we all know that the Galaxy was the 2012 customer’s choice.

As I could read some of the reviews online, there is a certain portion of people who believe that Apple paid off the selectors, and that this award is nothing more than a desperate attempt made from Apple in order to save the reputation and the image tainted by the many ongoing lawsuits and litigations. Frankly, I do not believe any of these rumors, as I would clearly give my vote for iPhone, because I believe that this phone is much more sophisticated in comparison to the boring Galaxy S III.
