It specifically contains 104 Aesop’s fables, 20 A Child’s Garden of Verses, 37 Teaching Manners, 154 Mother Goose rhymes and a thousand vocabulary words. All contents were studied thoroughly by the experts of American Institutes for Learning.

With this learning device, you don’t need to buy volumes of books for you to be able to learn English. It’s also very handy that you can listen to it anytime, anywhere. It’s also a great way to attract children to give time to study instead of just spending time with the console. With a very helpful gadget like this, no doubt that the future generation will be able to master the English language fluently.

Last Friday, A-Z Marketing and Reverie Communication and Connections formally launched the said product and it’s now available to the public.

Grander Human Technology But Natively Restricted

August 20, 2008 · Comments 

We all have these unique and weird personal taste of our favorite breakfast meal, lunch express food, our own sober taste of meal that is. Some of us prefer spicy delicacies, others carve for juicy and sweet ones. Most of us hunger for our own personal taste at a mouthful level when it comes to personal food taste.

I was in in my elementary school, at 6th grade hearing the news that a failing satellite is currently falling and could probably fall into our area. I was so alarmed and confused then, thinking how could a man-made high-tech space wagon successfully launched away from earth’s gravitational force and ejected itself into earth’s atmosphere and suddenly failed to carefully hover down to earth’s human soil? And so, I skipped out that school day and immediately went back home without telling my teacher back then.

Simply speaking, technology had brought us far from humans have ever imagined. We have touched down our very own satellite which we called moon, we have explored planet Mars and we have even gone farther than Pluto and discovered more planets besides from the named 9 planets of our own solar system. Human technology had jumped us ahead of our time and decades, in a grander scale that is.

Yes, technology had done this, did that, been there, covered that, and um dit dat dot com. Plaks! What about our very own and little-minding personal grunchy taste like our favorite breakfast meals or lunch foods. When could our current technology bring our hunger to a higher level of satisfaction and convenience, than of eating and having a taste of our favorite food?

When the other one is missing, it's alienating and boring. When you combine the three of them, now that is a human thing. Are you? Oh, ilovetux.com is only one of his newest craziness.

Soon there will be a phase out of those 3.5 GB DVD that you are always using when burning DVD movies.

Pioneer has released on what they claim as the world’s first 16-layer optical disc. With 400 GB Capacity [ An ordinary 3.5 GB DVD ) is only Single Layer.

Right now the technology is Read Only but I do believed that soon they will release the Re-write version of this DVD. But how much will the machine to rewrite this DVD cost?

Let us see what will happen next. Maybe I have to go back to this post after a year?

Anyway, it is really great that Technology is advancing. Just imagine if your regular DVD could hold about 4 movies, this DVD would hold about 200 + Movies.

Is The Mouse Headed For The Dustbin?

June 29, 2008 · Comments 

Sayonara mouse, you have outlived your usefulness. Or has it?

I read a very interesting article at itmanagement.earthweb.com a couple of days ago positing the demise of one of the greatest peripherals ever created in computing history– the mouse. The article cites the emergence of touch technology (e.g. touch screens, touchpads) and the compatibility of gaming control devices(joysticks, other non-mouse gaming input devices) with the PC as factors that could deliver a deathblow to the mouse.

Another mouse replacement alternative mentioned is the cutting-edge ‘brain reading’ devices that allows the user to interact with his computer using his thoughts. Emotiv Systems is actually coming up with one of these brain reading devices. Checkout Emotiv’s device demo here to appreciate.

You can read the entire article here.

I don’t know about you folks but I am still more comfortable using the mouse even with my laptop unless I’m on my bed watching Porntugal kick the living daylights out of Czechoslovakia (rrright) in Euro 2008. Somehow I have a feeling that I’ll end up with shorter fingers if I keep using the mousepad, you know with all those finger rubbing and dragging across the pad.

For PC gaming, seriously, who likes playing NFS carbon using your mouse and keyboard if you can afford buying the wheel? As for that brain-reading-headset-thingy, unless I’m a quadriplegic (paralyzed from the neck down), I’d probably pass on those facial gestures and twitchings. But it’s too early to say. Perhaps these devices would indeed make the mouse obsolete.

But for the time being, I say long live the mouse! Just try and pace yourself while mousing though, you don’t want to end up with a carpal tunnel syndrome.
