Help answer the question about gadgets
If I run a variety of widgets/gadgets on my desktop, will they "burn" into the screen?I have a digital clock, weather, and other desktop widgets that I run on my monitor.
It's LCD and not plasma, so I don't think there should be a problem with anything "burning" into the screen and leaving a permanent mark. However, to be cautious, should I still move the gadgets every now and then?
you could try asking in the consumer electronics section…
There always seems to be a lot of gadgets and other neat gift ideas in the Sky Mall magazine on the airplane. You can find all of the same items on their website too.

i dont ever leave home without my gun
knife lighter flashlight cash
petroleum jelly
and clothes
I can only assume you need to open the desktop gadgets program and see if there is an item to check that locks them in place. Since I don't use those, this is only a suggestion.
I prefer real books as well… but I don’t prefer to lug them around, so Im getting an e-reader. Only question is, should i get the Sony or the Nook? (Im not getting the kindle due to amazons proprietary e-book format).
i don’t need the Sony reader i need ya baby
Oh no I don’t mean real books, I mean the e-books would be pirated, I prefer real books myself, I feel it would be easier to turn to a page you are interested in going back to. Though it’d be easier to find keywords in e-books (if they had a find feature) if you were writing a paper on it.
Packing the kitchen is one of those things you really hate to do, simply because there are so many small items and items you're never quite sure you should pack or not.
For a family-sized kitchen, you'll need the following:
* 5 Large Boxes (18 x 18 x 24): For lightweight and hard to pack items such as plastic kitchenware, dish racks, small appliances, baking tins.
* 10 Medium Boxes (18 x 18 x 16): For heavier items such as small appliances, pantry items, pots and pans, silverware, contents of drawers, cookbooks.
* 5 Heavy Duty Boxes (18 x 18 x 28): These have thick, double-walls, perfect for packing fragiles, such as plates, glasses, stemware, wine and canisters.
* Unprinted Newswrap: To pack fragiles, including food items, small appliances. Purchase a 4-5 lbs bundle.
* Bubblewrap: Purchase a 36 ft roll or if it saves money, purchase additional amounts. You'll need it to pack other rooms.
* 5-10 Cell Kits (18 x 18): Cell kits are extremely useful for packing glasses, stemware, wine and liquor bottles. I've also used them to pack figurines, vases and canisters. Check the sizes of your cell kits to ensure they'll fit into the boxes you have.
* 5 Packing/Sealing Tape: Purchase in bulk as you'll need it for packing all your rooms.
* Marker, labels: Again purchase enough so you can pack your entire house.
I prefer real books.
Ebooks are hard on my eyes Anyways.
Pirate’s would use ALOT of INK and Super Duper Scanners (fast and high quality), just to pirate Real books.
I like her voice!
Perhaps you didn’t read that report where a Publisher forced Amazon to pull a eBook from all of their customers Kindle and give a ReFund.
So, go ahead and get a eBook Reader
I’m waiting for a report that says WiFi and/or Computer Crackers have a picnic.
I refuse to buy a Kindle or a Sony Reader.
Here’s an idea, do you have an actual shelf with Books, pick up a REAL book and actually read it.
Okay, so if hes into electronics you could get him the latest phone out with the applications he likes. or an ipod and docking station.
or if you want to stay away from the gadget side of things you could get him tickets to his favourite team or show?
Or use google and see if theres any gadget shows coming up. if that makes sense?
lol, hope i helped
Lovely, just lovely. I cannot wait to get my grubby hands on this fabulous piece of technology.
good idea grandpa
I dont think its poosible.
Sorry you have to manage it
On Friday, Oct. 24th, Oprah had her newest favorite gadget! It is a dedicated electronic reader called "The Kindle". You can see one at Amazon.com. This reader can download a book in a minute or less and also can play music and has WiFi capabilities if you are in a Sprint Whispernet area. I was so impressed by the design and functions of the "The Kindle" that I ordered one that very day and should be getting it this Thursday. I read a lot and books are so expensive. Amazon.com currently has just over 190,000 books available to down load (and added more daily) for usually less than half the price of either a hardback or paperback book. "The Kindle" can also download newspapers and magazines (minus adds and some syndicated publishings) for much less than you pay at the newsstands. I searched everything I could find about "The Kindle" before ordering mine and I found very few people who didn't like theirs. Even my husband got excited over this new gadget. Never thought I would like to even think about reading something without actually feeling the paper and smelling the ink just as Oprah said she didn't think she would either, but I am willing to give it a thorough testing because it will pay for itself rapidly! This device was marketed at $399.00, but Amazon has it on sale for $359.00 (sorry folks, Friday was the only day for Oprah's $50.00 discount). There are no additional monthly costs other than the books you buy. You can also download books to your computer if you do not get the Sprint Whispernet in your area, which is what I will have to do. However, if I step just a half-hour drive outside my hometown, I could download as many books as I want without my computer. I go out of town a lot so it shouldn't be a problem for me. You can own up to six 'Kindles' per account and share the books among your family. If you loose you Kindle or something happens to a book, Amazon keeps a copy of each and every item you have download and you can download it again for free. Cool, I think! You can change the font size of your text from very small to very large. The screen is made with "E-ink" and unlike plasma or LCD, you can easily see the text while outside, but if you read in bed at night as I do, you will need a lamp or booklight which is no problem to clip on just as an ordinary book. I could tell you more, but you really should check this out, particularly if you are an avid reader, on the go a lot, or even if you just want to share this with a friend. You can also put it in a ziplock bag and take it to the beach or read in the bathtub (which I love to do!). Hope this helped.
