Digital Photo Frames

What's the point in a digital photo frames? When I saw them being released onto the market I couldn't understand the purpose and just worried about the electricity being used. I mean, with real photos they just sit there doing nothing. They don't consume electricity and kill the planet. They are also pretty expensive and of course people are just puting it on their credit cards. It's no wonder that so many people are having to take out payday loans and such like. It's just stupid. I wish that people wouldn't buy technology just because it's there. Has it really improved people's lives? My friend has a few for displaying Cebu photography which are really nice but don't think they really need to be in a digital frame.

Netflix Player

With all the technology we have these days, I've always felt that DVDs seem a bit antiquated. We now have the internet as such an integral part of our lives, it's strange to go out and buy any kind of media let alone rent it.

I can't remember the last time I rented a DVD. That's probably because I've never done so, I stopped renting anything years ago. However it seems that Netflix are realizing that things are changing and that they need to keep up. That is why instead of just having the option to have DVDs sent by post, they are able to get you the movies direct to your TV screen.

Basically you get a box which you connect to your TV and this allows you to access an enormous range of movies at the touch of a button. It does cost $99.99 so isn't great for anyone who likes free stuff like me but you might find the cost worth while.

Drive Smarter Challenge

This is a very interesting news item that is close to my heart. I really hate to see people use more gas than they need to when driving in their cars. The amazing things is if people just chilled out a bit and drove in a more relaxed manner they would save themselves a lot of money on filling up their gas tanks.

Wal-Mart have donated $675,000 to encorage drivers to a drive smarter campaign designed to help educate people into driving better and lowering their bills. Although cars are getting more fuel efficient, gas prices are continuing to increase and there is little chance in a reversal of this trend.

I really hope that some good can come of the drive smarter challenge and that people don't simply ignore the advice because they still prefer to drive like total jerks.

Oh BTW, this is a great way to save money but if you are thinking of buying a car you should buy one that is used because the are cheaper and car auction prices are probably the best of them all.

Goldeneye Satellite

Does anyone know what this Goldeneye Satellite is? And more the point, why so many people have suddenly started searching for it. Afterall, I did see the term appear in Google Trends which means that thousands of people are now looking for info on the Goldeneye Satellite.

The only info I could dig up on Goldeneye Satellite is the fact that it is one of the many satellites that is orbiting the Earth, according to Space Porn website.

With the ability to fire an EM pulse that could have wiped out an entire nation's financial records, GoldenEye is typical of fictional satellites and representative of our fears of orbiting weapons.

GPS Gadgets

Everyone seems to talking about GPS these days, it's difficult to know whether it's really worth it or whether it's simply a fad that will die out. The GPS works to calculate where you are through satellite and are amazingly accurate with their time. You can access GPS wherever you are in the worl but isfixed to GMT. It used to be the those in aviation and maritime would use radionavigation however it would appear that GPS has taken over pretty much completely. Now it's also used for transportation on land where it will use GPS and also info about traffic, road works etc. GarmanGPS is one brand to look for. This means that vehicles used to transport goods will be able to work more effectively. How GPS basically works is that it saves waypoints on a route and when you go along that route it will tell you what the next course of action is.

PDA Medical Software

For those in the medical industry it was virtually impossible to remember all the details of patients. However luckily because of advances in technology, there is pda medical software that allows all the medical records at the touch of a button. Basically everything that could possibly be needed in terms of notes, transcription, records, information, medical procedure codes and bills are all there whenever they are required. If you have bought a PDA then you should consider buying medical software.

It could be easily said that the development of PDA medical software has revolutionized the management of medical records and the way in which they are used. Because of this software doctors and nurses have the ability to easily access all the notes they require and also enter new notes into a central computer system. This is especially useful for those with travel nursing jobs. This process is instant so that any other medical worker can see them instantly too.

Once people in the medical industry give this sort of medical palm software a go they quickly consider it an amazing tool they wouldn't want to go without. If a nurse really quickly needs details of different symptoms this can be done on the spot without having to go away to reference other info. The list of conditions and symptoms are right there for them to access if needed. This is so important when health is concerned because time is often of the essence.

In the event of an emergency care situation, the information can also be cross-referenced with other programs. The good news is that the software doesn't have to be used with just PDA systems, it can also work with PCs.

Also we live in a multi-cultural society these days and many people either cannot speak English or cannot speak it very well. The great thing about this sort of medical software is that translations can be made to and from English into many of the most popular languages. So if a doctor travels somewhere they can use the software for translations too.

With so many benefits for the medical industry, it's no wonder that palm medical software is so popular and much needed for many different situations where patient need to be treated by doctors and nurses. There are so many difficulties in the medical industry that making things as easy as possibly is well worth the cost.
