Netgear is a great brand. They release quality products at affordable prices. I actually have a Netgear router and it works great. I definitely recommend their products.

There's an app for every occasion. I'm sure you could sit and think of anything in the world, type in the keywords, and a related app would be there.

Companies want to get rid of their old product as fast as possible and push their new device for inflated prices. For those of us who don't mind having "outdated" phones, it's a steal.

I find it odd when people who never smoked start vaping. Why bother? I've known a handful of people like this. They're also the type to buy special e-juice that makes obnoxiously large "clouds". Anyway, it's still nice to see the industry... See more

Smart home innovation has been progressing rapidly. I feel like I find out about 10 new gadgets weekly that control some part of my house I never even thought would benefit from being automated. Looks like a Jetson's house isn't so far off... See more

I love my gaming mouse, even if I don't do very much gaming lately! It's just better than using a regular mouse. This model is really good. I really like the sound of the Powerplay charging mouse pad.

The watch looks amazing. I've recently been tracking my daily physical activity through an app on my smartphone but it can't compare to this. I'm a numbers nerd and love delving into stats, charts, etc. This looks like it may be the perfect fit... See more

The PS5 sounds pretty awesome. The improved audio seems like it's going to be incredible. I'm eager for information on new games. Hopefully it can live up to the hype. 
techgirl commented on New Leak: OnePlus 7 Pro

The pop-up selfie camera seems prone to damage. Imagine what would happen if you had it out and then you dropped your phone. It's inevitably going to get damaged.

I'm also a fan of modular devices. It's extremely important and should be adopted by more companies. Most of us don't have to face the consequences of electronic waste, but it's out there, and it's a huge problem.

I really like the news archive search. I knew you could click the News tab to search current news, but I didn't realize how powerful the feature could be. I'm going to be checking this out for sure!
techgirl commented on Pay to Make Email Better?

Personally, I would be willing to pay for something that made my life easier, as long as it was priced fairly. I think sometimes we feel too entitled to be able to get everything for free.

Wow, thirty years! That actually makes the Internet seem young, in my opinion. Doesn't it seem like it's been around forever? Imagine what the next thirty years have in store for us.

I think it's good to have kids use something else besides their phone for taking photographs. Also, you just can't beat the novelty of having a camera that prints the photo right away.

Interesting. I've put my phone in rice after getting wet many times and it always seemed to work. There was no damage to my device.

This sounds like an underhanded move to stop Huawei from winning the 5G race. I agree that it's politically motivated. They're using the national security card to try and get what they want.

Cool phones. It's nice to see something other than the usual newest Samsung, Google or Apple phone. Unfortunately, the article doesn't have any mention of the prices.

I'm having trouble imagining why someone would want to bend their phone into a watch. It seems like more of a novelty item than something truly useful.
techgirl commented on Rumored Pixel 4 Features
techgirl
I don't currently have a dual SIM phone but it seems like it would be quite useful. Lots of people have a personal phone and a work phone. Having a dual SIM would cut out the need for a second phone.

Apple may lose revenue but I think it's a smart move. People are very concerned about their privacy online. Their users will appreciate this policy.

Yarn and Messenger Lite are the apps that stood out to me. Yarn especially seems very interesting. It's a creative twist on storytelling that appeals to the current generation.

The video asks, "What will be the future of mobility?" Well, I don't think it's a huge watch. People use smartphones as portable computers.  There just isn't enough screen space on such a device to replace a smartphone.

It looks pretty decent. I don't find it to be too expensive either. Look at how much a Dyson costs. I'm not in the market for a new vacuum, but if I was, I would consider this one. My next purchase may just be a Roomba!

I haven't printed anything outside of work for years. Having a printer at home seems odd to me even though we always had one growing up. The need to print things is less and less as technology evolves.

Disgusting. Microsoft should be held legally accountable for allowing these images to show up on their search engine. This is Microsoft, not some shady, underground, Dark Web company. Whoever allowed this "oversight" to exist should be fired.
techgirl commented on Guide to Self-Driving Cars

I don't like the thought of self-driving cars. I love to drive, I do it recreationally whenever I can. Driving gives me a sense of independence and freedom. Being driven by a self-driving car would eliminate that.

Thanks for posting this article. My laptop always feels like it's getting too hot, even when it's not plugged in! I'm going to check the fans, maybe they're dirty.  I'm thinking that I should also invest in a laptop cooling pad.
