Save Your Eyes from Computer, Save Yourself for Your Future

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Not rare commodities any more, computers are “ubiquitous” nowadays. We could easily get one from electronics wholesalers, retailers or directly from their manufacturers; for cheaper ones, we could buy from wholesale electronics sellers via internet. Many of us use this modern device for more than 12 hours a day and seldom take breaks during the period of usage. How could our eyes bear for so long time? Undoubtedly, we always suffer from squinting, blurred vision, eye strain, focusing disorder/fatigue, dry eyes, etc.

Save your eyes from computer now, save yourself for your future. Apply the following in your daily and farewell to computer-related eye problems!

About your drink:
Chrysanthemum tea gives good protection to your eyes. Chrysanthemum can effectively improve eye tiredness and blurred vision. Chinese, since traditional times, have known the magic of Chrysanthemum tea. It not only reduces eyes puffiness if we smear around our eyes, but also does a great help to the restoration of our vision if we drink 3/4 cups per day. And you could add wolfberry in the tea. Your eye discomfort will reduce much more if you drink those two together.

Drinking Cassia is also helpful for the protection of our eyes. Cassia is like black-colored rice. You need to boil it down to tea juice if you want to drink.

Drink a bowl of miso soup per day. This is especially useful for those who work more than 6 hours a day in front of computers. Miso contains rich B12. It also has a special ferment, which helps us flush radioactive ray out of our body. When boiling, you should add miso just before you turn off the ignition, in case you destroy the ferment of miso.

About your using environment:
Put a cup of hot water beside your computer. The water could help increase the surrounded humidity level and thus decrease eye discomfort.

Place cactus on the computer desk. Cactuses grow in the place where the Sun strongly shine, so they excel at absorbing radiation. Go and get one now, guys, for your eyes.

About the computer:
Brand doesn’t matter here. No matter IBM, Acer or any others, you should get these done by yourself.

Adjust computer’s screen setting. The resolution is recommended to set to the highest level; if the increased screen resolution makes objects too small to see, you could increase the font size to compensate. In order to make letter easily be read, adjust the contrast between the characters on the monitor and the background. Make the adjustment of the brightness - neither too bright nor too dim.

Clean your screen to hinder the accumulation of dust on your screen.

About you:
Work distances and angles. The distance between your eyes and the screen is at least 60 cm when the screen is 14”, 70 cm buffering distance 15”, and 70 cm 17”. When watching the screen, you’d better keep about 15 to 20 degree down-vision angle for reducing eye-ball exposure area. 50 cm - 60 cm is the recommended distance between your body and the computer.

Take breaks frequently. Your eyes need rest every hour or so. It could help refresh your eyes.

Do eye exercises if you have time. Do you still remember the eye exercise we always did when we were children? That exercise is very helpful. I always did when I am in my office. It works.

Cell phone Privacy - Convenience & Privacy at the Same Time, Possible?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Cell phones users grow rapidly these years. There are more than 200 million subscribers in the U.S. Their prices are constantly dropping. And we could buy these phones directly from mobile phones wholesalers who always offer much lower prices than retailers. So we can see that the advantages of these phones make them become our part of basic lives. But we always neglect their defects, and one of their defects, privacy leakage is one of the defects that most affect our lives.

Generally, their two types of eavesdroppers, one is unintentional and the other is intentional. The first situation happens when you talk your phone in the public area, like on the bus or in public toilet. This kind of eavesdroppers does no harm to your normal life. The other are those who make it a hobby to listen to others calls, or those who want to steal some special information from you. These people use radio scanners to tap your phone, as Cell phones are just like mini-radios; they use frequency to transmit information.

Now, you probably think that you could avoid being overheard in the first situation, but you would ask: “how could I ward off those intended in the second situation?”. The answer is that you could only reduce the risk maximally. The following are some guides and tips:

If you plan to change your cell phones:

Choose digital cell phones instead of analog cell phones. Analog mobile phones’ transmissions can be easily received by radio scanners. However, digital signals produced by digital cell phones sound like noise when they are received by a standard radio scanner.

Opt for the phones which could offer encryption whilst you communicate with others. These phones always offer the highest security, comparing to the ones that aren’t equipped. The current encryption technology includes CDMA, TDMA, etc.

These phones are easily found. You could locate them at affordable prices via wholesale electronics sellers, in online stores, etc.

If your are not gonna change your phone:

Do some test on purpose about the security level of your current phone. Occasionally leak a little information. If overheard, that means your phone is more likely to be scanned. Moreover, you could find who intentionally tap your phone.

Avoid using your phone in the public area as much as possible. For some trifles, you could talk as long as you wish. Try your best not to talk something important/confidential over the phone, you could talk with the guy later in a more secure area or fact-to-face.

Add encryption to your phone, if your calling destination is sensitive and easily-detected. The privacy-leaking will be reduced to the least degree from both sides.

To protect our privacy totally depends on ourselves, not others. Be discreet all the time when you use your Motorola, Sony, or others.

American President on China Emulational Cell phone Poster Ad. - Comments

Monday, June 29th, 2009

A piece of Blackberry poster ad., which is offered by so-called HAFF-COMM, is widely spread on the internet now. And the picture of the 44th president of America,Obama, astonishingly appeared in this poster. No wonder the poster is so popular.

In this ad., Obama gently smiled. And under his picture, there is a description, said “Obama’s Blackberry, My Blackberry Storm 9500.” Undeniably, the outward appearance of this phone is similar to BlackBerry Storm. The only difference is their names. The most magical part of this emulational cell phone is its adoption of Windows Mobile operation system. Moreover, it is equipped with HTC TouchFlo interface, 3.2-inch Touch Lens, and 3G EDGES and support Wi-Fi, GPS, FM, Bluetooth 2.0, etc. How wonderful these China mobile phones are!

Until now, there are no detailed introductions to HAFF-COMM. But we can make sure that this company has no relationship with Harvard University. Some information says that this company was one of Shenzhen electronics corporations. We can see the influence of the China emulational electronics sale & manufacturing in the world from this poster and their ability now.

In fact, although the electronics offered by such kind of companies mostly not so authentic, their quality is excellent and the prices are lower than authentic products. Their manufacturers have complete manufacturing system and almost all of the products are seriously tested.

The sellers cooperating with them are well-trained, polite and hospital. In recent years, most sellers do their business online, for example, actfind.com (the original of this company was a foreign trade company). These sellers could send products to foreign countries in a week. The mentioned reliable online electronics wholesalers always send their products in 3 days.

This poster now has international influence. That should make its designer happy. One featured article in Wall Street Journal’s China Website said that the designer was poor. American national flag badge was mistakenly showed on the right collar of the president’s clothes, and was flipped left to right. But after all, this ad. not only fully shows another new development of China electronics industry, but also expresses Chinese determination to catch up the world advanced technology.

MP3 Players Buyers Guide - Tips That You Shouldn’t Neglect

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Portable MP3 players, the latest and the greatest toys in the music market, make you be out of boredom and immerse in your favorite music or video, no matter wherever you are and whatever you do. Their manufacturers never stop to improve them. Compactness, ruggedness and portability, which are not available in conventional music devices, are their fantastic features. Nowadays, many of these players come with color displays, digital photos showing function, movie displays, WiFi-sharing compatibility or more.

Many of us might think that buying an MP3 is just as easy as a pie. In fact, finding the one that meets your requirements is not so easy. Shopping a MP3 player is a confusing process. There are so many things to consider. Furthermore, each device has their own features, capabilities and limitations, like their formats, storage space, and their display. The following are some simple points that you should pay attention to, while you buy this kind of digital audio players.

First, know what you will use your mp3 players for. If you want to listen to the radio and the songs, you should go for the MP3 player with FM tuner; if you are tired of wearing earphone all the time, choose a MP3 player with louder speaker. All in all, opt for the one that you want, don’t fooled by the big words of sellers.

Second, seek the one that is with wide file format support. Of course, all kinds of portable MP3 should support the MP3 format. But a player with other formats always could offer better sound quality and other improved functions. The common formats include WMA, MP3Pro, OGG, and WAV. AAC is Dolby’s Advanced Audio Coding format and it only could be found in Apple iPods.

Third, Opt for the largest-capacity device that is in your budget.

Flash memory players, which could stop your tunes from accidentally jumping, could offer 4GB or 6GB storage space - enough for storing about 1,000 and 1,500 songs in MP3 format.

Hard disk MP3 players could provide at least 20GB of space - adequate for 10,000 songs in WMA and 5,000 in MP3. The common storage space is 40GB, 30GB and 60GB.

Fourth, don’t ignore the user interface. The use complexity of the interface and the completeness of the player’s menu system directly influence the ease of use of your portable digital audio player. I guess you don’t want a player that has very complex songs, albums, or artists.

Fifth, pay attention to the computer compatibility. Make sure that the player you choose is compatible with your computer. Once I bought a player from China MP3 wholesaler, it worked great on my home’s computer. But when I use it on the computer in my office, it couldn’t work, as the computer system is Linux. One more point, if you are Mac Computer users, you’d better buy Apple iPod.

Sixth, check the battery of your MP3 players carefully. The often-seen batteries are rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, internal rechargeable cell, or AA/AAA batteries. Whatever your MP3 is equipped with, you should be 100% sure that the battery life is no less than 4 hours for video and 12 hours for music.

Yes, laptop price is becoming cheaper and cheaper, as wholesale laptops sellers or suppliers have mastered advanced technology and they could reduce the cost as much as possible. However, they couldn’t invent a laptop that poses no healthy hazards to human-beings, Sony can’t,Lenovo can’t, or any other else. And only ourselves could save our back, neck, spine, and our health.

 Take breaks at intervals and keep that habit every day. Walk in the office and stroll outside to breath some fresh air from time to time, letting your muscles, legs, shoulders, and neck have a great rest.

 Choose a comfy chair. Firm, adjustable chair with lumbar support is highly recommended, as you could set the chair according to your own condition.

 Keep right sitting posture all the time and remember not to slouch on the seat. That posture is ugly and unhealthy.

 Make use of separate keyboard and mouse. When you do that, you will find that your eyes, hands and arms is not as tired as you only use laptop.

 Place your laptop notebook computers on a stable base. The best place to place your laptop is a stable desk. And the desk should be neither too high nor too low, as those kinds of desks need you to angle up to type or bend your body to see the screen. If you are on the road, try your best to find a place with steady base, if not, you would be weary of using your notebook and steadying the base at the same time.

 Opt for the laptops with large screens. The larger the screen is, the less stress it will produce on your hands, eyes, etc. Although laptops with large screens have less mobility, it could help save our health.

So if you are not a frequent business traveler, you could consider choosing a laptop with large screen, like 15″ and 18″.

 Be certain that you could clearly see the characters and pictures on your laptops’ screen. Don’t be fooled by the sellers’ pictures or characters they put on their sample products on the market, bring some pictures and articles by yourself and try it on the laptop that you intend to buy.

Get used to these positive postures and farewell to bad habits now. If not, you might suffer from different ache and pains one day.

Safely Use Cell Phone On the Road

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Today, cell phones have become an essential part of our basic lives. We could easily get them either from online stores such as Actfind.com, or local mobile phones shops. They become cheaper and cheaper, even the high-end type, like TV mobile phones and dual SIM phones. We must admit deny its advantage, but its downside shouldn’t be ignored. Among us, quite a few people seem to forget when to use and when should not use, especially some careless drivers.

Using cell phone while driving is more likely to cause accident or crash, as drivers are easily distracted by others, for example, his emotion and his talk content. We have seen a lot in our lives and on TVs.

It is even more dangerous than drink driving. According to certain study data, using cell phone whilst driving is 30% worse than driving under the alcohol affection. Careless drivers not only put himself at risk, but also pose a danger to other people’s normal lives. And until now, almost no countries have set up formal laws to punish or ban this kind of act. The safety of making phone calls as driving totally depends on the driver’s phone settings and the driver himself.

A. About the mobile phone:

Voice commands are available, so you don’t need to dial the number with your hands;

Hand-free tools are recommended to be with the drivers’ phone. Bluetooth or ear-bud compatible cell phones let your free from corded troubles and other danger;

Drivers should bring adequate-charged phones. Inadequate-charged ones always cause bother and make you less focus on the driving.

B. About drivers
Learn the phones function well. As you are driving, you might have no time where to find the things you want;

Make sure that you have all the contact information stored in the phone when on the road;

As long as you drive, never read a text and don’t text to others. It so dangerous, as you will use at least one hand and one eye. Is that right?

Set speed dial options for items that you need to use when you are driving, like your hotel number, flights, clients, emergency contact person, or anything else;

For leisure or unimportant calls, you should end it in a very short time. But for important calls, you should tell the caller that you are driving and you could contact him/her at a later time;

Tell those who might give you a call when you are on the road that you will drive during what period of time. I assume that they are willing not to bother you as you drive.

Wholesale Electronics Oversea Purchase Guidance

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Are you interested in setting up a home business by selling wholesale electronics overseas? Don’t be afraid. Bulk purchase on electronics abroad is as not difficult as you think. And you could get much bigger profit than you buy wholesale electronics in your own countries, as electronics wholesalers could offer you much more affordable prices in other countries.

Today, the most famous wholesale electronics markets are located in Asia, including China, Singapore, Thailand, and more. There are so many electronics wholesalers in these countries that you probably feel dazzled. Plus, you might don’t know who could be your reliable supplier and which kind of electronics suit your country. Don’t worry! Your success will not be so hard to be achieved if you get your job done step by step.

First of all, you should be familiar with the products that you gonna buy. For instance, if you want to buy wholesale laptops, you shouldn’t be a stranger who knows nothing about the screen, expansion bays, optical drives, installed memory, etc. Or, you would be led by the nose by the one who is doing business with you, even worse, your supplier might destroy your business.

If possible and convenient, you could find the manufacturer of the electronics that you intend to buy and consult them. Undoubtedly, in comparison to you, they know much more knowledge, skills and tips and you couldn’t learn these from books or internet.

Second, check your electricity system of your own country. As we all know, different countries might have different home voltage, for example, USA use 110-volt alternating current while many other countries use 220-volt. Your money will be wasted if the bought electronics don’t fit the electric system of your country. No consumer want to buy a product that doesn’t match his home’s electricity system.

Third, for purchasing predominantly over the Internet, drop shippers are recommended to be used. These shippers always have a lot of products in their warehouses or stores. It’s much easier to make them to ship your goods in your required short time, comparing to the foreign trade business companies.

Fourth, try your best to find or purchase a wholesale electronics list. The list will tell you contact information, products information, of electronics wholesalers in China, as well as other countries like Singapore. Moreover, that list could make you be sure that the supplier you deal with is selling electronics, not apparels or anything else. You could get that list easily via auction sites or classified ads.

The last one, check the service of the stores, especially online stores. Today, there are so many swindlers on the internet. Many suppliers will neglect you and postpone delivering your products, once you made your payment. Although Paypal or others could return your money to you in certain period, some “smart suppliers” have tactics to hinder that happening. Here, I will recommend you a trust-worthy wholesale electronics from China, that is, Actfind.com. They established 9 years ago. Their goods are always sent to their customers in 3 days now, much quicker than other electronics suppliers in China. I have dealt with them three times, and I am impressed by their services.

Do you have enough confidence and a good plan now? Bear the above in mind and have a good start of your wholesale business.
