Have a Better Life

I got a comment from Joe asking if the Limited Pink Ribbon Nintendo DS Lite Console has the same features of the regular Nintendo DS Console so besides updating the previous post I think this is an important matter that deserves a new post.

Yes, this Limited Edition Pink Ribbon Nintendo DS Lite has the same features of a Nintendo DS Lite.

The big and important difference is the Pink Ribbon that comes on the cover of the console AND THE FACT THAT:

Nintendo will donate $5.00 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure for each Limited Edition Pink Ribbon DS Lite handheld gaming console sold, with a guaranteed minimum donation of $100,000.00. Nintendo supports Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures. For more information, please call 1-877-GO-KOMEN or visit www.komen.org.

Wouldn’t it be great if espresso machines could do the same? Especially in the morning…

It’s really hard to believe how fast computer memory becomes obsolete. I have my desktop for 2,5 years and when I bought it 512MB of memory was more than enough, now I have difficulty in running some programs. Last year I bought my laptop with 1GB and now I think that I could speed it up with some extra laptop memory.

The good news is that for computers and laptops it’s always possible to get more memory, for us, humans, that work all day and have zillions of things in our head it’s not. All we can do is exercise or take some pills to energize the neurons.

Shoe storage while keeping them fresh can be difficult but with a Rakku Designs Shoe Wheel the problem is solved.

The Shoe Wheel allows us to keep our shoes in a very organized way and the air is able to circulate among the shoes keeping them smell free and ready to use.

This Shoe Wheel is very easy to mount, but if we need assistance we can check some assembling videos available on the Rakku Designs site.

No batteries, USB or CAT6 cables are needed! This is a very simple and useful mobile storage.

If you’re looking for a Microsoft Xbox 360 Arcade System there are several packages available each one offering different items. This particular set in the photo offers 5 Arcade Games among them Uno and Pacman, Wireless Controller and Family Settings.

You can also choose the simple Microsoft Xbox 360 Arcade System package with no extras, the price is more affordable and you can buy the games individually.

A lot of controversy was created between the XBox 360 and the PS3, which one is the best one? I’ve done a little research and opinions vary.

Comments will be appreciated.
