Go Go Gadget Flow ......

The other day I had a meeting in my Manhattan and my phone was going dead, after that met up with .........(who should forever remain nameless) lol and I said yo my bateria is negativo, they replied mine as well. So we stopped at Duane Reade and purchased it. The product actually works and most of all ladies it can fit right into your purse (Gucci Shoes) just in case your phone ever dies or you are running on E. I give this product a thumbs up. It retails for 20 bucks worth it in my opinion. What Is It:
Energizer® Energi To Go™ Instant Cell Phone Charger is a reusable charging device that can be used with cell phones, some PDAs and Blackberries. It is compact and enables you to keep your phone charged without having to rely on the availability of power outlets. The charger comes with a phone tip connector, the charger itself and two Energizer® e2® Lithium® AA batteries. While other batteries may work - those are the recommended type and brand (of course it is). How Does It Work: The charger uses the power of two AA batteries to recharge your cell phone or PDA. Not only can it be used to fully charge a dead battery but it can be used to top up batteries so that you don't go dead during an important conversation. Not only can this be used just for charging, but while you are talking or using your device. An LED indicates the charge level of your device. Why You Should Use It:
Nothing is worse than being in the middle of a phone call and losing all power. If you lose battery power due to location or you forgot to charge before leaving on your trip; it will help you to not miss calls or connections. This is a very compact, economical, lightweight and easy to use gadget.

Internet marks 40 year anniversary

The Internet just turned 40 years old today. In Fall 1969 two California universities sent/shared the first data between two computers and set the foundation for what was to become the Internet. A 15 foot grey cable that would allow for communication of computers passed the first data. Keep in mind these computers were designed without any idea that they would ever have a need to intercommunicate; hence the term “technocentric”. The machines had no internal mechanism to interconnect with and the Operating Systems they were running were quite different. This necessitated an agnostic platform, and standard approach that would work on any platform (this would evolve into TCP/IP) which is by necessity platform agnostic.
The origin of this project was a result of the Russians successfully testing an atomic bomb. The American Governemt/DARPA realized that in the event of a nuclear war, underground bases would need a method to communicate. Without a phone company that would survive, they designed the concept of using computers that would pass the data over any surviving telephone poles until it reached its destination in this case an underground military base. TCPIP (transmission control protocol/internet protocol), would try every path until it succeeded or failed to meet its intended destination. By the end of the month Stanford and UC Santa Barbara and the University of Utah would all be interconnected in a network sharing their data and the number crunching resources for their astronomy research. The rest of the internet grew connection by connection until we have what we today refer to as the internet. All company networks, network printing, websites, etc. are derivative of this first internetworking.
Happy 40th internet I can't even remember life without you lmao !
