Saw this printer in the brochure for the post shop. Thought I would pick it up at the cheap advertised price of $39, then found out it was sold out.
Turns out got a better deal at officeworks by getting a hp printer @ $49 with me being able to change only the cartridges that get empty..making it a cheaper buy in the long run

The Shuttle XS35GT is tiny 252mm long, 154mm high and only 33mm thick which is really small compared to some of the other mini pc’s out there. This dual-core processor is steady at 1.6GHz and includes Hyper-Threading technology, letting you run even quite-demanding applications though the shuttle doesn’t come with any OS by default. What’s nice is , It doesn’t use any fans; the Intel Atom D510 CPU is passively cooled
You also get inbuilt Wi-Fi, five USB ports, Gigabit LAN and a Kensington lock point. The Shuttle can feed audio out via a 3.5mm jack or digitally over HDMI. Available from Shuttle, retailing for $599.

Well the CES 2011 show has just come out with some surprisingly amazing gadgets and gizmos , here are some gadgets that created a buzz at the show
Netgear is to merge wireless and wired power line networking, pitching at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) a “hybrid” 802.11n Wi-Fi router with an AC adaptor that doubles up as a Home Plug AV adaptor. It also launched what it claims is the first ever 500Mb/s power line adaptor. Net gear will be competing with Belkin who already offers a gigabit power line adaptor
They have launched the hybrid box, the N3200 – model number WNXR2000 – which allows you to extend your network’s reach out into wireless cold spots by using the mains wiring. It has basic 200Mb/s Home Plug AV support integrated into its mains adaptor – just plug in a separate HomePlug AV adaptor to create the link. You could use Netgear’s new Internet Adaptor For Home Theatre adaptor – aka the XAVB5004 – a four-port unit that also supports 200Mb/s Homeplug AV
cant decide if you want a small notebook or a tablet? Samsung’s latest lets you have them both. Samsungs TX100, unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Shows (CES) today is a 10.1in, 1366 x 768 LCD tablet with a built in physical keyboard too. The 80-key deck slides down and forward, turning touch screen tablet into a laptop
Samsung notebook + tablet is based on an Intel Atom chip and runs Windows 7 Pro rather than the ARM’ n’ Android combo favored by Samsung’s Galaxy Tab tablet and has Wi-Fi and a Micro SD memory card slot, plus a proprietary port into which you can hook a selection of USB and HDMI adaptors.
it’s a mouse that drops the scroll wheel for a muti-touch surface, allowing you to flip through pages with a swipe of your finger.
“One finger lets people manage individual documents or pages by flicking to quickly scroll, pan and tilt, and one thumb lets people move back or forward through a Web browser. Two fingers manage windows, letting people maximize, minimize, snap and restore them. Three fingers let people navigate their whole desktop, showing instant viewer or clearing their desktop.”
This wireless gadget comes with an ultra-compact USB adaptor and, MS claimed, it can track on “virtually any surface” – not glass or mirrors, though
Samsung has announced the launch of its latest PMP – apparently the world’s first Android powered MP3 player, according to the company, which appears to have missed Archos’ Google OS offerings.
The Samsung Galaxy Player 50 has a 3.2in touch screen, 2Mp camera and comes with either 8GB or 16GB of storage, expandable using Micro SD cards of up to 32GB, with in-built Wi-Fi. The Galaxy Player due to wifi can connect to Android Marketplace to access over 100,000 apps and games. Its browser is Flash compatible, and the Galaxy 50 boasts broad format support with drag and drop capabilities, Samsung said

September 18, 2010 in Camera, Electronics, Gadgets, Laptop, Refund Scheme, Sony VideoCamera
Not any people are aware of this scheme and its truly legit and many people in australia just miss out because they were not just aware of this scheme . Its called the “Tourist Refund Scheme” or you could also call it the “GST REFUND SCHEME” because essentially it is giving you back the GST portion of tax that you have paid on the items
The TRS enables you to claim a refund, subject to certain conditions, of the goods and services tax (GST) that you pay on goods you buy in Australia. If you wish to claim a refund, you must get an original tax invoice from the store where you buy the goods. All stores registered for GST will be able to give you a tax invoice
- This refund is possible because the duty on cameras has been replaced by the GST (10%)
- GST can be claimed back if purchased within 30 days of travelling
- Must show tax invoice at customs
- Claims at airports are available up to 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure of your flight
- Must take goods with you through customs
- Minimum purchase $300 (incl GST) on the one tax invoice
- You can open and use the goods within the 30 days prior to departure
You can collect your refund through one of the following methods:
* cheque
* credit to an Australian bank account
* payment to a credit card
For passengers departing from international airports, the process will only take a few minutes. However, you should allow time to complete check-in, security and outwards clearance formalities and also allow for queues at the TRS facility.
Full details are available – You can download a copy of the official TRS brochure ( link Below)

Impulse buying is such a good thing, because with impulse buying you get to suffer the guilt only later or then gloat at your new bargain if done properly as in my case. Its pretty much taking a chance. luckily for me it paid off.
Off to holiday soon , so i was in the city browsing for a camera and sauntered into JB HI FI , saw a couple of models Panasonic ($393)and sony handy cam($393) with crossed off priceswith sticker on them telling me to ask the salesperson for a price. I though i will give it a shot and asked the salesman what he could offer me . he said $350 and said the “Sony handy cam” was the best among the lot and he would choose it for himself , Though the black panasonic model in the display case was looking quite flash and nice for the same crossed off price , he said he could not bring that down as cheap as $350
So i settled with his technical knowledge to choose the sony handycam , but gave it another shot and asked him to throw a memory card in as well ( no luck) , but still good settled with the JB HI FI SALESMAN FOR $360 with a 2 Gb memory card thrown in as well which costs another $19.95 if bought separately ( so it cost me only $10)
It was a “pretty good deal” that saved me approx $40 or even more if you consider buying it from some online sites ( with the freight charges included as well)
Creating movies has never been so easy so go ahead and get a sony handy cam for your holidays or then to just get creative and make some home videos. Whether you are the next Stephen Spielberg or just another budding producer director or enthusiast you will want the “Sony Handycam DCR-SX43E” in your hands when wanting to capture that video you so much wanted to record.

With six different models, it can be hard to keep track of what’s available with the iPad and what it costs. The chart below offers a quick reference for you to compare.
There are two types of iPad to consider – The first model is known as the iPad (cheaper option) and will connect to the internet via WiFi (in your home or at a WiFi hotspot/cafe), and the second model (iPad 3G) will connect to the internet anywhere you can use your mobile phone via a 3G network, and connect in your house via WiFi .Ipad in Amazon Australia

Pros: it’s really convenient not to have to go and choose movies. no late fees at all. the free trial period is great
Cons: you don’t get to decide exactly which movie you want to receive. you give them a list of choices and they will send you a movie off that list. i was a member for several month and never received a movie that i really wanted to receive
Overall: this is a convenient way of receiving movies. there are no late fees and you do not have to drive to choose the movie. however they send you a movie off a list that you create. if there is a really popular movie that you definitely want to receive they may not send it to you

It’s that simple.
Quickflix online DVD rental. FREE trial, FREE rentals Choose from over 32,000 titles. Register now
Pros: No need to browse physical DVD rental store. Don’t have to return rented DVD to DVD rental store. Wide-ish selection,, including foreign, obscure stuff. Free trial. Fast shipping. Flexible returns i.e. no late fees. No surcharge for Blu-Ray. Can add movies currently in cinema to my queue (of course have to wait till the movie is released on disc before it is available). Email notifications about what my next movie is.
Cons: No Blu-Ray or Premium content during free trial. As with services of this type, no way to pre-choose exactly what I want to watch at a particular time. Selection is wide-ish, but some gaps.
Overall: I am a movie buff who chooses not to have a movie disc collection. I have a $20 (8 DVDs, 2 at a time) account. I live in Sydney, so shipping is fast. I tried the same service from Tasmania, and the shipping time was longer (this means that the turnaround time between when a DVD is sent, and a new one is received is longer). I joined primarily because I have a PS3 that plays Blu-Ray. I found disc prices high, and rental stores have limited Blu-Ray titles. Even for DVDs, it’s a toss up whether popular movies are available when I visit, or (for weeklies) where on the shelf the movie is. For movies that I “want to watch now” without waiting for Quickflix to send to me, I pre-book it at my local RedRoomDVD kiosk, and rent it from there, or watch it on iTunes Store Rentals (no Dolby 5.1 sound). I find Quickflix suits my lifestyle, and highly recommend it. I haven’t had any scratched DVDs, or ones lost in the mail.
