Satellite Nagivation – Tom Tom One
I purchased a Tom Tom One yesterday and i thought it would be nice to write a review on this product. The price was £240 but i got it for £200 because of Bank Holiday sales and therefore made a profit of £40 :)
The Tom Tom One comes with a charger which needs connecting to the cigarette lighter in the car for recharge and a stand which will hold the actual screen and sticks to any glass surface. There's also the instruction manual and a CD for your computer.

Ruby language
Ruby, named after the jewel, is considered to be the successor of Perl. Although very successful in Japan, it is not so well known in the West yet but this could change in the years to come. Ruby is a simple and powerful object-oriented programming language. Below is a sample code:

@name = name # store name and age for later retrieval
@age = age.to_i # (store age as integer, in case ...
Electronic Circuitry

I've actually set my eyes on two starter kits. The first one ...
Programming Languages – What’s the trend?
As ASP.NET continues to manifest itself in the world of programming, more and more developers are moving away from Classic ASP coding to embrace the .NET framework. Of course there's the tendency for people from a VB background to adopt the VB.NET language because of the smoother transition than going into C#.
PHP v5+ seems to bring about more flexibility and reliability and obviously those looking to work in an OO environment no longer need to stick to just C/C++/C# and Java as the newer versions of PHP are object oriented ...
International Calling Cards
We all got family all over the world (umm i think so!). And International Calling Cards are a cheap way to keep in touch with them. Is it really though? Not long ago - about 5 months back - i was using Sonic calling card to call my family in Mauritius and if i was to dial the local number, i would get about 240 mins. I'm not kidding, 4 hrs talking for just 5 pounds (£5).
Too good to be true? Well nowadays, Lycatel Ltd, company that supplies these calling ...
