You can finally play Left 4 Dead on a netbook. If only the outside didn’t come with that imprint that HP seems to be using on every one of their laptops.

Ultimate Ears Metro-Fi 170vi Quick Review.
After some research and sampling for a new pair of earphones for my iPhone, I finally decided to get this pair at a price of S$99 from Nubox, Tampines Mall.

In comparison to the new Apple In-Ears (which I also own), this plugs definitely win in terms of sound quality. I particularly like the bass on this baby as it is not ‘boomy’. The punch is not as good as the more expensive earphones but at this price, its definitely worthwhile. The noise isolation is quite decent and the physical quality felt durable.

If you are looking for an earphone for your iPhone, You can definitely consider the UE Metro-Fi 170vi.

Running out of space lately on your computer? Challenger is having a promotion for the Maxtor Basics 1.5TB external hard drives. It is priced at S$189 for members.

I personally bought one myself and so far I am pleased with it. Time Machine also works beautifully on this after some simple partitioning and formatting.

If you have not started on backing up your files and documents, better be safe than sorry and start backing them up now. Window users, there are plenty of free backup softwares available. As for Mac users, you can simply use Time machine. its effortless and simple.

Check out how small my new thumb drive is… (Compared to my old 2gb thumb drive and a $1 coin)
This USB microSD card reader from Kingston is by far the smallest that I’ve come across and I’m making it into my thumb drive by attaching an 8gb microSD card in it. Now I can put this little thing in my wallet and bring it everywhere I go.

The USB card reader comes bundled together with Kingston’s microSD cards. (The 4gb ones go for about $20)
