Motorola has finally made a significant move by launching the Motorola Xoom, an android tablet that would be the first real competitor to the iPad and iPad 2 as it is the first and only android device that is running on the real android for tablet, the Android 3.0 Honeycomb. The Motorola Xoom made its first appearance in the CES 2011 was launched not long ago together with 3 other devices such as the Motorola Atrix, Motorola Droid Bionic and Motorola Cliq 2.
The key features of the tablet include support up to 1080p Video Playback, 2MP front-facing camera (video chat with gTalk) and 5MP camera that records 720p video, screen resolution of 1280×800 widescreen, 10.1 inch display, 1GHz dual core processor & 3D graphic acceleration with Nvidia Tegra 2, HDMI output and 1GB DDR2 SDRam. It came with 2 versions such as the GSM & CDMA 3G (4G LTE Upgradable) and Wifi only, just like the iPads.
As Motorola has already made that great leap by using Android 3.0, which of course would support any future software updates, I would definitely be on a look out for some unlocked cell phones soon. Who won’t want to own such cool gadgets right?

The world of themed café as those from overseas has finally hit Penang with the opening of yet another popular cafe namely Clinic Café. The concept behind this pork-free and alcohol-free themed café was inspired by the atmosphere within a hospital environment where “patients” would come in for their daily “doses” of treatments. Eventually, most “patients” would leave the clinic, contented with their fun-filled “treatments”.
Ever since its first branch opening in Seberang Jaya, Penang in early 2010, Clinic Café has gained many receptive feedback by the public, especially from the young and middle aged groups. With this confidence, Clinic Café has opened another door to those on the island with the opening of its second branch within the premises of Gurney Plaza, Penang. Based on the same concept and theme as its successor, the red and white walled café with tinted glasses of medical products provides a more spacious and comfortable environment for its “patients” to get the best of “treatments”.
Walking into the cafe would be like walking into another state-of-the-art hospital but with a panoramic view of Gurney Drive’s beach front. There would be rows of hospital beds converted into sofas and wheel chairs with operation theatre lamps shining above each table. The walls would be covered with many exhibits, namely posters of the human body functions and medical equipments. There’s even a small clip board at the side of each “bed” to record your “diagnosis”. You might even be surprised to find that the food and beverage area is being named as the Surgery Room. They would ensure that you would be treated with the right “remedies”. If you are unsure of anything, why don’t you check out with the easily available and professionally dressed doctors, nurses and surgical staff? Too bad, you won’t get them to be in sexy nurse lingerie as it’s against the law here to be sexually exposed.
Who said hospital food can be real bad and not appetizing at all? At Clinic Café, you would be ascertained to get your value for money worth of food. There would be items ranging from appetizers, local, oriental, Western, pastas, snacks to fresh juices, smoothies, yoghurts, milkshakes and more. Don’t get shocked on how the food would be presented to you as they may come in aluminum kidney trays, multi dishes trays and laboratory glassware.

When your woman put up that sour face, you should know that she’s looking for something that would brighten up her days. What would be the best gift to get that sparkling set of teeth shown? A dazzling white diamond would be the ideal choice since it has been said to be a woman’s best friend. I’m sure you won’t get to wipe out that smile for a long time to come. LOL!
Anyway, there’s the 3Cs to watch out for when you purchase diamonds for your loved ones. They are the Clarity & Color, Cut and Carat. The value of each piece of diamond would depend on the factors above. Most diamonds would have a bit of color which would not be visible to the naked eyes. The more colorless a diamond is the higher the value is. Moreover, the cut is very important. It has to be accurate to show the required brilliance. Lastly, it’s the carat. The heavier it is the more value it has. A carat is approximately about 200 milligrams.
Depending on your budget, diamonds can come in many forms such as necklaces, rings, bracelets, ear rings and many more. I’m sure Diamonds International Jewelry Aruba would be glad to help you make your choice when you are at the Caribbean vacationing.

Have you experienced testing out your driving skill in parking your car into your driveway? It may sound easy but try doing that when the whole place looked like a secondary jungle. It’s even more mind boggling when you have tons of groceries to bring indoor and you can’t even get your car door to open wide. Each time you tried to get your family members to help you out in cutting the grasses, you would hear more excuses than ever. No one is willing to spend hours trimming the grass and your hands are forever tight with the daily chores to handle that hard and sweaty job.
There are many times when you had thought of calling in some casual workers to handle the task but eventually you gave up that decision as the cost of employing others to do the job might eat into your monthly budget. What else could you do except to leave the lawn as your last priority in your “want-to-do” list? In a long run, this might not be such a good idea as it may attract unnecessary pests which might be bring threats to everyone’s safety.
What would you do then if you had encountered such a headache? Would you buy a manual lawn mower which would be at least better than your old grass cutter or would you invest in motored lawn mowers such as the honda mowers? I would think having one great one would be the best to cut down some precious time. Don’t you? 🙂

Mothers’ Day is one of those special days where you set aside all other commitments and reflect on all the wonderful things your mother has done for you. The majority of us would probably consider buying something special, some kind of a material gift for Mum so she can feel the love and care that she deserves. However, what makes a mother especially loved and cared for is more than just a material gift on Mother’s day, but a sincere love, appreciation and a sense of closeness.
With a high increase of prices in practically all the things now, most of us are all out trying to earn that little extra to make ends meet. Thus, most of us don’t even have enough time to spend with our parents. Just ask yourself: how many times a year do you call your mother; how many times a year do you see her, how many times do you listen to her and ask for her opinion or advice? Do give her a call her now. Lend her your time as your gift of time. Mothers are here for us not only on Mothers’ Day but also the remaining days throughout the year. They surely deserved many more days, right? Being more creative, loving and more personal would make the best gift of love that you could ever give to your mother.
I’m also very sure that she as a Mother and a woman would also love to receive some fresh flowers frequently. You could always engage the us flower delivery services to give her that surprises she would love to receive from you.
Thanks Mum for providing me the perfect soil in which to grow to make me who I am today. Happy Mothers’ Day!
