This LiteOn Slim DVD Writer is a great addition to any netbook since none of them currently come with a CDROM Drive. This unit is completely powered by a USB port so there is only one cable to carry around. It comes with a 110V adapter which you only need if you have an older USB port that cannot power the device correctly. It has a nice piano finish and onboard is Lightscribe technology which allows you to burn labels directly to Lightscribe DVD CDs.

Check out the video below for the complete review and below are also links to where you can get it at a good price and technical specs.

Not to long ago thinking of having high speed internet on the go on any of your devices was only a dream. With the invention of mobile routers accompanied by an evdo card this was somewhat possible the only problem was that you had to have a constant source of power for the router to connect multiple devices.

With the new MiFi router from Verizon wireless this is now a dream come true, it will create a hotspot that travels with you. While it is not cheap to get this service, it is definitely worth it especially if you travel around the united states or your business requires you to be mobile. The MiFi router goes for $150 with a $50 mail-in rebate. Below is a video that will walk you through the configuration of the device and also show you how it works.

Finally the internet in the palm of your hands.

It mentions in the instructions that the software for the vaccess manager comes preloaded so when you connect the device open “My computer” and it will show you an additional CDROM there, double click to open it and the software will be there. If you prefer just CLICK HERE to download the VACCESS MANAGER software.

Technical Information from Verizon about MiFi:

You can connect more devices.

• Use Mobile Broadband on a notebook or netbook.
• Connect your netbook, camera, MP3 player, media player, PDA, portable gaming system or any other Wi-Fi–enabled device.
• Provide a wireless hub for up to five devices at one time.

You can get more done with multiple connection options.

• In Wi-Fi mode:
  • Connect up to five Wi-Fi–enabled devices at once.
  • Use the lithium-ion battery for up to four hours on the road or 40 hours of standby time.*
  • Plug the device directly into a wall outlet for extended usage time.
• In USB mode:
  • Connect the MiFi device to your notebook via the included USB cable to use it as a modem.
  • Extend the battery life of your work session by connecting the device to your notebook via a USB cable.

In the video below I will tell you a little bit about a great device named ROKU which allows you to stream your netflix "Watch Instantly Queue" to your TV. I will also show you how to hook this little device to your car so you can watch your netflix movies and shows on the go.

This device goes for about $100.00 and below I put the links to where you can get it and the technical specs, as well as links to the video where I explain in detail the verizon wireless service.

Roku box at amazon.com $99.99: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PIBE8I/ref=s9_sims_gw_s0_p23_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0TJ268HSYGE667F0NKVD&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846

Regarding the router, there is a new little device coming out on the 17th of May which is a small portable battery powered router and it will let you use the internet without cables and where ever you are. This box will allow up to 5 devices to connect to it. It has 4hrs of continuous use and 40hrs standby time. It is small enough to fit anywhere. Verizon and Sprint will be carrying this little router it is named MI-FI. I was not able to use this for the video but you can substitute the router I show you in the video for this one which is very compact and no cables to worry about.
