It’s not the bear in cartoons but it’s called the Yoggie Gatekeeper Pro: protects your laptop and fits inside your pocket.

It’s a small plastic device but it gives you big security for your files, documents, and etc. The Yoggie Gatekeeper Pro is security for your laptop or your portable desktop when you travel.

It is hassle-free and has “Pentagon Level Security”. It enables you to connect your laptop to any Internet hot spot without worrying about someone trying to hack your system.  This is what you need especially when you’re always sharing an Internet connection with others around you.

The Yoggie firewall enables you to have security for 5 computers, too.  It employs a highly intelligent kind of security appliance, with Linux as its operating system, enabling your laptop to be protected from Internet threats .

It is an external device and you just simply connect it to your laptop. It is very portable and small so you definitely can just slip it inside your pocket when you travel. It also provides you with Anti Spam and is considered as the world’s first tiny and mobile gateway. And because it’s external, it acts as your first line of defense.

If you always bring your laptop wherever you travel then you have to have the Yoggie Gatekeeper so you can be totally sure no one gets access to your computer.  Although it looks like a small MP3 player than a reliable firewall hardware device for your computer, it gives with the best protection there is. Don’t judge it by the way it looks.

This is the DMP or the Dual Music Player, which is the smallest CD player that you can arry around when you travel. It is a media player that can play MP3s and CDs. Yes, there are other portable media players that can play MP3s, and of course Discmans that can play CDs, but this Dual Music Player can play both forms of media.

It is amazing because of how it looks. It doesn’t fully embrace or cover the CD while you are playing it, but, instead, you can see 90% of the CD playing. When folded up, it looks like an Ipod or any other designed PMP, but when you use it, the two sides sort of unclasp and when you place the CD, it looks more stylish than any other media players.

When I was on a plane heading to Bournemouth, heads turned to my DMP when I played my favorite CD. Three people even asked me what it was, and I just let them watch it with awe. I told them that it is a Dual Music Player that plays both CDs and MP3s, and they just can’t believe it. I was really proud of it then, I could not stop smiling on the entire flight.

If you have a huge collection of MP3s at home, then you can definitely take all of them with you when you travel. You can also enjoy all your favorite audio CDs and just watch the DMP play every disc with style. It is very portable and can even fit right inside your jeans or shirt pocket. When you travel, you can clip the Dual Music Player on your jeans, hang it around your neck, or slip it inside your pocket.

The Dual Music Player’s length is a little longer than the normal CD’s radius. You will definitely get a lot of attention while you play your CDs.

There are so many portable notebooks out there but the Sony Vaio SZ is the ultimate mobile laptop for your traveling needs.  It is super lightweight and very slim, with a 13.3” screen.

It is 1” thin and equipped with wireless connection capabilities to let you surf the Net wherever you are. Traveling is also made easier because of its long battery life. And its Hybrid Graphics System lets you regulate your image usage so that you can more efficiently manage your notebook activities and conserve battery life.

This 800MHz baby has a dual processor that gives you amazing performance speeds, especially for its size. It weighs 4 lbs, very convenient to lug around, and is made up of carbon-fiber or magnesium, making it very resilient against common travel-related wear. So if you’re hurrying to your next flight,  you don’t need to worry much about making sure the Vaio is very neatly fastened and tucked into place. Of course, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consciously take care of your unit.

The Vaio SZ has a built-in adapter that employs 802.11 n/b/g/a technology for all your wireless connections needs.  You can easily send or receive messages without having to get hooked on a cable; plus, you can put in on your lap conveniently and get set up for an afternoon of mail-checking and Web browsing wherever (provided, of course, that there’s a Wi-Fi connection available or you have an SDIO card).

And speaking of wireless usage, you don’t really need to be too scared of network threats as the Sony Vaio SZ has a built-in biometric fingerprint sensor and TPM (Trusted Platform Module) that protect you from computer invasions.

Another thing that’s great about the Vaio SZ is that you don’t need to wait an eternity to boot up your notebook. Some notebooks take forever to boot, but not this mini powerhouse. It’s perfect for those always on the go, because of its size and speed, and would make a great conversation piece, because of its design, for those who always travel off to somewhere. I’m a Mac user, but if I were to assess the Vaio, I’d probably find it a pleasant device to bring along.

Now, you can type on your notebook or laptop even during a power failure or when someone beside you is already sleeping. The USB computer light from Lewis N Clark is a very useful device while traveling and chronicling your experiences.

It illuminates your notebook keyboard in dark areas or in dimly lit places.  It has a clip that fastens onto your laptop frame so that wherever you place your laptop the light stays. You can also pivot the USB computer light to provide illumination wherever you need it. It does not require an external power source. You simply connect the USB connector to any available USB port on your laptop.

The Lewis N Clark computer light includes two very bright LED lights and promises to last for hours. And though this is commonly used with laptops, you can also use this for your desktops, as well, or even on any other activity that would necessitate private light in dark areas. So the next time the lights are turned off on the plane and you desperately want to continue with your work or read a book, just clip it on, hassle-free.

Traveling with a family of techies will no longer be a problem with the Linksys travel router around. A hotel room with just one Internet port can be instantly transformed into a mini hotspot.

Picture this: You are on a vacation together with your wife and your two teenage sons and got yourself a reservation at a local hotel.  On the hotel room, there’s only one Ethernet port on the wall which means that there will only be one computer that can go online, and the hotel has no wireless internet connection.  You brought your iphone and your laptop with you, and each one of your family members brought his own laptop, too.  It would be frustrating for the whole family to have to wait for their turns to surf the web.  The Linksys Wireless-G Travel Router with SpeedBooster (WTR54GS v2.0) would be the perfect solution for this kind of situation.

This travel router enables you to both a hardwired and wireless Internet connection.  In setting up the router, just wire the hotel room’s Internet connection cable to the router port, and then wire one of your computers to the router’s Ethernet.  Power up the travel router and check the LEDs on the router.  All lights should be lit.

When your hardwired computer is already powered-up, just launch an Internet Explorer browser and type in 192.168.16.1 on the address bar then press enter. It would prompt you with a username and password.  Just ignore the username and on the password field type in “admin”.  Once you’re on the web-based setup page already, you can configure the router from there on in.  First, click on the radio button that says “Wired” if you want to have a wired internet connection, but if you want to go wireless then just choose “Wireless”.  You have to know the type of connection the hotel’s internet provider is.

You can click on the wireless tab and under basic wireless settings, the Wireless Enabled radio button should be clicked on, the Network Mode should be mixed, and you should change the Network Name (SSID) to customize your settings.  The channel should be 6 and SSID Broadcast should be enabled.

Click on the Wireless Security subtab and click on the dropdown arrow of security mode and choose WEP. The Encryption must be 64-bit, tx key is 1 and type in your 10-digit phone number on the WEP Key 1 field. It is also important to upgrade the firmware of your router.  You can always get help from any of the Linksys technicians over the phone by calling 1800LINKSYS (1800-5465797) and they will configure your router as well as upgrade your router’s firmware.

I recommend a Linksys travel router because I like its Speed booster capabilities and its travel-friendly design which is small and lightweight.  It has a built-in firewall and the internet connection is great.  What I love the most about this brand, though, is its very friendly technical phone support agents. If you aren’t a techie, you’ll definitely feel no frustration setting this up with their assistance.

Getting on the Internet will never be a problem wherever you are with Always on Wireless’ WiFlyer WiFi Wireless Router around. Constant Internet users, particularly travelers who document their experiences and trips through online blogs will be rid of connection hassles because you can log on through dial-up, Ethernet, and wirelessly through this beautiful piece of equipment.

For dial-users, the WiFlyer has a small button at the top part which lets you hear if you are connecting to the Internet or not. To its left is a volume dial that regulates sound. If you’re using the Ethernet connection, all you need to do is hardwire your laptop to the Ethernet port and see if the LED is lit. Wireless users will know if a connection is availabe if the Wireless LED is on.

Once you’ve set up all the externals, you can begin configuring the WiFlyer by accessing the web-based setup page. You have the option to skip this and save this for another time, if you’re busy. But if you’re planning to bring it with you when you jetset to somewhere, sealing your account early on will protect you from potential connection problems and hackers.

All you need to do is launch a browser and type in http:/192.168.7.77 and then press Enter. Instructions will follow. If you’re a bit iffy with all the technical jargon, don’t worry; the instructions come in very easy to understand sequences that you don’t really need to be a configurations expert to be set this up nicely.

The most important thing, really, is that you can bring this wherever you go, whether you’re about to go 50,000 miles off or just out into your backyard for some fresh air while surfing the net.

This radically cool pair of specs is a nice thing to have by those who are hard of hearing and can now read subtitles in a theater even when not provided on screen. The receptor on the glasses works in sync with the subtitle projector in the cinema hall. Good thing is you’re watching a John Woo flick in Hong Kong.
