Dell, Hewlett Packard, Apple, or other laptop producers now are producing many kinds of laptops. There are plenty of low-performance laptops like Sony VAIO VGN-NR160. You can buy these laptops easily because their prices usually are not higher than $1,200. These big companies produce low-performance notebooks because they know most people in this world are demanding for new laptops but middle and low-class people do not have enough budgets to buy high-tech notebooks.

Although there are plenty of cheap notebooks, you still need to compare those laptops with new PCs. Like it or not, usually you can get better specification from a PC rather than from a laptop if your budget is limited. For example, what can you buy if you only have $600 in your pocket? Probably you won’t get more than 1 GB RAM memory from new notebook but PC can offer you better performance.

However, we must remember that the most important thing is your need. If you never go outside home, of course PC is a better option. If you often go elsewhere because your job forces you to do it, laptop is the first choice. Beside all of these, you must also consider how often you use laptop/PC every day. A PC can be used for plenty of hours every day but a laptop needs time to rest. You must also consider what kind of specification works for you.

If you are a gamer and your budget is not more than $1,500, why don’t you buy a PC instead of a new laptop? But if you have more and you often go to outside of your home, of course new Dell XPS or new HP Pavilion will be better for you. Everything is up to your need, your job, and your personality. So what is better, a laptop or a PC? It all depends on you. Just remember that PC actually can offer you more than a new laptop but you can’t bring your PC to outside of your room.

One of the best things about having a hobby is buying
everything you need and even some things that you don’t! If
you are into cars or motorcycles, chances are you spend a
lot of extra money on accessories, don’t you? Cooking,
exercising, camping, gardening, hiking, – you name it, there
are accessories for every amusement under the sun!

Knitting is no different. Gadgets abound, and you can
get lost in a sea of extras. They all look good, but what
is necessary, and what can you leave for another time? Let
me tell you about some of the knitting gadgets that are
available to knitters, and then I will tell you my top *6*
favorite knitting gadgets.

Needles and yarn aside, if you look around there are
numerous knitting gadgets. There are stitch markers, used
for marking a particular place in your knitting where
decreases or increases take place; row counters which keep
track of each row as you are knitting; point protectors
which are placed on the needle points to protect your work
as well as yourself; bobbins, pom-pom makers, stitch gauges,
graph paper, yarn swifts and ball winders, which can be
useful for certain advanced knitting projects, but will
probably spend more time collecting dust for most knitters.

So that is why now we come to my top *6* favorite
knitting gadgets,

and why I like them so:

#1 – Tape measure – for knitting, as for sewing, your
tape measure will prove to be indispensable. Whatever the
project, you always have need to know the length and width
of your knitting. Make sure if your tape measure wears out
or becomes distorted in any way, that you replace it. This
item helps to make you look good!

#2 – Scissors – I like the small variety, especially
the ones that fold up. They are handy to take anywhere
(well, almost anywhere), and you can expect to use them
frequently. But, if you have larger scissors, they work,
too. I would not recommend pinking shears, though; they are
for sewing projects only.

#3 – Cable needles – as you become more adept at
knitting, one of the easiest new stitches to add on is the
cable stitch. Cable stitches can be knitted in many
variations, but they always need the cable needle in order
to utilize the stitch. Cable needles come in various sizes,
and are always pointed at both ends. Some have a “bend” in
them, and some are “U” shaped, while most are simply
straight. They are also shorter than a traditional,
straight, knitting needle. So if a pattern calls for cable
stitches, better have some cable needles around!

#4 – Stitch holders – these look like giant safety
pins. They are especially handy when knitting sweaters and
you need to place the neck stitches someplace until you need
them again, so on to the stitch holder they go! Stitch
holders can be very small (2″ or so) up to about 10″ in
length. There are many varieties, but stay with the simple
versions, for best results.

#5 – Yarn needle – aka a tapestry needle. These
needles are longer than regular sewing needles, and have
blunter points and larger eyes. They are used to join your
patterns together when finished. For any knitter, they are
a must-have.

#6 – Pins – last but not least, pins! Anyone who
sews or knits, needs pins; straight pins, safety pins, T-
pins. When you buy straight pins, make sure they have
colored tops; these are easiest to see in your knitting. T-
pins are great for blocking your patterns, and also good for
pinning heavier knits together. Safety pins always make a
great substitute for stitch holders, or to mark a spot in
your knitting that you need to refer to later on.

So, there you have it! Six gadgets I can’t live
without when I knit. If you are very serious about
knitting, and like to see your project look its best when
finished, then these *6* wonderful knitting gadgets should
always be close by.

Fans of Genndy Tartakovsky’s “Samurai Jack,” which wrapped last year on the Cartoon Network, enjoy the quirky storytelling and stunning visuals, also the martial arts sequences. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before the online gaming industry turned the time-traveling samurai’s adventures into video games.

I haven’t tried any of the games available for gaming console systems, confining my efforts instead to Cartoon Network’s own Web Site. Its Games section features six games based on “Samurai Jack,” including “The Way of the Warrior,” in which the young samurai trains through several simulations for his eventual battle with the shape-shifting evil sorcerer Aku (deliciously voiced by veteran actor Mako in the series and console games).

The other games invariably feature Jack battling Aku’s minions–robots, beetle insects, and the like. Two of the games feature a final showdown with Aku.

“Code of the Samurai” was a tie-in with a Samurai Jack marathon, so when you access the game, the interface asks you “Enter Code or Play.” I advise pushing Play since the original marathon was two years ago.

Once you get into the game, you have to fight through three treacherous levels before you even get to Aku.

The first level features crumbling ledges, motorized spikes, machine-gun fire as you ride rock lifts up mountains, and of course, the inevitable baddies waiting to attack you. Tip: When riding the rock lifts, duck and jump to avoid the machine gun fire. Seize the opportunity when the second lift descends or ascends close to the lift you’re on, otherwise you’ll have to avoid the gunfire until the lift comes back within reach. The level features two lift challenges, all with a computerized attacker waiting at the top of the cliff.

The creatures on all three levels are adversaries that fans of “Samurai Jack” will recognize: zombie warriors, Terminator-style robots who look like they have baskets on their heads, and Aku’s minions that turn into vapor when you attack them.

Tip: Try whenever possible to hit the targets with a good quick thrust of Jack’s katana. The game says other weapons are available to Jack, but for some reason you only see him use his katana. Go slow and time your attacks so that the targets can’t hit you first.

Jack gets five “lives,” and you can see the red meter slowly shrink as he is bombarded with digital mayhem. Try to at least hold on to the fourth “life” when getting to the second level. After you clear each level the “life” you’re currently on is replenished (Jack must have been drinking his trademark green tea.) When you get to the third level, try to keep at least three “lives,” although you can get away with two. You need at least two to have a chance during the final skirmish with Aku.

At the end of the first two levels you do battle with a giant adversary more powerful than the others: a skeleton warrior on the first, a basket-head warrior on the second. The good news is you can watch its “life” meter and track your progress on defeating it.

The second level is filled with gears running amuck to mow you down, blades slashing at you, and on all three levels you run the risk of falling in slime or on sharp spikes, which make you lose a life. Tip: Time your jumps to avoid the gears, but don’t get too jumpy, otherwise you fall into the slime.

The third level features spikes, moving platforms and even wider jumps, if that’s possible. Tip: The vapor demons can appear anywhere and are more poweerful than the adversaries in the first two levels. But this workout is just practice, flexing your muscles for the clash with Aku.

The final stage features ledges that sink into lava–you have to jump fast before you fall in. The computerized Aku is quite impressive, and just as in the series, flies off several times before Jack can deliver the final blow. But be brave, be steadfast, be victorious, and you, gamer, will defeat the evil scourge! The conclusion to the game is satisfying and delivers the anticipated emotional payoff.
