Angry Birds Trivia and Free Games

I am pretty sure that you have already heard of the game Angry Birds. And I would not be surprised as well if you have played the game, too. Angry Birds is a cute game developed by Rovio. It is a puzzle game which incorporates physics into it. The player uses a slingshot with a limited variety of birds as the sling’s bullet. The objective is to hit the green pigs residing in rickety structures using your bullets, which are the birds. You do this by controlling the trajectory of the bullets and crashing the structures to hit the pigs inside it. Once all the pigs have been eliminated, you can proceed to the next level. Take note that as you advance in levels, the difficulty of the game increases. At the same time, you get to use different birds with different abilities. It is a fun game and with practice you can finish the game in no time.

But before it became a hit, do you have any idea of how the game originated? I am sure you are eager to learn more about your favorite game. Rovio has long been developing games but was not able to break through the market until around the year 2009. The idea started with sketches of wingless birds with angry faces. These sketches eventually caught the attention of the developers and eventually made a game about it. The green pigs were later additions in the development stage. The idea of adding green pigs was inspired by the swine flu which was the big news during that period. The game’s origin sounds funny and interesting right?

If you can’t get enough Angry Birds from your iPad or tablet, then try playing it online. Aside from Google Chrome version, you can also play free Angry Birds on your computer. Just go to Free-Games.net Angry Birds and have fun! You can also enjoy other free online games there!

BlackBerry PlayBook: Keeping Things Amazing

What’s your pick among BlackBerry Torch, Storm, Curve, Bold and Pearl? I’ve been saying NO to QWERTY keypad but Torch seems to be torturing me.

With the different gadgets released last 2010, it may really be hard to keep up with the fast-paced technology. In terms of smartphones, I have to do a lot of catching up. Is BlackBerry PlayBook better than iPad?

Breathtaking multimedia! (blackberry.com)

Research In Motion (RIM) released the  9.7 mm thick tablet computer called BlackBerry PlayBook last September 27, 2010. It was known for breathtaking multimedia for HD video and display, rich audio quality and hard core gaming. It supports most of the portable BlackBerry applications and opens the doors to unlimited web experience with enable Adobe Flash and built-in HTML 5 support. It guarantees high-quality graphics and videos, plus the notable high-speed connections.

But still, Apple’s iPad competes with it’s zooming capabilities, battery life and few basic features such as connectivity and storage. It also offers optional iPad accessories like keyboard dockl, casing, and more.

Rechargeable Batteries for my Wireless Mouse

After buying a wireless mouse for Chandler, a series of battery purchase comes next. I love Eveready because we’ve been using it this brand at home even when I was a kid. I trust this one that much and happy with the result until I realize that I am spending a lot for batteries because they don’t last long. My laptop runs from 8-24 hours a day and so as its wireless mouse. It’s more convenient to use than the laptop’s built-in mouse because I’d rather have my right hand moving than just my fingers. Too scare of RSI, am I?

Going wireless is more convenient!

It seems that switching off my wireless mouse when not in use is not helping that much so rechargeable batteries will be the ultimate answer to my dilemma.

PC Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Samsung LCD Monitor

No display?

My cousin texted me that she has to bring her home PC to the computer shop because she can’t use it anymore. I thought it was an issue with the Samsung LCD for she had once told me that the monitor won’t switch on. But after reading all of her text messages, I’ve learned that the computer is no longer loading the Windows settings, it keeps on booting up.

My younger sister is currently taking up Computer Technology so I suggested my cousin to ask for her help. If I were there, I can actually fix it for free. As a matter of fact, I have reformatted our home computer, too. Yes, it’s too time-consuming but I can do it myself because I am computer savvy. If some issues can’t be fixed by basic troubleshooting and when all resources have been exhausted, pc formatting is the last resort.

It really pays to be knowledgeable about computers, be it hardware or software. I think basic understanding about pc troubleshooting and maintenance can also save novice users from computer problems. For example, shutting down of PC should be done properly after closing down all of the applications. It’s not recommended to press the power switch or unplug your computer to turn it off. It’s not even advisable to keep the computer up for 24X7 like what more Americans do! Come on, even machines need rest.

Hewlett Packard (HP) Customer Service

Have you ever wondered where I’ve been during those times that my blogs weren’t updated? Oh believe me, it sucks to live without a laptop. Exaggeration intended. What I mean is, it is real pain in the a$$ if you can’t go online and you have a lot of things to do in the world wide web.

Yeah, Chandler (my HP Compaq laptop) has been away from me for weeks because HP technicians were fixing it at the HP Service Center.
