XMI X-Mini II Mini Speaker : Hands-On Review

We all love to listen music on our smartphones and computers. But most of the time, our devices either lack the loudness or the audio quality in their speakers. Our <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/search/label/Gadgets">gadgets</a> let us<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/11/top-5-headphones-for-under-20000.html"> enjoy the music</a> when we are using the earphones but same is not the case with the speakers. So, it is better to go with the good quality external speakers. <br /> <br /> But if you think that an external speaker with good audio quality will be a huge one then, there is a good news for you.<b> XMI X-Mini II Mini Speaker</b> is the perfect combination of the power and size. So, you get a nice quality external speaker in a very compact size.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a alt="XMI X-Mini II Mini Speaker Hands-on Review" href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="XMI X-Mini II Mini Speaker Hands-on Review"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgavWb0Zc_MuZ7wIpgA4FvXVtOPMCO7BUlSOKfBkiKzTecNfakYs5mpqD8wXtQwsqZYa9H_9c2coF6NFBqICB0d8kPpVffb1Ba3RiS26Mr4J_rtxixeZqD0poTqgQd-TmW7LfgboSCHl7mY/s1600/x-mini-2-speakers-review.jpg" /></a></div><br /> I have received a pair of XMI X-Mini II Mini Speakers recently from GearZap which is a popular gadget accessory site from where you can buy the nice stuff like <a href="http://www.gearzap.com/tablet-accessories/google/nexus-7-accessories.html"> Nexus 7 accessories</a> and <a href="http://www.gearzap.com/tablet-accessories/samsung/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-accessories.html">Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 accessories</a>.

In most homes you will find an <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/04/how-to-sell-your-old-cell-phone-online.html" target="_blank">old mobile phone</a> left within a drawer, a dated laptop awaiting a trip to the tip, or a video camera used once but then ignored as <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/search/label/Mobile%20Phones" target="_blank">smart phones</a> can provide the same task. Technology has developed at such a rapid rate and is also affordable that we strive for the latest models on the market.

Old mobiles can be recycled and in return you can receive anything from £40-£250 depending on the make and model. This is also the case for laptops, video cameras, DVD players, and televisions. <br /> <br /> There are several outlets in which you can<b> <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/06/sell-old-cell-phone-at-best-price.html" target="_blank">sell your old gadgets</a></b>, from sites such as Envirofone dedicated to<b> recycling old mobile phones</b> to eBay where there are several people waiting to buy your old gadgets for spare parts. It couldn’t be easier or any quicker to do, and you could find yourself earning a large sum of money for something that would have continued to gather dust.<br /> <br /> VoucherCloud.com have produced this<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/search/label/Infographics" target="_blank"> infographic</a> to outline just how our love of technology is risking our earth’s resources.

Top 5 Stupid Ways to Get a Computer Virus

"Free protection for your computer - just click below". Seriously? You're going to fall for that? You don't even know who I am. How many free pills would you be willing to scoop up if some random person placed a few thousand pills on a table labeled "free medicine?" Before we get into this list of stupid things, let's first see if you are still flying by the seat of your pants without<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/02/top-5-free-antivirus-download.html" target="_blank"><b> proper virus and malware protection</b></a>. If so, then you are on a different, even less flattering list.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a alt="Computer Virus Protection Tips" href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipUcwFsj2tiDUsMUj5rGQ1pnk_v2Gi_mB7rVI3ycKJkUYBeznUJyz6WU9KR4Y-to5zwWwgsM4_dIQfvc-YBFiHxXT90nSt5H8AgoVZOH1vmS_Kilhwtu0WwDgqhgJh9Cuu_XYLQ7vjPYLL/s1600/computer-virus-protection-tips.jpeg" /></a></div><h2>How to Avoid Viruses on Your Computer</h2><br /> <h3>1. Falling for Lures and Traps</h3><br /> Are you a fish? Then why are you acting like one? You swim around the Internet looking for interesting items. Like a fish, when you see something shiny or that looks like food, you click. Free what? Wow. You can't pass this up. Before you know it, you're hooked; and you don't even know what you signed up for, let alone how to cancel it. Then, you notice a program that pops up every time you log in. Soon, your hard drive is getting fried and your search engine is crawling in strange places while pop-ups ignore your pop-up blocker. The lesson here is - if you don't know what it is, where it came from, or who is offering it, don't click.<br /> <br /> Also Read :<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/04/keeping-your-personal-computer-secure-7.html" target="_blank">7 Tips to Keep Your Personal Computer Secure</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/12/malware-protection-infographic.html" target="_blank">How to Protect Your Computer from Malware (Infographic)</a><br /> <br /> <h3>2. Virus Pirates</h3><br /> A virus pirate is someone who plants a virus in your computer. This states that your computer is in trouble and that you should enroll now for their program that will fix it. This scam comes in various forms. Often, the program suggests that it is a virus protection program which will continue to protect your computer. Wow, they are willing to help. You will pay anything to get that warning off your screen. Sometimes, they even say that you have been caught by the FBI with pirated material in your computer and you need to send money via a pre-paid Visa to pay the fines and penalties. Who would fall for that? It's scary how many do.<br /> <br /> <br /> <h3>3. Buying from the Proverbial Back of a Car</h3><br /> Who doesn't like a good deal? When someone offers you a $10,000 Rolex out of the back of his car, how are you to know where it came from? It's the same online; there are all kinds of deals on the Internet. Free programs, free trials, and even digital delights that you know aren't above board. Smart people or people who have been burned before just walk on by. You may be smart, but the offer looks too legit and too tempting. So you<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/search/label/Gaming" target="_blank"> download a copy of a game </a>or program that came out only yesterday for a third of the price. What a deal! But just like how that fake Rolex dealer duped you, you may also find yourself paying for a phony program. Then, as an extra bonus, it may even have a <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/07/how-to-protect-your-online-accounts.html" target="_blank">virus that corrupts your data </a>to keep you from tracing its source.<br /> <br /> <br /> <h3>4. Piracy</h3><br /> There are pirates and then there are people who dress like Johnny Depp. Real pirates will find what they are looking for by going to respectable pirate hangouts, like The Pirate Bay that has a cute little skull and cross-bone symbol for virus-free pirate booty. Novice pirates don't know that being an ignorant pirate doesn't pay. Torrent files can be infected by a virus easy enough. You may get your hot copy of a shaky cam capture of The Hobbit with only a few bobbing heads at the bottom of the screen, but you may get a Gollum virus as well.<br /> <br /> <br /> <h3>5. Email Spam and Scam</h3><br /> The first and perhaps still the best stupid way to get a virus is via email. It seems so personal. Whoever this is, sent it to you directly. He even called you by name. Or, it may be from someone you know who has something you just have to see, just click. Now what? You click and acquire a killer virus. How could your friend do this to you? Your friend probably didn't. Someone hacked into his email account and then sent all of his friends a big surprise.

Top 5 QR Code Scanners for Android Smartphone

Ever since the old Android marketplace was revamped and re-launched as the Google Play Store, it has been flooded by<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/search/label/Applications" target="_blank"> top-quality apps</a> for almost every purpose you can think off. Here are the <b>5 best <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/01/what-is-qr-code.html" target="_blank">QR code </a>scanning apps for Android devices</b> that stand out from the hundreds of code scanning apps in the Google Play Store. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a alt="Top 5 QR Code Scanners for Android Smartphone" href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" title="QR Code T-shirt Girl"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ5yZEji6h_r8KOabLVJLQ5uU73brwJANasgulcnCAg6FBjlECf_uw-x0AAU58phHtyY4TecHdiC3BexGUqitqFfdYFskeJt7IIHzXOdZ_Eqf4ZIUsuaHUZlvPRskRfoaxfK6SaqAhTL2C/s1600/QR+Code+T-Shirt+Girl.jpg" /></a></div><br /> <h2>Best QR Code Scanners for Android Smartphone</h2><br /> <h3>i-nigma</h3><br /> The i-nigma QR code reader for <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/search/label/iPhone" target="_blank">iOS devices</a> did very well and it was only a matter of the i-nigma is actually better than its iOS counterpart. For starters, you have access to a lot more customization options for Android i-nigma than for the iOS one. <br /> <br /> It also lets you scan other types of barcodes and the inbuilt shopper feature allows you to browse prices on competitor’s websites. Besides saving a local history of scanned QR codes, it also lets you sort and separate out your favourite ones, such as the QR code of a particular contact. <br /> <br /> <h3>Barcode Scanner</h3><br /> Barcode Scanner stared off as a simple app to scan barcodes on packaged material. However, the app has evolved into one of the essential must-have apps for all Android devices. Not only does the app let you scan codes, it also looks up reviews and does price comparisons whenever necessary. It also features an excellent QR code generator that allows you to <b>create your own QR codes</b> to share contacts, browser bookmarks, apps, etc. <br /> <br /> <h3>mobiScan QR</h3><br /> mobiScan is already quite well known for its amazing barcode scanning app. Even their QR code scanning app is nothing less than user-friendly. It may not be able to scan multiple types of codes, but that certainly as its benefits. For those looking for a simple QR code scanner, mobiScan QR is as good as it gets. Also, since the app is exclusively designed to work with QR codes only, it scans and decodes information at a much faster rate than any other QR scanning app in the Google Play Store. <br /> <br /> <h3>QR Droid</h3><br /> QR Droid is one of the most downloaded QR code scanning app in the Google Play Store and one only has to take a look at the features it offers in order to understand why it is so popular. Like Barcode Scanner, QR Droid also lets you create your own QR codes in order to share information. <br /> <br /> Other apps let you store previously scanned codes within the app. However, QR Droid allows you to store you QR code scanning history online or on a SD card. A simple interface and good scanning speed make it a sweetheart of the Android universe. <br /> <br /> Also Read :<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/02/5-creative-business-uses-of-qr-codes.html" target="_blank">5 Creative Uses of QR Codes for Business</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/12/custom-image-qr-code-generator.html" target="_blank">HOW TO : Create Colored QR Code of Your Own Image and Business Logo</a><br /> <br /> <h3>QuickMark QR Code Reader</h3><br /> To be honest, there isn’t much that makes QuickMark QR Code Reader stand out from its competition. It does all the basic things expected off a QR code reader in a satisfactory manner; it scans codes at an acceptable speed, allows you to store your scan history and provides options to share QR codes. However, it does have an ace up its sleeve. <br /> <br /> QuickMark has its very own<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/04/must-have-google-chrome-extension.html" target="_blank"> Chrome browser extension </a>which makes it super-easy to access web links embedded within QR codes. If you scan a lot of QR codes with links to websites, then this app is perfect for your needs. <br /> <br /> No matter what your need or which Android device you are using, one of the 5 <b>best QR code scanning apps</b> is bound to perfect for your requirements.

You can even add the documents from your SkyDrive, Box, Dropbox, Evernote and <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/12/free-stock-images.html" target="_blank">Google Drive</a> accounts directly to HelloFax to send the free international fax.<br /> <br /> The only drawback of this service is that you cannot use your free account to receive faxes. If you want to receive faxes then, you’ll have to buy an incoming fax number. But if you just want to send free international fax then, your free account is sufficient for that.

Star Wars vs Star Trek - Which One Got Superior Technology (Infographic)

Star Trek fans have been known to take an active interest in the Star Wars series, as both brands appeal to the average <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/06/what-kind-of-geek-are-you-infographic.html" target="_blank">sci-fi geek</a>. That said, there are just as many people who passionately love one but not the other. There is much to be said, however, for the debate about which world possesses superior technology.<br /> <br /> Anyone who witnessed a faceoff between the two series’ main starships would see quite a battle. We think the edge rests with Star Wars’ Slave-1, however, as the Enterprise-D can’t stand up to its speed or weaponry. The former hosts 190 megatons of artillery, while passengers aboard the Enterprise only have access to 64 megatons of missiles.<br /> <br /> When it comes to weapons of mass destruction, diehard Trekkies know that nothing compares to Vulcan Red Matter, which can call up a black hole when enough heat or pressure is present. The Empire’s Death Star Beam is pretty great when it comes to destroying the Borg, but <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/11/how-star-trek-brought-holograms-to-life.html">Star Trek</a> maintains the edge here.<br /> <br /> Source: BestOnlineEngineeringDegree.com<br /> <br /> Also Check : <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/07/sci-fi-film-gadgets-their-real-life.html" target="_blank">Sci-Fi Film Gadgets & Their Real Life Counterparts</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/09/Real-Life-Sci-Fi-Gadgets-From-TV-Movies.html" target="_blank">6 Sci-Fi Gadgets from TV & Movies that Actually Exist (Infographic)</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/07/how-scientifically-accurate-is-star.html" target="_blank">How Scientifically Accurate is Star Trek Technology?

Why Giving Up on a Website could be Your Best Option

Websites can become very personal endeavours and particularly when we<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/10/how-to-manage-your-time-on-your-blog.html" target="_blank"> invest a lot of our time, effort and money</a> in making them a success. As such then, when things go wrong and our <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/search/label/SEO" target="_blank">sites suddenly fall down the rankings</a>, or get bad reviews from people, it can be literally crushing and difficult to deal with. What’s even harder though as a result, is knowing when to let go and when to say goodbye to our hard work. <br /> <br /> Nevertheless though this is something that we should learn and that can <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/11/8-shopping-apps-to-save-money-this.html" target="_blank">save us a lot of money</a> and a lot more wasted time. Here we will look at why it’s so important to know when it’s time to say goodbye to a website and how to take the edge off of it a little bit.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a alt="Funny Blogging Meme" href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" title="Funny Blogging Meme"><img border="0" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu6bDRtl8inkNs25fO5qz-CEamBRHvClL7fInzetGu4y15p31GVF2svqxx7omlesAsBk0O_A5pLgfobyF3RAJa4d0s5uqEVKZyVjCedUFNA8prblTnMA6PI-hxtph75kQUApsdkxdTsBvc/s400/quit+blogging+meme.jpg" width="398" /></a></div><h2>When and Why Does It Make Sense in Giving Up on Your Website?</h2><br /> <strong>Why You Need to Let Go</strong><br /> <br /> When your website starts struggling, a natural impulse might well be to refuse to see sense and to try and direct more attention and effort into it to get it up and running again. Of course we don’t like letting our hard work go to waste, and so we’ll tend to try redesigning the site, looking into what went wrong, and<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/09/best-fiverr-seo-gigs-tips.html" target="_blank"> investing lots of money into SEO and marketing</a>.<br /> <br /> Often though this will simply prove to be a waste of more time and money. If your website has suddenly experienced a drop in performance then chances are that this is for a reason and that you’ve been blacklisted by Google. This may be because your content was seen as spam, or it might be due to a <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/07/can-negative-seo-really-hurt-your.html" target="_blank">negative SEO attack</a>. Either way though, this can take a long time to undo and in the latter case even if you <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/10/remove-spam-backlinks-using-google-disavow-tool.html" target="_blank">use Google’s Disavow Links tool</a> it still means there’s someone out there gunning for your site and they could do it again. <br /> <br /> Generally, it’s easier to get a new site to the top of Google than it is to convince the search giant that a site it’s previously viewed as spam content is now worth reading. And while it’s possible that you could turn tings around, there’s no guarantee that you won’t just be pouring your time and energy into a black hole.<br /> <br /> Alternatively of course it may just be that your website was ill-advised from its inception, and that it was never going to succeed. If you’ve been plugging away for years with no success then it might be time to simply draw a line under the project and accept that people don’t need it.<br /> <br /> <strong>A Brave New Start</strong><br /> <br /> More to the point, starting again from scratch is actually a great opportunity – it means you can take the lessons from your old site and make your new one even better and more successful. Having had a previous website in the same niche is the <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/09/top-4-internet-marketing-tools-for.html" target="_blank">best possible market research</a>, and it’s a great way to ensure that your next site is an absolute winner.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a alt="Funny Blogging Meme" href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" title="Funny Blogging Meme"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggjNjZ-LxX4tKGNpYVFhiB3r4N70xuAjQDv7j7a_DK9TsdF3TDjn3g5-ZuoOOgVFvhyO_BEb0LiUy1D3psRf9-_W8uo_1PghCZoeVjAGSWbCJdO1vga12YDRdFw8HcrNfqSX_D8LOEOFea/s1600/Sceptical+Blogger+Kid+Meme.jpg" /></a></div>And starting a new website doesn’t have to mean starting from scratch in the traditional sense either – you can use your old site still to <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/02/how-to-attract-more-eyeballs-to-your.html" target="_blank">promote your new website</a> by telling visitors about it, and you can still use elements of your old design/code to make your new site more quickly and efficiently.<br /> <br /> Of course you shouldn’t drop your website at the soonest sign of trouble, <em>but </em>it is important to know when to call it quits, and to try something new. On this occasion it’s crucial to follow your head and your business sense rather than your heart and your sense of nostalgia…<br /> <br /> Ben Austin is an SEO expert at SEO-Positive.co.uk and has optimized many business websites.
