Have you ever wanted a heavy pulse phone from the ’50s with the loud gong bells to be powered by a cellphone? In this amazingly diverse world, someone has delivered (for the reasonable sum of $499):

Description: This is the ever popular Portable Rotary Phone, now in Red! Phone comes fully assembled and tested. All you have to do is open the phone, insert your SIM card, and turn the unit on! The unit will utilize your phone number and account minutes. Phone dials out like normal through the rotary. Incoming calls ring the original, loud, gong style metal bells. Please note: As with all cellular phones, there is no dial tone. While we thoroughly enjoying taking the Port-O-Rotary out on the town, please realize the sound quality will not be as good as your pocket phone. This phone is for entertainment purposes only!

The GM862 cellular module from Telit works within any country that has one of the 900MHz/1800MHz/1900MHz cellular bands (90% of the world). Each phone is specially built to customer needs. The battery can run the phone for 4-5 days and is charged by unscrewing two screws on the bottom of the phone, opening it, and attaching the charger.

When someone mentions antivirus to you, you’re likely to think McAfee or Norton. They’re the incumbents, and they’re not nearly as effective as the little guy. Let me introduce Kaspersky, an information security software vendor headquartered in Moscow. Their flagship product for home users is Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0, which in my experience is much more effective than what the incumbents provide. Internet Security 6.0 protects you against spam, viruses, spyware, and hackers. Kaspersky boasts an antivirus update interval of one hour, which is far more expedient than the competition. Their software has very little overhead and memory usage, which causes your machine to run like a thoroughbred. The installation process is straightforward and understandable. The interface is intuitive and clean; working with it is a joy. Kaspersky ensures that your computer is clean, fast, and productive. I highly recommend Kaspersky over the competition. Take a look at the Kaspersky website to see their full line of product offerings.
