The Sign of a Real "Tekkie"

Nowadays, real "Tekkies" first go through a geeky process before trying out for the first time a recently bought or newly acquired gadget that's still virginal in its box or packaging - or any similar scenario where we get to try out a cool device for the first time. 

There's this initial process called "unboxing" where we take step-by-step pictures or videos of the opening of the box, the discovering of the manuals and accessories, sometimes the freebies, and the first look of the gadget itself.Then take pictures/videos of the gadget from all sides highlighting its various parts and features.

Finally the turning on, and actual demonstration of its capabilities, strengths and weaknesses, if any. Did I mentioned there's the commentaries that goes along at every part of the entire process. If its pictures were taking, we may even have text, captions or notes below them.

It's truly a fun way to devirginize our new gadget and proudly introduce "her" to the social media world, and quite historical and memorable indeed. The recorded "unboxing" process would now forever be immortalized as part of our geeky lives. Plus we get to flaunt to our friends that we're totally "in" and "tekkie."

The PhysX Card

Generally, a dedicated PhysX card is not required, but it is a great option. A dedicated PhysX card is a great option if:

1. You have an extra Nvidia card lying around
2. You are playing games with hardware-accelerated PhysX
3. Of course, if you have an extra budget to purchase a dedicated PhysX card
4. Your PSU can support the main card and the PhysX card

 

Here is a good reference of using GTX 650 and GTX 460 as dedicated PhysX cards:

Epson Products Now Available In Group-Buying Sites

“Customers looking for great deals can now find high precision, energy efficient Epson products available in group-buying sites. “

Talk about added convenience to consumers too busy to buy them personally from stores. Epson products can now be bought online at the Ensogo online shopping site. But that’s just for starters. Eventually, they will soon be available in other group buying sites. Great news for us consumers!


I really believe selling online is one the smartest thing to do in this day and age where the Internet and social media takes an overwhelming upper-hand in communicating and connecting with the people.

It’s obvious that these people online are pretty much knowledgeable and know their way around technology, and would surely understand the significant advantages of choosing Epson printers as the ideal choice for quality yet affordable printing.

Further details below:

Epson Philippines Corporation (EPC) Head of Sales & Marketing Support Jino N. Alvarez explains that the move is designed to give greater benefits to customers. “Epson products are well known for high-quality, precision engineering. However, we are also highlighting the amazing affordability of our products by making them available in non-traditional channels such as online shopping sites.”

Currently, customers can enjoy a 50% discount on selected Epson color laser printers at www.ensogo.com.ph. In the future, Epson products may also be available in other group buying sites.

“Aside from people who frequent group buying sites, customers on the lookout for amazing deals should always visit the Epson website (www.epson.com.ph) or like the Epson Philippines Facebook page (www.facebook.com/epsonphilippines) to be informed of these promos,” added Alvarez.
