Bleck. Double bleck. Just ew!But as vile as the Nopopo (which stands for no pollution power) batteries sound, you don't just point and shoot/aim and go all over the batteries to recharge them. Instead, there is a pipette. Though, how you pee into it without getting it all over your hands, shoes and the floor is a mystery. But if you're not the peeing into pipettes type, you can also use beer, saliva, apple juice or coco-cola.

Just under two years ago Google launched Google Apps for businesses, offering a set of of products that enable secure and cost-effective applications in the cloud. Fast-forward to today and our expanded Google Apps suite is used by more than 1 million businesses, with 3,000 new companies signing up each day.
They have adapted this program to complement resellers' current business models. Authorized Resellers have the flexibility to combine their existing services with Google Apps. With cloud-based Google Apps there is no new hardware or software to maintain. The Authorized Reseller program benefits include:
* owning the customer relationship and billing structure
* providing consulting, service management and end-user support
* receiving a recurring discount on the annual Google Apps licensing fee
* receiving marketing, sales and technical training from Google

In the weeks after the App Store submission process went live, a number of developers got a big smack in the face from Cupertino. After spending hundreds of hours developing their wares, they were turned away for offering features too similar to Apple’s own offerings, or “duplicate functionality”. The outcry was instantaneous and deafening; it’s one thing to have pride in your work, but to essentially ban competition is ridiculous.
Over the past 24 hours, it appears that a shift in this policy may have occurred. With Apple offering their own Mobile Safari browser on the iPhone, most expected that alternative browsers would never see the light of day. At the time of writing, at least 4 such browsers have suddenly been given the greenlight.
Ranging from free to $1.99, the now-approved browsers are: Edge Browser (Free), Incognito ($1.99), Webmate ($0.99), and Shaking Web .

Yes, it's true, 5 days out of the week I haul around a heavy laptop. It's heavy because it's one of those tablet laptops that allows me to wage digital warfare with Illustrator.
So many places are going wireless now that I often find myself picking up signals in odd places. But the problem is I can't plug into anything and my battery gets drained unbelievably fast! It causes me to clench my jaw tight and silently growl.
And so the search begins for the cheapest way to get batteries for my travels when occasions such as this arise. The lowest price for batteries anywhere is LCB, they have the lowest price in Dell Laptop Batteries, camcorder batteries, digital camera batteries, batteries used in medical equipment, UPS back-up batteries...I had no clue so many batteries existed but let me just tell you, LCB has them. Have no fear they aren't knock-offs either, they are brand name batteries just at cheaper prices. Imagine it to be like an online Costco warehouse, but just of batteries. You get the picture?
Interestingly, they also offer Battery Rebuilds for discontinued or hard to replace batteries which is pretty cool and I had to pass that news onto my grandparents. And I've told people I work for about the site, too, because we're all techie geeks and batteries come in very handy.
