Parfum duftet immer gut! Oder?

20 Jan

Wie und wann schenkt man ein Parfum? Oder sollte man vielleicht ein Parfum überhaupt nicht verschenken? Dies könnte eine heikle Angelegenheit werden. Nicht nur unterscheiden sich die Geschmäcker auch duftet jeder Duft bei jedem Menschen anders.

 

Auch stellt sich die Frage, ob es immer gleich ein richtiges Parfum sein muss, oder geht doch erst mal ein Kölnisch Wasser bzw. ein Au de Toilette. Da kann die Freundin, die Frau bzw. der Freund oder der Mann erst einmal den Duft ausprobieren, bevor Sie in die teurere Alternative investieren. Die einfachste Variante ist natürlich einfach das Lieblingsparfum zu schenken. Das kann nicht verkehrt sein.

Videos adé?

12 Jan

Außer den alten VHS-Kassetten, gekauft oder aus dem Fernsehen aufgenommen, gibt es jetzt eine Vielzahl von neuen Formaten für Videos. Jetzt können Sie Ihre Urlaubsvideos nicht nur mit Ihrem Camcorder aufnehmen, sondern auch mit Ihren Handys, Smartphones und sogar mit etwaigen GPS-Geräten. Dies ist besonders gut für Outdoor-Aktivitäten geeignet. Auch werden die Aufnahmen jetzt oft direkt digital aufgenommen und werden zu Videodateien verarbeitet. Somit können sie schneller auf den PC oder auf das Laptop oder einfach auf einen Speicherdatenträger wie CD-ROM, DVD oder Datenstift überspielt werden und von dort aus weiter bearbeitet und abgelegt werden.

Uhren als Investitionsanlage!

3 Jan

Eine Handaufzuguhr läuft nur, wenn sie getragen wird, und sollte mindestens einmal am Tag aufgezogen werden. Sie läuft dann etwa zwei Tage. Diese Uhren brauchen keine Batterie und keine elektronischen Module. Auch kann man mit der richtigen Pflege und richtiger Handhabung dafür sogen, dass man lange etwas vom guten Stück hat. Bei mechanischen Uhren mit einem automatischen Aufzug wird durch das Tragen der Uhr ein Rotor im Uhrwerk bewegt, dessen Drehbewegung die Feder spannt. Ein Nachteil ist hier, dass das Uhrwerk selbst etwas höher ausgelegt sein muss und sich der Träger regelmäßig lange genug bewegen muss, damit der Aufzug seine Aufgabe erfüllen kann.

7 Dec

Many cars now come with a GPS system built in, but at the moment, this is normally restricted to the more up market models of car. Therefore, the market for GPS devices is one that is steadily growing. Before, the maps and directions were quite rudimentary, but now, as technology has developed, there are voice directions, standard map views, satellite map views and more.

It has not quite got to the stage where one can set the gps auto to drive you automatically, but those days can not be far away surely! There are devices and cars in development at the moment which will take an auto-pilot feature one step further. Indeed, at the moment, there are cars nearly ready for release which can park themselves.

So for this Christmas, perhaps you should consider buying a GPS device for a loved one, so that you know they can never become lost whilst driving out on the busy roads.

GPS devices range from the cheap to the absurdly priced, and it is best to check online price comparison sites in order to know that you are getting a good and fair deal.
