Shopping Heyday

If you buy a pair of jeans from a store, you have the option to try it. If you do not like it, you may leave the store, without being questioned. However, in a online store, you add things to a cart. The next time you sign into a browser, you see the items in a shopping cart, again!!

A few companies even drop you an email stating that there were items on the cart, which you did not checkout. These kind of marketing strategies is very annoying. I do not want to see 7 emails stating that I did not checkout a pair of jeans. I choose not to checkout!!

Every time, you check out of a store, empty the cart and logout. Store builders, you might want to a add a function to your cart, When the user creates a new session, you might want to empty the cart before adding the first item to the cart.

Have you had any bad experiences, or even good experiences, share with us!!

Amazon kindle is called and hyped as a revolutionary device. It is a wireless reading device, which can subscribe to books, newspapers and blogs online. It has a keyboard too, which can be used to input data when you need to subscribe. The new Kindle DX is the to be released version, with nothing added, but a larger screen.

Unless you read a lot, (4 or more hours everyday) and travel a lot, you do not need this device. Amazon kindle sucks, The idea of a wireless reader sucks. Besides costing you a massive $360 price tag, you have to pay to subscribe to online books. If you subscribe to say 10 books, you are going to be paying $100 or so, since each book is approximately priced at about $9.99!!

I found a excellent gimmick about sony wireless book reader prs700 here, and after reading that you will never buy a wireless book reader, Never!!

If you are considering to buy a mac, The answer is YES. It is pricey, but worth every cent and you will love it, what so ever. It is virus free, more secure, very fast, extremely stable and stylish.

Alright, now that you have decided to buy a mac (not convinced still?), you have to decide where to buy a mac!!

The first and foremost place to buy is the apple store. You can customize your mac and also get free shipping, but you end up paying tax.

The next best option would be buy it at amazon, you do not get a chance to personalize your mac, but you can save on the tax. Buying a mac at amazon has its own advantages.

I do not trust ebay as a good place to buy a mac, unless you are pretty sure about the requirements and trust the seller.
