    Feature vs Price
    When you go shopping and if you are like me you like to compare product features.  You usually tend to select the product with the better features.  But have you ever done the feature cost calculation. Example product A cost $200 and product  B costs $250. Are the extra features in product B worth $50?

    This calculation is also worth doing if you are buying application software for your business.  For example should you invest over $1,000,000 on a ERP package from the O or S company or by something like GP from Microsoft for about $100,000.  Sure the million dollar plus package has more features but are they worth $900,000 dollars!

    By the way if you are looking for appication software PK Business Advantage can help you.  Check out this link PKBA

    Mindgames
    One of my favourite games is mindball,  the game you play with your mind.  Just strap on the headband and you are ready to compete.  The object of the game is to get the ball in the opponents goal.  How do you do this I hear you ask.  Well you just think more relaxing thoughts than your opponents.  The system measures your alpha and theta brain waves and compares them to your opponents.  The person who is more relaxed makes the ball move to the opponents goal.
    Check it out at mindball or come the the Kpower Kafe at 277 Sussex Street Sydney and play it for free.

    Price of products is on the way up. . .
    If you are looking a purchase technology products (serious business technology or gadgets) you better hurry because prices are already rising and will continue to do so in the near future.  Therefore if you need something buy it now and you could save up to 30%.  Don't say I didn't tell you.

    Pinball machine never die they just replay...

    I grew up with pinball machines.  My mother had them in her shop in the sixties.  I own a few(?) and we also sell them in our Kpower shop.  My favourites are Sweethearts from the 60's. Twilight Zone from the 90's.  I love playing them and helping restore them.

    Recharging standard batteries
    I go through a large number of batteries.  I tried using recharable batteries,  but I lost them (probably in a old gadget).  Once you have lost them once and realise their cost you go back to normal batteries.
    Now you can have the best of both worlds in a recharger that recharger normal batteries.   That's right the non-recharable ones.  Also the invention is Australian.  Check it out

    Pocket Projector
    One of my favourite presentation gadgets is my new pocket projector.  It can attach to a PC via VGA or to my iphone via AV cables.  You can use it to deliver a presentation to a group of people in a room.  Or you can use it to project movies on the wall.  Check it out at

    Automatic Doughnuts Machine
    I have just purchased a automatic doughnuts  making machine.  I put it to work last night.  Unfortunately my first attempt was not very good.  The Doughnuts did not have holes.  I made the mixture a little thicker.  I started to get donuts with holes. They are a little flat.  I am now looking for a better recipe.  The details of the unit can be found at http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/kitchen/a2d2/

    mp3 player that does not need batteries
    Some people have asked me if there is such a time as a environmently friendly MP3 Player.  Well yes there is.  It works by cranking the handle to provide power for the player.  So if you go camping in the wilderness you can have your music with you, even if you run out of batteries.  Check it out
