DiamondNite Diamond Moissanite Tester is useless
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. And every woman trusts her jeweler to give her an authentic stone. So I simply don’t understand why any manufacturer would waste their time on creating the DiamondNite Diamond Moissanite Tester. This gizmo will tell you whether you are getting a real diamond or just a really well crafted piece of moissanite. But for that you first need to know how to pick a manufactured diamond from its naturally produced and chemically identical cousin. Like I said, extremely useless, this gadget is definitely not worth an investment. You could probably use it to scare your friends by telling her that she has been cheated and given a fake piece. Priced at $199, you will surely not regret buying this gizmo.

91 year old Chinese tailor is still going strong
We have heard about determination and dedication to one’s work in stories and inspirational speech’s. But 91 year old Ran from China’s southwestern city - Chengdu, is actually a living example of this.

He mastered the skill of specializing in stitching bra’s for women when he worked in a department store. Now however, all that remains of his business is a small balcony outside his apartment.

MOTO QA30 QUERTY slider for the text addicts
First pictures of the MOTO QA30 are released and it is good news for the texting/webpage obsessed folks who need to get a little peek at their FB updates every now and then. It features a full QUERTY keyboard but the slider is too thickset in its design, when open or closed, which means you can’t put it in your pocket, nor can you hold it comfortably in your hand. It will be released by Alltel in the US and its MicroSD slot supports cards up to 8GB.
CS series of Sony Vaio wrapped up in faux crocodile skin
I have a great dislike for reptiles, so when things like crocodile skin are used in the name of fashion, I feel I tend to for it distasteful. However, if reptile skins are your thing, you will be happy to know that Sony has genetically engineered crocodiles in pretty pink, luscious red, and chocolaty brown colors exclusively wrapping its CS series VAIO notebooks in organic texture. Don't worry no crocodiles were harmed in the process, the skins are purely plastic and bits of silicon. For now these disastrous looking laptops are set to hit the Japanese market at a little over $1000. There is no word about an international release and I am not too saddened by that. But you guys can keep your fingers crossed!

Moms are texting to stay in touch with their new gen kids
Talking on the phone isn’t happening these days, especially for the moms who call up and await their kid’s response for a long, long time. That’s when moms and grandmoms have taken to the new way of parenting, i.e. Text messaging.

There are moms who message their kids in high school, asking “Hey how’s lunch today?” for which they get a reply within a few seconds. It’s not just mom’s we’re talking about here, even grandmoms over 60 who have learned to use the new age technology. Parents have to shift to the things that they use because it’s likely a parent’s best shot of actually getting a reply from their busy, tech-savvy kids.
