Sponsored Post: Recycle Phones For The Environment
Recycling is an important action that we all must take in order to ensure that our environment stays in a tolerable balance, so we don’t experience harsher global warming then we already are witnessing (and it’s happening, fast). That includes the gadgets you read about everyday on LaptopMemo. If you ask yourself where are you going to put that old phone away for example, or if you don’t have anyone to give it to, or don’t want to sell it, then you could make good use of mobile phone recycling sites (besides all of the above). SellYourMobile is one I’ve heard of and that works (Disclaimer: they are a sponsor of LaptopMemo) and it’s a place where you can sell your mobile for cash. They’ll compare the best mobile phone recycling sites for you, and then you pick from the suggestions, and obviously, you should pick the best one you can find.
Also stay clear of the scams out there, because just like eBay and Craigslist, there are always those who just want to mess around with your time. And to those guys: please find something better to do, because we all consider you to be douches.
Another cool feature on the site is the Mobile Phone Recycling Price Comparison Tool, which asks for the model/make of your phone, and targets the most rewarding recycling site for you (in terms of how much green they’ll fork over to you).
So, that’s that. If you want to sell phones for cash, and even if you’re in the UK, then give SellYourMobile a try. And hey, they might just sell my phone.
I’ve heard of profit margin, but Apple has taken it to a new level. The production costs for the new iPod Nano, which is now sans a camera and clickwheel, are $43.73 in materials and $1.37 in total manufacturing costs. The most expensive components on the watch0like MP3 player are the 8GB of NAND Flash memory ($14.40), the display ($11.50), and the Samsung processor ($4.95). Also keep in mind each iPod Nano comes with its own headset and USB cable. But still those items are probably super-cheap as well, so we can only draw this to one conclusion: Apple is charging you for the iPod Nano because they can and want to.
This is insane. There’s on option on the new EON 17 for 24GB of RAM! It comes with a 17.3 Full HD LED Backlit 16:9 Widescreen at 1920 x 1080 pixels, optional Intel Core i7 980X desktop CPUs, dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480M video cards in SLI harmony, has Blu-Ray playback with HDMI 1.4 output, and up to three hard drives. Now to crush your excitement. Cost: a $2,499 starting price which is jacked up by the super RAM option by $2,831.
