Phone Charger with Case

I always love to go portable and every once in a while when I discover a new item on the market, I let everyone know. This device is a keeper because not only does it come with a handy case.

Dell Warranty void

Dell users be warned if you install VLC or KM Player on your computer, Dell will void your warranty. The excuse that Dell is using is that the software overrides Dell's manufacturing specs and damages the speaker. So if you install the software, you void Dell's manufacture computer warranty. Sound ridiculous, yes it as and as for the software makers response. It's that Dell is building computers with poor quality speakers.
