Wish Lists on Amazon have always been a popular feature. They let you show to everyone else things they should buy you from Amazon. The new twist is the Universal list where you can add anything from any site to your wish list. I definitely like to see my employer heading in a more “open to the rest of the Web” direction with its features.

All you have to do is drag the bookmark button to your toolbar and use it to add entries to your wish list whenever you find a product you want on the web. I’ve added one for a new Lenovo tablet laptop on my wishlist.

Get the Universal Wish List. Apologies for the advertisement, I really like the new feature though. And I’m sure one of you can find a completely inappropriate use for it.

From a review of the new 3g iPhone:

More important, in daily use, I found the battery indicator on the new 3G model slipping below 20% by early afternoon or midafternoon on some days, and it entirely ran out of juice on one day. I overcame this problem by learning to use Wi-Fi instead of 3G whenever possible, turning down the screen brightness and even turning off 3G altogether, which the phone permits.

It always amazes me when you give someone the shiniest new tool on the block how they will self-train around major annoyances. Your power source should be the one thing that you shouldn’t have to worry about; power is a major concern when it’s the foundation of electricity and your new shiny device’s operation. Not that this device doesn’t work better than any of the other devices when it’s powered, but to put it bluntly, you sound silly saying you learned how to manually manage the power of your 200 dollar “high tech” device.
