There was a time when one would have longed for sexy lingerie to knock the socks off one’s partner and never had the opportunity to do so. There was a time when one would go to a secluded lingerie shop in corner of the town so that no one notices. There was a time one would be satisfied with whatever colour the shopkeeper offers, because that was the only one in your size there.

With the advent of online shopping all this is over. You are in your privacy to select the best one, the best colour and size that matches you. You just have to select whether it is a lacy g string or leather or latex. And you get that in a secluded cover without even the delivery man looking you from toe to top. It has become as easy as buying a book at the amazon.

There would be nothing more proud for you than knowing each time that you are wearing that sexy bra underneath or when undressing that you are revealing to your partner your most treasured parts.
Lingerie shopping is available in almost all major online shops. A particularly useful one would berightlingerie.

Every shopper can become a shopaholic and get into indiscriminate buying and the psychology behind this is best known to none other but the sellers. Ads and offers are all methods to prick the Achilles’ feet or the weak point of a customer and almost 70% would fall into them. Here are some of the better known secrets which would entice the consumer in buying products not actually necessary.

1. Adwise: Ads which advise you or which seems similar to your life would always make you seek for the product even if you don’t need any. Height increasing machines, Penis elongation tools all prick this weak point and ask questions humiliating your self. And one would always think these in real propositions going for the product without even checking their efficacy. But the fact is that you would never face these situations and you would never gain any length from them. Advising ads also has a great impact on your unconscious mind making you crave for something you worship in your hero.

2. Special Offers: Offers are an age old custom to entice the consumer. The word FREE is often framed in our mind that even needless items will you buy if something FREE is given making you think ‘anyway it’s profitable’. Some of the sellers add a free item which you would never expect to get otherwise. The fact is that the value of the actual product is raised much higher, but you would never notice it. This is the basic principle of the retailing sector.

3. 5 in 1 vs 1 in 1: If a watch offers you time, mp3, camera blablabla… you will most probably go in for it even though your actual aim was watching your time. Before any of these could function well your product would go into dusts or warranty and replacement centres. A better idea about choosing in such conditions is provided in Selection of camera or camera phone.

4. Growling Stomach: An empty stomach would always lead you into traps. If happened to see a grocery section, you will definitely go in for more and more products which if you recheck once you have had your breakfast would seem absurd. Whether online or offline, an empty stomach is a devil’s work’SHOP’.

5. Girls: The basic technique of putting hardly dressed beauties in advertisement of any products whether it is a car, apparel, deo, condom, pen is simple- a Pied Piper Phenomenon. According to psychology experts the wet, shining, blush lips of the girl would actually remind you of a girl’s vulva in your what’s called subconscious or unconscious mind. And the admakers have learnt psychology better than anyone else. Their hands would move in a gentle way and feet and eyes point towards you. Hairy or muscled men would do the same to the fairer sex. So get yourself under control and remind these when some girl/boy look through your eyes.

Having gone this far, I know anyone would fall for these and it would happen time and again. Shopaholics needing some reason or the other for buying stuffs are the major aims. Others would go in for feedbacks and reviews which are seldom true. Dealing with them would need a altogether different blogpost and would soon be on your explorers.

Free stuffs out of sheer belief and experience are worthless. And never are any free stuffs gained ‘just free’. There would be a condition attached to it or any priced item coupled together. I too had this belief until Ubuntu came into being. It was first thing when things began to change and a realisation that free is worth came into being. So listing are two places from where you can get the invaluable free stuffs.

Ubuntu: As I have mentioned, everything began to change with Linux and Ubuntu. It was never expected that you would get a free CD or download an operating system at $0. And it was worth. The new linux with coupled programs are a better deal and I believe nobody would miss that. Fill in your address in the order form and you can get your Ubuntu CD at your doorsteps. Anyd I personally endorse donation for Ubuntu if they are to continue the act.

Alibaba: I just came across an ad of this site over Facebook and saw the plentiful number of free samples of various items available online. You just have to pretend you are a shopkeeper and pen down that you need some samples for further purchase by an email. Toys, mouses, laptop covers, sunglass samples are all available. Type in sample in the search box and explore.

Since this list is too short you are welcome to ad your own links to free stuffs over net. I do not mean any digital download links.

Online shopping is on the rise in India with Delhi, Mumbai on the forefront. But the IT capital Bangalore has shown a meagre rise of 6% in online shopping. But a new venture on show from Bangalore is Storrz.

Storrz is a new online shop in India offering everything from groceries to electronics. One may wonder how an Indian can buy perishables like vegetables and fruits online without confirming the quality. Storrz offers products from a wide variety of stores most of which have retail offline outlets too. The site also features a wishlist and online community for discussing and exhibiting your needs and ideas.

Groceries are only delivered to the Bangalore area. And if these items are not good while you recieve your order, you can have your items replaced. There is no instant delivery facility, but they will despatch your items on the next working day. Moreover there is a minimum checkout limit for your delivery to take place. You will get credits for shopping which are equivalent to the money in rupee for which you can have further shopping.

Palm and Sprint are on the way to market their Palm Pre successor, Palm Pixi. The popularity and usefulness of Palm Pre as well as the versatile WebOS software has made millions waiting for the release of the new model which is to happen a few weeks from now.

I had a single question in my mind. “Would replacing my Palm Pre with Pixi be an intelligent decision?”

After searching quite a few websites and reviews, I think I have found the answer. Pixi may be newer, but it is never the better. The release of Pixi is just to capitalize on the popularity and monopoly of Palm Pre in this sector. Wouldn’t you be tempted to buy the newer version of your favourite Palm Pre which had been the best mobile in your hand? But, unlikely Palm Pixi is a model released for those customers who have not had their Pre and would like to have a Palm mobile. And for those who haven’t had the Palm yet, it is the price that matters. In order to gain on the popularity of the previous product a ‘low cost’ gadget has been released by Palm and this is it.

And it is better for me to never upgrade it. Neither will I buy a new Pixi with the cost (about $99) carrying brunt on its features which include

•  No Wifi
• Less RAM
• Slow processor
• Small screen
• Lower camera

Wouldn’t it be safer to buy a new Palm Pre with better of all the features told above and at a price of $100. And you could get better and better if you add a few dollars extra. Don’t go by my words as this post would mean a premature review statement. Do some discussion in forums and make your decision for the 1-2 year long contract with a mobile phone.

Camera business is booming and the mobile phone is still over it. Phones and watches with cameras are not a thing you would see in the James Bond movie and it has become more than a reality now. Have you ever been in the acute confused state of mind whether to buy a mobile phone plus camera or a camera mobile alone? If the answer is yes, it seems you might have also passed through the same situation as mine- a shopper’s dilemma. At last I have decided the former would be better and there are quite a few reasons to support my conclusion. Seems this would apply to you too.

1. Expense: If you are looking for a camera, you would surely be hoping it is rather some pretty good one with megapixels more than at least 7. In the mobile you will be frustrated to find that one satisfying your demands would make your pockets 2-3 times lighter than when you buy a phone+camera with the same features. You would be spending money for what you never care for and will seem to be loss in the long run.

2. Complaints: A camera mobile phone would be unfit for taking a photograph when you mostly need it even if there are complaints with your screen, buttons, lens or the software which are very common. Won’t there be similar complaints for your camera? Yes, of course. But since it is made entirely for this purpose you would never find any unless there is a common batch complaint.

3. Settings: One who has compared both of these would have surely appreciated the pitfalls in performance of a mobile camera with varying lighting conditions especially the night mode which would seldom be clear. These are rarer over the other side. Light adjustment and flash are good only in phones which are made entirely for the purpose of scene capture.

4. Zoom: As you know optical zoom and digital zoom are pretty much different and the former is what you need to get a clear picture. Phone cameras with fixed lens do not offer the same, but may have good digital zoom which could trap you during your shopping spree. You would wonder how these are useful only while using any of these. But despise and despair afterwards is of no use.

5. Storage: While I use my mobile camera, it’s a rather common occurrence that when I am to capture some of the ‘most beautiful’ scenes, it comes to the screen that there is no space left behind as it would be loaded with my mp3s and videos. And since I have a dual device, I would always feel not to take my camera to my disappointment later. So the camera memories are entirely there for your use and you would never miss those unforgivable losses.

Though my hands are forcing me to write a 5 more reasons, these would be enough for the day. I have understood these facts based on my experiences and it is a great wastage of your money buying a phone with cameras over 5MP which would cost you much of your hard earned money and ultimately prove to be of no use at all. In this era, it would be a blunder not to take off one of those 10+MP cameras when you get that at a cost equalling to the cheapest mobiles.
