I live in what’s called a “fringe coverage area” for AT&T. I get one or two bars on my iPhone 4 when I’m home. Calls sometimes drop, and callers often complain about the connection quality. Outside of moving or hoping AT&T builds a cell tower nearby, the best option to improve call quality is AT&T’s 3G MicroCell. Made by Cisco, the 3G MicroCell is a “femtocell”--a cellular base station that covers up to 5,000 square feet, according to AT&T. The device connects to your home broadband network, and it can tremendously improve cell phone reception in your house.

Sometimes, a petite little thing of a bag just doesn’t get the job done. For instance, photographers and videographers are often burdened with the strenuous chore of hauling around lots of bulky gear. Most backpacks and laptop bags are unable to hold the mountain of cables, memory cards, cameras, compact discs, manuals, small children, pets, snacks, and other sorted equipment it takes to get the job done. Fortunately, Booq laptop bags provide the kind of support you needs to comfortably transport anything without breaking your back.
