Because its external dual 3dBi antennas can be rotated in different directions to fit various environments, the Adapter can achieve speeds of up to 300Mbps—significantly better than your laptop’s built-in wireless card and adapters with internal antennas.

The next time you change your oil you are probably going to do what most US motorists do, you will discard perfectly good motor oil. In these cases, "change" is not good, for you or the planet.

The common belief that oil must be changed every 3-5,000 miles is half a century old, and dates back to the 1960's. Yes, the oil advice most of us adhere to is as old as the Beatles' first visit to America. Music, cars and oil have changed dramatically since those days. Some new vehicles equipped with oil life monitoring systems are routinely going 10,000 to 20,000 miles or more before recommending an oil change. But in spite of dramatic technical advances in oil and engines, advice on oil changing remains the same old advice: Discard it, on the chance it is bad.

The 12 Best Left-Handed Gifts:

Lefties are Great People....to give presents to. Everyday tools and utensils make very thoughtful gifts when they are configured for left-handed use. A handsome pair of left-handed scissors or an elegant pen designed for lefties, make a more personal and meaningful gift than the same item does for a right-hander, because righties do not have difficulty using most of the pens and scissors in the world.

Lefties have very specific functional problems with the right-handed world they inhabit. Scissors don't work well, especially for cutting complex shapes. Pens and pencils smear, and the writer can't see what is being written because their left hand. Covers it up. Writing often hurts their hand after a while because pens and pencils have to be gripped tightly to push the point from left to right. Notebooks and portfolios open backwards, and the spiral coils on spiral notebooks cut into the left hand while writing.
