Gifts for Mother's Day, mothers only geeks

Maybe in your country on Mother's Day already passed or may not have arrived yet this year, but in large amounts of countries Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May, ie tomorrow. Here I will recommend a few things that you can give to your mother, but beware, they are gifts for geeks or that mothers understand the technology today. Come up with a list:
- A smartphone : obvious? Well, actually yes. A smartphone is an ideal gift for any loving mother of devices and gadgets. No need to explain the functions of a mobile phone because everyone knows them. The only thing needed is to choose the model that is most appropriate. To do this you have to consider two things: 1) your pocket and 2) the platform that most would like your mother. If you already have (or had) a smartphone that runs with certain platform, we suggest you present him one using the same operating system. Obviously if you have a little iPhone 5 will present him a similar or 4S. Think carefully on your choice.
- Tablets : for sure we all love tablets. Fortunately this year we have more variety than last year. Remember that there are already several Android tablets of 7 inches and up for sale. The iPad also has its Mini version and the traditional version of 10 inches. If you opt for one that runs on Windows, for now you will not find anything about 7 or 8 inches, you have to find a bigger one.
- A vacuum cleaner robotics : a great choice is the iRobot Roomba 630. It is a modern vacuum cleaner with many functions, including going to the charging station when battery is running low. If I remember correctly, this particular model was launched last year, so it's very modern. If you plan to give her one of these, be prepared to give a blow to your wallet.
- A USB: USB flash drives, also known as "pendrive", are having a bit of fashion due to the use of the cloud, but having never been anything wrong, right? By the way, is that the design goes hand in hand with the occasion, that is, other than the typical all-white, flat memory without scenery.
- EBook Reader: ebook reader is a great gift if our mother enjoys reading. In addition, there is a huge collection of books in digital format available.
- A watch: there are many watches modern with interesting features, so one of these will not all bad. A good choice can be the Sony SmartWatch. The downside of this small, it's available only in white and black.
If you think of any other medium geek gift we can add to the list, do not forget to leave a comment.

Apple sales are falling

Apple is going through a bad time? It is possible that the lack of creativity present after Jobs' absence is causing the block not doing as well as ever in the market. Apple sales have started to decline lately, and we do not refer only to sales of its smartphone , the iPhone, but there are also low-level notebooks and tablets even.
308 million devices sold globally between January and March. Of that total, 60% were Android devices running. This leaves Apple, or rather, to iOS, second, even though the mobile platform is the dominant sector of the tablets, which means that smartphone sales are increasing by leaps and bounds. Windows sales were not a big deal, and we're talking both at mobile and tablets and laptops.
We're not sure if Android is improving or Apple is losing much quality, but the fact is that Apple should get to work hard if you want to improve the picture somewhat.
