TechBargains.com, a leading deal aggregation website for electronic products, breaks down three simple tech-related ways to save on monthly energy bills while being mindful of Mother Nature in time for Earth Day, Sunday, April 22.

Adjust Power Guzzling TV Settings

Televisions, particularly Plasma TVs, consume large amounts of power. Most televisions are set to wow potential buyers in-store with high brightness and contrast levels. Be sure to avoid Dynamic or Vivid modes and turn TVs to Movie, Cinema or Standard mode to use less energy.

Sell, Recycle or Donate Old Gadgets

With the regular release of next generation mobile phones, MP3 players, laptops, and cameras most people accumulate gadgets they no longer need. One option is to sell the gadgets on sites like Craigslist.org or Gazelle.com. Best Buy also has a trade-in program online and in-store where you can hand over old gaming systems, televisions, musical instruments in exchange for a gift card.

Another option is to donate old mobile devices to Cell Phones For Soldiers, a non-profit organization that sells, refurbishes or recycles mobile phones and in turn provides pre-paid calling cards to military men and women overseas.

Install Energy Saving Devices That Pay for Themselves

Smart power strips and intelligent surge protectors can be purchased for under $ 30. These devices reduce the amount of standby energy consumed by televisions, computers and other consumer electronics that are plugged in 24/7. To monitor the amount of power each device consumes, invest in a Kill-a-Watt electricity monitor for under $ 20. The device determines how much power consumer electronics use and some premium models even calculate what an appliance costs to run.

These simple energy saving tips can not only put money back in your pocket, but they help the environment, said Yung Trang, President and Editor in Chief of TechBargains.com. As consumers devote more of their time and money to electronics, energy consumption becomes more of an issue. By taking a few minutes we can each do our part to painlessly and profitably start our own green initiatives at home.

Till a couple of years back, all of us were limited to making and receiving calls only from the fixed phones. Wireless handsets were also there, but their range was just within a hundred meters or so from the base station. We had no other option apart from getting down somewhere and initiating our call from there if we wanted to make any emergency calls while on the move. The arrival of the mobile phones has changed all that. Phone calls can now be made from anywhere unless and until there is a signal jammer in the locality.

The first cellular phones had limited capabilities and they just used to have a single beeping tone to notify an incoming call. Sets started shipping with a number of ringtones and one could set any one of them as the default as things changed again. The user could download and store any tone of their choice and use the same as their ringtone due to the capabilities of the next generation mobile phones. Really personalizing their mobiles with tones of their liking was now possible.

During the early stages of such tones, only single tones were supported by mobiles that used the beeping tone in different pitches to play a song. This soon gave way to polyphonic tones which could reproduce the sounds of various musical instruments all together. Technology was not going to lie still and once again the mobile world was invaded with the advent of MP3 ringtones.

A huge revolution in the communication world was brought by this. Thanks to technology one can now download mobile phone ringtones of their choice and use the same on their cellular sets. There are many online sites that provide users with a wide selection of MP3 ringtones. There are many sites that also offer an opportunity to download free ringtones, though quite a number of sites charge a certain fee for downloading these musical tones.

These sites are properly organized and the tones are arranged in alphabetic order. Select a tone of your choice and input your mobile number in the form provided and the tone will be downloaded. Select it and set it as your default. Just read the instructions provided on such websites to ensure that there are no hidden costs involved while downloading your favorite tone from any such site.
