Ever Wonder WHY They Don't Want You To See This?

WorldStart's Tech Tips WorldStart

ws - 2014-01-31

They're Trying To Stop Us!

The big box stores are trying to block these deals from getting to you! They don't want you to see just how low the price can go on popular electronics (and everything else for that matter!) Scroll down so you can finally see what they've been trying to hide!




What Are Ya Tryin' To Do...

HEAT THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD?!?!

Those Leaks And Cracks Are Costin' You A FORTUNE!

And They're Gonna Make The Winter A MISERABLE Experience!

SEAL YOUR DOORS & WINDOWS TIGHT!

18 FEET of Waterproof, Self-Adhesive Awesomeness!

Just Seal Away Those Drafts Instantly!

One Worn Window Is All It Takes...

...for your heating to run WAY out of control.

One moment you're enjoying the cozy warm inside, the next you're opening your heating bill, and then you wake up in the hospital because that bill sent you into a FRENZY!

How did THAT happen? Oh, right, it was ALL THOSE CRACKS IN THE WINDOWS!

You're payin' WAY more than you need to just to avoid the cold!

And don't think turning down the heat is much better - now those cracks are letting in an awful draft that's got you shivering in your favorite chair!

Your home is supposed to be COMFORTABLE!

FIX IT FOR JUST $4.97!!!

This self-adhesive weather stripping is AMAZING!

Just take out the roll, find where the drafts are sneaking through, and cover 'em up!

This stuff is good enough to last the whole season and then some!

Let me tell ya, it sure beats trying to pay $500 to get new windows installed in the middle of December snow season!

You'd be shocked at how many little cracks and worn spots can pop up when you weren't paying attention!

This deal is better than striking oil after cleaning out a gold mine!

A) It's going to make your Winter SO much more cozy.

B) You won't have to spend oodles of cash on new windows right now!

C) Just WAIT until you see how much you save without all that hot air leaking out and cold air sneaking in!

Every home is different, but between your doors and windows, I can bet that these'll pay themselves off in just a week or two!

Again, that's $4.97 to seal up your doors & windows tight in a matter of minutes. And if you get two, or your cart is over $5, US shipping is FREE!

Don't let this deal sneak through the window cracks, Saturday the price goes up to $9.97




You Feel It On Your Legs, The Table...

ALL THAT HEAT!

Soon, It's Gonna BLOW! Say Bye Bye To Your Expensive Laptop!

COOLING PADS ARE A MUST!

Here's One That's Ultra Powerful...

BUT ULTRA QUIET!

Practically SILENT Fans Draw Heat Away!

Save Your Laptop From Irreparable Damage!

Logitech's Best Cooling Fan Yet!

Warning!

Excessive laptop use WILL result in sore wrists, stiff backs, and strained necks!

Despite bein' around FOREVER, nobody has bothered to fix their inheirant design flaw: they lack ANY sign of ergonomics!

I probably didn't have to even tell you, right?

You use your laptop for even just a short period of time to check e-mail or get some news updates and you're ALREADY feelin' the burn!

And speaking of "the burn" - have you ever actually sat your laptop... on your lap?

TALK ABOUT A "WARM RECEPTION!"

Within minutes the fans start working overtime (making all KINDS of scary noises) and you're left with legs more cooked than a Thanksgiving turkey!

Wouldn't ya know it, someone FINALLY came up with the all-in-one solution that makes your laptop what you've been wanting it to be ALL ALONG!

Introducing: The Logitech N120 Ultra Silent Cooling Pad!

I don't even know where to start!

This thing is a lifesaver for you AND your laptop!

First off, it's got the quietest fan I've EVER seen! This is gonna give your computer unrivaled airflow WITHOUT making a ton of noise like all those other coolers!

If you're wondering why that's important, think about this: your laptop is JAMMED with high speed, tightly-packed electronics. When they overheat, the best case scenario is that they shut down. Sometimes they can get so hot they melt or even catch fire!

And if your components start melting, you can be sure they're gonna ruin EVERYTHING they're touching.

That doesn't mean a $50 repair, that means a $500 new laptop because yours is DONE FOR!

You know your laptop gets hot, and the longer you use it, the more heat it'll build up. After a few years, the stock fans it has built in are NOT enough!

And when it comes to noise... do you REALLY want to trade loud laptop fans for loud cooling pad fans? NO!

You need a cooling pad that's actually helping you out! Not only is this going to bring your computer to cool temperatures, the nearly silent fan means you won't have to hear it working!

Almost every laptop cooler I've ever used has had ultra-noisy fans!

NOT THIS ONE! It's super quiet!

Speaking of heat and airflow, here's where amazing function #2 steps in...

THE ANGLED STAND!

FINALLY!

I can't tell you how long I've waited for a good solution to the physical pains of using a laptop! They may be portable but it doesn't matter where you use them - they ALWAYS end up causing stiff backs and sore necks!

With the special contour of this cooling pad, your laptop is placed in the perfect position for comfortable use! YEAH BABY!

After all, PC keyboards all have those little legs that hold them up, why doesn't your laptop?

THIS IS PERFECT!

And that's not all: raising your laptop gives even MORE airflow! It's the double-whammy of protection!

Make that a triple-whammy because the whole pad acts as a heat barrier between you and your laptop! So the inevitable heat it does generate won't transfer to your lap!

Talk about comfort!

IT'S GOING TO ADD YEARS TO YOUR LAPTOP!

The #1 reason laptops tend to die is damaged components from overheating, after all!

With this thing, not only are you going to make your laptop 10 times more comfortable to use... you're going to help it LAST 10 times longer too!

Who would've figured you could save yourself from having to buy a new $500 laptop with just a $29.97 stand & cooler? And when it comes to laptop coolers, you can't beat this one!

You're gonna love this, and you're gonna love your laptop even more now!

PS - $36.97 is what these go up to when the sale ends, don't let them slip through your fingers!




Want a Tablet Covered In Scrapes, Scratches, And Dents?

Then DON'T Get This Amazing Case!

But If You Want To Keep It In Tip-Top Shape...

QUICK! GET THIS BEFORE IT'S GONE!

Reversible Neoprene Sleeve Protects Your Tablet!

Any 7"-10" Tablet!

Compact Size Makes This The Most Travel Friendly Case EVER!

It Even Fits Kindles & Other eReaders! YES!

Keep It SAFE!

You try taking care of it - it was expensive, after all. But when you're using it for school, work or both, and you take it with you everywhere you go, it's bound to take some abuse.

So you live with it. What was once a fresh, new machine has turned into a beat up, dingy looking sad netbook or tablet. Sure it still works fine, but it sure would be nice if it didn't look like you found it on the side of the road!

We've got the PERFECT way to keep your 7" to 10.2" tablet or netbook safe - plus it's stylish, cheap, and amazing!

Neoprene is The BEST!

When it comes to sleeves, there's a few requirements when considering quality. It needs to be slim-lined, meaning your notebook should fit in snugly, and you should still be able to stow the whole thing in your book bag or briefcase.

It should provide AMPLE protection from scuffs, dings and minor shock.

It should be secure, stylish and lightweight.

This notebook sleeve has ALL of the above and then some!

Don't Let the Soft Material Fool You: Neoprene is the ONLY Way to go!

This sleeve is the PERFECT accessory. It's conveniently light weight, which makes it perfect for taking with you on the go.

Plus it looks good, and it's slim enough that, after you slide your notebook in, it'll easily fit in the same bag you carried it in before!

Lightweight & Durable - LOOKIN' GOOD!

Not only is neoprene lightweight - it's tough, durable and soft to the touch! Stop putting dings, nicks and unsightly blemishes on your nice tablet or netbook!

It also helps that this bag is discrete, slim and stylish!

It's Not Just Neoprene - It's CUSHIONED Neoprene!

Not only is your device protected from scratches, gouges and other blemishes - it's got a little shock protection to boot!

Now, we're not saying it's safe to outright drop your device just because it's in this protective sleeve - but isn't it nice to know that if you accidentally knock it against something, there's enough cushioning that it'll be just fine?

Easy to Use, And Totally Reversible!

Getting your device secured (or getting it back out) is just a slip away! YES!

And that's not all: it's completely reversible! Gray on one side, black on the other! A style for everyone, or mix it up to keep things fresh!

It's the small details that separate a neoprene case like this from the sea of other, inferior cases!

Total Protection - Tiny Price!

$12.97 with FREE US SHIPPING INCLUDED! These cost FAR more at the box stores - good thing you know where to get yours!

http://store.worldstart.com/product/9445

PS - Don't delay! The price goes up to $18.97 Saturday




Wait A Minute...

YOU'RE STILL BUYING BATTERIES?!

You HAVE To Get Some Good Rechargeable Batteries!

They Function The Same But Cost WAY Less!

Check Out This Awesome Combo Package!

A Fantastic 4-Slot 'AA' Battery Recharger...

With 4 'AA' Rechargeable Batteries!!!

We're Talking About Saving THOUSANDS Of Dollars!

Easier To Use AND It Saves You Cash?

This is a no-brainer if I've ever seen one!

THINK ABOUT THIS: The average person spends at least $80 a year on batteries. Bigger families, more batteries.

You'd probably get sick if you had a running tally of how much money went into batteries that you just threw away when they were empty.

Yeah. It's a lot.

ALL YOU NEED IS ONE GOOD SET OF RECHARGEABLE ONES!

No more wasted trips to the store to buy new batteries every month!

No more wasting big bucks on batteries either!!

Best of all - You'll NEVER have another night where the remote dies and YOU have no batteries to replace it!

Yup, we've all been there - that awful moment when you JUST got comfortable... you go to change the channel and... nothing!

Ahhhhh!!!

You've got a MILLION things in your home that use batteries. Why buy disposable ones over and over and over and over and over?

Rechargeable batteries work just fine, and work in EVERYTHING ya got!

"Incredibly Versatile Life-Saver" is what comes to mind when I think of all the ways this baby can be used!

Let's Do The Math!

Your average store is charging about $5.00 for a 4 pack of AA batteries.

It's estimated that just ONE rechargeable battery lasts longer than 800 AA disposable batteries!!

Now that's just crazy!

This could save you an estimated $3,884 in batteries alone!!

Now THAT'S some serious cash savings!! Don't believe me? OK, just grab a calculator and do the math!!

This little guy pays for itself in no time!

You gotta grab your self one of these bad boys - your battery woes will be gone forever!!

It's so lightweight and portable that it's easy to pack in your camera bag, laptop case, suit case, or backpack!

Plus - this won't set you back 40 or 50 Bucks like some other outlet battery chargers!! Just check out what these are going for elsewhere, by the time tax and shipping and handling was added - it's over $40!! Yikes!!

Guess What? TODAY, THEY'RE CHEAPER THAN THEY'VE EVER BEEN! We're talking just $16.97 and US shipping is FREE!

Just think - you're gonna be saving nearly $4,000 with this little guy alone!! This offer is only good for an EXTREMELY limited time!

http://store.worldstart.com/product/9446

PS - Save a TON of money and never worry about dead batteries - EVER AGAIN!! This is a limited quantity and this ridiculous price increases to $21.97 soon, so run to the site today!!




These Earbuds'll Have People Talking ALL DAY!

But That Won't Distract You...

BECAUSE OF THE NEW NOISE REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY!

Your Ears Are Gonna LOVE These!

Amazing Sound, Amazing Comfort, AMAZING PRICE!

These Are The Earbuds You've Been Waiting For!

Sends Every Other Set Of Earbuds Cryin' For Their Mommas!

Only $2.97 - LIMITED TIME ONLY!

Audio Quality with Comfort to Match

Remember the last pair of earbuds you used? They were probably uncomfortable, the audio quality was laughable, and they kept FALLING OUT!

You need an upgrad to earbuds that KNOW what they're doing!

That's why I was so excited found the PERFECT set! We've just come across an incredible pair that sound GREAT (Yep...they're STEREO with NOISE REDUCTION) and equally as important.... they're VERY comfortable.

These really are simply a great set of earphones that you can take where ever you go! Or even at home! If you're a late-night PC user or have an audio-jack in your TV... you can keep the noise down while fully enjoying your music, show, or software!!

And the cord is long enough (4 foot) without being too long so as to get tangled and in the way (another small point but something I've noticed as a problem with other earphones I've tried!)

And in case you were wonderin', this is the common plug (3.5 mm) that fits into the front of your computer and most other audio devices, like portable radios, laptops, CD / DVD / MP3 players, iPods etc.

Do NOT let the low price fool you on this. We just happened to get a great deal on these so we're passin' along the savings! Believe it or not, today these are just $2.97 and shipping in the US is FREE on all orders over $5.00!

http://store.worldstart.com/product/8475

PS - At this price, might want to consider picking up 2 or three of these so you have one at your computer, one in the car and one you can stick in your pocket or purse for walks or bike rides!

Warning - This price is set to increase soon! Don't pay $9.97 for 'em later - grab 'em today!
