Welcome To E-Catcity.Com, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia

I am thinking of doing Electronics Engineering from IETE. I am 32 yrs BSc graduate presently working as a pharma salesman.
Is Electronics Engg from IETE a good & easy option compared to doing Mechanical or Civil from AMIE?
In this context which is the best branch of engineering in present scenario?

Both are equal & has lots of value in engineering sector jobs.
Electronics is one of the best fields after core branches.
Best of Luck

I mean they more interested in doing other things like entertainment,horoscope,page 3 etc.
the newsreaders are more interested in good looking than in subject.

They might be if rupert Murdoch doesn’t buy them.

I need an electronic drum kit for my death metal band (acoustic one was damaged and I live in an apartment now) and I need a kit that I can afford that won’t fall apart and doesn’t suck.
here’s sort of what I’m looking for:
-mesh heads (doesn’t have to but it would be nice)
-rim on the snare (I do gravity blasts, gotta have a rim)
-duel zone snare
-cymbal choke (again, doesn’t have to but it would be nice)
-velocity sensitive pads
-good cymbal sounds (china,splash,ride,crash,hi-hat suitable for death metal)
-sturdy bass drum (I play death metal, the bass drum may recieve punishment)
-y-split compatible (I might want to add more pads later)
-quiet enough to play in an apartment (gotta practice)
-durrability (I don’t want to replace anything, I’m close to poor)
-reliability (I’ll be taking it to live shows)

so yeah if you know of or can find an electronic kit that fits most of my specifications under 600 I will love you forever

See casio and yamaha websites.

I am travelling to SF. Is there a place where I can get good quality electronics like ipod, iphone and camcorder for cheap?

There are Best Buy stores in the City, one south of market and one at Geary and Masonic.

There is also a huge Apple Store at Stockton and Ellis just a couple of blocks from Union Square.

I am looking for a touch screen tablet that i can write on with a stylus to take notes inclass instead of on paper. Save paper and save the trees. The iPad is $500 and 58 days away. I am looking for something cheaper than that but is also good. If i should get the iPad, the pogo sketch is going to be my stylus, ut i would not want to spend that much for that little.

i try to write the answers your problem in my blog http://www.mystructuredsettlement.co.cc you can see any problem in my blog.

Now I know this store I am looking for may not actually exist anymore. Radio Shack used to be good but now they have hardly anything and know even less if you have a question about something. Are there any stores around that still stock a good selection of electronic components?

maybe in the 70’s Radio sHack may have been good…. VERY expensive floor sweepings when it came to their carded parts.

There are several excellent parts houses;

www.mouser.com

surplus houses

www.meci.com
www.mpja.com

I am thinking about getting an electronic reader. What is a good cheap one or a really good one that is more expensive but really good. A thing that is like an e-reader, or kindle. Thanks (:

I’ve done some comparison between the sony e-reader and the Kindle here last week, guess you’ll be interested:

For larger and more expensive one, just go for the Kindle DX. If you can afford the money, it is worth to get the Kindle DX, as you can see here:

Hope it helps

Hey guys,

for a project i need to but stuff like a D-Sub connector hood (printer cable wire), various resisters and switching diodes, etc. Do any of you know of any good online electronic stores that sells this type of stuff? for example, I know radio shack does but they charge way to much.

There are many online electronic retailers to choose from. Here are a few links to sources of small parts I have dealt with. Thery are all reputable companies and service has been good in my experience.

Some sell similar items at widely varying prices, so shop around for the best prices, but usually the cheaper stuff is of lower quality. You usually get what you pay for. Some have recently reduced prices due to slow sales in this recession.

are their any Swedish online websites to shop for electronic goods? such as laptops or ps3’s etc

http://www.komplett.se

That’s where I usually buy electronic goods.
The site is in Swedish, so if you don’t speak Swedish you may need some help.
You can email them in English.

I’m looking for cheap products to use myself and to sell on eBay!

There’s quite a few places if you do a standard search but I guess it depends on what you are after.

For xbox, ps3, wii, laptops – gear like that you could try some of the resources over at …
