Oh hey! Check out our sweet YouTube channel!
http://www.youtube.com/user/shopHDE We took feedback from our customers and our own big ideas, and we are creating instructional videos to help with common questions about our products, how to install or use them, and also some extra goodies. by: Shop HDE
HDE would like to solicit your help to make 'hella' the next giant-number prefix, specifically, it would be '1' followed by 27 zeroes, or 1027. As in, that's a hellabyte hard drive. Of course, we're a few years away from hard drives that big. To put it in perspective, here's how it would look:
The Wikipedia article on Yottabytes says "the combined space of all the computer hard drives in the world does not amount to even one zettabyte", so we've got some time here to jump on hellabytes. You see, there's a petition right now to designate 'hella' as the official prefix for what comes after yotta. Who's being petitioned? Only The International System of Units. Didn't know there was such a thing before today. Around here we frequently measure numbers this large. Join the Hella Petition on Facebook by: Shop HDE

You should not need to download additional software for the use of this device, but if your package had a missing or damaged disk, the software links above contain the same files as the disks included in the packages. Instructions: 1. Insert the Bluetooth Dongle into the USB Port of your computer. 2. Wait a moment for your computer to detect the hardware and download the necessary drivers. Once complete, you should see an icon in the right hand side of your taskbar with the bluetooth icon. 3. At this point, your Bluetooth Dongle is ready to use. Make sure that the device you wish to pair using your Bluetooth Dongle is set to discoverable status, which essentially means that you have turned on Bluetooth for that device. 4. Double-click on the icon. 5. Once your device is ready, click the "Add..." button. 6. On the next screen, check the box that says "My device is set up..." and then click "Next": 7. It will take a few moments to search for the device. Once found, highlight and click "Next". 8. You will then be shown a list of options for a passkey. You may choose any of these. The passkey is not a specific set of numbers already determined by either of your devices unless explicitly stated. After clicking on one of the options and hitting next, you will be prompted to enter the number code into your other device. 9. Once you enter the number properly, Bluetooth will finish installing your device. Click "Finish" and your computer and your connected device are now paired and you can send and receive files between the two. Sending Files 1. If you want to send a file from your computer to your device, right-click on the Bluetooth icon. You will need to highlight the device that you are sending a file to. The use of a passkey for this process is optional. 2. Click "Browse" to find the file you wish to send. 3. You will receive a notification on your device letting you know that a file wants to be sent to it. Accept the file. Troubleshooting Q. Why isn't Bluetooth finding my device? A. Make sure that your device is on and put into "Discovery Mode," which allows it to be seen by other devices. Q. Why do I get an error message when I try to send a file? A. The file you are sending may be too big to be held by your device. Check with the instruction manual for the device or your service provider, where applicable, to find out the size capacity and limitations for data. by: Shop HDE
We braved the onslaught of winter to come in to work today, because we love you.
Actually, the roads are fine. Despite the snowstorm forecasts, we expect no delays in getting any orders out this week, although we can't say whether delivery will be affected: that's up to the postal service. Opening scene of "Winter's Revenge", a new production opening soon by HDE.

How can we sell HDMI switches, memory card readers, camera cases, webcams, and everything else so cheaply? The answer is in the packaging. Really. The difference between our camera case and an official Sony, Kodak, Panasonic, etc. case is that ours doesn't have the brand name emblem on it. That little emblem is why you pay two or three times as much for the "other" camera case. Same item. Okay, so you're already familiar with the price of name-brand items versus the price of generic items. What's with all the other stuff? The lack of retail packaging. We can buy (and sell to you) at a discount because our manufacturers don't have to add the extra step of packaging our items for retail sale in a big-box store. In a brick-n-mortar retail environment, you can browse all kinds of packages and so they compete for your attention visually. In an internet retail environment, the buyer frequently knows what he or she is searching for, and seeks out the best deal. And of course, you can almost always get a better deal online because our products don't have to spend extra money to grab your attention from a store shelf. Make sense? Many of our items come securely packaged in just what they require for shipping. They lack the extra blister packages, cardboard inserts, and such. This not only saves money, it saves other economic resources and is better for the environment, too. by: Shop HDE |
