Quite a player, worth it

...Sony NWZ-X1050 may not have the sophisticated, posh and trendy looks of iPod touch but it definitely looks smart and scintillating in its black granite texture on either sides giving it a rough features which makes it very secure in your hands.

Pink Samsung S1050

Advantages: Picture & Video Quality
Disadvantages: Needs quality batteries

...When it came to buying a new Digital Camera I didn't know where to start. I knew I needed more pixels, more features and something more attractive (yes I sadly take appearance into account). I was shopping with my sister in Argos and had a brief glance at the camera section. I had been pondering which camera to buy for quite some time prior to this. So it was by chance that I stumbled upon the Samsung S1050 that day. I admit it was the Pink colour that intially grabbed my attention, however the features listed seemed perfect for what I needed out of a digital camera. 10 Megapixels 5 x Optical Zoom 5 x Digital Zoom 2.5" TFT Screen Auto, Auto and Red-eye reduction Variuous Flash Settings Maximum Image Size 3648 x 2736 Pixels 800 x 600, 30fps Movies MMC Memory Card with 45MB Internal memory So I hummed and harred...

Brother HL 1050

Advantages: Quick, good quality printouts
Disadvantages: Doesn't seem to last very long

...The Brother HL-1050 is a fairly good laser printer. I've had mine for just over two years and in that time I've had no problems with it until recently. It can be connected via either parallel port or USB, comes with 4MB of memory and has a claimed print speed of 10ppm with a maximum resolution of 1200x600dpi. It is fast and handles text superbly and graphics adaquately. Toner cartridges are twenty five quid a throw and last a couple of thousand pages (I think) depending on print density and stuff like that. The printer driver offers a useful little window that opens and tells you the status of the printer (if it's asleep, if the toner is low, if the paper is jammed, etc). It is a quick printer, but it's not that small with a footprint of roughly 14.5" x 14.5" and a height of approximately 11". It's not quiet either. The paper...

Casio EXILIM "ZOOM!" EX-Z1050

Advantages: Inane amount of pixels, Easy to handle size, 2.6" display
Disadvantages: Graning in darker areas, No memory card supplied

...hours. Tech Specs: · 10.3 million pixels · 3648 x 2736 maximum resolution · 640 x 480 @ 25fps · JPEG file format · 114,960 pixels 2.6" LCD screen · Numerous other astounding features Conclusion: Above all what is most sought after in a digital camera is value for money as the price of this kind of equipment can deprecate so quickly, here you can purchase technology at a modest price which is not in any imminent danger of being outclassed at all for a fairly modest price, with it come the endless features, which can just be worth it for that little bit extra investment, and one that can be trusted from a reputable brand name. A definite bargain and one that will still be considered a bargain in the coming year....

Logitech X-230

Advantages: clear sound, very low noise
Disadvantages: remote control would be nice

...An easy, plug'n'play sound system in cute-looking body with great performance. I was looking for new speakers for my laptop but then I decided I wanted more than just speakers and started searching through the lists of 2.1 and 5.1 sound systems. Originally I was about to buy a 5.1, but I realized such a set wouldn't be smart for a laptop which I wanna carry around and have it now on my desk, then on my bed, then on the floor etc, for which a 5.1 felt too much of cables and mass. I'm happy about my decision since the Logitech X-230 has proven to live up to the expectations based on what they promise, the sound is clear, full and I find it great for both music, games or movies. The subwoofer bass is strong and full, perfectly satisfying for almost cinema movie experience. You can hear hardly any noise and the volume range is wide enough...

American History X

Advantages: Edward Norton; Dialogue; Tension; Story
Disadvantages: Propaganda

..."We're so hung up on this notion that we have some obligation to help the struggling black man, you know. Cut him some slack until he can overcome these historical injustices. It's crap. I mean, Christ, Lincoln freed the slaves, like, what? 130 years ago. How long does it take to get your act together?" --Derek Vinyard Edward Norton is one of those rare contemporary actors that you know whatever movie he's going to be in it's going to be good. American History X is by no means an exception, with Norton phenomenal in his performance as an ex-neo-Nazi attempting to prevent his brother from pursuing the path he did. Edward Furlong (Terminator 2) plays the young skinhead Danny Vinyard, criticised by his teacher (Avery Brooks) for turning in a paper on Mein Kampf. The black teacher then instructs Danny to create a report...

X-530

Advantages: Price/quality, look
Disadvantages: sensitive to interference

..., Most people aim at good quality sound in PC's. Often good sound card is not enough and better speakers must be bought. That means spending more money for good stuff, or less for cheaper brand. Not necessarily when considering Logitech X-530 5.1 speakers. First some esential tech data: Total pow RMS : 70 Watts Total peak pow: 140 watts Cable lenght: center:160cm front: 140cm/180cm rear: 450cm Installation is as simple as possible and described weel in manual. Very attractive design gives it professional look. Whole set is assembled with high quality components both inside and outside. Unfortunately there are too many cables and subwoofer looks like attatched to big spiderweb, however are quite thick and strong. Center, front, and subwoofer speakers cables are quite short; even for desktop use lenght is...

X-540

Advantages: Great price,great sound quality, matrix button gives great 5.1
Disadvantages: Lots of wires!, Remote on quite a short wire

...Logitech X-540 Surround Sound. I ordered ths off amazon for 49.99, it was sent by courier (Home Delivery Network Ltd) and arrived within 2 days of ordering. Very easy to set up and great price for full 5.1 surround sound. Took 10 mins to hook it up to my Xbox and is amazing while playing Gears of war :D... First thing you notice is the weight contained in the small box the Speakers come in,its about 1ft square and contains 1 Bass and 5 satellite speakers, each individually packed in plastic bags. The bass unit is quite bulky and for optimal quality should be placed on the floor, but if you dont have much room, (like me) then you can put it it behind your TV or something... The base is the main part of the speaker set up, on the back are about 8 jacks for you to plug in the seperate speakers and inputs. Each is colour coded so its...

American History X

Advantages: Great plot, superb characters and a theme that needed to be discussed
Disadvantages: violent

...Well my next review again is another film that was made during the 90's. Gosh they really don't make films like they use to. I must admit ive only seen this film twice once in high school and once with my friends, and both times the film just gives you a sense of shock. The film im going to review is the 1998, critically acclaimed "American History X", directed by Tony Kaye and Edward Norton and Edward Furlong. Ok two quick recaps here, Edward Furlong is the guy who was John Connor in Terminator 2, however just a wee bit more older in this film, but he still looks the same. We then have Edward Norton; you might recognise him from his earlier work in Primal Fear and The People vs. Larry Flynt I must admit this review will talk about some cruel and in some cases sadistic scenes, and for that I apologise if it causes any offence...
