Confidential cover up

Advantages: Keeps private information private
Disadvantages: it can look like your sitting infront of a switched off pc!

...In our world now data protection is oh so important and we have to ensure that if we are handling peoples personal information we have to handle it in a way that it is kept secure and not leaked to anyone else. This is vital especially in my line of work as I deal with children's information. As a precaution we have all been issued with these screen filters which are totally different and unique from the normal anti glare filters that you can buy to cover your screen to prevent glare. This filter fits over any pc monitor, but are mostly suited for 16? - 18? monitors. It clips over the top edge of your monitor and stays inplace by stick on velcro. When you are sitting directly in front of the pc you are able to clearly see the screen and what is being displayed on the screen. However people who walk past you or stand diagonally...

Review of 3M Privacy Computer Filter PF400 XL - display screen filter - 16" - 19" (CRT) / 17" -18" (LCD)

Filtered to perfection

Advantages: Many advantages, see review.
Disadvantages: None.

...The professional photographers like myself or the high end amateur photographers will probably all have used or tried using some sort of lens filter or another. Lens filters are designed to screw on to the end of lenses (mainly DSLR) to create different effects, you get many types of filters from the simple UV like this one through to polarizer's and star filters. This Hama UV filter is mainly used for cutting out the harmful effects that can be had both on your lens and on your images by UV light but they are handy also for the simple task of protecting your lens glass and that is why I for one have one on all my lenses at all times. If you catch the glass of your lens and scratch it or god forbid break it you are looking at a huge outlay for a new one where as if you have a simple UV filter, it takes the knocks and can be...

Review of Hama UV Filter UV-390 (O-Haze) Filter

Keep It Secret, Safe & Confidential

Advantages: Reduced viewing angle, Protection & Privacy, Anti-glare, Visual filter, Simple to attach
Disadvantages: None

...The Kensington Shield TFT Privacy Filter is designed for display privacy. I had this for my old 15" TFT monitor and it worked pretty well. I bought it at the time for the anti-glare feature and easy use as I didn't want to glue or use any type of Velcro pads on my monitor. So this was ideal for those reasons. This screen filter is part of Kensington's ergonomic product range. The filter is ideal for privacy protection as it reduces viewing angle to only 75 degrees, so other people around you can't see your screen 37.5 degrees both sides, left and right. This is also a visual filter making it more comfortable for you to look at your screen for long hours at a time. The built in anti-glare feature reduces glare by up to a huge 99%. Lastly it can protect your screen from sticky fingers and printer. So you simply just wipe the shield...

Filters Ahead Of The Rest

Advantages: Great Tasting Water
Disadvantages: Wants You To Change Filters

...I have had this water filter for about a year now and brought it after I dropped exactly the same model and cracked the jug. I think so much of this product I went and brought a new one without hesitation and have recommended as well as buying it as a present for many friends. In case you haven?t heard of a water filter it comprises of a plastic jug with another ?plastic thingy? that sits in the top with a hole in the bottom into which you screw in your filter. Your tap water (yuk) goes into the top ?plastic thingy? and filters through and then you pour it out and enjoy your water (yum). I missed out a plastic lid that goes on top just to keep water from sploshing out when you pour of dust getting in. I keep mine in the door of the fridge because cold refrigerated water tastes so much better than tap water. Set into the top...

Review of Tefal Quick Cup Claris Filter Cartridge

filtered water - an unrealistic dream?

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: hasn't improved the taste of our tea

...We live in a hard water area in Bristol and are always having problems with limescale - we've been through many kettles in the last few years. My husband and I are used to the taste of the water now, so we don't really notice it, but when we have visitors they often complain about the drinks we serve. So, we were thrilled when my parents bought us a Brita Elemaris Cool Water Filter jug for Christmas along with a refill pack of 3 MAXTRA cartridges. Apparently they were fed up of the strange taste of our tea! Brita make the following claims - "You will enjoy cleaner, clearer, great tasting water" and "protects your domestic appliances against limescale build up". "The BRITA MAXTRA cartridge reduces substances like chlorine, limescale..., aluminium, heavy metals... and certain pesticides as well as organic impurities." Excellent...

Review of Brita Elemaris Cool Water Filter

Privacy and the Press

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Everything

...I used to have quite relaxed views regarding press intrusion and privacy issues. Celebrities complain about harassment by the paparazzi, the press searching through their rubbish, staking out their homes and similar invasions of their lives. I suppose my overall feeling was unsympathetic in an "if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen" way. Similarly I have had mixed feelings about the privacy of the individual. I am against identity cards but also feel that I have nothing to hide so why should I worry too much if people have access to certain types of information about me? Maybe I was all too naive in this respect. This all changed today! This morning my daughter rushed in to tell me that a certain young lady was in the news. I will just call her Miss L but anybody who saw any news reports today will be able to identify...

Brita Elemaris water filter jug

Advantages: The water tastes better than previous filters, it's much easier to fill and use.
Disadvantages: Still takes quite a bit of cleaning but again, a step up from the original jugs

...Having owned and used a Brita water filter on a regular basis for several years, I couldn't resist purchasing the Elemaris when I saw it on offer at a bargain price on the shelves of our local Asda. My original filter jug was full of water, so the first thing I did on unpacking the Elemaris was to pour a glassful from each jug to compare them. I was pleased to observe that the water in the glass poured from the Elemaris appeared cleaner and much clearer than that from my old faithful. On tasting both samples, the one poured from the Elemaris won hands down - it tasted much fresher than the drink from the other jug. Our tapwater has quite a nasty taste when unfiltered but the Elemaris removed this. The Elemaris is much easier to fill than the earlier models and the filter does it's work much more quickly - my first jug took...

Review of Brita Elemaris Cool Water Filter

3M 1.44Mb Floppy Disks. Yes thats another one.

Advantages: Small and compact
Disadvantages: Breakable and horrible colour

...Hiya sorry about the boredom about these floppy disks first the imation 3 1/2" floppu disks and now its those pesky 3M's. Right i am sorry to say that my other batch of imation floppy disks have run out. So i phoned my supplier and i was informed by the lovely lady called charlie that they had run out. So she did suggest i try the new 3M pack of 10 floppies. Right onto the product in hand: These are the worst floppy disks i have ever purchased, the colour black is the worst ever but i must agree that floppies are the same as any other floppies. These floppy disks are not pre-formatted so you would need to format them yourself which is really time consuming, especially if you have a really important report due in the next day for the bank as i did. These floppies are not as good as the Imation series as all of these disks are...
