Be inspired by the Acer Aspire One A110

Advantages: Price, size, speed
Disadvantages: None so far

...--Background-- My wife has always moaned that she could never get onto the family PC as it was always being used by either my kids or myself. After doing a bit of research, she convinced me to buy her the Acer Aspire One netbook which she would use for web browsing and writing simple documents. I was a bit sceptical of the device, after all, to me it was just a cheap laptop. But, alas, she won and off I went to Currys armed with my credit card to begrudingly buy her one. --In the box-- The box in which the Aspire comes is very small. You'd be able to fit it under your arm and carry it no problem. As well as the netbook, there was a mains battery charger, a user manual and a recovery cd which I thought was strange considering there isnt a cd driver in the netbook!! --Initial Setup-- I must admit I found this impressive...

Review of Acer Aspire ONE A110-AB

Being at one with the game

Advantages: Great design very easy to use
Disadvantages: Keep on loosing it beacuse it doesnt need a cable

...rumble effects on this controller. Sony initally said it would intefer with the movement sensative nature of the pad, however the new Dual Shock 3 conroller will have the rumble feature. This controller is much lighter than the previous PS2 controller, great as far as i'm concerned. The L2 and R2 buttons have been slightly modified to make them easier to use. Motion sensative. This is not in the same league as the Wii, however it is very effictive in games like tony Hawk's Project 8 for use when balancing, and the sensativity can be altered. The Center button allows you to control the PS3. You can turn it on and off, quit a game and see the charge of the controller, all very useful Overall The basic design is great, it fits into your hands perfectly, all the button are easy to reach and after hours of playing i have had no...

Review of Sony Official PS3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller

Should be titled 'Just one Sitting'!

Advantages: Great plot
Disadvantages: None

...I am currently working my way through all the books I can get my hands on by Harlan Coben. Since borrowing one of his books from my daughter, I have been hooked. I love it when I find a new author to like! 'Just One Look' is the most recent one I have read. In fact I took it on holiday with me last month and read it in two days! I would have read it in a day if I had been at home, as I found it hard to put down. The only problem was, by reading it so quickly I had nothing left to read for the rest of my holiday! The story centres around Grace Lawson. Happily married to husband Jack, and mum to their two children, her contented world is thrown into turmoil when she collects a set of photographs she had taken to be developed. Ignoring friends teasing that she should 'get with it' and enjoy the digital age, by using a digital camera...

Review of Just One Look - Harlan Coben

There can only be One, Oops wrong film

Advantages: Jet Li doing Kung Fu...
Disadvantages: ...spoilt by Special FX, acting, lack of a decent plot

...The One? Sounds very familiar doesn?t it? Conner McCloud anyone? Ok its not another dreadful Highlander sequel but it might as well be. Replace McCloud and sword with Jet Li and Kung Fu and play a variation on the Highlander storyline i.e he doesn?t go around beheading his enemies but goes around killing himself in different universes. The poster looks vaguely familiar too! X-Men anyone? I know the trailer looks good, but believe me its not! Anyway before I slate it anymore, lets get a quick overview of the so-called plotline. Jet Li plays Gabe a policemen in our universe. Unbeknown to him, there are multiple versions of him in different parallel universes collectively known as the multiverse. One such version is Yulaw (also played by Jet Li) who has travelled around parallel universes and killed most of his counterparts...

Review of The One DVD

One sexy Net Book!!

Advantages: Small for travelling, Fast, Stylish, Great Battery, Webcam Built in.
Disadvantages: No Cd Drive:(

...consoles. *Built in Wi-Fi Wireless adaptor. Unfortunately considering all of those great features this net book has, it is missing one crucial piece of hardware. That being the CD- Rom / DVD drive, for many people this may be an inconvenience but I hardly ever use them anyway, but it would have been nice! External drives are easily available for around £10 on eBay. Not a bad price at all. General information Do not be fooled by this net books small size, it has a load of power. The intel Atom processor is designed for net books and travel, but it is really powerful. All applications are loaded almost instantly and it hardly ever freezes. I admit that it can take 5 minutes to warm up from start up, however I never switch it off; I just close the lid when finished. When I want to use it I just flip it up and away it goes...

BE Unlimited

Advantages: High Speed Internet at Low Speed prices
Disadvantages: supplied wiress routers are sub-standard

...Generally speaking most internet service providers are a bunch of cowboys. They?ll sign you up for 12 to 18 months, promising download speeds superior to those of their competitors but once you?ve signed up, the reality is that you will most likely get a fraction of the speeds that they claimed you would get. The only thing that can combat such practices is healthy competition and luckily that's where BE Unlimited come in. This is going to be a long review but bear with me. Hopefully at the end of it, worst case scenario is that you may understand how to get the best out of your current service provider. Ideally you will see the light and do what I did and move to BE Unlimited. Who Is BE? BE Unlimited is one of the lesser known broadband suppliers who I migrated to after having been a customer of Orange for a number of years...

Review of BE Unlimited

  Is this The One for you?

Advantages: significant potential savings, mortgage repaid quicker, superb service
Disadvantages: need to be very disciplined money wise

...This is an update on my original review in December 2007, reviewed twelve months after commencing the facility. I have updated this given the unprecedented changes in the financial markets recently as well as changes in my personal circumstances, both of which have been helped enormously through having a One Account. ***History*** In 1997 The Royal Bank of Scotland and Virgin Direct formed a joint venture and marketed "The Virgin One" to Virgin Direct's 200,000 customers and it was an immediate hit and so in 1998 it was marketed to the general public for the first time. Since then it has continued to be a huge hit. In 2003 it became known as "The One Account" and Virgin were no longer involved. From the regular TV ads and poster campaigns most people will have heard of the name but may not know exactly what it is. Web site is...

Review of The One Account

Acer Aspire One = Number 1!

Advantages: Small, light, comparativley powerful
Disadvantages: No external DVD drive provided. Protective sleeve

...I purchased this laptop for my wife to do do her training work on, also she didn't want to carry my luggable! We went for the 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD Linux model in Blue for about £250. Out of the box its a good looking machine, the glossy blue finish is nice, but instantly prone to fingerprint marks. It feels well built and durable. I comes with what some would call a protective sleeve, in a way it does protect but really all it protects is from dirt, it wouldn't protect it from any knocks or drops. The Linux Operating System is in my opinion VERY basic and highly kneecapped compared to what Linux can be, although there are guides on the internet to unlock more of its potential. But having said that it is also very easy to use. Personally she tried it but didn't like it having be bought up on Micro$oft like most people, so i ended...

One Day All This Are Belong to Us?

Advantages: Another promising release from a keen rock band.
Disadvantages: My terrible review title. Someone suggest a better one...

...The keen Fightstar are back with a second album and it continues the level of quality fans might expect from previous releases. The artwork again uses Arcipello's fantastic scifi digibrushings, and it comes with a bonus DVD with some extras on it. The album on the whole is of a very consistent standard, and huge amounts can't be said for every track so I'll just give you some highlights... The first track is called 99, and it starts quietly before the main riff kicks in. It's great opening track, and gives you a taste of Fightstar's style if you're out of the loop. A mix of driving guitar rock and intelligent mixes of strings and effected vocals, with a quiet section and a bridge before the solo and last chorus (a structure they get in a habit of using a lot). Track three, Floods, stands out for me as one of my favourite tracks...

Review of One Day Son This Will All Be Yours (Parental Advisory/+DVD) [PA] - Fightstar

The One Account

Advantages: Paying off your mortgage quickly and saving you thousands of pounds
Disadvantages: You need a lot of common sense and future vision to benefit from this account

...I HAVE WROTE AN UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. HOPE YOU ENJOY READING AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GET IN TOUCH IF YOU WISH. GARY. The One Account?...where to begin??? Well for a start you need to have a common sense mentality, or this product will simply not work for you. The account works by purchasing your house on your switch card, i.e. you have a massive overdraft; as simple as that. You then pay in your wages and any other sums of money you can get hold of into your account, and hey presto, you simply pay off the debt. Why does this product work for me? Well my scenario is that my I own over half of my property, so I benefit from the lowest rates of interest that they offer. If you are not in this situation then the account is not really for you as better deals can be found. Now for the interesting bit?..can you save money?.or do...
