Did you say "D" or "B" ?

Advantages: Volume Control
Disadvantages: Limited entertainment

...are different colours, the vowels being red and the consonants being blue. This is a great way of helping the little ones learn which is which. Another nice feature with this toy is that above the letter buttons on the pictures are brail markings for the letters making this toy not only suitable for fully able children but also those with difficulties with their sight. In general the toy is easy to understand and simple to operate, my 3 year old has no problems in setting the modes and playing the learning games. The sound is clear and the wording precise, the only problem I've found in regards to the sound is that "D" and "B" are said very similar and when asked to find those letters it is easy to get them wrong, while you are given the encouragement to try again it's difficult for a little one to learn which letter it is they...

Review of VTech Alphabet Phonics Teacher

The O.D.B. - May he R.I.P.

Advantages: Very different, great beats & ryhmes
Disadvantages: Lots of swearing, nasty lyrics( He is called the Old Dirty Bastard after all)

...R.I.P. O.D.B. Biography. I have chosen to write a biographical account of the mans life. It isnt strictly part of the review but I believe this informs the listener what they are listening to: a one off person with a colourful history that made his music as individual as he was. Its important to me, but if it aint to you then please skip it. The review proper starts below. Russell Tyrone Jones was born on the 15th Nov 1968. He ended up leaving 13 kids behind when he died in 2003 under mysterious circumstances - drug related probably. You may or may not have heard of The Old Dirty Bastard of the Wu Tang Clan. Or perhaps you may know him by one of his many aliases – they include Osirus [sic], Joe Bananas [sic], Dirt McGirt, Dirt Dog, and Unique Ason, and at the end of his career calling himself Big Baby Jesus too. No...

Review of Sky Broadband

Earphones

Advantages: Multi-featured
Disadvantages: None

...This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great little device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need. Max. Sound pressure level (aktiv): 104 dB Powering: 9V DC (transmitter) AAA batteries (receiver) Weight (Transmitter): 430 g (incl. audio cable) Weight (Receiver): 280 g (incl. batteries) Range: bis zu 150 m (for 926 MHz up to 100 m) Modulation: FM Stereo Signal...

Review of Sennheiser RS130

Logitech X230

Advantages: Nice sound, clear like crystal
Disadvantages: noise : 96db, bass is sometime too much

.... However, the cable is a bit short : 1.5 m so there's no point of having them wall-mountable, and Signal-To-Noise Ratio is quite high : 96 dB. The speaker also has new technology to avoid noise from RADIO SIGNAL so you won't have to worry about noise coming from your mobile when someone is calling you....

Altec Lansing UHP 306

Advantages: Great sound quality, strong cord, carry case
Disadvantages: Price

...After my Sennheiser CX 300's snapped a friend gave me his Altec Lansings. At first they did take some getting used to as they are bigger than the CX 300s, I would prefer them slightly smaller. Background noise isn't a problem but initially you may find the silicone tips take a bit of wiggling about to get them to fit exactly if you want them to block out all background noise. You'll get used to the positioning very quickly so it won't be a problem for long. The noise isolation level is 16dB which as far as I'm aware is more than those of the CX 300 which I think is around 12dB. If you need more than 16dB there's also a Professional set which have a noise isolation level of 26dB and generally higher spec. The cable is a cloth cable making the durability greater. The earphones also come with a pouch to store them in and several sets...

Review of Altec Lansing UHP 306

Our New Washing Machine: It's a Bosch.

Advantages: Quiet and efficient. Good bulid quality
Disadvantages: None so far

.... As I had owned several Bosch tools and found them incredibly reliable and of good quality, I suggested we go this time for a Bosch and having owned this machine now for around 6 months, it was certainly no mistake. We purchased the Bosch ClassiXX6 1200. We got our machine from Comet, who delivered it the following day and took away our old Hoover at no extra cost. Quiet and Powerful I was amazed at the quietness of the machine as it went through its cycle (Noise level washing (dB): 59, noise level spinning (dB): 79). With our old Hoover machine, I had often had to increase the volume of the TV when the thing went into its spin cycle. Enough said! But this Bosch brought a smile to my face as my wife said to me, ?it?s spinning, can you hear it?? I could barely discern a faint noise as I listened carefully. I couldn?t resist but go...

Review of Bosch WAE 24468

Leave them up the creek, I say...

Advantages: The occasional funny moment
Disadvantages: Just doesn't work

...This 2004 film was much of a nothing really. A silly plot and a silly few performances could have been a real success given the level of adventure it features here. However, there is a bit of fumbling in terms of the direction it takes, and something just doesn't quite gel for me. The film features three friends, Tom, Jerry and Dan, as they set off following a friend's funeral in search of some buried treasure. The idea is for them to do it to honour a sort of dream of theirs. As kids, the four of them wanted to search for the legendary lost treasure of D B Cooper, who hid it and went on the run. Following the rumours and the random directions and working out clues, they set off in search of the treasure.........completely unprepared for any terrain they may encounter in remote Oregon. Okay, so a trio of overgrown kids in their 30s...
