Well thought out racing game for DS - Ferrari Challenge

Advantages: Lots of gameplay, easy to just pick up and play
Disadvantages: Gets a bit repetitive eventually

...Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli is a racing game for the Nintendo DS. There are similar titles released for other consoles such as the Playstation 3, but this is a separately written game and has lots of good things about it. In terms of the game play, getting into the game is quite easy as the controls are easy to master. There is also a long and comprehensive tutorial section of the game so that you can get used to the car handling. Both text appears on the screen and there are audio clips to help you learn what the best racing line is and how to approach some of the corners. When playing you can get extra points for keeping the right driving line, taking corners effectively and also for smooth overtaking. To master the game takes longer, as you will have to become very experienced with each track and really have to race each track...

Review of Ferrari Challenge (Nintendo DS)

Ferrari WIN Championship title in Malaysia

Advantages: fine racing car, good build, good performance, grip, handling
Disadvantages: not many, may not have as much straight line speed as Mclarens..yet

...01.01.2001 update This opinion was written immediately after Ferrari won the Championship in October 2000, and relates to the events and feelings that unfolded in Sepang during the winning moments. ---------------------------------------------------- Already a Triple World Champion after winning at Japan 2 weeks ago, Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello finished 1st and 3rd at Malaysia today. This ensured that Ferrari won the constructors Championship well ahead of Mclaren. The Mclaren’s got of too a good start but due to Mika’s stop/go penalty, Mika was not able to finish on the podium despite fighting his way through the field and came 4th. However, David Coulthard had an exciting race chasing race leader, Michael Schumacher during the last few laps of the race. After a close race, he was not able to...

Review of Ferrari

The fall and rise of Ferrari.

Advantages: Plenty of cash.
Disadvantages: None.

...Ferrari have the longest tradition in the sport of Formula One Motor Racing, being founded by Enzo Ferrari and having competed in every Grand Prix since 1950, when the official world championship started. Ferrari used to be a great team winning more titles than any other. Since the late 1970's though, they have struggled with reliability being their main problem. Nigel Mansell helped to turn things around in 1991, winning several races for them, and the title would have been won if it were a more reliable car. Now that Schumacher is on board, and Ferrari have finally overcome this reliability problem the title is there for the taking. Barrichello is a good number two driver for the team and Jean Todt has a good brain when it comes to race strategy. Having contested 655 Grands Prix they are the most succesful team in...

Dell D430 - the perfect commuting laptop

Advantages: Light, portable, built in 3G, robust, full size keyboard
Disadvantages: Not the most attractive design, battery life ok, but nowhere near quoted figures

...I've have a company Dell D430 for about 6 months now, and its by far the best laptop I've ever used. My commute is over an hour each way by train, so the built in 3G is a god send. The overall size is ideal - plenty big enough to use for extended periods, and have a 1280x800screen resolution, yet its very light and fits in a small courier bag. The keyboard is full size, and it also provides a track pad as well as a 'nipple' for cursor control. Battery life isn't as good as the quoted manufacturer figures (is it ever?) but it last a good 3 1/2 hours or so with constant average usage. Performance wise, its no gaming laptop, but for most people its more than adequate, with office apps, web browsing and even a bit of photo-shopping causing no slow downs on processing. Mine has a mere 1Gb of ram, but as its Windows XP and not the dreaded...

Review of Dell Latitude D430

My middle name is Ferrari.....

Advantages: Looks good in red !!
Disadvantages: Wide

...This is THE review I?ve been itching to write, and as I?m such a reserved person as Sue26 will tell you, her I go !!! Ferrari is one of the most evocative names in the world, but their cars are more refined in appearance, you have to be a very ?in your face? person to drive a Lamborghini. A Ferrari is speed and elegance epitomised and embodies the ethos of it?s founder Enzo Ferrari. Ferrari in this country is looked after by Ferrari U.K. (Maranello Concessionaires Ltd.) The web site is www.Ferrari.co.uk, and is well worth a visit by all car enthusiasts. The U.K. company was founded by Colonel R.J. ?Ronnie? Hoare, a man of great vision who made the U.K. one of the largest markets foe Ferrari cars. Now, to diverge for a minute, Mike Hawthorn was Britain?s first motor racing world champion, and on winning the 1958 title at the wheel...

Review of Ferrari 550 Maranello 

Ferraris? Monks? I was sold just from the title!!!

Advantages: uplifting, interesting
Disadvantages: short,

...and memorable characters, interesting stories, comedy, tragedy and above all it offers inspiration and encouragement to consider life choices a little more deeply. As you read the book through, you feel transported on the same journey as our ferrari owning monk protagonist, and I found myself stopping after each chapter to consider what I might have learnt from its content. It certainly put a smile on my face and a skip in my step, would reccomed to anybody! :)...

Review of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari - Robin S. Sharma

Ferrari, Zoom, Zoom, Zoom

Advantages: Looks good, functions brilliantly, v.v.v.v.loud speakers :-)
Disadvantages: Gets very very hot, poor cooling and air flow, bit dated technologically :-(

...I bought mine on ebay for £360, I needed it for university study and it's working really well for small documents like word and excel and it will also play some games well, mainly Unreal Tournament online :-) The disk space of 60GB is plenty for me. The main reason I bought it was because a friend of mine had bought a new Acer computer and when we wanted to watch videos or listen to music the sound on it was like a whisper even at full volumn, the Ferrari however is really really loud!!! For its age I think it is really good, it looks good and the keyboard and pad are easy and comfortable to use, but as the other reviewer said it does heat up a lot, and the fan is on full power most of the time, I am going to hopefully solve this problem by buying a cooling pad to fit underneath it with extra fans hopefully it will run a lot...

Review of Acer Ferrari 3000LMi

Canon Speedlite 430EZ (not listed) NOT the 430EX!

Advantages: Readily available second-hand; many features; easy to use;
Disadvantages: DOES NOT WORK WITH DIGITAL CAMERAS

...at dress rehearsals! The 430EZ I have was used from 1990 to 2005 and must have taken several thousand flashes in that time, with total reliability. The flash can be turned and swiveled, to allow bounch flash off any nearby wall or ceiling. For anyone who has not used this technique, it removes those harsh shadows behind the subject, whilst a simple piece of card sellotaped to the flashgun provides a 'catchlight' in the subjects' eyes. Exposures are TTL-measured and invariably correct. Second-curtain sync allows for realistic night-time shots of mmoving vehicles etc, whilst the strobe function allows a series of rapid flashes to be used on one frame (I used it only once!). The flash automatically zooms from 21-105mm to suit the lens attached to your camera (this can be over-ridden). The easy-to-read display can be backlit at night...

the monk who sold his ferrari

Advantages: Amazing
Disadvantages: it ends

...The monk who sold his ferrari, is one book which really makes you re evaluate your life and look at things in a slightly more indepth way. The high flying lawyer, earning a packet, but also under a huge amount of stress, suddenly has a heart attack at a young age. This obviously came as quite a shock and made me make some life changing decisions. He leaves his wife, his job and pretty much everything he know to search for a better life. He end up in tibet with a small group of monk. These monks teach him about life how to make the most of it. After spending some time with the monks he decided to go home and carry on spreading the teachings that he had learnt. He go to see one of his colleges and begins to tell him the story of his travels. Not only does the lawyer teach his college where he was going wrong in life. It...
