A true genius

Advantages: This works!!!
Disadvantages: the colour

...It was thanks to the nice people here on ciao that I actually got to try out this stuff, I won it as part of a Tigi gift set in the recent colurings competition. To be honest if I had not won the prize I doubt that I'd have actually gone out and bought the stuff due to it being £8.50 a bootle and its rather off putting colour - a kinda pearlescent tourquoisey green! Apart from the colour this stuff is excellent! If you love coconut you'll love the smell of this stuff as it has a very natural coconut smell to it and not a chemically smell. The creative genius comes in a large recyclable bottle giving you 200mls of the green liquid. To be fair liquid is the wrong word to use in describing it's constitancy, its more like a watery cream. The instructions for use are found on the bottle in rather small lettering! No I don't need...

Review of TIGI Creative Genius

It's Creative with speakers!

Advantages: Tiny, FM radio, voice recorder, speaker
Disadvantages: Quite some, read the review

...I never had a great respect for Creative?s audio quality, in a sense they are know to have at best ?above average? and normally ?average? audio quality. None of their audio products has ever reached, forget about over running, the standard set out by the best up there. This new Creative ZEN Stone Plus is no exception only that you get a speaker system, whose sound quality is not more than what you can expect from speaker so tiny, as a bonus and only that. The Upgrade to Creative Zen Stone plus, keeping the same price tag with upgraded accessories without charges. Providing silicon skin and detachable clip for the skin plus the standard ear-bud, instructions and of course the USB cable. I thought it was an inch from the Shuffle and Clip. The skin is a quality one providing openings for USB cable and the speaker. The new Zen Stone...

Pure Genius

Advantages: Very funny film
Disadvantages: Nothing

...really funny to cheer me up - and this film proved to be it. Real Genius is rated 15 and runs for 102 minutes. It was originally released in 1985 By Tristar Picture Inc. This DVD was released in 2002 by Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment. It cost £7.99. This disc comes in a normal plastic DVD case with the title of the film and a picture of Val Kilmer on the front. Val is sat on an office desk, wearing a shirt and shorts with an 'I love toxic waste' tee shirt underneath. The film is about a boy called Mitch Taylor (played by Gabe Jarret). Mitch is an extremely gifted fifteen year old. He applies to go to Pacific Technical College (even though he is about five years too young.) At a Winter Science Fayre, Professor Hathaway (played by William Atherton) a teacher at the College arrives to tell Mitch he has been accepted. Upon...

Review of Real Genius (DVD)

Small Speakers, Small Sound

Advantages: Small, lightweight, can be used with any mp3 player
Disadvantages: Sound quality isn't great - speakers not very powerful

...Introduction I previously posted a review for the Sanza Fuze mp3 player I bought for my daughter. Well, one of the joys of having a child is you buy them something and then they ask you for accessories, and this was no exception - I needed to get a wall charger separately and she also asked for speakers. Most of the content my daughter has on her mp3 player is on her laptop, for which I bought her high quality speakers that give her excellent sound quality, so when she asked for speakers I told her I was only going to get cheap portable ones rather than spend a lot of money on something that would merely duplicate what her laptop does. Choosing the Speakers My daughter isn't particularly fussy about sound quality, so she was happy to go along with this and I did a little research online in search of something that would fit...

Problem Feet?... Soap and Glory Heel Genius is here!

Advantages: Gives you soft and smooth feet, Not a bad price. Great packaging
Disadvantages: None at all!

...If you have read any of my previous reviews then you will know how much a fan I am of Soap and Glory products. The latest product from the Soap and Glory range that I am reviewing is their Heel Genius product. Having tried most of the Soap and Glory bath and shower products and being really impressed with them I already had high hopes for the Heel Cream. I was lucky enough to get brought the Heel Genius as a present off my mum. I had been complaining about how my feet had been hurting as I do a lot of walking (to and from work everyday and generally running around at work) that she was very kind and went and brought me this product. The Soap and Glory Heel Genius can be found in most Boots stores and will cost you the price of £5.00 (For boots advantage card holders that also gives you 20 points) I think this is a really good...

Review of Soap & Glory Heel Genius

Educational wildlife game for the Nintendo DS - Animal Genius

Advantages: Has some educational value
Disadvantages: A bit too basic, children are likely to grow bored quite quickly

...This review is for the game Animal Genius for the Nintendo DS and the game was developed by Big Blue Bubble and published by Ubisoft. The aim of the game is to go round five different levels and learn more about the animals in each area. The game is educational, and is based around the five main levels, rain forest, arctic, sea, grasslands and woodlands. The problem however with educational software is that it is difficult to merge both educational value and fun value. This game doesn?t really succeed in that aim either and isn?t likely to appeal to most children for very long. There is a lot of reading to be done in the game, as there is a lot of useful educational information that the game tries to impart. This is helped by the speech element of the game however, as a lot of the information is actually read out, which does make it...

Review of Animal Genius (Nintendo DS)

Touch of absolute genius!

Advantages: Too much to list here!
Disadvantages: Other people wanting to use it all the time!

...Hi All. Well, where do you start with this bit of genius? My lovely wife got me this for last Xmas, and I have used it to death (well almost). I already had a Creative mp3 player that I used a fair bit when out walking the mutt, but I sometimes wouldn't use it for weeks at a time. But the touch is just so irresistible and useable that I use it every day. If all the PC's are in use I'll look something up using the touch. But it really is annoying that there is no flash player support on it (why isn't there?) The rest of the family have got Nano's and by comparison they're really basic and featureless. One bad point is that the volume doesn't go very high and I was on a flight recently and watching a movie (admittedly with a slightly quiet sound track) I struggled to pick up the dialogue. It's totally indispensible on holiday. It does have...

Speakers Corner - The Real Thing

Advantages: a British institution
Disadvantages: not as good as it used to be

...Does everybody who uses the words 'Speakers Corner' (from now on SC) know what they're talking about? That this is really a location: the north eastern corner of Hyde Park, near Marble Arch, London, UK? The words have left the location, aren't only the name of a place any more, they have become a term and are now used worldwide to describe . . . what actually? Certainly politicians in Singapore hadn't studied the subject closely when they decided to allow a SC on September 1, 2000. According to Reuters news agency: "The Singapore government announced it would launch the forum because it wanted greater public involvement, conducted in a 'mature, non-agitated way.'...Speakers must register for a permit and speeches may be recorded by the police . . . The police department said before the corner's opening that uniformed officers...

Disadvantages: no lens protector.

...I have been using this product Genius Slim 1322AF for about 3 weeks, and I really love it. The form is small and easy to install in many types of computer screen.

Review of Genius Slim 1322AF

-Philps desktop speakers-

Advantages: Includes mini amplifier and bass boost
Disadvantages: quite chunky

...I got these speaker is 2004 and they are still going strong. I have taken them on holiday, to school and they are now my computer speakers. They can be used about every where. Amazing peice of kit. ( been half way around the world) Hardley dented at all. Unlike normal computer speakers or portable speakers these include a small amplifier with the volume control and added "bass boost " controls. This is really great as the speakers can be on another shelf and the amplifier can be on your desk so you can control them without moving all the time. -The speakers- The speakers are really great quality and can deliver a vast range of tones easily. Although they are maybe just a little too big to be taken on holiday in hand luggage (they could be) they are still great. They are silver in colour and have light blue mesh over the speaker...
