AIPTEK Hyper-V-Cam

Advantages: Great budget camera, very good picture quality for age/price.
Disadvantages: Not manufactured anymore. See review for details of others.

...at the front, also a little green LED which tells you when the camera is on...I did leave it on for a LONG time and it started flashing and went a little nuts, so maybe not a good idea to do this! The button on the top, (when all drivers and software is installed ) activates the quick start of the picture taking software so you don?t need to go through stupid start menus etc to get it going. The manual lens adjustment is for focusing purposes only and it can be annoying at times when you wish it was auto focusing, but this camera is so old now that it?s not even listed on the manufactures website! So if you don?t have the drivers, you will need to look around the web like I did of which the file name was ... " hypervcammobile-win98-xp-2000vs325.exe" In case you need them. CONNECTION: Leading out the back of the cam is...

Review of Aiptek - HyperVcam Fun

Utilities Galore

Advantages: Lots Of Free Programs. Hardly Any Advertising
Disadvantages: Shareware mixed up with freeware.

...This little gem of a magazine is not as well known as I first thought. This was evident from the fact there was no category for my opinion to go. It has now been included by Ciao, so now I can get on with writing an opinion for it! The magazine is published monthly at £4.99. There is always 1 disc jam-packed full of many useful programs for you to install. Every 2 or 3 issues, an additional disc is supplied as a treat. For example, the May 2003 issue came with an extra disc containing a version of Linux that requires no installation. These extra discs always offer something different and this is one of the reasons I buy PC Utilities. The main disc that comes with the magazine each month contains the following: ESSENTIALS: some of the most essential programs and files that you'll ever need e.g. n...

Hyper Pen , do you need it

Advantages: Great for drawing in art programmes
Disadvantages: Handwriting recognition is slow

...I have owned an Aiptek HyperPen6000 for about 2 months now, and bought it online for the bargain price of £24.99 (including delivery). The Hyper Pen comprises a pressure sensitive pad, a cordless pen (which functions like a mouse) and mouse to use in conjunction with the pad, and various software packages. Installation was quick and easy, and the software provided (Corel Art dabler 2.1 and pensoft) is excellent. Art dabbler has excellent tutorials that I would recomend doing as the functions are not always clear, and there is much more to be gained from the programme than first appears obvious. You can still use your keyboard and normal mouse whilst having the hyper pen also active which I find useful as the mouse provided doesnt have a scroll wheel, and the pen is difficult to use for browsing and scrolling down pages...

Review of Aiptek Hyper Pen

Aiptek Hyper Pen

Advantages: Inexpensive, small, handy, useful
Disadvantages: some people might prefer a mouse

...I recently bought a Hyper Pen by Aiptek after my usual mouse died on me. I was sent a leaflet in the mail,and got the Hyper Pen opn a special offer - £34.99 including all the handwriting software, cordless mouse and some extra bonus software. The Hyper Pen is a very useful gadget. you can use the pen as a usual mouse, or you can use it as a writing pen, where word will convert the writing to text. It does take a little while to get used to the pen as opposed to the mouse, but it's advantages far outweighs any bad points. You can set up 12 'shortcuts' on the pad (labelled F1 to F12), and when you touch them with the pen your selected program will open. For example, I have set F1 to open Word, F2 to open Excel, and so on. Another useful feature is that it has a transparent flap which you can lift up, and place a picture (or...

The Utility Warehouse Services

Advantages: One bill
Disadvantages: Shoddy customer service

...I was with Utility Warehouse for a total of two years (phone, mobile (SIM only) and broadband services) until I bought an Apple Imac. Try as I might, I couldn't get UW's broadband service to work with the Apple. After several phone calls to their tech support at 75p a minute, where I received rather unhelpful service and no sign of the promised return support calls, I decided to change suppliers in September 2007. Having had the broadband service with UW for well over a year, I am extremely annoyed that they are trying to charge me an 'early cancellation' fee of £50, plus they're still charging me for the SIM card for my mobile phone, presumably because I've never returned it (what other mobile provider insists that you return your SIM card if you cancel your contract??) because I haven't the foggiest where it is. My first letter...

Wilson Hyper ProStaff 5.0

Advantages: Good pucnh and good control for an hyper carbon racket
Disadvantages: needs more control

...This is a pretty good racket. Coming into the hyper carbon era in tennis from graphite this racket has a lot of punch to it, and also has a lot of control to it. The control may not be has good as the original ProStaff graphite racket which was used by former no. 1 Pete Sampras. However comparing this racket to other hyper carbon rackets this racket has good control. The punch in this racket makes it easier to play shots witm more power and little effort, however the draw back with this racket for me has been when trying to attack an approach ball. When you try to put a little more effort in the attack the racket usually ends up giving to much of a punch making the ball out of control....

MAC HyperReal - Tres Funky!

Advantages: Matte appearance, little glittery bits, very versatile
Disadvantages: MAC is tres expensive

...I bought this after having a make over at one of MAC's stores. I've always adored MAC make-up but I've never been able to buy any in Birmingham, until their shop opened here a few months ago. The foundation i bought was 200 HyperReal, which is a very light foundation. I have combination skin, and it is a matte foundation. It doesn't slide off my face and you don't need a lot of powder. The best thing is that it has litle pink and gold pigments in, which give you a kind of subtle glitter and nice highlights on your cheekbones. I usually use tinted moisturiser, but I've found that you can use this both as daywear and for going out. It is suitable for all skin types and comes in a range of shades....

Review of MAC Hyper Real

Utilities, utilise and user friendly.

Advantages: Works with most Windows versions and is easy to use
Disadvantages: Can get a bit over the top

...INTRODUCTION Right, another write up for the software section. I really am a ?mad computer genius? in my spare time. Anyway on with show. For those of you who will remember my recent dive into the world of Norton Anti Virus, here comes the second chapter ? all about Norton Utilities 2002. Fair enough, I was lucky enough to drop on both packages being sold together for a snip (or so I think) and yes, I will be writing about a ?freebie? firewall that runs with both these programs. WHAT, WHERE AND WHEN? I bought Norton Utilities at the very same time I bought Norton Anti Virus, for just under £50, from John Lewis (formerly George Henry Lee) in Liverpool - how?s that for lucky! It was about 9 months ago and I haven?t seen the same package since! THE REALLY BORING TECHNICAL STUFF. Norton Utilities has system...
