About as exciting as HDD cables get

Advantages: About as exciting as cables connecting your PC components get
Disadvantages: None

...For those of you unfamiliar with the art of poking around inside computers, an IDE cable is the bit that connects your hard drive to the motherboard to transfer data between the two. Normally, this item is a rather dull grey flat "ribbon cable" with (usually, as far as i can remember) 3 unmarked connectors. This IDE cable from AKASA is different... they do them in a variety of pretty colours (such as the Blue one pictured), and are rounded.... which apparently helps the airflow inside your computer casing, and keeps things cool (apparently your processor runs faster the cooler you keep it + too much heat tends to be one of the many things that can cause the bits inside your computer to wear out quicker)........ they've also "idiot proofed" the cable by labelling the connectors "mainboard"(?), "Master" & "Slave" (master= main hard...

Review of Akasa IDE / EIDE cable

Belkin IDE Lead the way :-)

Advantages: Makes your pc cooler
Disadvantages: Not much

...This cable is a good buy. There varied in colour also in price, depending where you buy them from. But really, when there inside your pc, is colour really that important? First of all, I owned earlier versions of this type of IDE cable from different manufacturers, at a higher price to. All but 1 no longer work, I came to the conclusion, the reason behind this was. When you plug the leads in & out, there was no support for the pulling or pushing. Once or twice this is not really an issue, but over time if you constantly change things in your pc, problems will happen. My issue was that, some of the cable had ether been stretched to much whilst unplugging or bent & snapped inside the rubber casing as I plug them in. This resulted in your hard drive or other devices failing to be detected or causing system reboots. After purchasing...

Official Wii Component Video Cable

Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games
Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater

...After the release of the little white bundle of joy on the 8/12/2006 people were given a composite cable to show off their new shinny new console. AV enthusiasts all know a composite signal is the poor quality option for showing video on their TV's - what people really want is RGB or Component video input. As console manufactures are out to make a profit they usually bundle the cheapest and most compatible option with the console and then release upgrades to that product for people who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable. Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p. I finally got hold of the component video cable after...

Amazing Little Cable

Advantages: Synchronizes mobile phone to PC
Disadvantages: None

...REASON FOR PURCHASING I am fond of taking pictures with my Nokia 7360 mobile phone.There are always unexpected moments that I want to treasure by capturing them with my mobile phone. I only bring my digital camera with me during special occasions so I use my mobile phone in taking pictures in ordinary days.

Review of Nokia CA-42 Mobile phone cable

The GAMEware component cable spices up the Wii's HD graphics.

Advantages: Improves the graphical quality of games, Cheaper than the official cable.
Disadvantages: I suppose some people will unfairly compare the Wii and the 360/PS3 graphics and be disappointed?

...Having previously played my Wii on a regular old television I was more than happy with the graphics in game. However upon moving house and purchasing a Samsung LCD TV which is HD compatible, I figured buying a component cable couldn?t hurt and I had heard good things about its effect upon games. I did not have the money at the time to purchase the official Nintendo one, and when talking about it with the kind and helpful assistants in GAME, they assured me theirs was just as good and a fraction of the price. I had never been let down by them before so I bought it and went home straight away to see the effect it would have, especially on games with already spectacular graphics like Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy. Difference in Picture Quality Being unsure of the effect it would have, I performed a blind test with a friend...

Review of Wii Component Cable

Be careful next time you need to call .. 'THE CABLE GUY' ..

Advantages: Well.... Jim Carrey stars in it!
Disadvantages: it possibly could have done with just a touch more humor.

...--------------------------------------- THE CABLE GUY on DVD --------------------------------------- This film was first released in 1996 and it was officially a box office FLOP . I was actually quite surprised to learn that on watching the DVD. Jim Carrey was already quite a well recognized face in the movie industry by the time that 'The Cable Guy' was released . His previous roles had included the lead part in the 2 ACE VENTURER movies( I love both of those films) and also the Riddler in BATMAN FOREVER(my son likes this one) . I first saw this movie a few years after its release, on pay per view . I loved this film so much that my sister on knowing this decided to buy it for me as a present a few birthday's ago.It was a GREAT choice as it is still a favorite of mine all these years on. ---------- Plot ---------- Jim Carrey...

Review of The Cable Guy (DVD)

the cable that will last a lifetime

Advantages: strong
Disadvantages: none

...Now iv not done a review on USB cables before, really its just never hit me that I could actually write about these and there’s also the fact that there’s not really much you can say about a cable, but ill give it a go. This is a normal printer cable which means it has two ends, one being the end which goes into any USB port in your computer or laptop, this end is the rectangle shaped end and is called a type A. The other end is which goes into your printer, and don’t worry as nearly every printer made has this kind of end so it will definitely fit, and this end is kind of square in shape and is known as the type B end. It transfers data to your computer at speeds of up to 480 mbps, that’s megabytes a second which is really fast and is about 40 times faster than USB 1.1 cables. The cable its self is 1.8 m...

Belkin Power Cable

Advantages: Works perfectly, Fits Snug, Lengthy enough
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this for plugging in my computer because the power supply I had to buy did not include one. There isn't much to say on a power cable so this is about all I could think of. My main reasons for choosing this where because I knew Belkin is a very respectable brand for when it comes to electronic connector cables and its length suited my needs perfectly. I found that the cable fits very snugly into the back of my computer so that when it gets knocked about for some reason (kicking from mad frustration during games :) ) then it does not fall out. It is easily strong enough to hold its own weight in so it doesn't pull itself out- which is a problem one of my crappy computer monitors was having. This caused me to buy a second one for my computer monitor as I was overall 100% pleased with this one. It has never failed me causing in...

Champagne and camel rides at Cable Beach Resort

Advantages: Beautifully landscaped grounds, high quality accommodation
Disadvantages: Need a GPS to find your room

...I was looking forward to my stay at plush four star Cable Beach Club Resort in Broome, Western Australia. According to their advertising material, I could expect Asian serenity and Colonial Indulgence. It sounded great and friends had recommended it as a very pleasant place to stay. In total, I spent three nights here. Because it was included in a coach tour package that I'd booked, I didn't make a booking specifically for the hotel itself. However let it be said that the room rates vary. I saw one website (discoverwest.com.au) which was offering rooms from $A155 (incl breakfast) plus a free camel ride, but other quotes elsewhere were much more than this. The hotel runs a shuttle bus to Broome Airport to greet tired travellers. Or you can get a taxi to the resort ($10). First impressions of the resort were favourable. A porter...

Very POOR Guide to Cable

Advantages: Err, I suppose the crossword is OK
Disadvantages: Terrible value, Poor descriptions of programmes

...Cable Guide has got to be one of the most useless and rip-off TV magazines about, I am not totally sure if this magazine is actually on sale all over the country, and not just the “Telewest” cable areas (let me know if its available in other area’s), but I know one thing, don’t bother buying the thing. I am lucky or unlucky whatever way you look at it, as I get this magazine free as part of my Cable package, but in the shops it actually sells at the ridiculous price of £3.25, yes £3.25 for a pretty useless and poorly put together magazine. What is Cable Guide? Well, as I have already stated, it is a magazine that gives us the programme and film schedule of our Cable network, it is fairly thick in size and is out monthly, the trouble is, its pretty crap. What is inside the magazine? There are various...
