Great Web Camera

Advantages: Price, quality of picture, software bundle, ease of use
Disadvantages: slight delay when using conferencing

...This camera from 3Com couldn't be simpler to use. It plugs directly into your USB Port and comes with great software. Software included is webcam32, Picture Works Live, 3com Homeconnect Vid Cam, viewer, and great help files. The camera allows you to take still digital images and record live video. Picture quality is excellent and when using the webcam for video e-mail or conferencing the delay in picture is minimal. The camera can be focussed really close up so is excellent for those macro shots. It has self adjusting 'white light' features and sets itself up for the prevailing light conditions. An excellent and affordable web camera...

Internet Security for home and business

Advantages: Comprehensive Internet and viral security
Disadvantages: End user complexity

...This article has been updated more info on subscription renewal and GoBack : I recently replaced Norton Internet Securities (NIS) 2003 with NIS 2005. The primary problem with NIS 2003 was the annual subscription update. You need a subscription key, I could not find it. I have not found the key for NIS 2005 yet and have started to use NIS help and support for symantec solutions, a web based customer service virtual agent supplied with the software. It takes a little practice to access. NIS 2005 is suitable for XP Home / XP pro / 2000 pro/ ME / Windows 98. It is less effective for a mac user. The system includes : Norton Antivirus. Personel firewall. Privacy control. Anti - spam. Parental controls. Bonus software Norton Go BACK. NIS 2005 is more comprehensive than it's predecessors although the basic facilities are...

Great WebCam

Advantages: Clear Pictures
Disadvantages: Choice of colour, if you prefer PC Grey.

..."Great performance and value. Unbeatable combination." An ideal webcam for windows 95/98 for the price. Excellent low light support and clarity of pictures. The framerates superb with a fast internet connection but that goes for all webcams. I like the detacheable 9ft cord and the shutter button on the camera for taking pictures away from the PC. I've tried the Logitech Quickcam Pro and the Intel Create & Share Cams, and opted for the 3Com Web Cam due to better performance. I really don't see any negative sides to this Cam. Well apart from it coming in black and not matching my monitor on which it sits....

Love is there on the internet

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...***Forgive me if the category choice for this seems a little odd . The only other close one was Online Dating, which in my mind ties in with dating websites and suchlike, and really doesn't apply to my situation . Also, this review is probably not going to be particularly useful to anyone - it's simply me documenting my experience of an internet relationship . Please rate it as you find it, but bear in mind my category dilemma *** I first met Phill in September last year. I'd been playing an online multiplayer game for about 3 years up to that point, when I started to get a little tired of always playing with American players - nothing against them, just the timing of activities never seemed to work for me . So, I asked on the games forums if anyone had a UK linkshell (similar to a guild) they'd be happy for me to join, I got a reply...

WEBS (2003)

Advantages: Some good actors and some decent kicking actions.
Disadvantages: The list goes on - Story line, Monsters, Consistency, Logic.....

...said some meaningful thoughts (cheesy as heck though); which was along the line of 'Just imagine all the history that has gone on in this building, and it is all going to be destroyed'. I should just gave up on the film at that point but I was hoping this B-movie can prove why it still exist on the shelves. They discovered a bolted door and curiosity has got the better of them, as they managed to open it. The room was fill with electrical machines, and being nosy electricians meant they have to fidget buttons. Fidgeting buttons lead them to open a portal to the parallel universe (Ooohhh). Arguments and boisterous pushing and shoving caused Dean and Jones to fall into the portal, to a nice modernised Chicago?.with webs! It is night-time in the New Chicago, without anyone in sight. The fact that it is so clean with webs would make...

Review of Charlotte's Web (DVD)

A tangled web!

Advantages: great read, good suspense
Disadvantages: none

...I have been reading books by the author Joy Fielding for as long as I can remember. Her books can best be described as psychological thrillers and in most cases I have been on the edge of my seat from the moments I have picked the books up. 'Charley's Web' had a slightly different feel to it though and although I enjoyed the book very much I did not really experience the usual tension until towards the very end. The book is about a character called Charley Webb who is a somewhat provocative journalist for a Florida newspaper. She writes a weekly column that often provokes and shocks her readers which consequently leads to a lot of interesting emails and letters. Most are complaints but alongside all her regular post, she receives a letter from Jill Rohmer, a convicted child killer awaiting execution on Death Row. She wants Charley to...

Getting Your Kid Into Digital Cameras

Advantages: Features Like Any Regular Digital Camera
Disadvantages: 16 MB Internal Memory and No Zoom Capabilities

...No digital camera review on CIAO would be complete without a few entries about cameras designed for kids. After all, kids are almost universally enthusiastic about taking pictures. And parents with a love of photography often pass down their passion to their children. But digital cameras are not always kid-friendly, due to fragile construction, price, or complicated menus and buttons. The newest trend in children's electronics is a group of digital cameras made especially for small children. These cameras are easy to hold, come in bright colors that kids love, and have many of the same features as grown-up digital cameras. Kids love them. The VTech KidiZoom Digital Camera is one of the top digital cameras for kids. This camera was made with fun in mind. Kids like the KidiZoom's large LCD screen and the onboard photo editing options...

Mobile internet at home or on the move

Advantages: Easy to install. Broadband with a phone line
Disadvantages: Connection speed dependent on O2 signal strength.

...Due to circumstances beyond my control I was unable to persuade BT to supply me with a standard home phone line and am unable to receive any form of broadband through the ?Pay & Call? line that they would allow, but I still wanted to be able to access the internet. So I spent a little while looking through my options and decided that Pay As You Go mobile broadband through O2 was the best solution. In order to access the mobile broadband I had to purchase a suitable modem and this, the E160 was on sale in Phones 4 U at a pretty reasonable price of £24.99 (it?s also available free on the pay monthly option). For under £25 I received a fairly small box containing the modem itself, a USB lead, quick start guide, terms and conditions and SIM card. I was surprised that there was no driver disc or user manual but soon discovered that both are...
