Michael Jackson is Invincible

Advantages: The King,, Slash, Great album
Disadvantages: None

...**Introduction** Michael Jackson has become a lot like Marmite with many people around the world over the last few years. Some either Hate him or Like me Love him. (Or rather his Musical legacy). With all the bad press I thought we should focus on something positive and With his huge upcoming stand at London's 02 Arena coming up I thought it was time to review the album that is freshest in the memory of Michael Jackson fans and that album is of course his 2001 album Invincible. **Invincible** It's been eight years since Michael Jackson released this album and that makes his previous gaps between albums seem like an artist who releases an album every year or year and a half where it has always been around four years apart from 1997's Blood on The Dancefloor after 1995's History. Invincible was released by Epic Records and features...

Apple Iphone 3G 8GB

Advantages: A great piece of hardware with unlimited possiblilities.
Disadvantages: Can't delete pre installed apps

...I have been a customer of O2 for many years now and so after resisting as long as I could I finally gave in and got the Apple Iphone 3G on contract. I have to say I have no regrets! The Iphone 3G is a completley touchscreen phone with internet capabilities. Not only can the phone connect to wifi signals it is also permanently connected via your network provider, all the while you have signal anyway! I find that the speed of the internet on this phone is sufficient for what I use it for (train times, facebook, emails etc), it get's a bit faster when connected to wifi rather then your network providers internet but to be honest I find the normal 3G speed is fine for me. The great thing about the phone is the applications you can add; the phone can be completly tailored to you and becomes unique for everyone! There are plenty of free apps...

Apple iPhone 3G

Advantages: A great phone
Disadvantages: None, in my opinion!

...So, as I?m sure everyone on here who has an iPhone has done, here?s my review on this little beauty?just by that you can already guess, I?m a fan of this! After my last contract with o2 expired three months back, I had the choice to renew everything and seeing as there was a distinct lack of phones available with o2 (in hindsight, I would have perhaps opted to look at the phones available with contracts provided by the Carphone Warehouse) I bit the bullet and went for the iPhone 3G 8GB version?the 3GS was available, but I?m not made of money and lets be honest, to pay that much extra for a bit more storage space, voice control and a video camera is not worth it in my honest opinion. I?m sure you?re all aware of what it looks like, but if not it?s a touch screen operated phone which is a glossy black little number. A smooth back cover...

Monty Python's Life of Michael

Advantages: Candid, revealing insight into the reality of 'the nice one'
Disadvantages: Sometimes hard to keep track of who's who; strangely short on humour

...And now for something completely different?Never meet your heroes,? goes the old adage. ?Never read their diaries? might be equally sage advice. That?s probably why I didn?t tackle Michael Palin?s collected daily journals until now. Along with the rest of the Monty Python team, he was without doubt a hero of my teenage years. Today, when so much television is disposable pap, such admissions stretch credulity. But I derived more enjoyment, education and social acceptance from Monty Python?s Flying Circus than any other influence on my nerdish adolescent self. Even now, 30 or more years later, I was wary of anything which might demolish the façade of those shows, which could reveal that my telly gods had feet of clay. So I opened this hefty, 600-page distillation of the Python years (1969-1979) with trepidation. I came here...

Charlie Wilson's Fight for Afghanistan

Advantages: Great Acting, excellent story
Disadvantages: Some sad scenes of the Afghan suffering

...Charlie Wilson's War is a film which I had been undecided about for a few weeks so I finally took the plunge and bought it. I think the deciding factor was that it stared Tom Hanks and Julie Roberts, both of which I like. The film features Charlie Wilson, played by Tom Hanks who is a party loving Congress man. He is good friends with Joanne who is a rich Socialite, played by Julia Roberts. Joanne manages to talk Charlie into looking at the troubles in Afghanistan where they are being invaded by the Russians. Charlie goes and sees the troubles first hand and is shocked at what he finds. He does agree to help Joanne by getting the weapons and ammunition which they need to defend their country. To do this Charlie is helped by a CIA agent, Gust Avrakotos and soon finds he needs to persuade the Congress to give them large amounts of money...

Apple iphone 3G - WOW...!!!

Advantages: constant updates, very sleek,
Disadvantages: worried about scratching it

...around your phone without having to scroll through tons of menu's. It's all just one click away. Apart from the usual icons you would expect to have on most phones i.e. text, contacts...there is an icon called App store...pure genius who ever came up with this idea, this lets you download ANY icon about pretty much ANYTHING. I would say it also probably the main feature of the phone too. It doesn't matter if your in the stocks and shares market, love eating out at restaurants, you need a to do list for reminders, you like to play a few games, check the weather, want the currency rates for your next holiday, can't find the public toilets, are lost in the middle of know where...there will be an App to help you out. The sound quality on the phone is very good, obviously you have headphone too as it is an ipod aswell. The iphone 3G is a huge...

iPhone 3G

Advantages: Looks, interface, quality, fun
Disadvantages: Camera could be better

...The iPhone 3G is (almost) all the phone you'll ever need. Don't listen to the iPhone knockers, it's a fantastic piece of kit, it's so slick and easy to use that it even makes me use it to call people more than I ever normally would (I am a man after all so phone calls are short and not always sweet!). The build quality is excellent, I've had mine for a few months now and there isn't a scratch on any surface, it (almost) never crashes (occasionally Safari crashes after a heavy browsing session, and some 3rd party apps crash from time to time). The interface is REALLY slick. All of the built -in applications and most of the 3rd party ones you can download from the App Store (more later) integrate with each other very well. For example, if you have a friend's postal address in their Contact, start typing their name in the GPS...

Michael Jackson's Thriller

Advantages: Great songs, talent, highly skilled voice, excellent sound quality
Disadvantages: You might not like Michael Jackson

...There is no other album like Michael Jackson's Thriller even after 25 years it still remains a class above the rest in my opinion. Michael Jackson's Thriller sold in excess of 27 million copies in the USA and Michael Jackson received a ground breaking eight Grammys and 12 nominations in 1984. The album is highly polished and has an excellent sound quality. The album produces a style that is unique to Michael Jackson which has a great dance atmosphere and has a good blend of percussion and keyboards. Tracks like "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" are part of this influential album. I love the way Michael Jackson's Thriller captures you into a world of make believe as the music slows down and picks up throughout the album. No two songs are the same. The beat in each song is fantastic giving a good blend of variation throughout the album...

The Apple Iphone 3G

Advantages: touch screen, push email, sat nav, wifi
Disadvantages: heat sensative, battery life

...I have had the Apple Iphone 3G since its UK launch date. I was really excited to get one as the launch of the standard Iphone back in November had really got me a taste for all things Apple. There is so much to say about this device that I do not know where to begin. First of all it is much better value for money. The standard Iphone set me back £269 where as this one was free. O2 let me upgrade to it for free as well, so I cannot fault the network supplier, despite the bad press they received around the launch. The phone itself does everything that you could want from a phone and so much more. The best feature is the wifi connection - I go to coffee houses a lot and they all supply the Cloud wifi, this is unlimted and free as part of the contract so I get to surf broadband for free when I am out and about! The best thing about...

3G vs 3G(S)

Advantages: Aesthetics, Range of Applications, Portability and Touch function
Disadvantages: Limited to only O2 Customers, and Short Battery Life

...iPhone 3G is still the best and no-one can say that this isn't true. Even with iPhone 3GS release, I still believe iPhone 3G is better and much cheaper, no doubt. Now, I will tell you why it is THE best. Before I start off comparing the two iPhones, I have to give the packaging 12 out of 10. It has a very unique shape and it gives that slick and crispiness within the packaging as well. The size is perfect to fit the iPhone and has no excessive waste. The packaging itself sells the whole concept of the iPhone. When you open the packaging, you will get to see the beautiful iPhone as if it's in a showcase. For a moment, you will see the glow around it. All the manuals and the cables are tucked away behind the iphone. The manuals are pretty much same as all other manuals . It has different languages from European language to East...
