A slick print screen facility

Advantages: Options, it works well, it's free
Disadvantages: Can be slow to email as an attachment

...If you look at your computer keyboard on the top row of keys on the right hand side you?ll see the ?Prt Sc? key, the one that captures a print of the screen that you are currently looking at. It?s a very handy facility to have but notorious for not working properly & being a little restrictive. Gadwin Systems offer free software that eliminates the problems of the ?Print Screen? facility & turns into a very slick operation. You can capture a screen print & save it for printing, you can choose a number of ?hot keys? that you prefer to use for the simple function. You can capture a full screen or a certain section; in fact there are about six different image formats to suit each individual user. I find it very handy when your browsing through websites looking for something & come across similar offers, printing a copy of the various...

Touch Screen Fun

Advantages: Original, nice looking, sturdy
Disadvantages: Limited range of games

...screen. It really is excellent, and makes the DS worth the money. It is accurate, generally easy to control and the screen doesn't scratch permanently (you do get temporary scratches, but these rub off easily). There is a handy holder for the stylus on the side so it'll be quite difficult to lose it. There is also a D-Pad and four buttons for non-touch screen games, which are clear and easy to use. Another control is the microphone - I have only used this for 'blowing' games, not 'talking' games, however my experience of it is negative. It doesn't work, and you'll give yourself a nasty headache trying to blow into it anyway. -Extras- The range of extras are things like an alarm, a Wi-Fi chatroom and a customisable profile. You can also change the colour of the start-up screen to suit your tastes. These extras are neat, but nothing to...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

Nice clean screen

Advantages: Works well, lasts ages
Disadvantages: quite exspensive

...I started using Vivanco TFT Screen Cleaner when I purchased and LCD screen TV in December. It was recommended to me by my local Euronics centre when I went in to find something to clean my TV as normal polish can't be used on an LCD screen TV. It cost me ₤7.99 for a 200ml bottle, and comes in a green bottle which is made from recycled plastic and you get a lint free cloth to use with it which is kept in the lid. It uses a pump action spray mechanism to dispense the cleaner. This product is environmentally friendly and alcohol free. Most importantly with this product is it is Butylglycol and Methanol free so it will not damage your TV screen. It also has anti-static properties so it helps keep the TV looking cleaner for longer. It can be used on Glass, TFT, LCD and PDA screen and mirrors. This is a great product...

A Thrilling Review on TFT Screen Cleaner

Advantages: They do the job
Disadvantages: Too Small

...Are you ready for a thrilling review on a TFT screen cleaner? And not just any old TFT screen cleaner, what we have here is a pot of no less than one hundred TFT and LCD Screen cleaning tissues. Excited? I hope you are, because believe it or not this is exciting stuff. Having parted with well over three hundred pounds for a brand new Philips TFT monitor a couple of months ago I proceeded to make the screen smeary with the use of a common can of furniture polish, well it works on the TV why wouldn?t it work on the monitor? Well, it didn?t work, no matter how hard I polished and rubbed the smears would not disperse, Argh, it was like looking through a curtain! Luckily, in the recesses of my mind I remember seeing a little display of TFT monitor accessories in PC World when I was buying the monitor, and I distinctly remember some sort...

Review of Storex TFT, LCD and PDA Screen Cleaning Tissues

Fantastic screen

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: --

...**** Viewsonic VA2216w**** When i got my new computer it didn't come with a screen so instead of using the one that came with my old one (i say old but was about a year old)i decided to treat myself. The first place i looked was Tescos direct-as i figured with ecoupons ,staff discount and a few other offers being on that i would get a good deal and i think i did. This was very easy to set up ,just had to connect to the back of my computer and i was ready to go!!! It came with a quick start guide but i didn't need this as it was so easy. **First impressions** My first thought of this were good-this is an impressive 22 inch wide screen monitor ,which for a computer is perfect!!!It is also a flat screen so you can put it on the wall,or if its on a desk it wont take up much room. After using it for a while i can say that...

Does screen violence create violence in society?

Advantages: some evidence of a link between screen violence and real violence...
Disadvantages: ...but not a lot. Also it's rather mixed and lots of different factors involved.

...The debate over whether violence on screen (movies, TV, videogames etc.) auses violence in society has raged for years and involved some dodgy "proof" that it does. While I don't agree with some violent scenes in various forms of media, I'm still not convinced that it causes real violence in society. I had to do a presentation on this topic in my psychology class at school and found some interesting arguments and "proofs" for both sides of the debate. One study often quoted as proof that violence on TV makes kids violent is "the Bobo doll studies" by Bandura, a psychologist who is famous for his Social Learning Theory (basically this is the theory that behaviour is learned from watching the behaviour of others - vicarious learning. If the person being watched is seen to be rewarded for their behaviour in some way, it is "vicarious...

Magic on the screen?

Advantages: Entertaining enough, harmless family fun
Disadvantages: Nothing special about it

...film role. I'm not sure how old she is supposed to be in the film, but she looks about 9. She is actually very charming in the film - she is not too cutesy, but delivers her lines well enough and looks very down to earth. Her on-screen brother is played by Joshua Jackson - he is, unfortunately, completely forgettable - although to be fair, his role isn't particularly well developed. Jack is played by Mark Harmon who I recognise from a whole raft of American series, including NCIS and Chicago Hope. He is good in the role, despite the fact that he is required to deliver some daft lines and has a rather pointless relationship with a woman also staying by the lake. The fact that he looks a lot like John Barrowman doesn't hurt his reputation much either! There are a couple of characters that I thought were no more than padding. Uncle Kipper is...

Review of Magic In The Water (DVD)

Violence is everywhere, not just on the screen

Advantages: Quality entertainment such as the Matrix
Disadvantages: Certain elements of society use on screen violence it as a scapegoat

...Since the dawn of time violence seems to have been an inseparable part of human development. In past eras the sight of death wasnt shocking but an everyday occurance. Death was not something people did not see on a regular basis and violence for some individuals was a way of life. Today many feel there is no need for such an element of violence within modern society. But i feel one thing is the same. People keep using scapegoats for violent acts in this day and age. The violence on screen has often been blamed for countless acts of violence towards fellow human beings. I've seen it on the news and heard on radios more times than i can remember how these kids have been influenced by on screen violence. Im going to simply say that i love action movies and the vast majority of them are heavily violent. The fact is violent video games...

Nokia 5800 touch screen music phone

Advantages: Quick and easy to use
Disadvantages: Can get damaged easily

...The 5800 XpressMusic is a revolution for Nokia with it being the first touch screen phone produced by the manufacturer. With its slim lined shape it is an easy phone to hold and to use. The stylus being made of plastic makes the phone as light as possible and easy to hold and to use with the screen. The back of the phone can be removed without out fuss to get at the battery and the SIM card which is slotted into the side of the phone but only removable by removing the back and the battery. The Nokia 5800 takes a micro SD memory card that can go up to 16GB in size that also slots into the side of the phone that the SIM goes in. The general use of this phone is simple and to task with many shortcuts through menus including the 4 buttons on the front of the phone one of which opens a shortcut menu for media applications including music...

Review of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Great touch screen phone from LG.

Advantages: Clear screen, easy to navigate menus, good quality camera
Disadvantages: Tinny suond playing MP3, software glitches, unable to view screen in daylight

...I've owned this phone now for around 12 months and am loving it, this is my first touch screen phone. First off, I have found the screen to be large (3.5") very clear with excellent colour reproduction. On the downside, the screen cannot be viewed in direct/bright sunlight or even outside on overcast days - this is a big disappointment, as it makes viewing messages when you are out extremely difficult. When I say I can't see anything I mean it, the phone might aswell be switched off! The battery life is great, I get as much as 7 days between charges if the phone hasn't been used much - which after 12 months use is superb, especially considering the large screen size. When the phone is used a lot I still get 3-4 days between charges, again this is excellent and I have yet to come across a phone that can better that. I have always...
