Xbox 360 network Adapter

Advantages: Cute,Compact,Attachable
Disadvantages: Weak signal,Very expensive

...Microsoft and their proprietary products are poor performance,and too expensive.This adapter detects the same network my pc adapter detects but only 1 bar of signal.My pc adapter has 5 bars on the network.The xbox adapter must not have an omni antenna and the gain is probably 1dbi.I tried to opened this crap and put a higher gain antenna but the connector is a sub micro connector specially made for microsoft to screw us.I still could have rigged a better antenna,but i accidentally lost an ic chip trying to pry this thing apart,now there goes 70 bucks,never again. Fortunately i discovered linksys sells a universal game adapter (part number WGA54G),the adpater is also pc compatible,why isnt the xbox adapter pc compatible?Anyway,the linksys has an omni antenna and yes its removable to get a better omni.The signal is 5 to 15 times...

Xbox 360 network adapter, to buy or not?

Advantages: makes connecting to live wireless
Disadvantages: very high price

...i bought this for £50 second hand, and i found it very easy to use and it connected to my modem in minutes, but i know not everyone connects it as easy as i did, infact i couldnt connect it to my old router when i first got an xbox 360, so then i went for the ethernet cable method which is ideal if the router is in the same room as the xbox 360 because its much cheaper, gauranteed to work and normally makes connection better, but in my case i had a 30m ethernet cable running down my stairs which is not ideal! therefore when i bought my xbox 360 back i wanted to get it sorted with the network adapter. THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE ADAPTER: its a easy method of connecting up to xbox live if it will connect to the router its small and as a nice slot at the back of the xbox 360 theres a light which is green if its working and red if its...

Logitech Digital Security System.

Advantages: nice idea
Disadvantages: not reliable

...Logitech Digital Security System. I recently purchased the 'Master' outdoor system and the indoor system. I thought it was very expensive (£ 400.0 for the two) but as it was made by Logitech I thought it would work and be of good quality. I was rather surprised when I opened the master box to find that it was going to cost me even more to get the full system as I had to subscribe for extras such as zoom and extra web services. I set the system up and it worked fairly well, except that the picture quality was poor and the video was slow. It ran for two weeks and I was able to view my home from anywhere through my mobile phone. However, yesterday it stopped working, I don't know why. No pictures were received in the main PC. I re-booted. I un-plugged and re-plugged the cameras, still no pictures. So that was it. No more checks. It...

Kaspersky Internet Security - average protection

Advantages: Provides basic tools for anti virus, easy to install
Disadvantages: none really, just prefer AVG.

...As a university student we have to pay a rediculously high amount for tuition fee's so the college I am doing my foundation degree in offers free laptops for the duration of the course. The laptop comes fully equipped with Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 and it really does the job. Most anti virus software is available for free with the opportunity to upgrade however it is worth it from a business perspective, to buy something like this. Kaspersky - available from http://www.kaspersky.co.uk/kis25orkav30?THRU&reseller=43021&gclid=COjpgZPllp4CFVtn4wod6BIzlw - is a security software which provides anti virus protection and identity theft protection. I often purchase things online and I, like anybody, have downloaded applications. Loosing work for university would be incredibly frustrating so I am pleased with the protection available...

A simple security light for the garden

Advantages: It costs nothing to run
Disadvantages: It isn't very bright but it is adequate

...I recently bought a log cabin for the garden and decided to light the inside using a solar light so the only thing remaining was to find a way to illuminate my pathway to it. I live in a rural area with no street lights so it gets pretty dark round here on cloudy nights but I didn't want anything that would blind the neighbours or anything bright enough for two First Division football teams so I was happy to look for something solar powered that would do the job and cost nothing to run once it was installed. I quick search of Amazon brought up a selection and I settled for the Smart Solar Powered Duo Security light which has two lights that swivel and which contain a total of 10 LEDs as I thought that would give me a reasonable light and a few direction options once fitted. Design Features The light duly arrived...

Secret Security

Advantages: Impossible to remove
Disadvantages: Only a deterant

...a 600 Diversion may not be as desirable as the Katana, but there are more of them around. My hunch is that they saw that the Diversion had Datatag security on it and decided that it was too risky to take it. Datatag was installed on my bike before I bought it. It cost me a paltry £15 to change the registration details. This means that if my bike is stolen (God Forbid), it will be almost impossible for the thieves to remove all the datatag information secreted around the individual parts of the bike. Datatag was initially a Yamaha sub company, but has recently been bought by Matsui. The system (for motorcycles) costs £49.99 and includes the following:- 3 x DAT300 Transponders 2 x DAT100 Transponders 12 x Stencils and etching fluid 1 x Pot Datadots 2 x Warning decals The whole kit can be installed by professionally trained...

ETF Securities commodity investment

Advantages: An easy method of including commodities in your investment portfolio
Disadvantages: ETFs and ETCs are a new idea, commodity investment always has been risky

...ETF Securities (http://www.etfsecurities.com/) is a Jersey (UK) based company that can give private investors exposure to commodity markets. It issues shares called 'exchange traded funds' or ETFs that track commodity prices. You can buy ETFs that track gold, silver, platinum, iron, oil, corn, wheat or even lean hogs, or ETFs that track agricultural indices or hold a range (a 'basket') of commodities. Such ETFs are also known as ETCs or 'exchange traded commodities'. Until ETCs were introduced it was very difficult for retail investors to get direct exposure to commodity markets. Why invest in commodities? Before continuing, any reader must accept that this article cannot be used to provide investment advice, and nothing stated here should be taken as such. Anybody thinking of investing in commodities should understand that...

Belkin wireless G USB Network Adaptor

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Not enough information on software or packaging.

...I recently bought a Belkin wireless adaptor when I went into a house share and needed to have the internet. I use the internet but I know little about the technical side of things. I paid £19.99 for the adaptor in PC world who only had Belkin at the time which I thought was not expensive. However installing it was a nightmare. The 3 easy steps on the box seemed so easy; Install the software, plug the adaptor into a USB PORT - start networking! If only it was that simple. Every time my computer searched for a network it crashed. I phoned the Belkin company who took me step by step through the technical part and still we could not get internet. Eventually the Belkin assistant told my for some reason my computer was not recognising the new network. Being increasingly frustrated I considered taking the adaptor back for a refund...

Norton Internet Security 2009

Advantages: Quick to Install, Fast, Better update System
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...Over the years i've been a loyal customer to Symantec, Purchasing their products since the time when they used the massive boxes to ship them in. Norton internet security has to be the best version yet. As with all the other Norton security packages, it does its job extremely well. I have to admit that I can't remember the last time I got any virus onto my system. The only thing would be the simple tracking cookie. Slowness People think that when they buy Norton, it completely slows their PC down. Now, this may be true for some of symantecs older security, but 2009 is completely different. The installation time is one thing, Its insane how quickly it installed. Now that its installed I never notice its there, just silently running in the background. Its actually got a new update system which makes it much quicker and less...
