...Introduction
Whilst out shopping my wife suddenly decided that she needed a new phone as she wasn?t happy with her LG Cookie that she had only had for six months. As she is on a sim only contract, it meant that we would have to pay for a new phone for her. Previously she has always liked Samsung phones so when she saw the newly released B3310, she decided it was the one for her.
Purchasing the phone
We bought the phone in-store from the Carphone Warehouse for £49.95 but we also had to buy £10 airtime on top of this. If we had chosen not to buy the airtime then the phone would have cost £99.95 instead which seemed a bit strange but evidently all phone manufacturers do this. We had the choice of 2 colours, light blue or pink. Unsurprisingly my wife went for the pink phone which will pretty much ensure that I...

Review of Samsung B3310
Advantages: Good special effects, good extras Disadvantages: Not too much of a plot, some player incompatibility
...of the movie ) -, a featurette, screen-tests, trailer slots, original art concepts, directors interviews and subtitles. A good collection.
Overall I would give the film about a B and the extras give it an extra mark....

Review of X-Men (DVD)
Advantages: Brillaint TV Disadvantages: Hard to get used to
...One of the TVs in my house has just been replaced, we was lucky enough to get a deal on the Samsung PS50b451 instead of it costing around the £700 asking price a friend of ours used her staff discount and along with some vouchers, the TV cost us around £350 which is brilliant for what it is. bit of a bargain actually.
I thought I would review it to see if it is actually worth the £700 asking price to those who aren?t as lucky as us to have a friend who works in a shop that sells them.
Why choose this one?
The reason that we choose this particular TV is that we wanted one in the 50 inch size range to replace the old one, and when we had a look at the range available we found that this one was not only the cheapest for what it is, but also we found that this one was the better looking of the three we narrowed our choice down to...

Review of Samsung PS50B451
Advantages: Great price,great sound quality, matrix button gives great 5.1 Disadvantages: Lots of wires!, Remote on quite a short wire
...Logitech X-540 Surround Sound.
I ordered ths off amazon for 49.99, it was sent by courier (Home Delivery Network Ltd) and arrived within 2 days of ordering. Very easy to set up and great price for full 5.1 surround sound. Took 10 mins to hook it up to my Xbox and is amazing while playing Gears of war :D...
First thing you notice is the weight contained in the small box the Speakers come in,its about 1ft square and contains 1 Bass and 5 satellite speakers, each individually packed in plastic bags. The bass unit is quite bulky and for optimal quality should be placed on the floor, but if you dont have much room, (like me) then you can put it it behind your TV or something... The base is the main part of the speaker set up, on the back are about 8 jacks for you to plug in the seperate speakers and inputs. Each is colour coded so its...

Review of Logitech X 540
Advantages: clear sound, very low noise Disadvantages: remote control would be nice
...An easy, plug'n'play sound system in cute-looking body with great performance. I was looking for new speakers for my laptop but then I decided I wanted more than just speakers and started searching through the lists of 2.1 and 5.1 sound systems. Originally I was about to buy a 5.1, but I realized such a set wouldn't be smart for a laptop which I wanna carry around and have it now on my desk, then on my bed, then on the floor etc, for which a 5.1 felt too much of cables and mass.
I'm happy about my decision since the Logitech X-230 has proven to live up to the expectations based on what they promise, the sound is clear, full and I find it great for both music, games or movies. The subwoofer bass is strong and full, perfectly satisfying for almost cinema movie experience. You can hear hardly any noise and the volume range is wide enough...

Review of Logitech X 230
Advantages: Lots of big tunes Disadvantages: A couple of tracks let it down
...The Port Arthur, Texas rapper Bun B released his debut solo album, "Trill", in 2005 due to the fact that his band mate, Pimp C, was incarcerated, and therefore couldn't work with him to make another UGK album at the time. Together, they have been in the rap game since the late eighties, and were part of the movement to get the southern sound out to the masses.
1. "The Inauguration" (Intro)
2. "Bun"
To get things underway you have him dropping a track, which after he has told us about his role as the president of the H-Town Rap scene, finds him showing exactly why he deserved to take up this position (despite not actually being from here) as he is one of few to make the H-Town sound go to all the far reaches of the globe.
**Four Stars**
3. "Get Throwed"
On this one you have the single collaboration of Bun with his partner in...

Review of Trill - Bun B
Advantages: Good story, quite witty Disadvantages: Possibly not for male readers
...territory, not only in the form of the private investigators themselves, but also as authors of the genre, and it seems that as a species, they're going all out to give the men a run for their money. Sue Grafton, Kentucky-born author with a mystery-writing heritage, brings us a thirty-two year old P.I. with the androgynous handle of Kinsey Millhone (what's wrong with giving a female detective a feminine name, I wonder?) who ticks most of the qualifying boxes, knows how to handle a gun and has no qualms about using it.
In B is for Burglar, the second in the so-called 'Alphabet' series, Kinsey (let's be chivalrous and call her by her forename) is approached by a woman anxious to trace her sister, of whom nothing has been heard for six months or more. There's no love lost between the siblings, but the two women are among a number...
Advantages: Edward Norton; Dialogue; Tension; Story Disadvantages: Propaganda
..."We're so hung up on this notion that we have some obligation to help the struggling black man, you know. Cut him some slack until he can overcome these historical injustices. It's crap. I mean, Christ, Lincoln freed the slaves, like, what? 130 years ago. How long does it take to get your act together?"
--Derek Vinyard
Edward Norton is one of those rare contemporary actors that you know whatever movie he's going to be in it's going to be good. American History X is by no means an exception, with Norton phenomenal in his performance as an ex-neo-Nazi attempting to prevent his brother from pursuing the path he did.
Edward Furlong (Terminator 2) plays the young skinhead Danny Vinyard, criticised by his teacher (Avery Brooks) for turning in a paper on Mein Kampf. The black teacher then instructs Danny to create a report...
Advantages: Price/quality, look Disadvantages: sensitive to interference
...,
Most people aim at good quality sound in PC's. Often good sound card is not enough and better speakers must be bought.
That means spending more money for good stuff, or less for cheaper brand. Not necessarily when considering
Logitech X-530 5.1 speakers.
First some esential tech data:
Total pow RMS : 70 Watts
Total peak pow: 140 watts
Cable lenght:
center:160cm
front: 140cm/180cm
rear: 450cm
Installation is as simple as possible and described weel in manual.
Very attractive design gives it professional look. Whole set is assembled with high quality components both
inside and outside. Unfortunately there are too many cables and subwoofer looks like attatched to big spiderweb,
however are quite thick and strong. Center, front, and subwoofer speakers cables are quite short; even for desktop
use lenght is...

Review of Logitech X-530
Advantages: Not that Bad Disadvantages: Not that good either.
...The Man From Planet X.
This movie starts with, some good special effects, of a planet spotted drifting through our system and it is going to come close to the Earth. The Planet named planet X, (how imaginative!) will be studied by many around the globe including Professor Elliot who sets up a small observatory in the remote moors of a Scottish island.
He along with daughter Enid and Dr Mears, a former student and love interest of the profs daughter are soon joined by the obligatory Newspaper reporter that always seemed to be in these movies.
They soon get a visit from a spaceship from planet X and the alien occupant of the spaceship. He appears at first friendly and benign but does he have ulterior motives? He breaths by means of a tank of his own X atmosphere. He has his own gold fish bowl helmet...
