Review: Westcott Green Screen

Have you ever watched the news? Of course you have. Well then, as an expert, you will know that at the end of the news, there tends to be a meteorologist flailing their hands about in front of a map of the UK. The reason for their flailing is that they have only a rough idea of where the various areas of the UK are in relation to there hands. You see the map is not there, it is added in by clever technology that replaces a green background with a desired image.

Review: Edifier MP250 USB Soundbar.

Edifier have been well known for making posh and respectable PC speakers. From the commendable Luna 2, to the less accomplished, and competitively priced M1250 bob- a-job speakers. The speaker I am reviewing today lies more at the competitive end, but still manages to retain an aesthetic quality that belies its price.

Review: Norton 360

Back in the day, when I previously used the Norton Anti-Virus suite for my home computer, it gave me the hump. There were a few reasons I got narked with it, the main one being that the hit on system performance was pretty high for an AV suite, and for a chap who liked to play the odd online FPS, it was a bit of a pain. Secondly, once you installed it, it was installed. Every facet of your computers being was wormed into and monitored by Norton, and it felt stifling, and ominous. And if you wanted to get rid of it, you would have been lucky to remove all of its various components and registry entries without a team of Microsoft computer scientists, and a man with a hammer in reserve.

Review: LG Flatron W2486L LED Monitor

In this review, I will be looking at the LG W2486L. A wide screen LED monitor. The LED backlight is more energy efficient, and another advantage is that the monitor can be thinner than your bob-a-job TFT, a mere 2 CM give or take. So, does this monitor deserve a spot on your desk, or should it be left on the shelf, all thin, and unused, like an old Kate Moss?

Review: Magix Audio Cleaning Lab 16 delux.

Audio Cleaning Lab 16 deluxe, is the next installment of the Audio Cleaning Lab software by Magix. As the unambiguous name suggests, this software cleans up your digital recordings from analogue sources. The price looks fairly reasonable at £25.00, but does the software provide bang for buck, or does the financial value reflect it’s abilities?

Review: Swann MDV-450 Action Camera

In the future, when we all have electronic eyes, we will be able to record all we do through the sensor in the pupil, and directly into our positronic brains. From there, we will put our interface finger into the computer, and upload all we know. For now the Swann MDV-450 Action Camera will have to do. This 90mm long cylindrical camera is a tough and light, and made for those without bionic eyes to record their action sports adventures. With a RRP of £89.99, would it be cheaper to become Steve Austin?

Touchscreens to Push Sales?

Touchscreens, touchscreens, and more touchscreens. That seems to be what CES has been all about this year. As compelling, and useful as touchscreens are, it remains to be seen if they will be enough of a draw to make some of the devices on offer a success. Devices such as Sony’s Dash, a tablet shaped device with 7″ touchscreen, or IDC’s Vega, a 15″ touchscreen tablet device, are very capable, but will the form factor be a hit?

Review: Sandberg StreetBlaster Headphones

I would like to start by saying that this review is aimed at the trendy section section of society. The ones who can pull off a mullet, and not be embarrassed wearing skin tight jeans, and a blazer. The focus of today’s review is the Sandbergs StreetBlaster headphones, which at an RRP of £35.99, might seem a reasonable amount of money.

An absolute tech junky, I graduated from the University of Manchester with a degree in Computing and now live on the outskirts of Leeds working with you guessed it, Computers. I love all things gadgety but really dislike wires. For those of you who haven’t worked it out the name of the site is a combination of my nickname (Gaj) and the pronunciation ‘Gadget’.
