Samsung SH-S222L/BEBS Internal Half Height Supermulti PATA 22X Lightscribe DVD-Writable Drive Review

Samsung SH-S222L/BEBS Internal Half Height Supermulti PATA 22X Lightscribe DVD-Writable DriveThis drive is working great.

I've installed but haven't tried the Nero 8 Essentials software yet. It's a full OEM version (not just a trial version, in case you were thinking it was too good to be true). I've attached some screenshots that describe its features.

My six-year old drive wasn't reading some of my budget music CDs well (lots of static), so I replaced it with this nice, new drive, which reads them perfectly!

For those of you who don't know what PATA means (like I didn't know until I looked up PATA on wikipedia), it's a new name in the set of names for E-IDE drives. I attached some photos to reassure folks like me that this drive will plug into the E-IDE cable of their older computer and slide into their standard drive bay. Another confusing point: the drive is called "half-height", but since they don't even make full-height devices anymore (see the cool, old photo on wikipedia), you'll probably just know it as standard height (and width).

USB Battery Operated 8 LED Desk Lamp Review

USB Battery Operated 8 LED Desk Lamp.... duct tape! ;-}

>.... allows you to position the light anywhere....

Uh Huh.....

The base will support the lamp if the gooseneck is straight up, or straight over the switch, but since the gooseneck and lamp weigh more than the base, even that is unsteady, and any other position will need something to tape it down to your desk to stay up.Maybe if they had saved some of the lead from their paint and put it in the base it would have helped.There is a battery compartment, so you can put in your own, or some old dead batteries to stabalize it.

Other than that it does (so far) what it advertises as far as light.Don't know about the mosquito repellent feature the packaging boasts about though! LOL!

Almost worth buying to read the packing
Warning! Spoiler:

* Super Bright
* Gentle
* Benefit from Preventing Eyesight.

Ellula Hot Air Inflatable Speaker Set (Blue) Review

Ellula Hot Air Inflatable Speaker SetI was given a set of these speakers.I ended up throwing the inflatable speakers away but the amplifier, which they say has 10 watts rms output, is working great to drive a pair of 4 ohm full range car speakers.I used it to drive an old pair of unamplified computer speakers (which were far better than the inflatables) for a while.So, if you have a lot of spare parts this amp can be used to make a nice computer speaker system without taking up a lot of desktop space.

Speck Products SeeThru Hard Plastic Case for iMac 20-Inch, in Black (IM20-BLK-SEE) Review

Speck Products SeeThru Hard Plastic Case for iMac 20 inch, in BlackI should have guessed that this wouldn't fit a 20" 2006 iMac (the white Intel ones).It fits a little bit actually but the screen is misaligned along with the camera hole.Kind of mad that they didn't specify which 20" iMacs it would fit.I suspect that this may only fit the 20" Aluminum iMacs though.The only positive is that it looks nice.Also, this will be the first thing I'd be returning in 3 years.

Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 3200 Laser - Keyboard - wireless - RF - mouse - USB wireless receiver - black - German Review

Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 3200 Laser - Keyboard - wireless - RF - mouse - USB wireless receiver - black - GermanI do not use windows, and naturally not vista (no sane person does). Strictly speaking this stuff has windows as requirement. Many other hardware lists that, but most normal ones just work fine under anything. Now, c'mon, what could a KEYBOARD and a MOUSE possibly need to be unusable?

The box contain a mouse and a keyboard. The mouse is a nice one, invisible laser guided, very precise moving, very fast, slick design. It has some extra buttons. I did not really expect to be able to use them under Linux, and basically that's the case: apart from normal 3 buttons extra ones just act as duplicates. I would use this mouse.

The keyboard contains lots of "features", like VoIP keys, media control keys, a very inetersting zoom slider, lots of stupid idiot microsoft-only keys (word, excel, whatever), and an LCD to display stuff. And it can use secure connection through bluetooth to prevent every bimbo on the street to capture the keys you hit.

No, really it doesn't. Secure connection requires a windows program ever time you use it. LCD displays time (I have at least 5 digital clocks in the vicinity) or counts keypresses which can be resetted by, guess how, removing all the batteries. Other than that it isn't programmable. Junk.

VoIP keys simply do not send keycodes. Most media keys maybe do, but so far no standard-baseddriver was able to really use more than 1-2 of them.

Media control keys work. Some of them.

Zoom slider works (touchpad), unfortunately, since it's just where my left little finger is. All the time. So it keeps beeping and moving the cursor. Argh. (No way to switch it off, naturally. It's a feature.)

Extra keys (word, excel etc) do not work at all, don't send scancodes.

But what really got me going to get rid of that junk was the following two:
1) it does not have scroll lock key. nope. I need it.
2) it does not have any lock key indicator leds. (have I pressed caplock? no? or maybe yes? let's try again...)

So back to my original $10 genius crappy one, which have all the keys and all the leds. Oh well.

Dunno about windoze users. I don't have any nearby.

Maxtor L01P200 Internal 7200 RPM 200 GB Hard Drive Review

Maxtor L01P200 Internal 7200 RPM 200 GB Hard DriveThis is a great drive. It's fast (about twice as fast as my other 2 and 3 year old 7200rpm drives) and it's silent and seems to be reliable. It's also at a great price for the capacity, and it's Maxtor, a trusted name in hard drives. I got the ATA card with mine, but I used another Silicon Image card I purchased previously (it has the same features but gave less problems, my computer took longer than it should to start up with the Maxtor ATA card). The MaxBlast software worked perfectly and never gave me any trouble. All those giving bad reviews because of the software or lack of card need to stop complaining. The point is, the actual hard drive is great, and you won't go wrong purchasing it. I like it so much, I decided to purchase the 160 gig version to replace two of my other hard drives.
