Music to go (2)

Last September I wrote that I almost bought the iRiver iHP-100 MP3 player. One of the problems I had with it, was the fact that was just 10 gig. Well low and behold: there now is the iRiver ihp-120 which packs 20 gig of discspace. They just released it on oktober 14th. Here is the CNET iRiver iHP-120 Review. Also, the price tag was a bit steep (at least here in the Netherlands): Euro 475,-. Yesterday I walked into the Media Markt (a huge electrical appliances store here) and saw they lowered the price of the iHP-100 to Euro 399,- […]

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

It is out now: Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne: PC game play at its best! I just bought it yesterday and I played it already for hours! This game is truly a great combination between action and cinematics. If you played the previous Max Payne, this sequel is a must buy! If you were diasppointed in the Matrix game, you now have a chance to see what ” bullettime” really was meant to be! This game was the first one to really capture the action style that made the movie The Matrix so great. The storyline is […]

Smooth as a Panther

If you read my Blog you might have noticed that I installed a pre-release of OSX Panther earlier this month. Well, it had some problems with it that I didn’t anticipate. For instance, my browser (Safari off course) didn’t accept any input from my keyboard anymore (which is a bit of a problem when typing an url) and it also ignored my scrollwheel on my mouse. Also it seemed that my bluetooth was completely gone. Other than it seemed to run smooth and I have to say that it also fixed some annoying problems (more on that later). Off couse […]

DVD2one – The ultimate DVD processing tool

Say you have shelled out some $30 for the DVD LOTR Two Towers and you want to loan out that DVD to your neighbour. Wouldn’t you be mad when they return it with scratches on it? I rent a lot of DVD’s and when you get them they look like crap. It is as if people use them as a frisbee or a coaster or let their dog chew on it. That’s the reason I just make a bakcup of my DVD’s and give the copy to whoever wants to see it. That way I make sure my DVD’s stay […]

Mac to the Max: Panther

People who have read my Blog before, know that I have a very nice Apple Macintosh Powerbook G4 from my work. I had a choice between a regular laptop or the slick and sleek G4 – running OSX which is basically a Unix flavor OS. Well, for a technology freek like me that was a clear cut choice. I got the Mac. I have been a real fan of OSX from day 1. It is by far the best OS in terms of stability for a laptop I have seen so far. I have run many different OS systems from […]
