ASUS Eee PC 1000HE Netbook Review

September 30th, 2009
by Gerald Roberts

The ASUS Eee PC 1000HE comes with a webcam a lot of hard drive space. This little netbook has more power than you could believe. That, and it’s probably the best mini notebook on the market…

Weight Weighing just over 3 pounds, it?s not the lightest we?ve seen, but it’s pretty darn good.

Storage It has a 160 GB hard drive. When you break that down, you?re looking at over 25,000 songs. Wow!With your purchase, ASUS also gives you 10GB of online storage. Can you believe that?

Memory 1 GB of DDR2 SDRAM.

Processor The new Intel Atom N280 uses only 2.5 watts of power. Put that next to the 35 watts used by a Core 2 Duo found in most regular sized notebooks, and that?s what we call fantastic battery management. The 1.66 GHz Atom N270 has a front side bus of 667 MHz for much faster data transfer on mobile applications.

DVD/CD Drive There isn?t one, of course, but it has 3 USB ports for external drive usage.

Connectivity It comes with:

* Integrated wireless, compatible with 802.11b/g/n networks * 3 USB 2.0 ports * A 2-in-1 card reader (SD, MMC) * 1 VGA monitor port * Headphone jack, Microphone jack * Ethernet port

Screen, AV A 10-inch LED-backlit widescreen display has 1024 x 600 resolution. If the user finds anything wrong with the brightness within 30 days of purchase, ASUS will replace it free of charge, which is why we love ASUS!

Battery A Super Hybrid Engine and a 8700mAh Li-Ion battery pack gives up to 9.5 hours of battery life. That?s the highest it goes as far as netbooks go.

Warranty It?s backed by a 1-year warranty for parts and labor — standard.

Pros The storage. 160 GB is really sweet! 10GB of online storage is like your own personal flash drive anywhere you go. Never again will you need to scrounge around for that pesky flash drive! Extremely good battery life. 9.5 hours is the top-of-the-line!

Cons The weight. 3 lbs. is light, but not the lightest. It?s a little more expensive than some of the other mini notebooks out there, but you get a great little laptop for your money. Whether that?s a pro or a con is up to you.

A Couple Of Short Motion Picture Synopses To See

September 30th, 2009
by Jesus Little

For a long time we have used the video store as one of our main ways to access movies. The next generation it seems will be getting their movies from movie downloads, avoiding any trips to the store. Just about any movie every made can be attained through a movie download site now. Check out these samples.

Marjorie Morningstar: Wood is only satisfactory as Herman Wouk’s heroine in this story of a N.Y.C. gal striving for greatness although ending up a suburban housewife, with Kelly being her summer romance. Cast includes Gene Kelly, Natalie Wood, Claire Trevor, Ed Wynn, Everett Sloane, Carolyn Jones, Martin Milner, Martin Balsam, and Ruta Lee. (123 minutes, 1958)

Raising-Cain: Lithgow is the entire show here. He literally has more roles than you can imagine in this over-the-top thriller in reference to a set of double brothers who’ll halt at nothing to acquire kids for their dad’s disturbing experiments. This tongue-in-cheek De Palma work that gives nods to Hitchcock, Welles, and Michael PowelI is laced with satire. Cast includes John Lithgow, Lolita Davidovich, Steven Bauer, Frances Sternhagen, and Gregg Henry. RT. (95 minutes, 1992)

Addams Family Values: The Addams family is back again with all the ghouls in force. This time a beautiful woman plans to marry cousin ‘It’ to swindle him out of his money. Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd, Joan Cusack, and Christina Ricci star. (1993 comedy directed by Barry Sonnenfeld)

The Great Lie: Brent weds Davis after breaking off an engagement with Astor. Astor is carrying his child. He is lost in a plane crash, leaving Davis and pregnant Astor to battle each other and all the complications. Cast includes Mary Astor, Bette Davis, George Brent, Lucile Watson, Hattie McDaniel, Permit Mitchell, and Jerome Cowan. (107 minutes, 1941)

Delirious: An astonishingly foolish comedy with a nice premise. A beleaguered soap opera author gets a conk on the head and fantasizes that he’s living in his own story in a heroic role that allows him to have his way with the lady he worships in the real word. Cast includes John Candy, Mariel Hemingway, Emma Samms, David Rasche, Charles Rocket, Raymond Burr, and Dylan Baker. (96 minutes, 1991)

Another 48 Hours: The team from 48 Hours is back in action. Ex con Reggie Hammond, now freed from prison, is coerced by Detective Jack Gates to help him with another problem. Gates has been hunting an elusive powerful drug dealer. He needs Reggie’s help to catch this guy.

South of Heaven West of Hell: Normal Western plot line of redemption pits marshal Yoakam in a battle against his old outlaw gang, led by Bible-toting patriarch Askew. Cast includes Dwight Yoakam, Vince Vaughn, Billy Bob Thornton, Bridget Fonda, Peter Fonda, Paul Reubens, Bud Cort, Bo Hopkins, Matt Clark, Noble Willingham, Scott Wilson, Luke Askew, Michael Jeter, Joe Ely, and Warren Zevon. (127 minutes, 2000)

Navy Seals: Navy Seals go into the Mid-East to rescue captured US pilots. During this successful rescue, the Seals observe that the enemy terrorist have Stinger missiles in their possession. With no time to destroy the missiles, they leave them behind and complete the rescue mission. We need to recover these weapons before terrorists have the chance to use them.

The Page Turner: A 1O-year-old gal who is committed to becoming a piano genius auditions for a music scholarship, but is turned down by the dean of the school. 10 years later she puts herself into the same ladies home, gets the family to trust her, and plans her revenge. Cast includes Catherine Frot, Deborah Francois, Pascal Gregory, Xavier de Guillebon, Christine Citi, and Jacques Bonnaffe. (85 minutes, 2006)

Okay, if you’re looking for downloads, try phrases like “Video Rentals”. Not all searches get the right result. If the first one fails to work out try another one. Try “Music Downloads Services” next.

The Atkins Grapefruit Diet.

September 30th, 2009
by Frank Williams

The Atkins Grapefruit diet is a diet plan, not supported by the estate of Dr. Atkins, that hopes to play on the popularity of the grapefruit diet and the Atkins diet name. However, a closer look into this diet shows that it may not be all it claims to be.

First of all, it’s pretty difficult to any find information on the Atkins grapefruit diet plan at all. Smart people know that when someone is carrying out a deception, or a con, they will often gloss over the facts. This is what the Atkins grapefruit diet seems to be doing in an attempt to get people to associate it with two supposedly effective diets.

Is the Atkins Grapefruit Diet part of the Atkins Diet or endorsed by the late Dr. Atkins’ firm? The answer is a loud no! But, not only is there no mention of the Atkins Grapefruit Diet on the Atkins web site, there is just no fruit of any sort mentioned in the list of allowed foods in the Atkins diet Induction phase either.

The induction phase includes the following foods: Fish of all kinds. All fowl such as turkey and chicken. Any shellfish. Any meat such as beef or pork. Eggs cooked in any style including fried. Cheese. Vegetables. Herbs and Spices. Fats and Oils. Low carbohydrate beverages including diet soft drinks.

Please, notice one thing – that fruit is not on that list at all! Later phases of the Atkins diet do include limited amounts of fruits such as cantaloupe and even lemon juice, and the pre-maintenance and maintenance phases even allow small quantities of grapefruit, but when looked at in comparison with the amount of Grapefruit recommended on the Atkins Grapefruit Diet there is a huge discrepancy.

The Atkins Grapefruit Diet recommends a cup of grapefruit juice or a cup of grapefruit sections, with 8 and 18 carbs respectively. Even the most liberal phases of the Atkins diet recommends restricting intake to below 8 carbs per day, when it comes to grapefruit. That’s a direct contradiction from one plan to the other.

Most sensible people would turn to the Atkins website itself the moment they heard of the Atkins Grapefruit Diet and when they found no reference of that diet on their site, a red light would flash and an alarmbell would sound.

In general, remember that any plan that relies too heavily on one type of food, such as grapefruit in a grapefruit diet, is unhealthy for any but extremely short periods. The Atkins Grapefruit Diet is not associated with the Atkins diet, and could interfere with the results of the Atkins diet, especially in its early phases.
