| Test iPhone 3G (vidéos, impressions etc …) | | 2008-07-18 04:00:08 | | A quelques heures de la sortie mondiale de l’iPhone 3G les journalistes commencent à avoir accès à l’iPhone 3G et proposent les premiers tests.

| | First impressions: Moving from Palm Treo 700wx to Treo 800w | | 2008-07-17 23:04:03 | | At last amongst all the iPhone hype, Palm released a new Treo after what seems like many years after the 700wx. While a lot of people will say that the looks aren’t that great compared to flashy devices like the iPhone and HTC Touch, and I’d have to agree that the Treo isn’t the greatest [...] | | By: smartphones of today | | |

| Shift lenses and Nikon TS-E 24/3.5 first impressions | | 2008-07-12 13:31:00 | | First impressions of the Nikon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 tilt/shiftThe 24 T/S is a bit chunky in size (as it must be to tilt and shift), but is a very nice handling lens. It is built to similar standards as the several-year old Nikon 85 f/2.8D PC-Micro-Nikkor tilt/shift. However, the new “PC-E” design offers electronic aperture control, a boon for usability on the D3/D300/D700, but a big disappointment for those of us who like to shoot Nikon lenses also on Canon EOS bodies via an adapter; the aperture cannot be controlled with such adapters.The good news is that optical performance is very high. Having used the Canon 24/3.5L T/S and the Olympus 24/3.5 shift (but not owning either at the moment) I suggest the following: the Nikon offering appears to be the best yet available in the 24mm tilt/shift realm. Congratulations Nikon! Color fringing is very well controlled (and completely eliminated by Capture NX 2), flare control is excellent, and color and detail rendition are high. However, when f | | By: DSLR CAMERAS ONLINE | | |

| Blood and screams: my Age of Conan impressions | | 2008-05-25 22:00:00 | | Abriael on Age of Conan Inserito originariamente da Abriael After the first twenty-something levels in Age of Conan i can finally write about my first impressions on the game. As soon as you enter the game, you're presented with one of the most complete character creation syetems i've seen in a role playing game, offline ones included. You get so many ways to customize your character that it's almost mind boggling. No two characters in Conan will really look the same, that's for sure, and that's awesome.During the first twenty levels you're stuck in Tortage Island, a pirate cove under the iron rule of a tyrant called Strom, that seems to hide a lot more than what a simple tyrant normally hides. On Tortage you'll play alongside the other players doing pretty normal quests (even too normal sometimes) during the day, while at night you'll pursue a quite long single player quest to find your own dstiny. A quest that's pretty much enjoyable, I have to say, pretty much on par with ma | | By: Classy Gamer | | |

| | | My first oxford high heel pumps - first impressions | | 2008-05-17 19:54:00 | | 5 1/2 inch oxford high heel pumps - first impressions....Here are some first photos of my new oxford style high heeled pumps. I just got these shoes yesterday - they really look very nice. Something different then my other high heels. These oxford style high heels are made of black leather and have again a 5 1/2 inch (14 cm) high heel. So I now own two shoes with such high heels. I was a very warm day, so I just put this shoes on bare feet. And, as far as I can tell already - these shoes are very comfortable as they are nearly boots. I really like them ;-). These three photos are just a first impression of my new pumps - will show you some more soon.... | | By: Higher Heel - a High Heels and Stockings Blog | | |
| | Iron-Man First Impressions | | 2008-04-27 14:41:00 | | With only four days left till its release, I got to play the playable demo of Iron-Man on the PlayStation 3 system and had a friend play it on Xbox 360. Both versions of the game look almost identical from what I've seen, Iron-Man looks detailed and shiny, backgrounds are rather large with some detail and enemies are totally bland. Before the mission starts players are given the chance to upgrade their armor a la Armored Core, but this option was out of question on the demo, because Tony was broke... Combat system works fine, though not great when fighting using IM's arsenal attached to his arms, but close up fighting is another story. I don't know maybe I didn't know how to put together a combo but he seems to be throwing the same punch over and over...never a one-two, so it leaves me not much to do but grab the tanks to rip them apart. And that is fine, it really is fine to rip the canon of a tank, but when there are twenty of them and I get the same clip of animation, it gets BORING | | By: Know Thy Game | | |
| | Company Stationery - Impressions count | | 2008-04-10 07:30:00 | | Everyone judges a business by first impressions. Very often first impressions come in the mail.How often have you done it yourself? Made a first judgement about a possible supplier, based on the written communications they send you. Are their letters and leaflets professionally printed on good quality, even glossy, paper? Do they use embossed and letterheaded paper or just plain white, even recycled paper? Do they have a graphic logo, or a tacky one that a teenager has designed on a home PC? Is the envelope printed with the company name, or do their letters arrive in thin and nondescript brown window envelopes?One of the essentials of business is to appear prosperous, even if the money is all borrowed. Without the appearance of prosperity, forget the idea of finding customers.Cheap paper, cheap envelopes and Do It Yourself headed paper are sure signs of a small company that cannot afford better.

| | Impressions: Capcom Digital Day Delivers Downloadable Delights - SendMeRSS | | 2008-03-14 01:49:56 | | Impressions: Capcom Digital Day Delivers Downloadable Delights SAN MATEO, California -- Kicking off the Digital Day press event this week, Capcom's Chris Kramer said that 2008 will be "the biggest single year in company history." That remains to be seen, but if its slate of spring and summer games is the yardstick, it's gotten off to a good start. Over the next few months, Capcom's "digital initiative," announced at last year's press briefing, will finally be in full swing. Capcom is using digital distribution to revive several of its lapsed franchises, like 1942 and Commando. The inexpensive nature of downloadable games, and the fact that Xbox Live Arcade gameplay typically hews close to classic arcade style, means that the company can take a chance and continue some classic game series without having to radically redesign the core concepts. While most other publishers are launching their downloadable games on single platforms, Capcom will launch all | | By: Online Games | | |
| | Pentax K20D First Impressions | | 2008-03-11 11:53:00 | | As discussed in the Launch Announcement just before PMA, the Pentax K20D is now surprisingly the highest resolution Digital SLR in its class of prosumer DSLRs. That statement doesn't really convey the real comparison since the only current camera with higher resolution than the 14.6 MP (megapixel) K20D is the $8000 Canon 1Ds III with a full-frame 21.1 MP image.The Pentax K20D has the highest resolution available in an APS-C sensor SLR. It is 20% higher resolution than the new Sony A700/Nikon D300 Sony sensor pair at 12.2 MP and almost 50% higher than the Canon 40D. Those are numbers that are hard to ignore.Those who wondered why Pentax entered into a partnership with Samsung a few years ago finally have their answer. Samsung wanted to play in the high-end sensor market with Sony and Panasonic; their partnership with Pentax was to develop sensors for the digital SLR market. We don't know details yet, but we have to guess the Hoya merger also plays into this scenario since Hoya is the wo | | By: DSLR CAMERAS ONLINE | | |

| | Nikon D3 Initial Impressions (my story) - long! | | 2008-02-14 10:47:00 | | For those not familiar with my prior posts and gear talk, back in the summer/fall of 2006 I switched to Nikon DSLRs (D2Xs) after being a Canon digital (10D, 20D, 1DMKIIn) and film (1V) shooter for many years. There were many reasons why I did this, but really the main reason was that the Nikon felt better in my hands to me than any Canon ever did. And handling is very important to me, especially when you are shooting for many hours. The controls should feel comfortable, the body should not bother you, etc. I had initially chosen Canon DSLRs (10D first) since I had the Canon film camera (1V). I had never even bothered to look at Nikon since I had Canon lenses. I went with familiar. But when I did look and play with the D2X (by chance), it just felt right at home for me, and I instantly loved it. Everything felt better and the controls more logical to me. Obviously a personal thing, but very important to me. At the time, and having come from a film background, high ISO noise didn't bothe | | By: DSLR CAMERAS ONLINE | | |
| | Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 First Impressions Review | | 2008-01-10 12:10:00 | | After a year-long stint as the company’s debut DSLR, the A100 finally has a successor. It isn’t much different, though: Sony markets it as "faster, lighter, and easier to use," according to their January 6 press release. The Sony α DSLR-A200 comes with the same 10.2 megapixels and many of the same features, like built-in optical image stabilization and dust removal systems. When the A100 was released a year ago, it sold for $899 with a kit lens. The new Sony A200 will still come with a lens, but will retail for much less at $699. It will be available in February.Physical TourFrontThe Sony DSLR-A200’s front looks very similar to its predecessor. It has the molded hand grip on the left with a thick divot near the top for the index finger. Also near the top is a sensor for the optional remote control. Behind it, the jog dial and shutter release button can be seen, although they are more visible from the top.To the right of the hand grip is the α A200 label, printed in white. The lens mount appears on the right half of the front like most DSLRs. Directly above the lens mount is the pop-up flash unit, which has a large Sony logo engraved into its front and is painted white against the stark black body. In the upper right corner of the front is an orange α label that resembles a fish; just a little more branding at work here. In the lower right corner is a label to show off the camera’s 10.2 megapixels. On the right edge of the lens mount is a large lens release button.more : digitalcamerainfo | | By: DSLR CAMERAS ONLINE | | |
| | Nikon D3 first impressions | | 2007-12-17 12:37:00 | | Nikon's most recent DSLR announcements were dominated by the debut of its first full-frame model, the D3. Sporting a 12.1 Megapixel ‘FX-format’ CMOS sensor, the new D3 made big claims over high sensitivity performance, and unlike Canon’s full-frame models, it could also accommodate lenses designed for its cropped-frame bodies – albeit with a cropped frame and at a reduced resolution.Nikon fanatics the world over are understandably excited about the D3, and Camera Labs forum moderator Thomas is no exception. Self-confessed Nikon ‘fanboy’ and passionate owner of a D80 and numerous lenses including his beloved DX 18-200mm VR, Thomas was particularly excited about checking out the new D3 for himself.So when the Nikon Solutions Expo came within 500km of his home town, we couldn’t hold him back. What follows is the second part of an interview between Thomas and Camera Labs Editor Gordon Laing after the show.

| | SimCity Societies: new screenshots and impressions | | 2007-08-16 23:55:38 | | Will Wright said it himself: SimCity is complicated. The series has always prided itself on its micromanagement but eventually, flexing the ol' executive muscle starts to feel more like work and less like playing god. No one actually dreams of being a city water commissioner, so why should you have to play one in a video game? SimCity Societies doesn't think you have to either.In an impromptu presentation, the Sims team at EA walked us through their latest city builder with a focus on accessibility. The act of zoning is gone entirely, leaving players to place their buildings one by one in order to lay our their city. That may sound contrary to the overall goal, but the structures themselves are the characters this time around. Each building comes with its own stats and attributes that more clearly affect the citizens of your city. Your choices are also tailored to your current societal path, which leaves much less room for confusion while still allowing for creative expansion.From th | | By: Online Games | | |
| | Wii Impressions | | 2007-07-25 22:02:56 | | BSD has been slow lately for a variety of reasons… my internet being sketchy, reading of the seventh Harry Potter, my getting used to my glasses and not having as much time to write lately. With two of those problems solved, I’ll try to get writing on a semi-regular basis, though I have no word on Caleb. Thanks to Paul, I’ve had a Nintendo Wii for the past couple of days and a whole bunch of games. While I haven’t played any of them long enough to actually “review” them, I just wanted to give my impressions on some of them and the console as a whole. I’ll probably do this again with some more games once I’ve played more. Oh, and I’m going to try to make it through this whole post without a penis joke, but I’m not guaranteeing anything. Wii SportsIt brings me back to the good old days when my Genesis came with Sonic the Hedgehog. While really more of a tech demo than anything I guess, it really is a fun collection of mini games. There are a few different modes for playing bowling, baseball, boxing and golf as well as multiplayer action. It is also a good way to get used to the controller, which I like, though am still not sure whether it is better in the long run than a traditional one. Baseball is only three innings long and you have no control over anyone but either the batter or the pitcher. Also, the fact that there is no changeup (though you can swing your arm slower on a fastball to throw it slower, but that gives your pitch away really), but there is a screwball, curveball and a slider I believe. Boxing is incredibly fun, against either the computer or another person. There is a training game where your instructor throws tennis balls at you, complete with hilarious sound effects when you get hit in the head with one that caused everyone I’ve seen play it (including myself) to laugh so much that it was impossible not to get hit with about five more tennis balls. Another of the training missions allows you to beat the living crap out of your instructor, which is also hilarious. All of the games are fun, though I think golf is a little frustrating because you cannot swing very hard without slicing horribly, but they get old after a while. I’m really looking forward to a real baseball game on the Wii, as batting with the wii-mote as you would bat in real life is incredibly fun. Sonic and the Secret RingsWell, I didn’t give this game much of a chance, but I’ve been giving Sega chance after chance with their damn 3D Sonic games and none of them are any good. They never got the switch from two dimensions right like Nintendo did with Mario. It’s sad because Sonic was always my favorite game as a kid. Anyhow, you hold the wii-mote like a normal controller and tilt it either way to move sonic… he jumps and collects rings and there are barriers or something. I didn’t even get past the first level, but it was just boring… I should probably give it another try, though. ElebitsUm… you’re some sort of little kid who has a “sob story” about hating Elebits or something because his parents don’t pay attention to him… All the characters look like “those precious moments” things according to Paul. So you run around with some sort of weird ghost buster’s like gun and shot little bunny rabbits with antennae on their heads to create electricity or something. I honestly wasn’t paying any damn attention to the storyline after the kid said “I hate Elebits!” in a really whiny voice. The fact you can open cupboards and pick things up with that gun kinda like in Destroy All Humans is cool. It’s neat to hurl objects about for a few levels, but after that it’s just very boring. Caleb enjoyed it a lot, but then again, he would. It just made me want to play Pikmin. Trauma Center: Second OpinionThis game is pretty awesome. You’re a surgeon and get to slice people open with the wii-mote and stitch the slices you made back up. You remove tumors and fix broken arms and inject some sort of magic drug into people that makes them not die on you. Using the scalpel was hard for me, and the storyline is sort of weak, but it’s a blast to play. Hearing Paul try to give the main character a Shaggy impression was pretty damn hilarious, but it’s hard to operate when you’re laughing. Hopefully there will be more to come… I’ve been playing Super Paper Mario, which I like a lot so far. I’m really looking forward to the new Smash Bros., Metroid Prime Corruption and Mario Galaxy, but those aren’t coming out for a while. | | By: Blast Shields Down | | |
| | | Voyage to China - Travel Impressions | | 2007-07-14 01:07:00 | | The trip from Macau to Guangzhou can be made by a bus of Kee Kwan Motor Road Company. It drops you at an outpost where after completing the immigration procedures, you go to an underground bus park, where you are taken by a Kee Kwan tourist bus coach to Guangzhou after a two-hour drive. Our hotel in Guangzhou was along a main road, which further away turned pedestrian in the evenings, with lots of young Chinese couples wandering among the shops or having food in the numerous pavement restaurants. At the riverfront, in the opposite direction, lots of Chinese can be found sitting on the benches or playing kites. The Shamian Islands can be reached from the centre by the underground railway, while the Pearl River separating the mainland to Shamian Island can be crossed by ferry. In the Yuexin Park there are lakes, flowers and music, with a splendid view of the mountain in the distance. The China Export Commodity Fair is nearby

| | Lasting Impressions in Subconscious Minds | | 2007-06-12 10:30:17 | | People having problems in dreaming and eventual sleep are often filled with various impressions that they get to see once they are in there meditative phase of relaxation. While most of us rarely recall the facets on why we had initially dreamt or thought of various things in our dreams, they are actually hangovers coming from what we see and think while we are still conscious.
Dreams are believed to be made from what people remember or would want to think. Ideally, people would have no idea on how these came about. But with the proper explanations as brought by this video excerpt, people may have a detailed understanding on how to understand why such dreaming habits were made and where they came from initially.
