Visio CT14 (2012): Full Review of the company’s first computer – Part 1

Visio, the computer display makers have officially entered the laptop OEM industry with release of the new Visio CT14, first of the two super-slim notebooks launched by the company  a couple of months ago. The new CT14 is a great device for a number of reasons. If you take into consideration the company and its […]

Samsung UN32EH4000F (2012): Full Review – Part 4

While the TV lacks advanced colour controls, the colour I was able to get out of it was the best of our small, 32-inch group. Colours were natural-looking and well-saturated, and skin tones were as true as you could expect from a $300 TV. Even in the mono-colour palettes of “Star Trek,” the strong blues […]

Samsung UN32EH4000F (2012): Full Review – Part 3

The Samsung was the best in our line-up of 32-inch TVs in terms of absolute black, and only the 46-inch D630 had a deeper black level. If you want reference-level blacks, you’re obviously in the wrong place, but for a bedroom TV, the blacks were perfectly acceptable. Where the EH4000 really excelled was in shadow […]

Samsung UN32EH4000F (2012): Full Review – Part 2

As the Samsung EH4000 costs the same as buying a couple of peripherals for the company’s flagship sets, you can’t expect much in the way of features. Like the other 32-inchers we tested, the Samsung has a 720p (1,366×768-pixel) resolution, but it will accept a 1080p signal. At this screen size, you won’t notice the […]

Samsung UN32EH4000F (2012): Full Review – Part 1

There is no doubt in the fact that all eyes are gazing the upcoming Apple television, so called iTV for the reason it was an idea hatched by Late Steve Jobs. However, there are also speculations in the air that the price of the new television will fall somewhere near $1500, making it another premium […]

BMW 335i (2012): Full Review – Part 5

Given the car’s unsuitability for enthusiastic driving, its various electronics systems became my primary focus. Those included an around-view camera system, very convenient for maneuvering in tight spaces. Not only does it show a top-down view on the car’s LCD, but also has a rearview camera with active trajectory lines and a front split view, […]

BMW 335i (2012) Full Review – Part 4

For this generation of 335i, BMW earned EPA fuel economy ratings of 23 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. In my mix of city and freeway driving, the car turned in a very respectable 28 mpg. Some of that very good fuel economy is due to the eight-speed automatic transmission, a no-cost option over the […]

BMW 335i (2012): Full Review – Part 3

In this type of intensive driving, the 335i tended to understeer, something I never would have expected in a BMW. The steering wheel seemed lifeless, merely serving as a control mechanism rather than offering the tied-to-the-road feeling found in other BMW models. Just as different color choices could have saved the cabin, an optional package […]

BMW 335i (2012): Full Review – Part 2

However, opening the door I was greeted by an ocean of beige in the same shade as old computers, a color that was meant to be inoffensive in offices of the 1980s and ’90s. From leather to plastic surfaces, all was tinted in this excruciatingly oppressive beige. Looking to the instrument cluster for some relief, […]

BMW 335i (2012): Full Review – Part 1

The new 335i has an efficient 3-litre engine that gives the best performance and fastest speeds in this car and price range. On the inside, the car has up-to-date cabin tech with connected car features like Twitter and Facebook. The phone can be connected to the car for calling and audio streaming. The options available […]

Microsoft already has spurred commotion in the market with its Surface tablets

Microsoft has taken a big and bold step at manufacturing its own tablets and plunging into the OEM business for the first time in over three decade company history. There is no doubt that the pre-announcement of the Surface tablets, both Pro and RT, was mind-boggling. The Pro is certainly capable of capturing the ultrabook […]

Facebook Stock Performance: Mark Zuckerberg and Wall Street are of different frames of mind

Facebook is the thick of losing money on the Street. The company went public in May, other than the starting day, when its price went up to as much as $41 per share, it has not lifted up from the ground. And what followed the sloppy start was a slew of court cases against the […]
