Good Speaker for the Price
2008-09-20These speaker are not as powerful as I had hoped but definitely get the job done. They are great speakers for the price. Shipping was quick and got here on time. No complaints.

TRASH, TRASH, TRASH
2008-08-02DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
They are so low you can hardly hear them.
Just add $10 and buy Sony SRS-TP1. They sound MUCH BETTER, do not require any batteries, either, and are more portable.

Great for quiet spaces
2008-04-28I use these every day at my place of work. They're easily audible (run from an iPod) in the quiet room. I am getting another pair for listening to audio from my Palm when I'm at home.
In. A. Quiet. Room.
These speakers are *not* amplified in any way (which is why they have no plug, which is great when you've got to be really portable). That means they are practically useless in average noise environments. For example, a car. They're not much good outside unless you're right on top of them.
But for indoor use in quiet areas, they're small and low-profile.

Okay for iPod, LOUSY for laptop
2008-02-18When they say "Passive," they're not kidding -- As many of the 1-star reviews have stated, these are actually quieter (read: barely audible) than laptop internal speakers. Although they did kick out a little more sound from an iPod Nano than if you plugged in headphones and cranked to to eleven. Moral of the story: if you plan on listening in a fixed location, get a set of powered speakers; if you plan on listening to an mp3 player on the go, these will do a mediocre job for just ten bucks. There is likely a better bargain speaker out there though.

Finding the Right Digital Camera
By Dave Etchells
Finding the Right Digital Camera
The overall goal of the Imaging Resource website (www.imaging-resource.com) is to help people chose and use digital imaging technology as effectively as possible. As simple as they are to use, choosing the right digital camera involves a number of decisions. Key issues are computing platform, image quality, onboard image capacity, exposure versatility, feature set, and included software. In this article, we'll lead you step-by-step through some of the issues to consider in making a purchase decision, and at the same time, suggest some things to look for in the test images we've collected on our website.
We're interested in your feedback and experience! We invite you to elaborate on this article by leaving comments via the database link at the bottom of the page. You can also give feedback in our "Forum" discussion-group section.

Core 2 Duo Scaling
Laptop Scaling
Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between?
This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck.
Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature.
The Core 2 Duo Processor
Intel has two lines of Core 2 Duo processors: notebook and desktop. Core 2 Duo for notebooks is codenamed Merom, while Core ...
