Does not work
2009-01-05Used it for 4 months and it doesnt work anymore - no sound is transmitted at all. Did its job while it lasted!

Great for the price
2009-01-02This headset is great for the price but you do get what you pay for. It fits comfortably around my head and when I'm using my house phone the people I'm on the phone with hear me perfectly. The main con I have for this headset is the when the wiring that connects the headset to the phone gets moved around or tangled the connection begins to static until you move it around until it clears up. For me it tends to happen relatively frequently since I walk around when I am on the phone so it does get a bit annoying, even when I am just sitting around as well. Other than that its a good buy.

Broke after a month
2008-12-29Headband was stiff and unwieldy, arm of mouthpiece didn't bend very well, and I had numerous complaints about my voice sounding 'far away' and tinny a lot of the time.
After using it for a month the size-adjusting band simply cracked while on my head, leaving the entire right side (the one with the mouthpiece) to dangle. The only thing keeping it from falling to the ground was a slightly larger bit of plastic at the end of the adjustment track.
As I do not favor a headset featuring a large section of duct tape I will be buying another type of headset!

Panasonic Headset, could be more comfortable...but
2008-12-24I like it when I am busy and need my hands, I wish the head part was softer but hey what do you want for the price, the sound is great and does get rid of the noise others hear...pretty good

A nice accessory
2008-12-22This product has good sound quality, I like the adjustable boom mic and have nothing bad to say. I've only had it a couple of weeks so time will tell if holds up well.

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents.
In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
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 ...
