Avatar Review or How High-Def Ruined the Cinema for Me
I don’t go to the cinema that often; the last film I saw there was Terminator: Salvation. In that time, there’s been a lot of hi-definition gaming, upscaled DVDs, digital downloads and blu rays and maybe – just maybe – I’ve become spoiled.
I went to see Avatar last night; normally I’d wait until it was out on blu ray or digital delivery, but my mate insisted that it needed to be seen on a huge screen for the full experience. I have no idea why I listen to him, but I did. I paid £8.45, paid another fiver for some sweets and a drink and sat through half an hour of adverts which only featured two trailers (both for romantic comedies too – are we really that far from any good releases?), only to be disappointed.
TechThursday Reviews: The Elonex eReader
The postman has finally turned up with the gadget we were supposed to be reviewing last TechThursday, so apologies for this one being a little late, but today we’re going to be reviewing the
Elonex eReader.
TechThursday Reviews – Sony PSP Go!
We’re going to be attempting to bring some kind of structure to this crazy blog in the next couple of weeks; we’ve got a lots of ranting to do, lots of Coke Zero induced panicking about CCTV and then we’ve got our ongoing tech reviews and rediscovering great pieces of music that you may have missed the first time around, and just throwing these at you whenever we feel like doing one makes us at Caffeine Overdose feel a little mean, to be honest. So here’s how we’re going to try and make things work: Monday will be Unappreciated Gems and Thursday will now be known as TechThursday and we’re going to try and get a Twitter Trending Topic out of it because they wind Ben up so much – #TechThursday, you know you want to!
Reviews – Acer Revo R3600 Media PC
Aimed at the user who wants to centralise all their media players on a budget, the Acer Revo is one of the handy new range of ‘Nettop’ PC’s, but is it as useful as the idea suggests?
Reviews – Klipsch Image X5 Earphones
At Caffeine Overdose, we love all kinds of technology; from phones to cars, and that’s what this category is all about. We’ll review almost anything we can get our hands on (mostly from Ben’s extensive and ongoing collection of stuff he doesn’t need but can manage to convince himself he does), but if you’ve got a product you’d like reviewed, send one to us* and we’ll do our best to give it a fair unbiased hearing.
* You will not get it back!
With that out of the way, here’s our first review: Ben’s Klipsch Image X5 Earphones.
