Un guide pratique, concret et facile : à lire absolument!

Ce livre m’a plu tout de suite : tout d’abord, chacun se trouve désarmé devant AirBnB et on ne sait pas quoi faire pour rentrer dans une spirale “vertueuse”. A la lecture de ce livre , on est très rapidement séduit par tout d’abord par le ton employé par l’auteur : simple, efficace, mais aussi chaleureux, rempli d’exemples afin d’illustrer et mieux comprendre. Bref : on prend plaisir à dévorer… Read Article →

Requires gel for wetting or won’t function, misleading advertising on included features

I’ve edited my review, upgrading it from 1 to 2 stars and cancelled return of the product after discovering that while no amount of NORMAL wetting (sweat, water) will get the sensor to function, a conductive jelly such as that used on electrodes in hospitals for EKGs or (ahem, forgive the impropriety) “personal lubricants” will do the job quite well. While you may feel ridiculous squirting KY Jelly on your… Read Article →

Smart Looking Drinks Coasters

My partner bought these and we have now been using them for enough time for me to write a review on them. Admittedly I would not have bought them myself but if you do like slate then these may be on your shortlist as they are good quality and we have not had any problems with them. They do not mark the surfaces that you place them on and they… Read Article →

Must buy for dystopian style lovers

I wasn’t so sure that I would really enjoy this one, but I honestly did. Its kind of sci-fi advance genetics but also seemed a bit dystopian in style to me too, which was great. There’s mystery, nail biting suspense, action and even murder in this book, as well as a little awkward teenage romance. How long did it take me to read this book? Just three sittings, I truly… Read Article →

Not so bad at all – quite good actually

Wanted to learn some physics, heard about Feynman, bought the book and managed to learn a few things… One thing I didn’t like is that he believes that everything is physics and the other sciences are just a branch (with mathematics not being a science at all) but that is just a flavor of his personal beliefs and it doesn’t reflect his teaching skills. Starting with atoms and what was… Read Article →

Power flex yoga pants are the new under armour

I have not had the opportunity to work out in these puppies yet but they passed the ever infamous “bend over” test with flying colors, so I’m pretty happy about that. Having said that, compared to my under armour compression leggings/workout pants, I can hardly tell the difference, besides the price of course. There are a few things that should be clarified, though. 1. People say these leggings “run small”… Read Article →

Gioco carino ma non MOLTO originale

Questo gioco ha un genere assai sfruttato sul social network che è l’unione di blocchi su un quadro così da liberarlo e finire tutto. In questo gioco c’è l’aggiunta di liberare e cercare di farlo nel modo più delicato possibile, un gruppo d’animali che si trova nello schermo. Un’aggiunta carina, ma non ugualmente molto eccitante. la grafica è carina, cartoon e morbida. Il suono è decente e al livello con… Read Article →

Great playback features

** UPDATE: The alternate decoder now plays my H265 videos again in HW+. I’m not sure what changed, whether my fiddling got it just right, or it was the recent Fire OS 5.3.2 update. I now have no reservations on this player. Does everything I want. Works very well for compressed h264 and pretty well for h265. Earlier in the year (2016), I was able to apply hardware acceleration for… Read Article →

Very impressed with this phone for the price.

bought this phone for my wife when her other phone recently died. I did not want to pay $300+ again for a smart phone that can easily be broken or lost. A lot of money to blow on something so small. I didn’t need all the latest greatest features, but a phone that was relatively new with an up to date OS, a decent size and screen and a decent… Read Article →

WILL MOST LIKELY NOT WORK WITH YOUR IPHONE 5/5S

ONLY ORIGINAL APPLE CABLES WORK WITH NEW APPLE DEVICES (iPhone 5 range, etc). With every “compatible” cable I bought from Amazon and eBay, my iPhone 5S just says “This cable is not certified and may not function correctly with this device” – and of course it DOES NOT WORK – you can’t even charge the phone with a non-APPLE cable. After buying countless “iOS7 compatible” USB-Lightning cables, the ONLY cable… Read Article →
