Archive for the ‘Editorial’ Category Camcorders, HD vs SD If you are in the market for a new Camcorder, or even your first, now is an exciting time to buy. However, the explosion of products now available can make things tough; which one should you buy? One of the first choices youll come up against is whether to buy HD or SD. Let our short guide help you make the decision, and move a little closer to owning the right camcorder for you. How much Camcorder Memory? Gone are the days where the length of your Camcorder f ootage is governed by the length of tape in your machine. These days the amount, and quality, of recordings is dependent upon the amount of memory available to you. There are a wide range of digital camcorders now available, and a wide range of memory types and sizes to go with them. If you are looking to invest in a new camcorder one of your main considerations should be memory, and this short guide is a good place to start working out exactly what you need. Panasonic Pure Line TV Panasonic have recently launched a new range of LCD flat screen TVs called Pure Line. Available in satin silver, silky white or shiny purple the Pure Line TV range has developed beyond the standard matt black TV casing. Their casing finish means that the exact appearance of the colour changes depending on the rooms lighting. With a design such as this, your interior should always match your TV. BigFoot Networks MD of Marketing Interview While we may have been around for almost half a decade at this point, XSReviews and its writers still seem to have a bit of an independant status. While this does make us a feel a bit more cool at staff meetings, it does mean we don’t tend to rub shoulders with the big names in the hardware game that often. However, a few days ago I was given the chance to chat to none other than the VP of Marketing at BigFoot networks, the break out NIC manufacturer that has been producing some interesting products in the past few years that purport to make a big difference to online gaming. His name’s John Drewry – which did make for some interesting moments when the mediator PR girl said “Was that alright Jon?” – and I spent an hour or so dicussing where BigFoot is now, what their products are all about and where he sees the company and the industry going in the future. Cryo PC Interview Here at XSReviews, while we mostly review individual PC components we sometimes take a peek at full system builds. One company we’ve worked with in the past is CryoPC who produce some seriously impressive high end gaming rigs. Today we speak with head honcho Alan Johnson who tells us all about the system building process and what it’s like to run a custom PC production firm. Panasonic 3D Camcorder Home camcorders have been recording family moments since the 1960s. Whether it was a birthday party, a wedding, or Christmas, there always seemed to be a relative capturing it all on video. With the advent of websites such as Youtube, home movies have developed beyond the realms of family events and have become more imaginative and professional. Rather than just recording Aunt Di blowing out the candles, people are making entire animations out of Lego, spoofing their favourite music video, and creating their own mini movies. With this new creative drive behind home movie making, home film makers are looking for increasingly advanced technology in order to make more exciting and professional films; something which has just been provided by Panasonic in the form of the 3D camcorder. Gadget Show Live 2010 Press Morning Before things really got started at the Gadget Show Live on the 7th, the XSR team were lucky enough to visit the Press Morning which allowed us to wander around and checkout the stands and exhibits before Joe public showed up. This gave us a great chance to scout out the show before really getting into it with some of the manufacturers and stand owners. So here’s a short article with some rather empty looking stands. Look out for some of our fellow journos you may recognise, and a gadget show presenter or two. Ladies of Gadget Show Live While it doesn’t do us much credit as tech-heads that we feel the need to showcase the female faces we see at trade shows, there’s something wonderful – and traffic gathering – about having booth babe, or “girls of…” articles, so here’s out latest one. Ladies, and (more likely) gents, may I present to you the lovely ladies of Gadget Show Live 2010. Nerd Fitness: Part 1 – Getting Started The online world is a weird one, as in some respects we all revert back to stereotypes. Partly for humour, and partly because we don’t know each other very well. Typically one of them is that us nerds, geeks and gamers are all fat, lazy, out of shape messes and considering how this is contrasted with the intrinsic hotness of the girl geek, it seems a little unfair. Now of course there are ways around this. You can hit the gym, get a running machine, drink diet shakes, there’s plenty you can do to get in shape to break through the stereotype, but it’s a little boring. So what can we do to buff up while still maintaining our geeky persona? How can we get fit, while utilising our god given talents as nerds to make the experience fun and interesting? Gentleman, I present to you XSR’s guide to Nerd Fitness: Part 1, Getting started. Online Security Threats Although the internet can be a wonderful place, it can also be the home of multiple threats; there are two main variants of internet virus, called malware and spyware. Although they work in the same way, the difference is the effect they each have on your computer. Malware is a malicious virus that aims to change the way your computer works, and/or do significant damage. Malware viruses can vary from those that will damage your hardware to those that will damage the files and software stored on your computer.
