Mercedes-Benz C-class review - 2009 C300 in depth tour and review

Mercedes-Benz C-class review

Today we are going to take a look at one of Mercedes-Benz best sellers. The C-class is probably the most popular of all Mercedes cars. In this video review you can take a closer look at 2009 Mercedes C300, which is sold mostly in US. Mercedes Benz C300 has nice clean design lines but interior is a bit plastic and not well suited for this kind of business vehicle. The 2009 Mercedes C300 has a 3.0 liter engine producing 228 h.p. and is offered with a 7-speed automatic transmission.

Cirtex Hosting web hosting review

Cirtex WEB hosting review

CIRTEXHOSTING is a clear example of bad hosting services

Cirtex web hosting review - today we are going to review one of the worst hosting companies we've ever came up on. Cirtex Hosting is based in the US and they claim they offer premium hosting services like shared hosting, VPS and dedicated services. Unfortunately these services are far from premium and choosing a hosting company like this one may lead to many problems.
To start with their shared servers are real disaster. Useres often find out that some of their sites hosted on Cirtex shared servers are down for days with no reason at all. It is very often that you find your site with a 500 or 508 error message as well. These are thanks to very low limits of their shared services, no matter it says another thing on your hosting plan.
Their 99.9% uptime guarantee is anything else but achievable, probably a dream result that Cirtex hosting may reach one day (in the far future).
Cirtex Hosting 24/7 support is not any better. Most of the time you will get some copy-paste messages saying everything is fine at their end and your sites are up and online, even though all ping monitors may show the opposite.
As a conclusion we would say we find their services unreliable and from 1 to 10 we would give Cirtex a score of 2 (they have a color website after all).
Our advice is STAY AWAY from hosting services like these.

BMW X5

BMW X5 review

BMW X5 E70

BMW X5 is often rated as one of the best SUVs on the market. Since it first came out back in 1999 BMW X5 is top choice for 4x4 lovers. This SUV impresses with great handling on and off road and offers excellent comfort for any taste. The X5 has a sporty character but it is very functional as well. X5 offers plenty of space for driver and passengers and has a big boot as well. Most X5s are manufactured in South Carolina at the Spartanburg BMW plant and some in Toluca, Mexico.
BMW X5 offers wide range of engine choices - gassoline and diesels. A hybrid model is expected very soon. The sportiest of all X5s is the M version which has a 4.4 liter Twin Turbo engine producing 555 h.p.
The latest X5s are offer either with 6-speed or with 8-speed automatic transmissions
A new version of the X5 is expected to replece the amazing E70 model. Currently the main competitors for BMW X5 are Mercedes ML, Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne.

Honda Insight

Honda Insight hybrid

Honda Insight is one of those cars that should be considered a breaktrough in car manufacturing. It is the most advanced and popular hybrid model by Honda and has been on the car market for more than two years now (the new 2008 model).

It should have been a strong competitor to Toyota's Prius and the newcommer Chevy Volt (Opel Ampera) but is it really competing or just reasearching a market that's still to develop and expand.
Honda Insight uses a 1.0 regular gasoline engine with 67 hp and an 13 hp electric motor that acts as a generator when decelerating.
Honda Insight has an average consumption of 3.9 liters per 100 km which is around 73 mpg. These results are good but most modern diesel cars are already there.
The Insight has nice modern looking exterior, with a shape very similar to Toyota Prius but a bit more conservative with more curves and angles. The interior is nicely fitted, roomy and functional. The Insight is a 5 passenger car and trunk space is more than enough.

Honda Insight interior

Honda Insight is a real bestseller in Japan and is one of the best-selling cars on Japanese car market - over 100 000 units sold.
No matter if we like it or not hybrid vehicles are already part of our transportation choices and it's just a matter of time and development for hybrids to become more efficient and affordable. Currently Honda Insight is one of the best and most preffered hybrid cars together with the Prius and the Volt.

Babolat Pure Drive lite - my tennis racket review

Pure Drive lite is a high end tennis racket from one of the best tennis manufacturers Babolat. Pure Drive lite is a lightweight tennis racket best suited for women professionals who seek the best balance between comfort and power.

Lenovo G570 review

G570 is not one of the high end laptops from the ThinkPad series that Lenovo is very well known for. This is a fast, well build laptop that is going to do all the basic stuff with ease. It suits best for a student laptop or home user. For business users we would recommend some of the old fashioned and exceptionally equipped ThinkPad models with no glossy finish.

Kindle Fire vs Nook Tablet

Kindle Fire vs Nook Tablet

Kindle Fire vs Nook Tablet

Text by Chloe Albanesius / PCmag

In the battle between the Amazon Kindle Fire and the Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet, the Fire has a slight edge over the Nook, with about 39.5 percent of PCMag readers saying they have bought or will buy Amazon's $199 tablet.
Of the 8,808 readers who answered yesterday's poll (below), about 29 percent selected the Nook Tablet, while 39.5 percent went with the Kindle Fire.
In the comments, most buyers felt it came down to storage; if you need to access your content on the go or when you're not connected to the Web, go for the Nook Tablet. If you like Amazon's services and can connect to take advantage of the Silk browser, Amazon Prime, and more, the Fire is a good choice.
"Kindle Fire is mostly for people who doesn't go out too much with the tablet or always goes to a place with Wi-Fi. Nook Tablet it's for outsiders and people who is always on the move (also for people who loves hacking it with the latest Android releases)," wrote one reader.
"I like the Amazon AppStore, but that doesn't make the Fire worth it," wrote another.
One longtime Prime member who was on her second Kindle, however, said she had "sold family and friends on it and have already ordered my Fire, can't wait to get it!!!"
Not everyone is on the Nook or Fire bandwagon. About 12.5 percent, or 1,106 people, said they prefer the iPad, regardless of the price difference. About 4 percent were going the other way, opting for the $79 Kindle or $99 Nook. Another 11 percent, meanwhile, were still holding out for something more compelling, like the Asus Transformer Prime. Eight people wrote in the HP TouchPad, but they'll likely be waiting awhile.
The results come as Amazon today announced that the Kindle Fire newsstand will have more than 400 full-color newspapers. Those who subscribe before March 1 will get three free months to 17 Conde Nast magazines like Vanity Fair, GQ, Wired and Glamour.
The Nook Tablet debuts on Nov. 17 and the Kindle Fire is coming Nov. 15. For more, see Amazon Kindle Fire vs. B&N Nook Tablet vs. Nook Color: Spec Showdown, as well as PCMag's Kindle Fire review and hands-on look at the Nook Tablet.

Porsche Cayenne test drive and review

Porsche Cayenne test drive and review

Porsche Cayenne test drive

Today we are going to test drive one of the fastest SUV currently on the market. Porsche Cayenne is one of the most desirable cars in its class as well. The new model has design a bit too soft for some Porsche customers but design is not the main thing about this SUV. It's the driving experience you get once you get it on the open road. Porsche Cayenne has an impressive handling that is better than most average sedan cars. For the new model line Porsche decided to play it eco-friendly and brought a diesel and a hybrid in the model range.
Here is a short test drive of the more powerful Porsche Cayenne Turbo, the softer S model and the 'economy' hybrid model. Share and enjoy

Canon PowerShot S95

Canon PowerShot S95 camera review

Canon PowerShot S95 review

This is one of the best point and shoot digital cameras we've tested so far.

Canon introduces the top-of-the-line digital camera PowerShot S95 as an upgrade to the S90. The ultra-slim, ultra-intelligent S95 is loaded with all a serious photographer's must-haves, including a bright f/2.0 Wide-Angle Lens, RAW shooting, a number of shooting modes and effects for ultimate creativity, and professional-style control ring for intuitive manual control. On-board Canon’s HS System, a combination of a high-sensitivity 10.0 Megapixel CCD sensor and powerful DIGIC 4 processor, provides exceptional low light performance. The new S95 is also upgraded with Canon's Hybrid IS for blur-free shooting even close-up, and capability of 720p HD video recording with stereo sound. Performance, flexibility and portability merged, now it’s time to step up to PowerShot S95.

Canon PowerShot S95 features

CANON HS SYSTEM - The Canon PowerShot S95 employs the Canon HS SYSTEM by combining a high-sensitivity 10.0 Megapixel CCD sensor and Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor to deliver spectacular images with minimal noise. With a new maximum setting of ISO 12,800, the S95 notably reduces blur and camera shake for the ultimate in sharpness and clarity.

720P HD SHOOTING AND PLAYBACK VIA HDMI - The Canon PowerShot S95 is capable of recording video in stunning high definition (1280 x 720 pixels) with stereo sound. The camera also makes it easy to enjoy HD videos (and still photos) on your HDTV with a mini-HDMI connector for direct connection to a high-definition TV monitor.

LARGE, BRIGHT F/2.0 APERTURE - The Canon PowerShot S95 sports an f/2.0 aperture, perfect for creating enticing portraits, by drawing attention to the face and blurring the background with its impressively shallow depth-of-field. The Macro setting lets you get even closer. Additionally, the large aperture lets you capture more nuances in low light shooting by using more of the available light. You'll be ready for anything with a lens aperture larger than even many professional sizes.

CONTROL RING FOR INTUITIVE OPERATION - More intuitive and quicker than the usual 2-button control, the Canon PowerShot S95's control ring lets you adjust Focus, Exposure, ISO, Step Zoom, or White Balance more precisely than ever.

3.8X OPTICAL ZOOM WITH OPTICAL IS & 28MM WIDE-ANGLE LENS - he Canon PowerShot S95 features Canon's precision 28mm Wide-Angle 3.8x Optical Zoom Lens that allows you to shoot most scenes from wide-angle to telephoto. When it's time to take a closer look, the Canon Optical Image Stabilizer helps minimize camera shake and reveal almost every detail.

CANON HYBRID IS - By employing both an angular sensor and an accelerometer, Canon's highly advanced Hybrid IS corrects camera shake from two sources (the blur caused by the angle of the camera and the "shift blur" that happens when your subject moves parallel to the camera), delivering sharp, blur-free images even when you zoom in close to your subject.

All features: 10.0 Megapixel sensor combined with the DIGIC 4 Image Processor create Canon's HS SYSTEM for improved low light performance and better image quality.
Shoot beautiful 720p HD video in stereo sound and play back on an HDTV via the HDMI output.
A bright f/2.0 lens, great for shooting portrait photography in low light conditions or using a shallow depth-of-field for great images with beautiful soft backgrounds.
A control ring for intuitive manual control, built for the way the serious photographer has always accessed exposure control.

Full range of shooting and recording modes including RAW + JPEG for the ultimate creative control.
A 3.8x Optical Zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer, plus a 28mm Wide-Angle Lens gets you close to your subjects as well as capture more in your frame.
Utilizes Canon's Hybrid IS to compensate for angular and shift camera shake during close-up shooting.

Verdict
Canon PowerShot S95 is an amazing pocket camera but the price is still too high. It also lacks some of the features of our favorite Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX9V, which we still think is the best at this price range (300-400$)

Hyundai i30 test drive and review

Hyundai i30

Today we are going to test drive and review one of Hyundai's best selling models. The i30 is a big competitor in the so called 'Golf class'. Hyundai i30 design doesn't make it stand out from the crowd but build quality and 5-year warranty make a very good deal. Price of base models is very low and that makes it even more desirable.

Here is a short Hyundai i30 test drive pointing out its main advantages and disadvantages.

Hyundai i30 test drive and review - video

It's competitively priced, but the Hyundai i30 is not a budget car - it's much better than that! In fact, it was placed top in the 2010 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, with owners heaping praise on the car's quality, reliability and low running costs. While it doesn't quite offer the same sense of class or quality as a VW Golf - or offer the styling flair of a Honda Civic - it feels built to last. What's more the engine line-up is economical and the cabin is comfortable and spacious. Add to that a five-year unlimited mileage warranty and the i30 is well worth considering.

Hyundai i30 interior is nothing special, mainly functional with easy access to all basic controls

There is already new model update of the i30 for 2012. The all new Hyundai i30 has bolder and more agressive design and compared to the old model. It will have wider range of engines as well.

Nokia 500 review

The Nokia 500 is the mass production of the new Nokia Symbian line, as it has the lowest specs out of the bunch announced in time for the holiday shopping craze. An affordable handset from Nokia with decent specs and some colorful battery covers thrown in to keep things exciting is usually a Finnish recipe for success among teens and in emerging markets.
