Nokia has been a on roll with their Lumia Line of Smartphone. The Lumia 720 is a mid ranged device from Nokia hats sports some high-end features in a mid-range frame. The Lumia 720 is powered by a dual-core 1ghz processor with 512mb of ram, 8GB of storage with microsd expansion up to 64GB. The device looks and feels like a grown up Nokia N8 with its 4.3-inch clearblack display HD Front facing camera, with a 6.7 megapixel camera, which isn’t a pureview camera, but does produce some good stills and records at 720p.

 The Nokia Lumia 720 is light and sleek, priced at $299 without any contracts with is a great price range for a mid-ranged device. there is no wireless charging on the Lumia 720 but, that can be upgraded with a wireless back cover.  I liked the camera quality the Lumia 720 produced. The device is solid overall and offers a very good, and one I would recommend for anyone looking for a mid-ranged device.

The Wait is finally over, as a Superman fan. Its been way too long since we got a good superman movies. Which was last in the 80s with Superman II- ( please don’t mention Superman Returns. that was an abomination). Enter Man of Steel, directed by Zack Synder of the 300 and watchmen fame, written by David Goyer and Produced by Christopher Nolan. Now this review has no Spoilers so you can keep reading and watching.

So Man of Steel I absolutely loved it. this was a coming over age Superman Movie. A Movie about two fathers and a movie that should the importance of parentage and how that helps in molding character. Simply put Superman isn’t all powerful because of his DNA or our yellow Superman. That was the theme that resonated throughout this movie

Henry Cavill is Superman he embodied the role has Clark Kent on the Farm, Kal-el the Alien and eventually Superman. He was born for this role and nailed it perfectly. Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner as Jor-el and PA Kent were magnificent. You can truly see the men who molded Clark into Superman. Diane Lane was great as MA Kent even though she had little screen time. Michael Shannon as General Zod was menacing and had duty bound nature to his role but it was  but it was  Antje Traue as Faora that stole the show for me. In her little screen time and even fewer lines. All I have to say is I don’t want to even mess with her. then there is Amy Adams as Lois Lane, she was solid and to me more of the reporter than other version of  the character. Some may argue her presence wasn’t much felt. But this was a story about Clark Kent/kal-el become Superman and Not Lois & Clark Story.

The Action- one word epic. This is the one movie that will redefine who action is shot in comic book movies. You really felt the scale of Superman and the Kryptonians power and it was dam scary and I loved it. It was fierce and intense, with building getting wrecked left and right. I mean this movie had epicness written all over it.

Don’t get me wrong, Man of Steel isn’t perfect, it does suffer from some pacing issues; and some may argue that it didn’t have much humor to it, not a lot of other character development. But to that I say this was a realistic take on Superman in a film that asked the question how would you react if a Man Showed up that had all that power.

Overall Man Of Steel was a resounding success, in restarting the Superman franchise and leading to a justice league movie. Was it perfect? No. But it was an awesome movie, with everything you needed from emotional turns, to epic action like no we have seen on screen to date

Plus the app allow syou to set your listening type to take full advantage of the speakers.

In the growing genre of touch sensitive device, the all Table top PC is a small subset. While sharing the significant functionality with any regular AIO (all in one) desktop, the Table top AIO stands out with its extra set of features, features which have not yet been defined / standardized across manufacturer.

Enter the IdeaCenter Horizon. Lenovo’s attempt to create a standard that draws the line between a regular AIO and a true table top AIO. Possessing less input / connection options than a regular AIO, 2 USB, one HDMI, a headphone and mic  jack, and an sdcard slot to be exact, it does add some very compelling features such as 10 point multitouch, accessory recognition (think, dice, air hockey sticks, joysticks),a separate UI interface (AURA)  for its table top configuration, a Li-battery for un-tethered usage  and last but not least a 27 inch HD touch screen that makes it easily useable by more than 2 users.

While Lenovo touts the multi user feature (specifically the AURA UI) as the devices main attraction, after a few hours of use, it becomes quite obvious that this device is extremely versatile. The HDMI connection allows the screen to be used as an additional TV screen (Lenovo has been nice enough to include a source select feature). With a third generation Intel processor running at 1.7ghz, 8gb of RAM and 1TB of HDD space, this might not be the most powerful AIO but it should suffice for most regular PC usage.

Overall the table top PC sector is a small subset of the PC market, while not strictly defined, Lenovo has done a great job of striking the line between a regular AIO and a table top AIO. However, the pricing leaves a lot to be desired. At 1699.99 USD it’s be difficult to justify this niche purchase, however it bares consideration if you need a device that fulfills the functionality of a TV, PC and Board game rolled into one.

As a kid, I bought game consoles, one after the other starting with the NES at the age of 12. I saved Five bucks a day for A LONG TIME. Historically speaking, I’ve had a habit of choosing the wrong side of the gaming fence, going almost exclusively with Sega, from Genesis on. My last console was the Sega Saturn. Life eventually got in the way (when I discovered girls!) and I sorta slowed down the game buying.

A year and a half ago, I picked up an Xbox 360. My brand loyalty played into it a little, I am a Microsoft Certified Professional, and Sony had recently had some cyber break-ins… Plus I wanted the Kinect for the kids. I had been quite happy with my 360, and in fact still am. My brand loyalty is out the window though.

With the recent unveilings of the Xbox One and the PS4, I’ve decided to change my allegiance, as far as video gaming is concerned. I will admit, the Xbox One has some neat features, what with controlling the TV and movies and all, but frankly I’m rather happy with how I watch TV and movies. It’s worked very well for me for the last ten years. I don’t need Microsoft stepping in.

I’m also not thrilled about the Kinect AND the internet being a requirement! For argument’s sake: MAYBE the rumors of Microsoft turning off movies when too many people are watching AREN’T true… Well good! But I ask, have you ever heard of a Microsoft product being hacked? Yeah, me too. I don’t need bored 13 year olds, hacking my system. I’m not too concerned with them watching me via the Kinect, because frankly, you REALLY want to see me sitting in my shorts, pounding beers, eating chips and playing video games, more power to you… But a constant internet connection opens a door that I don’t want there.

I’ve also enjoyed my Game Fly account to great extent, and I’d like to continue to do so. I buy games at GameStop, and I’d like to continue to do so. I don’t need my TV experienced enhanced at the expense of my gaming experience.

Xbox: Do it first, or do it best. Frankly, my TV has worked fine for many years, and I’m not interested in a faster switch over from game to TV for $500, or your money grubbing by disallowing the sharing of games, or the (possible) hosting of movie events. I’d much rather have a company focus on GAMING for $400.

Playstation, here I come.

The Sony MDR-V6 are closed back Stereo Studio Headphones from Sony.These all black headphones with red outline on the earcup have a very minimalist studio look. Nothing too flashy here, in terms of design and look. But what you get are extra comfortable headphones that are studio monitors with a very comfortable over-the-ear feel. The MDR-V6 are Studio Monitor headphones and they give you very balanced sound. Great for up starter DJs and sound mixers. What I really liked from these headphones is that you can hear each instrument with precision. Great on acoustics. I really like these headphones especially for the price at $67.99, you can’t go wrong. You can pick up a pair at orbheadphones.com .
