Wow. The Sims 3 is finally here. Of course, because of the long and delayed wait for this game, people have high expectations. Some expectations were met, while some were not, but EA did listen to iPhone users and it made an iPhone version of the Sims 3. I tested out the Sims 3 for iPhone today, and I have to say, I’m pretty happy. Some things frustrated me, while others pleased me. After the break, here is my full Review of the Sims 3.

While the plastic MacBook (and every Apple product for that matter) is a beauty to admire, its plastic casing isn’t really resistant to the hazards of daily use. Speck has set out to solve this probable problem with their shiny orange, hard polycarbonate plastic shell-type case.

At the moment, there is so much gossip about the 3^rd generation iPhone, which Apple is supposed to be announcing at their annual World Wide Developer Conference.  With all the new goodies that will be in it; video recording, push notification, faster 3G, etc. you can also count on something else; a battery that lasts half of what Apple claims it to be. That’s where Richard Solo comes into play.

FreeAgent Theater In-Depth Review

Company: Seagate
Product : FreeAgent Theater with 500 GB FreeAgent Go HD
Price: $279

Convenience Rating: 3.8 stars
Video Quality: 4.8 stars
Appearance: 4.5 stars
Re-use/Replay Value: 3 stars

Overall Rating: 4 stars

After you take photos from your digital camera and videos from your camcorder, where does it all go?  Most people dump their photos in iPhoto if they have a Mac, or some folder if they have a pc.  For their videos, it is basically the same.  While you can edit your videos and make it look good, there really isn’t any enjoyment in watching your videos & slideshows if you have to sit in the office like a bunch of geeks to watch your media on a tiny computer screen.  Thankfully, Seagate looks to change all that as smooth as possible with its FreeAgent Theater HD Media Player.  It is basically a high-definition media player that will allow you to play all your media on your Seagate portable hard drives on a monitor or television.
