Where can I get a good skin cover for my Nintendo Ds Lite? Or a carrying case?

Anyone know where I can get a skin protector for my nintendo ds lite? THANKS!

I bought this case at an online store called Nuritech and it has cases for PSP and DS Lite. I really like the cases they have for DS. They snap on easily and come in different colors. I bought a red leather case that easily snaps on the DS and in only $21.99. When it came in the mail, I put it on and it does an excellent job protecting scratches. You should but this case!

Why to have laptop skins cover ?

There was a time when you used to protect your computer from damage, by putting a heavy plastic cover on it, after you had finished using it. The idea was to protect it from heat and dust and other environmental influences which would damage it eventually. A desktop computer has now taken the form of laptops and that is why it is necessary to make sure that your laptop is protected in an extremely proper way. You are not going to put any heavy plastic cover on it, but instead you are going to cover your laptop with laptop skins.
Apart from safeguarding your laptop to make sure that they do not get scratched, the laptop skins are going to ensure that your laptop looks fashionable, and brand-new even if you use it 24/7. That means the laptop is going to say no to smudges, smears, dust particles, and any other external influence. These nasty influences are going to detract from the looks of your laptop if it is not protected with a flexible and durable laptop skin. And the best part is that you can even remove the laptop skin, without having some sort of sticky residue sticking on the surface of your laptop. You can also customize your laptop according to your likes and dislikes by having a number of plain and printed laptop skins, to make the machine look stylish, and trendy. These laptop skins cover are easily available in the market just like cell phone skins for mobile device and Wii skins for your wii device.

That might be true in some cases, but it is always useful to have another durable and extremely flexible protective covering to protect the external surface of your device from damaging scratches, smudges, smears, fingerprints and even oil found on the surface of any place where you put your device on. Therefore keeping in view of these factors and in order to protect your device these laptop skins cover, cell phone skins cover and wii skins cover gives a durable coverage to your respective machine.

Canon Digital Rebel Xsi 12.2 Mp Digital Slr Camera Reviews

Great camera, one of the best low(er)-end DSLRs on the market
My journey with DSLRs began back in 2003 with the original Digital Rebel. DSLRs changed my photography for the better like nothing else. Five years and some 25,000 shots later, it's still going strong. Along the way I upgraded to the Canon 30D, which is a fantastic camera as well. When the 40D was announced, I decided to wait until the 50D sometime in 2009, but wanted a newer backup/second body for my photography needs. So when the XSi/450D was announced, it sounded like a perfect fit for my needs.

I got it from Amazon.com three days ago, and have given it a pretty good workout since then, having shot about 650 shots under a variety of shooting conditions and with a number of different Canon and third-party lenses. The following are my impressions.

The build feels very good. The camera feels wonderfully light yet well built. I'm 6ft tall with average size hands, and the camera feels good in my hand. The battery grip, to me, defeats the purpose of having a small, light DSLR, so I opted for a Hakuba/Opteka grip (it's a plate that screws into the tripod socket that enables you to use the excellent Canon E1 hand strap with it) and I couldn't be happier. I'm not a fan of neck straps, so this works well for me (see the uploaded photo for the configuration).

Most of the menu buttons on the back feel different from the ones on the original Digital Rebel and the 30D; the XSi buttons feel more tactile and have a definite "click" to them when you press them. The exception are the Exposure Lock (*) and AF selector buttons, which have retained the deeper, softer feel of the older cameras. Just different, not better or worse, for me.

The LCD is now 3" with 230K pixels. The playback images look great, and probably because of the higher resolution of the sensor, there's a very slight delay when you zoom in to 10x while the image loads and displays properly. People coming from other cameras or brands might not even notice it--I only did so because of the difference between it and my two other Canon DSLRs (which have lower resolution sensors). The viewing angle of the LCD screen (how clearly you can see the screen from side and up and down) is excellent; you can still see the screen holding the camera almost straight up for an overhead shot (more on this later). I'd estimate the viewing angle is about 160-170 degrees both horizontally and vertically.

The Digital Rebel has a separate status screen above the main LCD screen, and the 30D had one on top of the camera, so I wasn't sure if I was going to like the big LCD acting as the status screen and no top screen. I'm happy to say that this arrangement works well, at least for me. The back screen makes it really easy to take all the settings at a glance. The viewfinder is much larger and brighter than that in the Digital Rebel. A humongously welcome feature for me is the always displayed ISO value in the viewfinder.

The camera is only 1/2 of the image quality equation, the other being the lenses being used. Coupled with my favorite lens, the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L telephoto lens, the XSi turns out fantastic images. The supplied kit lens is very light and compact for being an image stabilized lens, and turns out good performance. The IS is certainly very useful.

Two features that used to be missing from the Digital Rebels and found in the more expensive DSLRs are now featured in the XSi: spot-metering and flash exposure compensation (these may have been available in the previous Digital Rebel model, the XTi, as well). The inclusion of those two features make the camera a much more complete and compelling photographic tool. The timer function now has a custom mode, where it'll count down from 10 seconds then take a number of shots (specified by you) in succession. No more running back and forth to reset the timer after each shot! There's also the traditional 2-second timer.

Let's talk for a minute about sensor and the ISO values. XSi/450D has five ISO values you can choose: 100 (best image quality), 200, 400, 800, and 1600. Higher ISO increases the camera sensor's sensitivity to light, thus you can achieve faster shutter speeeds for a given lighting condition. However, the trade-off is that the sensor "noise" (think grain for film photography) increases with higher ISO, so you get a degraded image quality in return for less blurred photos from hand shakes (thanks to faster shutter speed). This may come in handy in situations where flash photography is not permitted, such as a museum or a concert or theater. HOWEVER, compared to point-and-shoot digital cameras, the larger sensors of DSLRs, including the XSi, means that even at ISO 800 and 1600 you get very usable images right out of the camera. Running the images shot at those ISO settings through any number of third-party noise reduction software will improve them even further.

This ties in to another very useful feature of the XSi/450D that makes life easier for the photographer: The Auto ISO function. By default, Auto ISO sets the ISO (the sensor sensitivity to light) between 100 and 800 (by using custom functions, this can be changed to 200-1600). If you are, for example, shooting your kid's indoor basketball game and you know that you need a shutter speed of at least 1/200 sec to "freeze" the action, then you can set the camera to Tv (shutter priority mode) and set the value to 1/200, and set the camera to Auto ISO. Then the camera will match the aperture and the ISO to achieve proper exposure at that shutter speed. With my other DSLRs, setting the camera to shutter priority only allowed the camera to adjust the aperture value; ISO setting had to be adjusted manually. With the XSi/450D, the ability for the camera to adjust the ISO value automatically makes it one less thing for you the photographer to worry about.

I've only tested the Live View function to see how it works, but I can already see how useful it's going to be in studio and macro shootings. Just a note, you can't half-press the shutter to autofocus while in Live View mode. You can either manual focus, or use one of the two autofocus methods, quick (the mirror flips up, the LCD goes dark for a short while, and flips down with focus locked) or live (the camera uses the LCD's contrast detection to achieve the focus--this method is slower than the quick method), both by pressing the exposure lock button (*) while in the Live View mode. Using either the RS-60E3 wired remote or RC-1 wireless remote in Live View mode will ONLY trigger the shutter, and has no bearing on focusing.

Some people seem to be under the impression that the inclusion of the Live View feature will enable them to use the XSi/450D as they do point-and-shoot digital cameras, to compose their shots. That is not the case. You can't really make a functioning use of the Live View feature unless the camera's securely mounted on a tripod or on a flat surface. Both Live View focusing modes, while precise, are too slow to be used for hand-held shooting.

Having said that, there is one use of Live View in hand-held shooting that I've come to value. When shooting overhead or over an obstacle, I can, with the same hand holding the camera, trigger the Live View, compose the scene through the LCD monitor (even if it's out of focus, it's easy to get the general framing right), disable Live View, and take the photo normally. With a little practice, this can be accomplished very quickly. Very handy when you're just holding the camera overhead and hoping for the best.

The Direct Print button that's been much ridiculed and maligned in most Canon cameras now double as the white balance menu button. The Set button in the middle of the four-direction arrow keys can be programmed for a number of different functions: Change image quality, flash exposure compensation, LCD monitor on/off (same as Display button, but can be triggered by the same hand holding the camera), and Menu display (again, can be triggered by the same hand holding the camera).

There is a dedicated ISO button, which is also very welcome. It can easily be accessed during shooting with the right thumb, thereby minimizing the interruption to shooting.

The battery life seems very good. I've shot about 500+ shots on a single charge and the status monitor is still showing charge at full.

I'm using Transcend 8GB Class 6 SDHC card with it. At ISO 100, the camera reports it can fit 396 RAW+JPG (highest quality) on it, but in reality it can probably fit about 420-450 (the camera's always conservative when estimating). With RAW only, it can fit 507. With highest quality JPG, it can fit 1,822. Note that as ISO increases, so do the file sizes and thus you can store less images per card. For example, on ISO 1600, the same card can only hold 323 images, compared to 396 at ISO 100.

My only gripe, and this is more about me than the camera, is the RAW+JPG buffer. I always shoot RAW+JPG, and the buffer will only hold four images at that speed (this is a limitation that's built into the camera's memory buffer system, and thus using a fast memory card doesn't help--see p.64 of the manual). When the buffer's full, you can take two additional images at about a frame a second, then have to wait until the buffer empties (finishes writing to the memory card). When shooting RAW only, it's 6 images. When shooting JPG only, then it's no problem at more than 50 frames. I've found myself switching the mode dial to Sports mode when I'm shooting a fast-moving subject and the buffer simply can't keep up with it. Well, that's why Canon produces different grades and ranges of DSLRs.

I've uploaded some photos that I shot of the local wildlife. Most if not all of those were taken with the EF 70-200mm f/4 L lens.

All in all, it's a fantastic camera. Pretty amazing to see how far the entry-level DSLRs have come in just a few years in terms of features, interface, ergonomics, and quality. I'm very pleased with my purchase and intend to have lots of fun shooting pictures with it.

Great camera, amazing battery life, now the perfect price!
I have had the XSi for about 3 months now and I am thouroughly impressed with it. This is my first DSLR and I was a little wary about going with a brand-new and untested camera, but I have always like Canon (I used an ELAN II in High School and I bought a SD600 about 2 years ago to take snapshots of my son). Overall, I have not been disappointed with the quality of the photos that the XSi produces. The IS lens works great and I have taken some pretty amazing photos (for me at least). I do have just a couple of issues, both good and bad, that I think those who are looking at buying this may want to know.

Battery life -- Great battery life. I should say, AMAZING battery life. I have taken over 5000 photos and I have only had to charge the battery twice.

Live View -- LiveView is not for beginners. It is not a replacement for your Point-and-Shoot. You can't use it in the AUTO mode (Green Square). This isn't that big of a deal for me, I prefer full manual myself, but the whole point of this feature, I thought, was to make it more user friendly for the Point-and-Shoot photographer. My wife can't use Live View in it's current form (I specifically bought a DSLR with a live view function so she could still use the camera). So, if Live View is a big selling point for you, You may want to look at some others (If it isn't that big of a deal to you, then this is still an amazing camera -- added 4-23-2008). If you do studio work, though, you can hook the camera up to your PC and use it as a remote viewer. But it is not a point-and-shoot camera in Live View. In my earlier review, I said that it would be nice if Canon fixed some of the Live View issues with a firmware update, I was mistaken. Live View is a nice feature once you figure out it is not meant for beginners. Studio and landscape photographers will find Live View a great tool.

Image Quality -- I have had some great success shooting in a studio setting as well as some great outdoor shots. In the studio, I used tungsten "hot" lights with the subjuect against a white background. The photos turned out great. Skin tones are perfect and there is very little, if any, chromatic abberation at the edges. It shoots great outdoor shots as well. We just got into beekeeping and I was able to get some AMAZING shots of our bees up-close outdoors. The bees looked dirty and not very interesting from a distance, but the macro photos I got up close are beautiful and full of wonderfully crisp details. The lens is a little short, the image quality you get from it is pretty good considering it only costs $100. I do plan on buying a longer lens in the near future.

Overall, the camera is solid and feels nice in the hand. It isn't too heavy, yet still feels sturdy. If you can afford the higher price, I don't think you will be disappointed. If you can't, the XTi is still a great camera. And if you can afford to wait a few months for the price to drop a little (LIKE IT ALREADY HAS!!) I would. I was able to work a few extra weekends so I could afford to get this, and I can tell you, I don't mind it a bit, because the quality of photos I am getting has been totally worth it.

--- Update ---
I was incorrect when I said you couldn't use the 9-Point autofocus in Live View. You can use the 9-point autofocus while in Live View, but the mirror flips down and focuses so you can't see what you are trying to focus on until after the camera has actually gone through the autofocus process.

--- Update #2 ---
I have now had this camera for almost two months and I am happy to report that the more I use it, the more I love it. Once you learn the layout of the camera and you load the MyMenu with the tools you use most often, the camera becomes an absolute delight to use. I have taken over 5000 photos with it so far and now I need an extra hard drive to put them all on.

I was able to rent a Canon EF 24-105 IS L lens and a 580 EX II Speedlite for my sister's wedding. WOW! What great photos. The camera interfaced with the flash flawlessly and I am more convinced than ever that much of the quality of your photos comes from the glass you use and not as much from the camera itself (I think it is about 65% lens to 35% camera body give or take a few points-- I know there will be those who disagree, but that is my take on it, and I am sure if I had a 1Ds MkIII I would think that there wasn't a peice of glass good enough for my camera).

This is a great beginner dSLR and a great camera all around. I am very happy with my purchase and I have had no regrets whatsoever about spending the $900 to buy such a great tool. Amazon now sells it for $799, you can't go wrong at that price!

Wonderful digital camera!
This camera is impossible to beat at this price. I won't write a lengthy review, but, you can set this camera in fully automatic mode and hand it to a "point and shoot" person, and they will obtain fantastic results. For the amateur photographer, this has all of the bells and whistles, what I love is I can reset the camera rapidly for multiple shots of the same scene on very different settings. Married with a decent photo program on your computer, it is possible to achieve professional results.

Many reviews say, get this with the stabilization lens.... I wholeheartedly agree... the extra $100 is a bargain price for this lens... It is almost (and I do say almost) like having a tripod. I set the camera for 1/10th second exposures with no support, and obtained steady pictures with it, slower than this, and the stabilization did not fully correct for any unsteadiness.

We'd buy it again in a heartbeat, and I wish I could get one for everyone I know!! Best photos that I have ever taken and a joy to use! Connecting it to the computer and downloading photos takes a matter of seconds.

Get the largest SD card you can afford with it... We have a 2GB card with it, and it fills fairly rapidly. 1GB is far too small for this camera (primarily because you will take numerous shots with it, not because the pics take up a great deal of memory), I'm guessing 4GB would be near perfect (or a couple of 2GB cards, but one 4GB is safer, the cards are too easy to misplace).

What brand of Memory should I buy for my Macbook?

I'm buying a Macbook 13.3" 2.16 Ghz processor, it is going to come with 1GB of memory. I will be wanting to upgrade to 2GB of memory. I've been looking on ebay and various online retailers for this upgrade and I find that there is a large range of brand names and prices to choose from. How much of a difference is there between the OEM apple products and the aftermarket companies? What memory company is the best?

your best bet is to order the macbook with the 2gb of ram, its only an extra $175 and its backed by the apple warranty. if you get 3rd party ram you run the risk of it going bad and it won't be supported by apple especially if you get the applecare (which i strongly recommend)

Number Pad Keyboard

POLL: WHICH number pad on the KEYBOARD do you use?

The one to your right side, or the one that runs along the top?

I use the one to the right, it's easier... I use the one along the top with SHIFT so I can punch in symbols like: ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )

I think they should just get rid of the number pad along the top, and just make it the symbols, that way we don't have to use shift.

Anyways, which one do you use? and why?

I use the one on top. I love the one on the side though, for some reason it makes me feel smart using that one

Which Verizon phone is better?

My family is switching plans, so now it is time to switch phones! I don't really like a phone with a big mp3 thing, because that's what my Zune is for. I'm not sure my parents will pay for internet on it, so that may be a no-go. I want a semi-large to large touchscreen that does not have a retractable keyboard...I want one that is actually on the screen.

I'm thinking Samsung Omnia, Motorola Krave ZN4, LG Dare, Blackberry Storm, or the LG Versa.

Which is the best?
EDIT: I heard that the Blackberry storm has a lot of defects. is this true?

The Blackberry Storm lags ALOT and sometimes freezes. I had one and I brought it back within a week because I couldn't take it. The Samsung Omnia is the best one out of those selections, especially with the very good quality camera.

A Modern And Stylish Corner Desk

Almost every home in America has a computer, and along with the computer a computer desk. One style of modern desk that has gained in popularity with computers is the corner desk. The main advantage to the corner desk that has contributed to its popularity is their space saving design. There are not that many pieces of furniture available that allows such ideal use of a place in the home which is often considered "dead space". A corner desk will fit nicely into that space, and that may be it, or if you have more room, you can have an extension coming off of one or both sides of the corner unit.

For quite a while, the space saving functionality was the main thing going for the corner desk. Along with that functionality, for the most part, the corner desk just looked functional. Not a whole lot of style was involved. But lately the market has been changing. There are some corner desks available that are also really nice looking pieces of furniture. Let's take a look at a couple of companies that have gone the extra mile in design as well as function.

The first company that I came across whose corner desks really jumped out at me as to being nice and stylish is Home Styles Furniture. Home Styles has been around since 1998, and their goal has been to produce Ready-to-Assemble furniture that merges high functionality with great looking designs. Their styling is both traditional and contemporary, so there is something to suit most any taste. Besides looking good, Home Styles say that their furniture offers "innovative functionality" because they strive to find innovative storage options and furniture configurations. They also use hardwood in their construction and high quality hardware so that their furniture lasts for years.

One of their great styles is the laptop desk. This desk can sit in the corner, posing as an occasional table, allowing it to fit into any room. But the height of the desk and the configuration of the legs is designed so that a chair can be pulled up and the surface used comfortably while working on your laptop. The laptop desk comes in slightly different styles and finishes to suit a variety of tastes.

Southern Enterprises, Inc (SEI) is not an actual manufacturer, but an importer. They have been around for over 30 years, and in that time they have perfected the art of finding the types of home furnishings that people want and then offering them to the public. To keep on top of the industry, their market research is continuous, allowing them to keep track of the minute changes in their customer's design tastes.

Southern Enterprises, Inc basic corner desk is similar to Home Styles, but a bit larger, it is designed to fit a regular desk top computer. It has the cord cut out toward the back, and what looks like a drawer in the front is a fold down, retractable keyboard tray. Various designs and finishes are also available.

What I really liked best about both of these companies and their offering of corner desks, is that none of their pieces looked like traditional RTA office furniture that you would find at a discount store. But these were really stylish, nice looking pieces of furniture, a corner desk that could fit right in a modern living room.
