Review of the Creative Gigaworks HD50 Speakers

December 31, 2008 by admin · Comments 

The Creative Labs GigaWorks HD50 speakers are very disappointing. For the high price tag and superb build quality I was expecting a speaker set that rivaled the premium offerings by Bose and other manufacturers. I was so surprised with how poor the sound quality was that I had to hook it up to a few additional sources to be certain it wasn’t my equipment.

Sound is tinny and chock full of distortion even at moderate volume settings. The “BasXPort technology” is nothing but a marketing exec’s description of a hole at the top of the speaker. The reality is practically zero low range bass. The set could benefit from a subwoofer but at that point there are already plenty of more affordable options.

I rarely give a one star review, but I simply can’t recommend these speakers at the asking price. They are nothing more than mid range computer speakers wrapped in a more attractive package.

I am a a member of the Amazon Vine Voices program. Every month Amazon sends me a few products that are new or coming soon to market to review on their site.

Seriously, would you touch this phone?

This is very well done. Tip of the hat to Samsung’s marketing team on this one.

Ok so “Canon Rock” is the new Stairway to Heaven for aspiring YouTube guitarists. But nobody does it better than this kid from France:

Check out some of his other videos, it’s amazing how gifted this guy is.. No doubt we’ll see him dominating the iTunes music store sometime in the near future.

The Best Presidential Impersonator.. Ever!

April 15, 2005 by admin · Comments 

I happened to be watching Comedy Central’s Roast of Jeff Foxworthy this evening, and was astounded by the performance of an impersonator who looked and acted so much like George Bush I almost believed it was the real deal.

Turns out this talented individual is Steve Bridges, a master impressionist who with the assistance of some great makeup could easily pass for the President ala “Dave.”

Mr. Bridges has some great video footage of his act that shows the depth of his talent. Comedy Central also has some footage from the Roast.
