Hello! My brother in law owns a small security installation firm and if he is ever installing in homes or small businesses he gets me to come and open up ports on the router so that cameras can be viewed on the property from the WAN. Normally this is a pretty simple operation in which there...

Hey guys, I'm looking to enhance my website by having scrolling pictures which fade in and out through a series of say 4 or 5 pictures. Here is the website as it stands: http://www.burstwickcountrygolf.co.uk/ Now this website is maintained and improved by myself, but done using a web...

Get in! White 16GB, can't wait to get some apps on, does anybody know any good iPhone forums? Woop!

Hey guys, I am getting an iPhone in 2 weeks time and can't wait! Question is, is the 3GS really worth the extra £90? I mean from what I can gather once you have a jailbroken 3G the only difference really is that its quicker? £90 just to load up Apps a couple of seconds quicker doesn't...

Now then! Just got home and found out my fiance has ordered us sky HD with the full package and paid for 6 months! Totally shocked! I've wanted it for ages but we've been saving for the wedding so thought better and now this! It's getting installed next friday! Can't frigging wait! Anything I...

I was going to chop my Ixus 50 in for one of these simply because I was a camera that will record high speed video for slow motion stuff. Problem is I have heard that the the Casio isn't that hot at generally taking pictures. Now, my Ixus is the best part of 4 years old, is only 5mp, is...

Do any of you guys know of a high fps camcorder for under £200? Anything that will do 60fps or more is needed!

Hey dudes, I've recently set up my HTC Touch Cruise to sync with the exchange server to to push emails and calendar entries at me. It works brilliant, problem is that when I am connected to Wifi at work or at home, it still uses GPRS to sync. I can't figure out how to stop it? In my...

Hey guys, I've been using o2 as an ISP for 2 months and they have been absolutely shocking. Note: I am no on their LLU networks, just the standard O2 8mb package on BT exchange. I managed to get out of the contract by complaining to ISPA. I couldn't get pings to any game servers below...

Hi guys, after having O2 broadband (only the 8mb ADSL1) for about a month now I was beginning to get pissed off with my pings on Xbox Live games as compared to my mates I seemed to be about 1 second behind. I decided to try online gaming on my PC to find my actual pings, and I was getting...

What time is it going to arrive? It's not here yet! :(

Well hello, I have decided to buy a new TV within the next month, my budget is strictly £600 or less. My requirements: 40-42" LCD 1080P 24P if poss 100hz - i very much doubt this is within budget And last but not least, I need to be able to get it from a company where I can buy now pay later...

Hello, I need to get hold of a high speed CCTV capture card for my PC. The one I have is a 4 channel USB one but only does 25fps, I need nearer 400-500 if poss, but I will try anything as long as its faster than 25fps! Can anyone help? Cheers Alan

Is it because you all love Nikon so much and won't talk about the competition? :D Anyway, looks like a beast of a camera! DPReview preview http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canoneos5dmarkII/ but if you look on POTN theres loads of different sites where people have had a play with the 5D and...

Hi, Does anyone know of a program that would automatically insert MP3 info into the file? For example when you put a cd in your drive, WMP automatically names all the tracks and such by using your internet connection. Now, I have some cd's which i "aquired" but all the songs are called...

It was mine and my mate's first go at motor racing, him with his Nikon D80 + 18-200 VR and me with my 400D + 55-250 IS, I think we did ok with 0 experience between us! Right here's a bunch of ones i have processed, the cropping could be better on some but I was in a rush and at work :D 350Z...

Here are some shots of our Pro I took the other day, let me know what you think! And one to finish, I had a play at being all arty :D C&C Welcome!

Just got my cokin P series holder + adapter and I also bought an ND4 grad filter from ebay for £7. Well you get what you pay for put it that way! I thought I would take some photos for examples of the compromise in image quality. All shots were taken with my Sigma 70-300 APO f/4-5.6 at f/8.0...

Hey guys, after having not used the 400D in a while due to lack of funds for new gear I have decided (now i've paid off my credit card lol) that it was time to invest a small amount in some gear to get my going again. So here's what I have bought: Sigma 70-300 APO DG f/4-5.6 Manfrotto 676B...

Hi, I've just purchased a Canon Pixma MX310 which I am very happy with! I require borderless printing for doing some photos, but when i go into the options and select borderless printing, it comes out really faint and lacking much colour. It does warn me when i select borderless printing that i...

Hi, My upgrade is due in 3 weeks and im stuck on what phone to get. I'm a gadget freak and i usually want the best features so a minimum requirement is this: GPS 3mp camera Wifi Full Internet Browsing 3G/HSDPA Currently I have the N95 (v21) and it's been a great phone, but i don't know what...

I have a budget of £60 for some RAM for my computer since mine just f00ked up. So, my set up is Q6600, Gigabyte P35-S3L Mob, 8800GT 512MB OC2 and I did have 2GB of 1066mhz ram with s**t timings (5-7-7-24). Now should I go for: 4GB 4-4-4-12 800MHZ PC6400 RAM or 2GB 5-5-5-15 1066MHZ PC8500 RAM...

Hey dudes! Does anyone know of any good companies where I can get FAST broadband for £20 a month or less? I'm talking either DECENT 8mb service or a 16/24mb service. I'm currently on Eclipse 8mb service, and whilst the service is very reliable and constant, the speeds are around 2mb (i train...

As some of you may remember I was complaining because my GF's 172 felt quite underpowered. Well I had it fully serviced at a nearby reputable garage last week, with new sparks (which on the invoice cost £12.75 for 4, is that right?), filters and such, and 10w30 Torco SR1 Fully synth oil. I was...

Wahoo! I'm well excited! Just ordered the following: Intel Core Duo Quad Q6600 8MB L2 Cache CPU 2GB PC8500 DDR2 RAM Gigabyte P35 Motherboard Hitachi 160GB SATA II 8MB Cache HDD XFX 8800GT 512MB Graphics Card But the only downside is I won't be able to use them until 25th dec because they are...

Hi, the reason I ask this question is because if some of you remember my girlfriends 172 performs poorly for what it should. I estimate its around 20bhp down. Now, it was serviced just before she bought it, and now 12k miles later it needs another service obviously. Now I was hoping it was so...

Hey guys, I noticed on my GF's 172 that a xenon headlight went out the other night. So I thought no biggy, I'll just buy a new bulb. But when I went back to check it the next night, it was back on! I hope this doesn't mean there's an under lying problem :( Has anyone else had this????

Here is a very detailed and illustrative complex diagram of my high-tech network at work. I need to secure the shared folders on the computer and the laptop so that people on the Wi-Fi can't get in. Now, I have hidden the shared folders on said systems by putting $ at the end of the shared...

I have just bought a new HDD. I have cloned my existing HDD (lets call this #1) to my new HDD (lets call this #2). #1 is C: and #2 is D: naturally. Now heres the problem - how the hell do I boot from #2? Because #1 is assigned as C: and #2 is D:, windows refuses to boot from #2 if i make #2...

Hey guys, managed to do a quick experiment yesterday down a long and straight piece of *cough* private *cough* road. My GF's 172 vs my 125bhp VTS rolling start from 20 upto 100 then stop cos of silly speeds, and the 172 did not pull away. I was thoroughly disappointed because i expected my VTS...
