My thoughts exactly - the cam's a bit slow but offers really good pictures for a phone camera, haven't fiddled that much around in night time so far. I hardly use it for talking as well but as an universal too for snap shots or gaming while being bored or having to wait for something / somebody, that's what really eats up battery power. But then, it's sooo stylish and slim that you'll simply have to forgive it its faults. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

It has a 3 position clutch. Locked (for noobs or when i just need something to help me concentrate - actually works for me), auto return (for learning tricks) and free (proper position).

I'm still learning how to fly one, so it's excellent. It's a big off balance though. The side with the clutch is just a tad heavier. Hope that won't cause me much problems. If so, i'll have to take it apart, do some serious measurements and fix it (if i can at all).

True, the camera is SO slow. Like about 25 seconds slow.

yo-yos are awsome! I also started with a "clutched" (I didn't even know thats what they're called) yo-yo, all I had to do was take it apart, reinsert the axle the other way around and it became a non-clutched yo-yo. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Yomega Stealth Raider and Hyper Raider were my favorites, I still have them somewhere in the house, must have been at least 8 years since I last played with one, now I gotta find them images/smilies/lol.gif

Slycer · October 31st, 2007, 02:22 PM

Where did you buy that YoYo, how much it cost and does the store have just that one or several from which I can choose?

A while back, before I got a CC I was thinking about buying one of these: Tom Kuhn SB 2.2. It is a tad expensive
but I love YoYos ever since the Slovenian YoYo craze many years back. I can still remember my Yomega Brain.

IceBone · October 31st, 2007, 02:27 PM

www.talenti.si

lots of juggling gizmos. They have quite a few yoyos, but their store is weird. i wanted a blue one, but they don't have an option to choose the colour, i guess you have to put it into the order form. Cost me €16.85 with shipping and it came in 2 days.

Slycer · October 31st, 2007, 02:43 PM

U werent kidding. The navigation on that site blows.

I'm probably gonna go with this one tho: Hitman And Check out the vid at the bottom. It's insane. They ship to Slovenia which is
awsome and the shipping & handling charges are amazing. Seven bucks. The fast that the dollar is in the toilet ATM is nice too. :p

This thread is brought to you by the Yo-Yo: Making sure that geeks and nerds remain virgins their entire life.

IceBone · October 31st, 2007, 05:15 PM

Yeah right. Geeks are the new jocks. We get all the poon. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Buba · October 31st, 2007, 08:45 PM

Geeks FTW!

Anyway, I just received the confirmation that my 2nd gig of Corsair XMS2 800 has been sent out.
I even bought it (kinda) with my own money, since I'm working on the dental emergency service of my clinic right now. Don't get paid much, buts I earn almost all of the 35 Euros the gig cost today... If you don't mind the extra hours after the university has finished. At least not every day means 14 hours of work images/smilies/wink.gif

matt2000 · October 31st, 2007, 09:45 PM

hope fitting it goes well for ya Buba images/smilies/smile.gif

Buba · October 31st, 2007, 11:11 PM

Well, how hard can sticking it in be after you've built the htpc images/smilies/wink.gif

Decided to bring it down off the shelf and fire it up again..
I wish I hadn't.

Well 200 mb should be enough for anyone images/smilies/tongue.gif

My new toy, which probably will not last very long in my house. I have my old school logitech that is more comfy.

BerserkerCatSplat · November 2nd, 2007, 06:35 AM

I'll bet using that mouse is about as comfortable as having sex with a tree chipper.

Fact: Hands aren't square. Who manufactured that abomination of ergonomics?

IceBone · November 2nd, 2007, 12:05 PM

someone with at least more knowledge of design and style than apple.

Shawn · November 2nd, 2007, 12:13 PM

Don't be retarded. Apple's products might have a lot of faults or you might think they're overpriced... but what is undisputable is that their designs are generally very awesome and better than what others are putting out.

You just love bashing shit, don't you? You constantly bash Vista, you bash Apple... what gives?
