I loved sony products for years. From the pen like mp3 player I first got back in the late 90s to the mini vaios and phones, to the playstation 3. I would say I actually prefer the brand image of sony to that of apple. It was always sleek and futuristic looking. Sadly, the sony laptops I want are always just in the luxury class priceline or on dynamism
If you are a gadget freak - don't go to that site or you will go broke. I think I have written about it before.
Then today I got this mailing from sony with all their new stuff in its glossy black chicness. I am really loving the hardware that is the xperia x1 slider phone but I am not willing to go back to windows mobile. I want a flavor of unix phone. Then I flip to the inside and I see the imac. Or at least sony's ripoff knockoff of the imac
. I can't believe it. What happend to their design team. Not everything has to look like an apple product, sheesh.
I hope they keep their more unique style, like this sony vaio g series laptop.
Do these pimsleur tapes even work? I really want to learn Spanish. I think I started with Pimsleur and gave up because a) I am lazy and b) they were monotonous!
i love tuesday morning! and wow that is one overpriced cassette tape!
But see Tapes aren't out of date. Yes they are older but most places where you go to buy a stero still sell them with casette playes. In fact there are some new players that have a Radio, CD, record player, and casette and some of the companies who make those make a high line model that you can record your records I think onto CD. Oh yeah bye the way Records are trying to make a comback. I will admit that tapes can become warped and have some problems with them but they aren't dead yet. With out being a media studdy person I think one of the problems with a CD is that it was designed to be listened to by one person. A CD is something I listen to or maybe with some of my buddies. But see a record was more about a bunch of people listening. I have heard CDs have better sound quality. But music purests say that isn't true that music has more depth on a record. I will admit I can't tell the differance myself but my hearing is somewhat damaged from loud music, concerts, yelling and Monster Trucks. On a side note there was something that never really caught on that a friend of mine had it was called A digital Audio Tape. I guess the way it worked was it was a tape but it was recorded digitaly like a cd so it was small and you could jump around like on a CD they used to sell them at Record Theatre across from Canisius. On another side note the best way to learn spanish is to find some spanish little hottie to teach it to you, HA. On a serious note learning spanish won't do anyone anygood unless you have someone to speak it with like daily. I don't think any tape will teach you conversational spanish.
I agree - that's too much for cassetts - they're way too out of date. I bought a cool little pocket "Conversational Spanish for Dummies" book recently at Target for $.99. I believe there's also some free website for learning Spanish on-line.
Those things are always such a racket. For a dictionary, a few cassetts of someone speaking in an outrageous accent, and some sort of instruction book you pay $50 retail.
