With two rolls of design and an elegant plum and silver color scheme, the Nokia N95 includes a lot of features into a relatively small package. You can expect it to weigh more - only 120g the phone, which measures 99 mm x 53mm x 21mm. Sliding the phone down to reveal a traditional keypad, while sliding in the opposite direction allows access to multimedia controls. Alphanumeric keyboard is a bit ', and react to a light touch. Blue backlight, you can easily see what you write. The LCD screen is bright and clear, and solves 240 x 320 pixels. It 'easy to see even in bright sunlight, but you will need a clear plastic screen protector that prevents scratches and fingerprints.
Nokia N95 is undoubtedly the feature-packed. Much fuss has to do with the GPS function. Two mapping systems are available, both of which are free to watch, but is required to use GPRS/3G is not. Turn-by-turn directions, are also driven by additional costs incurred. Using the telephone keypad to operate the system proves to be a little 'attempts, and the lack of volume is also a problem.
Since the first phone includes a five megapixel camera, the Nokia N95, the majestic. The picture quality is good, as well as color reproduction. Like most phone cameras, the image sharpness suffers a bit '. In particular, the N95 really struggling shooting at night, even if it is the red-eye reduction flash. No auto focus and macro, portrait, sports, series, and the burst shooting mode, as well as the opportunity to manually control the white balance, color tone and exposure. The phone can interface with a web-based photo accounts, including Flickr, Vox and Lifeblog.
The Nokia N95 is a multimedia device - contains both video and music players. It does not support the MPC, AAC, AAC +, eAAC +, WMA and M4A audio formats and MPEG-4, H.264/AVC, H.263, 3GPP and RealVideo files. The quality of the supplied headphones are not bad, but the advantage that the phone has a 3.5 mm headphone jack, so you can connect high-quality headphones if you're serious about music. Here, the multimedia keyboard really shines, previous, play / pause, stop and next keys offers intuitive control of the device. You can watch videos on the Nokia N95, but the screen is really too small to do justice function.
The new feature is the Video Center - RSS Feeder video content on YouTube and Reuters. Using this, you can download and stream video clips using the Wi-Fi or data service provider's services. The memory is adequate - and 160 MB of internal memory and microSD card slot that supports cards up to 2GB.
Unfortunately, the phone feels a bit expensive, the sliding mechanism a little loose and the plastic quality is not as good as it should be, given the price of the phone. Battery life is another disappointing aspect of the phone, with only 160 hours of talk time and 200 hours standby. These figures are slightly better when using a traditional GSM network, but are still well below par. The use of GPS or the camera much faster than the battery.
If money is no object, the Nokia N95 offers a feature-packed phone in a lightweight, well designed packaging.
Actress Kelly Lynch broke onto the scene in the 1980s with a string of roles in successful movies such as Bright Lights, Big City, Cocktail, Road House, and Drugstore Cowboy. In the 1990s she continued to work steadily and married screenwriter Mitch Glazer. This year, the actress played two roles in her husband's new movie Passion Play, as an actress and the woman who inspired the film.
Passion Play stars Mickey Rourke as Nate Poole, a jazz musician who goes on the run from a gangster (Bill Murray) and discovers a traveling circus where he meets a young woman (Megan Fox) who happens to have giant bird wings growing out of her back. Passion Play will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on May 31, and I recently had the chance to speak with Kelly Lynch about her role in this new drama, which she describes as, "a blonde version of Snooki." Here's what she had to say.I read the script was actually inspired by Mitch falling in love with you. I was curious what you first thought of the script when you read this character has bird wings?Kelly Lynch: Well, first of all, I assumed he thought of me as Big Bird or something. No, we met 20 years ago. Both of us were sort of cutting a swath through the world in our own way, thinking we were never going to get married. We sort of met our match and, all of the sudden, "saved" each other, moving from your twenties and thirties and forties as a partier, eternal partier, someone who wasn't going to stop and do all the things that are beautiful like have a family and have a life. It's easy to do in this business, because you're moving around and you're meeting a lot of people. We sort of saved each other. Mitch's mother was also, coincidentally, Mickey Rourke's teacher in Miami Beach where they both grew up. Mitch and Mickey had known each other since they were 15. Mitch's mother showed A Place in the Sun, and Mickey decided, at that moment, he wanted to be an actor, which is not a surprise because of the incredible vulnerability that is Mickey, especially if you know him. He has credited Mrs. Glazer throughout the years as that person, who inspired him. In fact, when she died in a car accident, he was the only non-family member that came to be there. They're very, very close. Mitch wrote this movie with Mickey and I in mind, he wanted me to be the angel 20 years ago. At the time, the studio wanted something more like Splash with wings, this weird Fellini-esque thing, although everyone thought it was beautiful. It was a beloved script and beautifully written, but it really wasn't for the time, so it just got put in a box. Before Mickey's big "comeback," he was in bad shape. Mickey brought it out and said, 'Let's try to get this made.' Sadly, it wasn't me as Lily, but he started meeting basically every actress in Hollywood. They all wanted this part, but he fell in love with Megan Fox, whose work he had never seen. He knew her name, but he isn't the one to check out all the evil blogging about her. He met her and found her to be this lovely young woman, 23 years old who's been with the same guy since she was a teenager. She's as charming and lovely and real, but she's kind of like a Comic-Con geek in real life.Yeah, that's what I've heard.Kelly Lynch: She's just an adorable person and not at all this evil, tough, can't act, blah blah blah. We all loved her and, in fact, the two Academy Award-nominated actors who worked opposite her just thought she was fantastic. The first day of shooting, Mickey grabbed Mitch and said, 'My god, she is really a throwback.' She truly has movie-star looks and she can do it. She held her own opposite Mickey. This is my second movie with Mickey, and he is not an easy actor to work with. He serves the tennis ball at you at like 180 miles per hour. You want to get out of the way and just watch him, but you have to hit it back. Not everyone can play with him, let's just put it that way.Did the script change at all throughout these past 20 years, or is it still pretty much the same?Kelly Lynch: It's pretty much the same, but it changed in that, originally, the story was more Mitch's and my story. The movie was set in the 50s, the late 50s. The character I was going to play was a Hollywood Confidential writer who got into trouble writing things about Happy Shannon's wife and slept with her. There was a vendetta after him. It was really set in the Mad Men period and, at the time, Hollywood was like, 'Who gives a shit about this? It's the 50s.' They were like, 'Can't you just shoot it like she's a wacky, funny bird?' Mitch just put it in the drawer and, Mitch brought this out, really, for Mickey, because he needed work, and Mitch only wanted him. A lot of other actors wanted to do it, but Mitch was very loyal to Mickey. Comeback or not, all of Hollywood finds that Mickey is a fighter, whether it's Sin City or Iron Man 2, he's either beating someone up or he's getting beat up, including The Wrestler. As wonderful as he is in that movie, it's still where Hollywood has put him. He's a big, thug, fighter. Mitch just wanted one more shot at Mickey as the guy we all fell in love with in Diner and The Pope of Greenwich Village, the guy who had a vulnerability and gentleness and maybe even a girl in the picture somewhere. He saved it for Mickey and he met with Megan and absolutely fell in love with her. He just thought she was so ethereal and just so unlike anyone he'd ever seen. They just don't make girls like that any more.I read you also had some influence on Harriet's look, from the hairstyle and things like that. Can you talk about the kind of look you were going for with your character Harriet?Kelly Lynch: Yeah. Well, it was before Snooki. Everything can get wrecked by one Jersey Shore dwarf. I was looking at magazines and, because Nate's world is this sort of hipster, vintage world, he and Harriet embody this world. I was like, 'How should she look?' Because, in her mind, she looks like Brigitte Bardot, but in our mind, she just looks like a tough barmaid. She's just a bartender, but Mickey insisted to Mitch that I was the burlesque dancer in this movie, as well as the bartender. I said, 'Look, Mickey, I'm 50.' He said, 'The way you look has gotten in the way of a lot of parts. You might as well exploit that one last time, you might as well get that out there one more time.' So, I worked very hard on this whole pole dance and we filmed all this stuff and it ended up just being in a few beats in the beginning of the movie. I said, 'Mitch, we have to put an extra in the special edition DVD at some point.' I got on set and screamed at the crew saying, 'I'm 51!' They all cheered.It really seemed that no one else could have directed this besides Mitch. It is the perfect thing to make his directorial debut with. Can you talk about how he has evolved as a writer and how he transitioned into a director?Kelly Lynch: He has written a lot of things and he has a new thing with this series called Magic City about Miami in 1959. Of course, that was another thing where people were like, 'Who cares about the 50s. Who cares about mobsters.' Then there was The Sopranos and Mad Men, and Boardwalk Empire which changed all that. As far as directing, he has been wanting to direct forever and ever. He has discovered that he loves it. He's really good with actors and he really likes it. He actually came in on a movie I did with Billy Baldwin called Three of Hearts when my director had a nervous breakdown. Mitch had done a few rewrites for us and he directed the best pieces of that movie, which is a very sweet movie. Everybody, including the producers, were sending him scripts, saying, 'You've got to do this.' He's a quiet guy and he likes to write and he doesn't like to be around people. He's the nerdy smart guy. For whatever reason, this Fellini-esque love letter to me was the thing that he really wanted to make. It was kind of like film school times 150,000, because of all the travails of getting this movie made and making this movie with people he loved more than anything. Bill Murray is also one of Mitch's best friends. He wrote Scrooged for him and he rewrote the Charlie's Angels movie that Bill and I were in together, the first one, the good one. He was credited as writer #20, I believe, on that film, and he did a page-one rewrite of it and made it actually work. We had such a great time working on that together. He was also a producer on Lost In Translation for Bill and really forced Bill to do that movie when he was going, 'I don't know...' Mitch said, 'Look, Sofia Coppola sees you as a leading man. Everyone else sees you as the weird gardener from Caddyshack, which is great, but, you know, get the girl. Mitch is always about 'get the girl,' for Mickey as well. It was a tremendous thing for him to be able to do. Often the writer just gives the pages and you're back in your apartment or your hotel room. To be on the set and to be surrounded by people like (director of photography) Christopher Doyle, who is maybe one of the 10 great DP's of all time, and seven of them are dead. One of the three left is Christopher Doyle. He's a maniac, but he's brilliant and the look of the film was so gorgeous. You've got Rhys Ifans doing a couple days work on the movie, and Rory Cochrane, who's great. These are really dear friends and great actors who came in and were really happy to be a part of it.To wrap up, what would you like to say to anyone curious about the movie about why they should pick up the Blu-ray or DVD this week?Kelly Lynch: It's beautiful, it's unusual, and you'll see actors that you love doing things that you wouldn't imagine them doing. You have Bill Murray playing a ruthless gangster instead of a funny guy. You have Mickey Rourke playing a leading man, Megan Fox, who is lovely, ethereal and kind, and I get to do my blonde version of Snooki.

The story of the flight simulator genre was sketchy at best. The first thing that often cited the pedestrian zone graphics have most flight simulations. When released in other games around the same time comparison flight simulations usually have graphics that pale in comparison, everything else on the market. Let's face it, even players who were not as graphics-junkies be the first to admit that is very important in a game, realism emphasizes the importance of good graphics for a realistic setting background. It is difficult to feel immersed in a game and feel like you're really at the top of a real plane or helicopter, if the graphics are anything but realistic or are mandatory. The second common complaint is that the games play just not much fun. Although they are often flying around on a technical level, the aircraft enthusiasts, and the actual process of controlling the aircraft leaves a lot of fun on the scale factor needs addressing open interest. They are learning all too difficult and extremely complicated, so they are less attractive for most players. That is why it is such a pleasant surprise was when we came on air Pro Sim. FPS-mails of these two important questions that have long plagued the flight simulator genre. First, the graphics are not necessarily cutting edge, of course, push the envelope in terms of style and realism. Sitting in the cockpit of a Concorde Robin DR400 or feels authentic as you through the myriad of panels and controls in each model the number of aircraft available to welcome. The environments are also unique and well done, and you will receive the attention notice in several ways, every time you play. Flight Pro Sim is the problem of fun exploring the world is so interesting and enjoyable. Instead places the focus of the game only on the control of your aircraft, the exploration of the world itself is a major draw in its own right. models of the thousands of unique airports, on the mass of the symbols, scatter the globe, adds to the addiction of flying new routes and new sites, which a tug on the flight simulator genre, often gloomy, monotonous areas has presented. Of course the main attraction best player with the flight simulator genre of the incredible wealth of options available to them, and the realism of the control of each aircraft and flight Sim Pro's improved graphics and gameplay do not come at the expense of this important component of the genre. In fact, FPS well above the competition in this area as well, with an almost unlimited variety of customization options for your flights, such as weather, routes, etc. you'll never need to fly the same way twice. If you are a longtime fan of the genre, then Flight Sim Pro is a must-buy. If you are interested in the flight simulator genre, but are not quite sure where to start, FPS is a big purchase. The modern aesthetic, the abundance of possibilities and the ease of use make it ideal for veterans and newcomers alike.
