Wearing the screen on the outside, you want it to be scratch resistant and for use, you want the direct feel of the resistive screen.

]]> Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird by Jaap van der Velde http://grismar.net/2008/06/11/mozilla-thunderbird/comment-page-1/#comment-68 Jaap van der Velde Wed, 22 Jul 2009 22:47:50 +0000 http://grismar.net/?p=8#comment-68 Only fair to say: I've stopped using Thunderbird by now. If I had to pick an offline mail reader now, I would choose it again. But using many devices to read it (smartphone, media center) and having several PCs (work, home, laptop) makes it impractical to use anything that is not accessible online all day. It's GMail (with Google Calendar) for me now, in case you're wondering... Only fair to say: I’ve stopped using Thunderbird by now.

I would love to see offline PhotoSynths, but that's not an option (yet). Yeah, too bad MS only offers some of their image tools offline like this one.

]]> Comment on Hellboy by Jaap van der Velde http://grismar.net/2008/10/01/hellboy/comment-page-1/#comment-32 Jaap van der Velde Wed, 31 Dec 2008 10:03:58 +0000 http://grismar.net/?p=48#comment-32 I agree with you, my opinion is just that :). I guess it helps to know that I -really- like the Hellboy character in the comics and I felt he deserved a better movie. I feel the comic character has more depth and background that the movie shows, it degrades him to a 2-dimensional excuse for a fight. If a movie is going to be like that, I prefer Jean-Claude van Damme or Jackie Chan - no expectations, just action. Also, I think it really matters how you look at film to begin with and it doesn't help that I tend to watch a LOT of them and take it a bit (too?) seriously. I like films like Hellboy in general though. Nothing against a little fantasy, action, etc. But I like to be able to believe in a movie and not be distracted by the fact that it is a movie. Suspense of disbelief is important and with a movie like Hellboy there were just too many things that got in the way. Thanks for the feedback though :) I agree with you, my opinion is just that :).

Well, it's always the same problem with reviews to a film. It lies all in the preferences of the viewer. I like films like Hellboy. Pictures you have never seen bevor. Sure, just pictures, but nice ones :). It's not always needed, that films have a good plot or a meaningful story. Sometimes you need only many bad guys and one or some good guys. Painted with some special effects or an extraordinary character. I don't wanna say your opinion is wrong, i just added mine :) Btw. nice website. Fly Safe, Cokai aka Sandrine Starfire. Hi Grismar !
