Dell 22 Inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor

Dell 22″ Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor (E228WFP) It’s a big bad screen and I love its place on my desk but that upping that contrast ratio to higher than ‘is everything covered in dust?’ would make this beast that extra bit sweeter.

So here’s the quiz, am I the only thinking the contrast ratio on the massive Dell 22″ Wide-screen Flat Panel screen sucks… it’s freakin’ grey! What does the Ultrasharp 22″ look side-by-side? If it counts I have a Dell 20″ Ultrasharp Widescreen Flat Panel sitting alongside the new 22″ and it looks fantastic, I’m referring to the Ultrasharp 20″ not the beast, so what else is holding back Goliath?

Sony Ericsson P1i Wont Play Music In-call

Grrr… sucks!

My brother pranked my phone this morning, you pick up and a girl comes on and starts talking dirty with you. She wants to meet and stuff.  At the end of it you’re left wondering ‘what in hell’ until someone (usually witin the next minute, or end of the day) tells you it was an automated conversation; an MP3 played over the call to fool you.

For this to happen the caller’s phone must support playing audio during an in-call conversation, this is disabled by default on the Sony Ericsson P1i which means no pranking for the likes of us. I’ve sent a request to Sony Ericsson, hopefully this will be included in the next firmware upgrade. You also need to have Caller ID disabled so that the call comes up as Private Number. I don’t know how to do this as yet on the Sony Ericsson P1i. Anyone had better luck?

If… we get this feature released expect endless hours of laugh on your phone as you prank all your contacts that were out drinking/clubbing the night earlier. Hell, for an MP3 it’s a great way to see how your victims react to on-the-spot advances!

(as soon as this feature is introduced I will start hosting the files for sharing)
