Review: Samsung Chromebook 3

By Anonymous
I purchased the Samsung Chromebook 3 recently on Black Friday. I bought it for use as my computer in high school and college. So far I have used it for about 5 days. I have used it to edit google docs, listen to music on spotify, read the news, and study for quizzes on various topics. It has performed very well even when I am multitasking. The keys are a nice size and are good to type on. The Samsung Chromebook 3 has an 11.6 inch screen and 2gb of ram. The Chromebook also turns on very fast even when it has been fully shut down. The Chromebook also does not have a wide variety of apps and so far can only download applications from the chrome web store. However, the Chromebook is ideal for use in schools and colleges because most of the work that is done currently is done online in Google applications. I recommend the chromebook to people that need a computer that is secure and people that do most of their work online. I would not recommend the chromebook to people that need a lot of downloaded applications. All in all, I rate the chromebook 4.7 our of 5 because the chromebook is lacking in a few features such as an equivalent of the hot corners setting on Macbooks and the ability to have multiple desktops and the ability to swipe between them. Overall, the chromebook is a great computer that is fast and fairly cheap.

      Definitely a MacBook. Chromebooks are cool but you can't actually install apps on them. The app store and all possible apps are on the Chrome Web Store, which is very limited. Also this Chromebook isn't the fastest and if you had to get a chromebook, I would recommend a chrome book with at least 4 gigabytes of RAM instead of this chromebook's 2GBs of RAM. RAM is a way of measuring the speed of a computer. Our school computers have from 4 to 8 GB, I can't find which. Thanks.

    I totally agree on the Macbook. The chromebook is what I am going to be getting to do work on, and is just suitable for the needs of someone doing work, not anything else.

    Interesting but this seems a little off topic.

      This was a post I wrote a while ago when: "I [Was] planning to temporarily switch the focus of my blog to product reviews until the holiday season is over."

Origins of the Bycycle

By Anonymous
In 1869,  Eugène Meyer of Paris invented the high-wheeler (aka. the "penny farthing") and the wire-spoke tension wheel. This was one of the earliest predecessors to the modern bicycle. With front wheels up to 60 inches in diameter and a direct drive system, they were hard to mount and painful to crash because of the height and hard to ride because of the high center of gravity. Despite all that, the penny farthing took off in popularity.  Next came the manufacturing of a rear-wheel, chain-drive  bicycle with similarly sized wheels and pneumatic tires. These inventions made the bike even more popular because the idea of riding a bicycle with symmetrical wheels wrapped in tires filled with air was a lot more fun than bouncing around high above the street on solid tires. An effect of the huge popularity of bicycles was that cities and municipalities began paving roads to accommodate the flood of cyclists. That's right. Roads were built for bikes. Remember th...

The DIfference Between Top Rope Climbing, Lead Climbing and Bouldering

By Anonymous
Top Rope Climbing Recently I had the opportunity to try both top rope climbing and bouldering at EVO in Portland. I also learned about lead climbing. Rock Climbing is the most basic of all of these three methods. This is when you climb up a fairly tall rock wall and you are tethered to the top of the wall and to a belayer. This is the safest of these methods when done correctly. Lead Climbing Lead Climbing is when you are climbing up a rock wall but are not tethered to the top of the wall. As you climb you clip your rope into different carabiners on the rock wall. You are also tethered to a belayer on the ground. When you are lead climbing if you fall, you will generally fall from 6 to 20 feet (Twice the distance from you to your last tie-off point). You generally want a belayer who is heavier than you so that when you fall they don't fly into the air. Bouldering Bouldering is when you climb up a wall that is about 16 feet tall without being strapped/h...

Petzl Adjama Harness Review

By Anonymous
     I recently purchased this harness and used it at EVO Rock and Fitness. This harness is meant for mountaineering and ice climbing but it works fine when sport climbing as well. While I was using the harness, I climbed a few top-rope climbing routes with grades from 5.6 to 5.11 and boulder problems* from VO to V4. The harness was less constricting and allowed for a wider range of motion than all of the other harnesses I have used in the past. Even though people usually remove their harness before bouldering, I decided that because this harness did not restrict my range of movement that I would leave it on. There was no difference between bouldering with this harness on and bouldering with this harness off. There are also many other cool features on this harness. The gear loops for hanging climbing gear (Quickdraws, carabiners, slings, cams, bolts, extra rope, etc.) are filled with hard plastic in the front of the harness so that it is easy to reach your climbing gear. ...
