Simple, elegant, robust (supposedly).

The one knife, which you can use at all occasions, camping trips, barbecue, while doing some work in the yard, without it being a compromise with the blade length or not being sturdy enough or too much so.
My favourite is size Number 8.

Writers, scientists - all people working with some data and/or ideas have always had something to scribble on. They had to lug it with them though or memorize it.
Today we all work with data whether we like it, or notice it or not, and the amount of it is huge. I refuse to forget the first words of my daughter, in order to remember what size shoes in which store I have to buy her.

Opera, much as the eponymous artform, is rather a lifestyle and at that one that many won't understand, not at the first contact, at least. But even if badly written websites will tell you that you cannot use their website with this browser, and some of the best third party plugins, like the ones from Evernote, don't work, you will find that this browser simply gets you and IT will adapt to YOU.

Do you have a sibling? Are you ready to forgive him anything? What is redepmtion? Can anyone be redeemed? What is selflessness?
The mission is a movie that raises more questions than it gives answers, but they are all the right ones. No cast can save a bad script and not screenwriter can save a bad story. All of the above are excellent here. Enjoy when you can get a moment to think after it.

Miss the 90s? Here you get the good old modem dial-up sound!

If there is one movie that you want inhabiting your children's dreams, it's this one. Friendship, obsessions, being true, love and beauty are matters that are treated while giving you a giggle in every scene. A movie to motivate any child to read.
Jim Henson's master work. With the young and marvelous Jennifer Connely, David Bowie in a role he is most believable in - King of the Goblins.

The horror, the camaraderie, the remorse, the pain, the lack of judgement against soldiers - all those make this graphically perfect cinematographic story an indelible impression, almost as a personal memory.
The soundtrack is a pleasure on its own - it transports you to a world of ochre, yelow, brown, grey, bazaars, white houses, pverty, pain, fight for life.

This is no pseudo 3D isometric Mah Jong - you can turn and zoom in and out of the tiles at will.
If you have not played this game, you do not understand yet the potential of the iPad in gaming.

Ascendancy would have been a cult game even if it would have come out just now and had only its graphical beauty. This veteran coming from the MS-DOS times has a soundtrack of legend, graphics that you never tire of and a gameplay, that is intuitive, yet doesn't leave you yawning. It will give you endless hours of stategy fun.

This fresh, citrus-based, but definitely manly fragrance can give you a boost to start your day in a thunderstorm of pleasant olfactory notes or to end it in a sensual, but not intrusive way.
By Dior.

Love can be violent. Violence always leads tragedy. Tragedy leads to sadness. This is conventional wisdom.
This movie will teach you that it might be as well like this:
- love leads to tragedy
- violence can be sad
- the wise can be violent
This is a cult French movie with Vincent Cassel and Monica Belucci and Tchéky Karyo.

Forget who the moviemakers are, think about that part of your parents' house that you were convinced about was inhabited by trolls, kobolds or someting else that did not resemble your neigbours' cat, which in fact was what was behind the shadow that startled you.
This movie will yank back that acute feeling of magic being part of life, even in its ugliest moments. Not a movie, but an experience.

This movie is generally misunderstood because what it really is, isn't about fantasy or about magical worlds, those are merely instruments in the story talking about the people, who often don't know how special they are. It is about finding out that everything that happens in your life will converge at some point in life to make the best or the worst come out.
Buy it or rent it, but watch it!

Don't expect diving with it, nor waterproofness. But it is one great water resisting, perfectly padded sleeve.
Using the iPad through the transparent side of it works perfectly even if your hand is somewhat wet. The back of it is very well padded, has a pocket to eventualy stow away the earbuds and a strap through which you could slip your hand and hold the iPad so as not to drop it.

For you who keep yourself company, but are scared of the tranquility.
