Quick Look
Quick Look is a quick preview feature developed by Apple. It operates on the Mac OS X v10.5 “Leopard”. The Quick Look feature instantly let’s you preview your documents without ever having to open them. All it takes is a single click and your files are presented to you instantly. Quick Look works with almost every file including PDF documents, movies, Keynote presentations, Mail attachments, and Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files. Make the most of your Quick Look feature because it is just that handy. You can listen to songs, flick through movies, and more without even having to open up the document.
There are many features such as the index sheet, zooming and examining your trashed files. The index sheet feature allows you to look at many different windows without having to flick through them one by one. The previews of each file will shrink down to one grid, once you click on one window; it will automatically open up to full size. To zoom into different objects, you hold down the option key and a magnifying glass will appear. To zoom in and out, you use the scroll wheel on the mouse. To put a whole bunch of files into your trash is a complete hassle. Not only do you have to examine each one very closely, but once you trash them they are usually gone forever or you have to replace them back onto your desktop. Luckily Quick Look works with items in your trash so that you can quickly go thorough them to check if you deleted anything important.
Quick Look is actually very handy because it makes your life easier and less complicated. Quick Look makes your computer hassle free and finding documents are easier then ever. The time machine allows you to store your documents once you trashed them. When you go back to check the document, Quick Look is there to help you look at the file quickly and then restore it back onto your desktop. Quick Look doesn’t just look in the finder, but also your Mail and iChat. If you receive an email with a bunch of attachments, you can use Quick Look to put them all onto a grid and see the attachments all at once. Many people always need to find that one document that you saved many years ago. Quick Look helps you go through those hundreds of documents you saved quickly.
Six technology companies involved in no solicitation agreements were ordered to stop by the U.S. Department of Justice. The U.S. Department of Justice filed antitrust complaints towards Apple Inc., Google Inc., Intel Corp, Intuit Inc. and Pixar because of the no solicitation agreements that the companies took part in. The no solicitation agreements among the six companies prevented the companies from soliciting, or trying to hire each others employees by offering more money as an incentive. The agreements also prevented employees from the opportunity of having a better job at another company. Following the no solicitation agreements, the company executives at the six high-tech companies agreed not cold call each other employees. The no solicitation agreements were between Apple and Google, Apple and Adobe, Apple and Pixar, Google and Intel, and Google and Intuit.
The U.S. Department of Justice stated that the no solicitation agreements stopped competition and allowed the company to place a monopoly on their employees. The U.S. Department of Justice and the six companies had later reached a settlement. The settlement prevents the companies from making no solicitation agreements for the next five years. In general, that allows the companies to solicit freely.
I think the settlement was a good settlement. The no solicitation agreements prevented competition, which is very important by-product of capitalism. Business competition ensures that companies survive if it provides its customers with products and services that it needs. The U.S. Department of Justice is very strict on antitrust issues and I think it did the right thing. The six companies still don’t admit that they did something wrong and still insist that they made the agreements to maintain good relations with the other companies. That is still debatable. What do you think about this issue?
Bowers & Wilkins’ have struck again, except this time, with Hi-Fi headphones. The B&W P5 Hi Fi headphones surpass many others in the same price range with their extreme comfort, quality materials, and of course, sound quality. Before I go any further, here are the specs:

Quality: B&W’s P5s scream quality from the box opening to the materials on them. B&W have not taken the easy way out, and to use painted plastic, yet they only use the best materials. For instance, the pads are made from New Zealand Sheep Leather. Let me repeat that, the pads are made from New Zealand sheep leather. The outsides are made of quality aluminum bearing the Bowers & Wilkins name. The headband on top is also made of sheep leather as well. The P5’s feel is overall, flat out incredible.
Design: Bowers and Wilkins do a great job making the P5s stand out from other competitors with the different kind of style. These cans are on ear, but B&W tilted the pads slightly so the headband will sit more with more comfort toward the front of the head instead of slipping off the back. The colors are a modern silver and black combination giving them a pleasant look. The pads are also magnetic so changing the audio cord is easier (The connection to headphones is secured under the pads) to change out.
Features: The P5s have a microphone and remote on the cord allowing one to use these as a mobile headset. This can be a very handy feature for those that want to have high quality sound headphones, as well as a hands free headset for the road. On the box it specifically reads, “Made for ipod” and “Works with iPhone”. As I was listening to my iPod Nano (2nd Gen) I was attempting to turn the volume up with the remote. After being frustrated with my iPod, I checked the box again. It read that the remote and mic are supported by iPhone 3GS, iPod Nano (4th and 5th generation), iPod Touch (2nd generation), iPod classic (120gb/160gb), and the 3rd Generation shuffle. I then tried out the P5s on my 2nd Gen iPod touch, and the remote worked great. I have heard that the remote and mic are compatible with all iPods, as well as iPhones that offer the features this remote/mic is designed to work with so there’s no need for doubt about if it is compatible with the new Apple iPods. Bowers and Wilkins also include another cord for compatibility with all other sources. These cans also fold flat for storage in the case.
The Case: Usually I will say a bit about the case because I believe it is important, for a high quality product to come with protection. Bowers and Wilkins uses an all black quilted type soft case for the P5s. This case is very soft, but not as sturdy as some of the harder cases (like the Quiet Comforts, or the Koss Mv1s). This means that the P5s can easily be slipped into a backpack or purse without taking up too much space, but it sacrifices a bit of protection.
Sound Quality of the B&W P5s is incredible. Rich sounding bass and clear cut treble give these headphones high marks on my sound quality charts. Considering that all B&W make are Hi definition speakers, putting them in headphones definitely worked out. They managed to fit the enormous amount of sound quality into a pair of luxury headphones. The P5s also have good sound isolation considering that they cover the ear openings. This truly makes it a “Concert for One”. Needless to say, I was extremely pleased while listening to these headphones.

Modern technologies: 1-15 Given: 15
Compatibility: 1-15 Given: 12

OVERALL:93 /100 A-
The Bower and Wilkins P5 Hi Fi Mobile headphones prove to be worth more than the price tag that they are set at. Although the value for what comes in the box is great, the price tag is still a lot for the common consumer. I would recommend these for people who have the money to spend the P5s are worth every dime. Try them for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
