The 6300 is a great looking mobile phone from Nokia that combines a sleek design with excellent functionality. While not the most advanced phone ever created, it still performs very well indeed, is not too complicated and is great for the mainstream user.

The first thing you notice about the Nokia 6300 is the smooth, polished, stainless steel design. The surprisingly large screen is top notch, a full 2″ in length and supporting 16 million colors. Once you get past the technical beauty of the product, you can take advantage of stunning new features such as the 2 mega-pixel camera with an impressive 8 times digital zoom.

If you are looking for a means of entertainment, the 6300 will do the job nicely. A built-in FM radio, music player and video player will provide enough multimedia entertainment to liven up any boring moments. With up to 2GB expandable memory, you will be able to store plenty of music and videos on the phone.

This lightweight 91g mobile phone even lets you check your email; an increasingly popular feature on today’s mobiles. If you are looking to manage your life more efficiently then throw away your Organiser. The Nokia 6300 includes a ToDo list, notes, personal calendar, alarm clock, count down timer, and supports up to 1,000 contacts in its address book.

If you are looking for connectivity, the phone supports the latest Bluetooth technologies so that you can take advantage of the latest trends and if you are looking for a camera phone that won’t set you back as much, but still performs very well for everyday-users then this phone is the best in its class.

Yahoo! Tech has a review of the Vudu Movie Player that was announced back in April of this year.

The Vudu Movie Player is a set top box that you connect to the internet via broadband (no PC needed) and download movies to play on your TV. You can rent or buy the movies, and there’s over 5000 titles available to watch (a lot more than iTunes and Apple TV). At $400, it includes a 250 GB hard drive, enough for 100 hrs of standard definition movies. You don’t have to wait to download movies, because popular titles come pre-downloaded for the first 30 second snippets, and peer-to-peer networking enables a faster download (all the live Vudu boxes work to share the load).

So how did the review turn out?

Pretty good overall, but there was a concern about sound quality on some titles. Also, you don’t have the option to rent OR buy on all titles; sometimes you have to buy to view the movie, and sometimes you’re just allowed to rent it. Still, this is a pretty nice little setup that should improve as more titles and features are added (the software can update from its broadband connection).

Technewsworld has a nasty Halloween Security Horror story (scroll down a bit to see the story):

Beginning about three years ago, and for two-and-half years, a bot master worked on penetrating a very large company. Always keeping well below the threshold for the in-place security systems, this guy compromised almost every computer in the company.

I won’t spoil the outcome for you, you’ll have to read the story yourself! It’s truly a nightmare scenario for both employers and employees.
