Numerous lovers of the Artemis Fowl series fell in love with the character when the first book arrived due to the combination of funny, smart and James Bond style of the character along with the fairies. The series created by Eoin Colfer is right up there with the Percy Jackson and other best stuff especially written for the middle school level readers. That doesnt mean older readers cant read it, after all they have read Harry Potter and enjoyed...more

Its still not clear to most of us why Harry Potter became a rage among the readers and Artemis Fowl did not (though a strong fan following for the later series also cannot be denied). We should be just glad that we got both the series almost at the same time. There are, of course, some similarities between the two characters. Both of them live in a world of magic though its secret (the magic world) and has to remain that way. The way J K Rowling has written Harry Potter is slightly conservative, but Artemis Fowl innovates his way out of trouble (and creates anarchy). Dont Miss Out On the FunArtemis Fowl And The Time Paradox is the sixth book in the series and is just joy and nothing else. The only drawback is, it would be great if you have read the earlier parts in the series otherwise youd need time to grow accustomed to the characters. Youd be missing out on some fun also (if you dont know what happened in the earlier books). The Secret World Should Remain SecretIn the first book, Artemis Fowl comes a across a secret world where he captures Captain Holly Short so he could get out of magical siege (and get ransom for his future endeavors). Most of the supporting cast started...more

Writing best Netbook reviews is not as easy as it seems basically because all of them have the same specs. Hence, it is pretty hard to differentiate one from another. I have various gadgets and tech blogs running on the Internet and amongst them, Netbooks give me a really tough time. These tiny computers can be classified in to two main categories – the lower end ones with plain looks and the higher end sexy looking Netbooks. Note that the performance is largely the same and hence you pay more for the looks. I have reviewed quite a lot of Netbooks in my labs and I am writing about a few here. Dell Inspiron Mini 10v Netbook – I chose this Netbook to be on the list because of the chassis. It is as good as that found on the more expensive Dell products and the price is the same. It looks very attractive and you will certainly attract a lot of second looks while you are working on it at the local coffee shop. The performance is as good as that of the competition. Dell has been known to give tons of configuration options for their products but I didn't find much on the Dell Inspiron Mini 10v Netbook. This will disappoint you if you want to go for some higher end specs....more
