Disappointed in Atlanta2008-07-19
DO NOT buy these HP Lightscribe discs. They are unreliable. My PC recovery discs (2 different sets) have both failed.

For absolute top quality DVD+R media or CDs, buy Taiyo-Yuden. I believe that Amazon sells these, or others do too. They're slightly more expensive, but you will not have failures.
Great Lightscribe DVD's2007-05-23
The HP Lightscribe are as good as any on the market. I've had more success with this brand than any other. I've used lightscribe for some time now and will not go back to any other lable type DVD's.
For a darker burn there is no reason to burn twice. Go to [...]lightscribe[...] and download the ELCU program for lightscribe drives. This is a contrast inhancement program that will do the job for you. It does extend the time of a burn, but not as much as burning 2 times or more.
This program also has the ability to reset your contrast to the original state and uninstalls complete. I'm using XP Pro SP2, I've also used it on Media Center and Vista.
Time consuming, but great results2007-05-11
>>>Your first copy WILL NOT be as dark as you expected.<<<

If you're still shopping around > get the Verbatim spindle, as it seems to print much darker on your first try.

If you're stuck with the HP spindle > here is the trick: don't panic if your first copy doesn't look good. The disks have a little ring in the middle that tells the burner exactly where to start/resume burning > this means you can put THE SAME disk in the burner and re-print the image, thus resulting in a much darker print. If you have the time to tinker with it, burn it 2-3 or even 4 times for the results you're looking for.

Trust me > I had the same exact reaction at first, but I love working with lightscribe now.

Problem solved.
Reliable2007-03-26
After burning hundreds of labels and videos, the HP LightScribe 16x DVD-R discs have proven to be reliable.

Yes, the label contrast is a bit light, but this is a known issue with all (current) LightScribe discs. The LightScribe website, as well as all the manuals that I have seen, suggest burning the label a second time for better contrast. Black appears as a dark gray after one burn, but looks much darker after a second pass.
Below expectations2007-01-12
The label burned with my lightscribe turned out to be far too light and blurry

Core 2 Duo Scaling
Laptop Scaling Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between? This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck. Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature. The Core 2 Duo Processor Intel has two lines of Core 2 Duo processors: notebook and desktop. Core 2 Duo for notebooks is codenamed Merom, while Core ...
Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me? Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents. User types: Home user | Budding novelist | Digital photographer | Entrepreneur | Corporate cog | Frequent flier Home user  The home user demands a lot from a printer. The device must tackle everything from a book report to a newsletter to the occasional snapshot--all without breaking the budget. This is why for most home users, the best choice is a versatile and affordable printer, such as a small-office/home-office color ...
