Diamond Star: Audrey Hepburn

A 44-year-old movie character with a soft spot for a well-known jewelry store has been voted cinema's most stylish character of all time, reports Yahoo News.

Holly Golightly, played by Audrey Hepburn in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's, topped the list of best-dressed movie characters in a poll of 4,000 people, conducted by the BBC's What to Wear magazine.

Based Truman Capote's novel, the classic, romantic 1961 movie helped bring attention to the Tiffany & Co. building on Fifth Avenue, thanks in part to the character's admiration for the luxury jeweler's stylish atmosphere.

Second place went to Uma Thurman's Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction and Cameron Diaz's Natalie Cook in Charlie's Angels.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

I have discovered that blog and if I might I would like to hint you some beneficial suggestion. Maybe you can publish more posts reffering to this one. I would love to read more about it!

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Do you people have a twitter page? I looked for one on bing but could not find one, I would really love to become a fan! Thank you

This blog is somewhat interesting. I am delightful I found it because I discovered some tips on this website. Keep blogging.

What I wouldnt give to have a debate with you about this. You just say so many things that come from nowhere that Im pretty sure Id have a fair shot. Your blog is great visually, I mean people wont be bored. But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed with your generic understanding of this topic.

Thanks, I have just now been searching for facts about this matter for a while and yours is the best I have found so far.

I have been exploring online more than 3 hours today, yet I never saw any interesting page like yours. It's pretty worth plenty for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good info as you did, the web will be much more valuable than ever before.

This website is of great interest to me. I am happy I found it. Thank you.

Awesome blog! This is the type of knowledge that should be displayed around the online community. I would like to read more of this.

Do you people have a twitter page? I looked for one on bing but could not discover one, I would honestly enjoy to become a follower! Thank you very much

It's certainly a nice and worthy piece of knowledge. I'm happy that you shared this useful information with us. Please keep us informed like this. Thanks for sharing.

Do you people have a twitter page? I looked for one on yahoo but could not locate one, I would clearly enjoy to be a fan! Thanks a lot

It is my pleasure to drop by your website and to enjoy your tips. All of them make sense and are very helpful. Keep posting.

Among the most acceptable sites I have pick up on for tips within this definite niche market. I'll be coming back daily for new articles.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Good website. I am happy I discovered your website by accident, I emailed the link to my friends.

The most complicated thing is to find a blog post with distinctive and actual content but i think you offer something distinctive. Keep it like this.

I found your blog on Google today and really liked it.. i bookmarked it and will be back to read out some more tomorrow

I'm really not hoping to hurt W isconsin is emotions, but I honestly think that it is hilariously executed. I ca notbelieve I m issed it ahead of. It looks to me like Bing experimented with tougher than they did.

It is great to locate one thing value looking at. Appears to be like everybody is starting a web site and tossing up whatever pops into their mind. Commonly it does not make great sense. I'm pleased to see that just isn't the situation right here.

Like other commenters, I just ca notget on board together with your argument for Aol. Sorry. Maybe there is a v ision there, but in contrast the rest of th is 12 months is crop, it entirely fails to capture a cohesive model essence.

some surpr ises but a nice summary of the yr that was.

Good post, I will bookmark this page as reverensi good blog.

Youre so correct. Im there with you. Your blog is absolutely worth a read if any person comes across it. Im lucky I did due to the fact now Ive got a entire new view of this. I didnt realise that this problem was so crucial and so universal. You undoubtedly put it in perspective for me.
