The Strokes: harsh 'pop' sound with a casual, nostalgic image...

Sat, 26 Jan 2002 18:14:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - I’ve owned a CD release of this album by The Stokes for some time now, and am quite glad that I’m finally sitting down to say a few words about it. Now, I’m a huge fan of music, and I will listen to anything at least once; this is not to say, however,...

The Silver Jews go for a Starlight Walk

Thu, 17 Jan 2002 22:22:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - Well, there certainly is a lot to say about the band that lead to construct the musical group “Pavement” known internationally for its ‘garage rock’ sound and melancholy lyrics. David Berman, Steve Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich founded the Silver Jews...

Sideways Stories: Help develop that strange sense of humor...

Wed, 16 Jan 2002 13:10:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - This is truly a great book for kids. Recently, I was talking to a friend of mine in class (I'm in grade 13 of high school), and we came onto the topic of old children’s books. We had both read the book "Sideways Stories from Wayside School" and both...

The RS-1: Phones for the musical purest...

Tue, 15 Jan 2002 18:53:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - Before purchasing these headphones a number of months ago, I had been using the Grado SR-125s, and I had been blown away by their sound each and every time I heard them since I bought them a little more than 6 months before that.

But let me...

Forks: Forks, when a knife just wont cut it...

Mon, 22 Oct 2001 20:48:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - From the Queen of England to the most common of poppers, there's not a soul on earth who does not deserve a good fork. Since the dawn of food consumption, one has always needed a small, portable vessel in which to transfer items of nutrition towards the...

A good-sounding portable, despite some design flaws...

Mon, 8 Oct 2001 20:27:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - Well, well, well...I'm writing another review, how about that? Due to the popularity of my little review on my Grado SR-125s, I figured it couldn't hurt to write one on this little unit that I picked up about a month ago.

Let's put this unit...

Headphones for the music enthusiast...

Mon, 1 Oct 2001 23:14:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - First off, I want to say that I'm not somebody who just bought these things and am scrambling to write a review about them; I've had these beauties for a while, and I'm finally buckling down to write about them. In fact, I have a pair of RS-1s on order,...

Good story, bad movie...

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 18:38:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - First off, I have to say that this is one of the better stories I have seen in a movie in a while. It is a true story about the life of a drug lord, and is very gripping and dramatic. I think that a lot could have been done with this story, and I do...

Expensive sound at a reasonable price...

Mon, 2 Apr 2001 17:46:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - At way less that $100 these speakers are a real steal. I purchased a pair about a week ago, and they sound just great. I had been using some really old Altec Lansing’s before these (my old ones were pretty crappy), and I thought I would see what they...

My second Micro$oft optical mouse...

Tue, 27 Mar 2001 18:43:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - This is the second Microsoft optical mouse that I have purchased for home use; and this is what I have to say about it:

I purchased this mouse about a week ago to replace the Logitech one that I had purchased not long before. I returned the...

Logitech Wheel Mouse: I really wish this mouse worked better...

Wed, 21 Mar 2001 18:44:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - Logitech has been making quality pointing equipment for quite a while now and I have used a couple of their products before with no complaints. Recently, however, I put together a new system and thought I would like to try their optical mouse that they...

Left Behind: A complete analyses...

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 11:05:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - I cannot believe that people are giving this movie good reviews. I nearly walked out on this one several times during the movie; the only reason I stayed was to give me more ammunition to write this review. I hope to break this movie down to show you...

Wacom Graphire Pen & Mouse Set: Good tool, but don't get rid of your mouse...

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 21:58:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - I received the Wacom Graphire tablet as a Christmas gift just recently and I have to say that, though it is a very good tool, it seems to lack the quality craftsmanship that I was expecting. The tool is very versatile, however, and is still very useful;...

Great phone for the casual user...

Fri, 29 Dec 2000 15:42:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - If you are new to the mobile phone market and are looking for a nice small cell phone with lots of features, but you don't want to spend an arm and a leg, I would definitely recommend this cell phone for you. I received this phone as a Christmas gift...

AFI's Top 100 Films in 100 yrs.: For The Truly Pathetic Loser...

Sun, 24 Dec 2000 19:08:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - Here's a good example of something that every pathetic moron needs in order to help him or her start a conversation:

"Hey guys!...did you know that 'The Godfather' came in third in AFI's top 100 movies of all time? I really think it...

miniPiano: Ahhh! My ears!!!

Sun, 24 Dec 2000 18:16:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - Why would anyone want to use something like this? It is literally painful to use. I think that this has to be one of the stupidest programs I have seen for the Palm handheld organizer. When will people learn that this kind of stuff just doesn't work...

Yahoo! Geocities: Absolute trash...

Mon, 18 Dec 2000 18:56:55 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - I can see how some people might like Geocities for publishing their websites; but these are the same people who use those stupid web banners thinking they are going to make a fortune one penny at a time. Geocities is trash, period. Any site that says...

Still going strong

Mon, 18 Dec 2000 18:35:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - I have had this watch for nearly two years and it is still working flawlessly. After being dropped, stepped on, shot with a paintball, and banged against many walls and floors, it is still in good working condition. I have not had to change the battery...

The relaxed keyboard...

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 21:12:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - I've been using this keyboard for around 18 months or so and believe that this is the keyboard for the 'relaxed typist'. It feels a lot more comfortable in almost any position you are in. I often do not sit directly in front of my keyboard, but often a...

Precise pointing

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 19:01:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - I am not a big fan of Micro$oft, but when I needed an extremely precise pointing device for accurate graphics manipulation quite a while ago, the only thing out on the market that I thought would suit my needs was this mouse. It is a very good mouse,...

Desktop: Is there any reason not to use it?...

Thu, 14 Dec 2000 22:11:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - I didn't think so. The Palm Desktop manager may not be perfect, but it is the best thing you could ever want for your Palm. You automatically get the palm desktop manager when you buy a Palm handheld organizer and it is EXTREMELY useful. You can use...

TealPaint: Almost completely useless...

Thu, 14 Dec 2000 19:34:33 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - I cannot see any purpose in buying a product like this. I have a Palm Vx and I downloaded the demo of this Palm software. I have to admit that it is probably the best image manipulation products out there...but who really needs this? I could see this...

FreeCell: Why in the world am I reviewing this?...

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 22:33:38 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - Alright, FreeCell is a good game. But that does not explain why I am writing a review about it. What am I doing with my life? This is absolutely pathetic. Nothing against Epinions.com or other people who have written reviews about FreeCell, but...

Deerfield.com FTP Serv-U: A good FTP tool for the average user...

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 21:49:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - Serv-U is definitely the easiest FTP server software I have ever used. After installing the software, it took me approximately 6 minutes to set up an FTP with a few users with different permissions and download quotas. Mind you I have set up an FTP...

Noisy piece of junk...

Sun, 3 Dec 2000 19:06:55 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Mad-Sci - I currently have two printers, one of which is a Canon BJC-4300, and the other an Epson Stylus Color 640. I have owned the Canon for quite a few years, and it has never once given me any problems. On the other hand, my Epson that I purchased about a...
