Best Afghani Food in the Bay Area

Sat, 5 Feb 2000 21:37:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Naval - Warning: This is a Vegetarian perspective on the restaurant.

I've tried a number of Afghani restaurants in the SF Bay Area, and Helmand is definitely the best. The menu is basically identical to the sister restaurant in Boston, although that...

Long lines, abusive service, dirty forks, and great food

Mon, 31 Jan 2000 04:09:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Naval - Since I'm a vegetarian, and don't particularly care for soy sauce or salty flavors, Chinese food is always among my least favorite. House of NanKing, however, is another story entirely. If you've never been there, it's a MUST go, one of a kind dining...

A Wildebeest in Snail's Clothing

Sat, 23 Oct 1999 01:56:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Naval - After looking at a number of European sports sedans, I recently purchased an Audi S4, in favor of the E36 body BMW M3. The car is very fast, refined, sporty, luxurious, and has all-wheel drive. Unfortunately, it doesn't handle quite as well as the M3,...

Sony KV-32XBR200: A Flat Screen To Flatten Your Wallet

Wed, 8 Sep 1999 06:53:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Naval - If you're trapped between the poor quality and washed out colors offered by large-sized projection screens and the high cost and low reliability of plasma and flat panel displays, then the Sony Wega series is right for you.

Pros:

Got Disk?

Tue, 31 Aug 1999 20:38:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Naval - I purchased an Iomega Jaz 2GB after realizing that Zip drives are essentially obsolete for backing up modern hard drives. I also wanted something with a good transfer rate - capable of running applications and digital video / MP3s without noticeable...

A Simple Start to a Home Theater

Sun, 29 Aug 1999 22:08:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Naval - I bought the Toshiba SD 3108 since comparable Sony DVD players offering composite video output were way overpriced. Although the player has performed adequately well, and was an affordable purchase, it has caused some problems.

Pros:

The little coupe that could

Sat, 28 Aug 1999 23:18:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Naval - I own a 1996 Acura Integra RS coupe that I've had for three years now. The car is reasonably fast (thanks to the manual transmission), great for storage and carrying things, and reasonably comfortable. A weak A/C and the occasional rattle and shake mar...

Old Technology to Rip-Off New Users

Thu, 19 Aug 1999 22:18:52 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Naval - I'm not much of an audiophile, but I do wish that I'd done my homework before putting down $1800 for incredibly outdated technology backed by a large marketing budget. The Bose systems are visually appealing, compact, and integrated, and Bose customer...

Motorola StarTAC 7000g: A pocket rocket to break your bank and fry your brain

Thu, 19 Aug 1999 22:03:38 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Naval - The Startac 7000G is, at first glance, a sleek and sexy phone. At one point in time, it would have caused belt clip envy in many a corporate yuppie. Even now, its small size, Star-Trek appearance, and one-flip answering justify it in some cases. However,...

PacBell: Wireless, friendless, and useless

Thu, 19 Aug 1999 21:47:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Naval - I should be one of PacBell's best customers. I pay them for 1500 minutes per month. I make lots of longs distance calls. I purchase expensive phones from them. In exchange, Pacbell gives me frustrating service, lousy coverage, outrageous fees, and never...
