Best SF in Any Galaxy

Sat, 14 Sep 2002 03:57:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author _beowulf - I'm ashamed of myself. Farscape caught my interest from the first commercial I saw for it on the SciFi Channel. I've always been a fan of science fiction, and one of my favorite book series as a kid was Edgar Rice Burroughs', "John Carter of Mars,"...

Half.com: Half Full of Bugs -- Caveat Emptor

Tue, 5 Feb 2002 22:01:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author _beowulf - UPDATE 9/02: Half.com is now fully integrated in eBay's system, and things have improved somewhat. For that reason, I've raised my rating from "Avoid it" to "Below Average," because there's still work to be done. Buyer/Seller Ratings are now...

Thu, 30 Aug 2001 21:58:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author _beowulf - NOTE: This is not a review of AirPort (we all know it's awesome!). This review covers a new subscription service called Mobilestar which provides wireless internet access via the 802.11 protocol in public places like Starbucks and some hotels and...

Crisp Solutions UCommand 515 Touchscreen IR Remote Control: A 12-Step Remote

Thu, 30 Aug 2001 20:56:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author _beowulf - (Standing) Hello, my name is Dave and I'm a techno-weenie. I guess, in true addict fashion, that I don't really have a problem with being a techno-weenie; it's my loved ones who most often feel the pain. This is no more apparent than when I change my...

Hampered by PacHell

Mon, 30 Apr 2001 15:01:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author _beowulf - In March of 2000 I received a mailer from a company called Telocity that wanted me to subscribe to their DSL service. They made some big promises: always on connection, static IP address, no annual contract, first month free, AND good customer service. I...

Flight Crew, Prepare for Takeoff

Thu, 26 Apr 2001 15:33:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author _beowulf - Airport is cool. No doubt about it. I know that some of the negative opinions here mentioned buggy and spotty performance, but hey, look at their dates. It was new technology back then. We're now on the second or third release of the Airport software,...

MPTrip MP3-CD Player: I Know Why They Call It "Trip"...

Wed, 25 Apr 2001 20:10:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author _beowulf - ...'cause whoever designed and documented the thing was on drugs! Where to begin? The thing *won't* use CDRW's, only CD-R's -- and those have to be in "ISO 9660" format with all MP3's named in DOS 8.3 format. Oh yeah, and not too many files at the root...

Born Again Beemer

Wed, 25 Apr 2001 18:02:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author _beowulf - You know, I was never much of a BMW fan. I remember looking at them in the 80's and early 90's and I would see knobs on the dash when other cars were using sliders or push buttons, and analog gauges when others were using digital, and I'd think, "What's...

Best Mac I've Ever Owned

Wed, 25 Apr 2001 15:55:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author _beowulf - I've been using Macs since 1985 and I can say without reservation that this is the best Mac I've ever owned. Macs as a whole are known for their ease-of-use and reliability, but I think the iBook line epitomizes these features.
