rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author blankgm - I admit that I am a fan of Apple products. Apple, typically produces a simple, quality product that is easy to use and which simplifies my life - which is why I am totally shocked at the utterly dismal results of Mobile Me. The concept is great -...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blankgm - You can pretty much count on Apple to really hype their lead product and the Apple 3G iPhone (Smart Phone) was no different when it came to that hype. Unfortunately, writing a good evaluation of the iPhone will be difficult - since most of what you...

Sun, 28 Oct 2007 20:35:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blankgm - If you haven't seen the hype or buzz - Apple is advertising over 300 new features which makes me wonder just what it takes to be a feature over there at Apple. To be fair I am sure that there really are that many features, but I believe the normal user...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blankgm - This evening I picked up a Panasonic DMR-ES15 to replace an integrated TV/DVD unit, and what a difference this unit makes! The DMR-ES15 not only plays DVDs it records them - and it records them to almost any format including DVD_RAM; DVD-R; DVD-R DL;...

Excellent if you like the series - No real DVD Extras

Tue, 9 Aug 2005 19:37:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author blankgm - BSG is of course a re-make of the 70's Sci-Fi series. Since little can be done in such a forum to dissuade someone from their feelings of the series, I will dispense with what, in my mind, makes this an excellent series and get right to a review of...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blankgm - A little more than a year ago I purchased an iMac at the local Comp-USA for a Unix class I was taking. The longer I had the computer, the more I used it (I am a Windows person by trade). Eventually I got to the point where I was spending more time on...

A bargain at twice the price!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blankgm - First - this is a draft in progress. The paragraphs (let alone the sentences) are quite rough, and lengthy as well. Once the tests are completed, the software run through it's paces and I have all my comments down - Ill smooth it out for the finished...
