Akamai Streaming Services: Akamai - is it really worth it?

Thu, 3 May 2001 23:56:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author garbage - I'll start by giving a quick rundown on Akamai's network architecture. Akamai has "Edge" servers located at major ISP's all around the globe. Using a system of complex

algorithms, the media stream should theoretically be delivered from the most...

Linz - an underrated tourist destination

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 12:14:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author garbage - Linz is the third largest city in Austria with about 300,000 inhabitants. Most tourists who come to Austria tend to flock to Vienna and Salzburg, but never even think of visiting Linz. Linz is located directly between Vienna and Salzburg, so why not...

Nice and compact, but poor LCD

Mon, 25 Sep 2000 00:54:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author garbage - I bought the Ericsson GF-768 in late 1998. My main attraction to the phone was its size and the fact that it looks great. At the time, it was the smallest phone available on the market. However, the benefits of size has a few drawbacks.

Gold Coast - something for everyone

Review Topic: Sights & Attractions

The Gold Coast is a wonderful, sun-drenched, beach-lined coast to the south-east corner of Queensland, Australia. It's about an hour and a half by plane to the north of Sydney and about an...

Ideal first-time receiver

Sun, 6 Aug 2000 04:28:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author garbage - (This review refers to the STR-DE845)

After about 3 months of research, I had narrowed my shopping list down to two receivers - the Sony STR-DE845 and the Sony STR-DE935. Over here in Australia, the latter model is priced about $A350 (USD210)...

Gorgeous city, but traffic is chaotic

Mon, 17 Jul 2000 03:11:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author garbage - Having lived in a number of large cities around the world including New York, Boston, Kuala Lumpur and Sydney, there is no doubt that Sydney is the most beautiful city in the world. I have now been living here for 15 years. Her harbour is breathtaking...

This is heaven

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 08:09:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author garbage - We went to Vanuatu during Christmas in 1998 and stayed at Le Lagon Parkroyal. The surprising thing about Vanuatu is that it is a lot smaller and a lot less commercialised and underdeveloped than I had imagined. The airport is tiny. We boarded a bus...

Catchy songs, no talent

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 02:25:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author garbage - I went through a punk rock phase about 4 years ago, and this was one of the albums that I played over and over again. "Dookie" is an album full of fast-strumming, head-banging songs, guitar-driven songs. The one thing they have going for them...

What a brilliant guitar part!

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 19:05:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author garbage - If you haven't heard this song on the radio, where have you been? This is one of the most recognisable rock anthems of the 90's.

This song was written in a time when the lead singer, Anthony Kiedis, was addicted to heroin ("I don't ever...

A new side to the Chili Peppers

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 08:02:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author garbage - The most notable thing about "One Hot Minute" is how different it sounds to all their other albums. The reason for this is that Dave Navarro, from Jane's Addiction" recorded the guitars for this album. John Frusciante, the guitarist on...

Ideal first album for new RHCP fans

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 07:30:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author garbage - This album surpassed "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" (1991) in sales just recently, but overall, it doesn't quite live up to their effort from nearly a decade ago. Having said that, this is an excellent album with some very clever, catchy songs. If...

Sheer musical genius!

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 04:05:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author garbage - This album brought worldwide commercial success to a band that was previously considered the most talented band not to have made it big. Musically, this album contains some of the most difficult guitar and bass parts ever imagineable. The album has a...

BIG disappointment

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 02:15:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author garbage - I upgraded from the Sony MZ-R30 to the Sony MZ-R55 and found the 'upgrade' to actually be more of a 'downgrade'. Yes, the newer model MZ-R55 is much, much smaller than most MD players/recorders. Yes, it has a much nicer remote with the handy backlit...

A definite winner!

Sun, 18 Jun 2000 09:41:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author garbage - This is definitely my favourite piece of equipment in my house. The Sony MDS-S39 MiniDisc Recorder is simple to set up. Do you hate spending 30 minutes fiddling with a tiny control on your portable MD trying to type in the title of a song? Well, with...
