The best iPod remote so far

Fri, 29 Jul 2005 16:19:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - Griffin Technology's AirClick is a great device to control your iPod remotely. Before the AirClick, I used a 16 foot audio cable to extend my iPod from my stereo system to a desired location in the room. The AirClick allows me to set my iPod safely...

Apple iPod (20 GB, PC - M8741LL/A) MP3 Player: The ipod: A life altering addiction

Fri, 1 Jul 2005 15:54:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - It started out as a dream in a little cube box, and turn to a reality last year. No, a necessity. If I forget this nifty piece of equipment at home for even a trip across town, I notice quickly. I am an iPod addict! The things I knew before I...

A just-about-sufficient iBook

Wed, 1 Jun 2005 15:36:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - It does what its supposed to, but not right out of the box. I purchased this iBook as an upgrade to my old G3 700 that I had for two years. The G3 couldn't handle my FileMaker Pro database for my business. This one can... After I upgraded the RAM to...

A "Must Have" for People with Allergies.

Sat, 13 Mar 2004 15:39:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - When an anti-allergen furnace filter isn't enough you'll want to consider this one-room air purifier. The results are dramatic. My wife has allergies, and we buy micro-allergen filters to help, but sometimes its just not enough. So we bought this...

Practical player, but Mac users beware

Tue, 30 Dec 2003 17:46:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - The Lyra is a practical player. Its very tiny, and comes with an arm band that is very convenient if you want to use it while working out. The controls are conveniently placed and easy to use, and the sound is great. It has a preset equalizer that...

The perfect affordable player for Mac users

Sat, 20 Dec 2003 15:57:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - The best thing about this player is that it completely integrated with iTunes (a driver is included for PC users). You just connect the USB cable from the Nomad to your computer, launch iTunes, and a tiny icon of the player shows up in the side menu of...

Hedonism Iii: Enjoy something different

Wed, 3 Jul 2002 17:39:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - Hedonism III, or Hedo 3, as it is referred to by the resort's regulars is a resort with a personality to match its name. Hedo 3 is run by a resort company that owns many of the resorts in Jamaica, and Hedo 2 (an older version of Hedo 3 with a slightly...

The best overall IPA

Wed, 3 Jul 2002 16:31:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - Since I started appreciating the taste of hops a couple of years ago, I have search far and wide for an IPA in a bottle that can match the quality of a brew pub IPA. I found it in Lagunita's IPA.

The aroma is so hoppy and flowery as you pour...

One of the best IPAs in a bottle

Wed, 3 Jul 2002 13:30:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - The best thing about Hop Devil is that it lives up to its name. It has a ton of hops flavor. And its fresh tasting. Unlike many other breweries, it seems like Victory put a lot of effort into finding just the right kind of hops for this beer. Even...

Probably the worst car ever made.

Tue, 2 Jul 2002 20:35:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - We bought our Neon about 5 years ago. We did our research. Consumer reports rated this car a "best buy." They were wrong in this case.

We had problems from the beginning. First(within the first 2,000 miles) there was a horrible squeak from...

Buy a Sonata LX before they find out the price is too low.

Tue, 2 Jul 2002 19:14:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - Since there is little bad to say about this car, lets get it out of the way... The cup-holders are situated awkwardly between the armrest and the shifter. The cruise "on-off" button is inconveniently located on the lower dash control panel. There is no...

For people who love to grill, AND those who don't

Tue, 2 Jul 2002 17:42:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - There is not much bad to write about this grill, but let's get them out of the way. First, the side-burner. The temp is hard to control. Its too hot on low for beans, or other low temp foods, and not hot enough to boil water. Second, the price. Trust...

Mission Impossible in 2054

Sun, 30 Jun 2002 17:57:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - This movie captivates you with its speculation of what life and technology will be like in 50 years. It seems like Spielberg did his research for the most part, but some of the technological advances portrayed are not believeable to the point of...

Its all good

Wed, 19 Jun 2002 20:36:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - Apple has done it again. It has taken control of the software AND the hardware, and created an incredible product. Setup was a snap, after I struggled to get AT&T Broadband to do their job.

The Airport software runs you through a quick...

Very good all around DVD player

Wed, 19 Jun 2002 20:15:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - I searched far and wide for a DVD player that was capable of shuffling a list of MP3's. There isn't one. So I can't hold that against this player. It does play mp3's... but only in the order they were burned.

The DVD playback is excellent...

Apple Mac OS 9: If you don't burn CDs Don't bother

Wed, 29 May 2002 17:23:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jrrglobe - 9.x is inferior in almost every way to 8.6. Hot-swapping network cables crashes the system every time; It takes twice as long to boot, the desktop shows up but you can't do anything for a few minutes (longer on a G3); It takes at least a full minute for...
