Bratislava - city of brotherly love

Mon, 28 May 2001 12:57:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - If first impressions are all important then Bratislava starts off on the wrong foot. Dreary communist architectural relics, with a backdrop consisting of smog from a nearby industrial region, create an uninviting skyline. Not surprisingly, only more...

Philips PC Internal CD-RW Kit: You'll hate burning CDs

Thu, 1 Jun 2000 23:33:41 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - This was the first CD recorder I ever bought. Never again will I buy a piece of harware just because it is on sale and I can get a good deal! Never again will I buy anything to do with computers without first doing some research on it!

I'll put...

HyCD Play&Record: Tech Support? What's that?

Thu, 1 Jun 2000 23:11:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - I'd love to have review of this software but unfortunately I can't get it to work. The people at HyCD have decided that they aren't going to provide their customers with any way to contact them. No email, fax or toll free number. You can call a 900...

Prettiest of All!

Sun, 28 May 2000 18:32:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - Don't get me wrong. I emphatically agree that this laptop is the most beautiful out there. It really just begs for you to pick it up. When sitting beside the bulky, ugly and boxy ThinkPads you'd think it's like comparing Helen and Medusa. Even the...

Sony VAIO N505VE: Prettiest of them all!

Sun, 28 May 2000 17:40:55 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - Looks can be deceiving. In the case of this dynamite looker this old venerable maxim could not be truer. I fell into the amateur trap of judging a computer by its aesthetics rather than its functionality. And although I get looks and compliments...

Slice of Americana

Sun, 21 May 2000 17:45:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll. Maybe a tired old cliche today but when Hopper set out to make this cinematic masterpiece he definitely captured it on a piece of plastic anyone can rent. This movie defines the 60s lifestyle; rife with cultural turmoil...

Tinseltown's Anti-Christ

Sun, 21 May 2000 16:16:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - Acknowledged as a Godard classic, "Le Week-end" is collectively understood to be an abstract political commentary exhibiting Brechtian models of "de-familiarization". A couple of Parisians heading out into the countryside for the...

Hitchcock as Auteur

Sun, 21 May 2000 16:02:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - Like with many other celebrated directors, it can be argued that Hitchcock had a certain inimitable style that was carried throughout the bulk of his cinematic enterprise. Vertigo, in this regard, situates Hitchcock at his element, and as far as bold...

A Plebian Reviews Star Wars

Sun, 21 May 2000 15:55:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - I was sitting in a sticky movie theatre seat, 9:40 in the morning, when John William’s unforgettable Star Wars theme juxtaposed with Lucas’s unmistakable space-bound text triggered a Freudian regression propelling me back to my pre-teen years. This is an...

Easy Frisbee Creator

Sun, 21 May 2000 13:16:49 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - When I plunk down $100 plus dollars (with tax) for a software program I expect something above average. Unfortunately when I purchased this program I got anything but.

I've had a CD burner for over 2 years and it was functioning fine. The...

The Standard for Beginners

Fri, 19 May 2000 16:37:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - You won't find the latest and greatest technology on this bike considering that it's based on a design almost a decade old. Performance wise it is second rate - especially considering that both an R6 or ZX6R will smoke this machine badly despite having...

Athlon has come of Age

Sat, 13 May 2000 14:19:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - Finally! An Athlon motherboard that doesn't use the old and tired "Irongate" chip set.

Basically, users who wanted to try out the Intel killing Athlon processor out had only once choice when it came to the auxiliary but so important...

Brando's Tour de Force

Fri, 12 May 2000 13:29:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - Seemingly in blatant contradiction to the obvious, Marlon Brando did not receive the Best Actor Oscar for his performance as Stanley Kowalski, the brutish, salacious yet surprisingly astute working class husband. There is no better example of an actor...

A Melodramatic Oversimplification

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 19:52:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - The main gist of this TV movie seems to be that everything in the computer world today was stolen from Xerox's Palo Alto research center. Jobs came and stole the mouse and GUI and then Microsoft in turn stole these ideas from Apple. The important but...

Being a Consumer Pioneer

Sat, 11 Sep 1999 19:59:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - When I first bought this little device, everyone kept asking me what it was. Once a luddite exclaimed with shock, "Are you using a portable radio?" Of course nowadays these things are much more common and most people have at least heard of...

4x4 for the City

Sat, 11 Sep 1999 19:33:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author juraj - Overall a good car, especially for the money. We got the 5-Speed Manual transmission for more control and power but it still seems to be underpowered (even though the horsepower was upgraded since last year). Tackling sharp inclines and off-road...
