Good price/size, LCD screen died after 5 months!

Mon, 21 Jan 2008 18:35:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - We bought this for our 2 kids in the back of our Civic 4-door hybrid. We have a Honda Odyssey, but wanted to start using the Civic hybrid for most trips to save on gas. It worked great for about 5 months, but the LCD just started showing vertical...

Near perfect general-use USB mouse

Tue, 4 Dec 2007 23:55:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - What do I use a mouse for? *I used to FPS game quite a bit (in the Quake era) *I mainly looked for a desktop mouse for work *I use Windows exclusively, and various multimedia and web-based apps *In my past experience, a wireless mouse...

Sit back and enjoy the music and magic

Mon, 3 Dec 2007 14:49:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - Of course there is music in this movie, and not magic in the traditional sense of sorcery and spells. But the magic comes with how you feel after this movie. Granted, if you don't take it too seriously (it's a movie after all), and if you let the...

Overall ok, CANNOT use rechargeable AA batteries!

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 14:00:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - This was a cheap headset we bought for $15. We've used it on and off for about 1 year now. The best part is the AA battery. It allows you to pop-in a new AA battery from anywhere (no charger is provided). I used to use rechargeable AA batteries, but...

Smartypants smartphone: QWERTY keys, Office apps, 2MP camera/video, great Web browser

Mon, 9 Apr 2007 23:01:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - This phone has so many features, possibilities, and customizability, it's almost endless. This is mostly thanks to the Symbian OS 9.1 3rd edition that it uses. My review covers just the tip of the iceberg, but hopefully it gives you an idea to see that...

Good mouse, but still disappointing for a laser mouse

Wed, 25 Oct 2006 15:24:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - This is a good/solid mouse, for right-handed people. Initial responsiveness was good, and it glided like silk on a mousepad. However, after some use, I noticed the laser-tracking jumped around quite a bit on some mousepads and surfaces (even MORE...

Good Idea, BAD implementation

Wed, 29 Jun 2005 12:33:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - This mouse has excellent design and features. But the Achilles' heel is that it ONLY works with the supplied Bluetooth adapter! What kind of craziness is that!!? I specifically bought it because I wanted it to work with the built-in bluetooth adapter...

Classic games you loved, come to the Xbox

Sun, 23 Mar 2003 13:00:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - Main idea:

Basically, Namco created these games back when we were all younger (I'm 27), and remember playing these classics in the arcades. Some I LOVED, others I never really liked, but pretty much everyone has a favorite from one of the included...

Neutron Online Store: They LOST EVERY order in their system, and did NOT have any backups!

Tue, 14 Aug 2001 18:09:14 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - DO NOT order from this company! I had an order, their systems crashed, they had NO BACKUP, and lost EVERY order they had in their system at that time!

I had a simple order of a mouse and PC speakers on order. I was building a PC for my aunt...

Great cast, ok script, has some lulls in the story

Tue, 14 Aug 2001 17:25:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - I had read some "early" scripts and audience-screener reviews before this movie was released. Most of the reviews were fairly positive to OVERLY positive. So I had some fairly high expectations of this movieI'd say my review is fairly positive. It's...

Mulching beast, but with only 1 speed

Thu, 2 Aug 2001 17:01:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - If you're looking for a moderately priced mower, with good build-quality, and excellent mulching ability, this is one to get. It's not "cheapy" like some Sears models, but not quite as expensive as some high-end John Deere or Honda models, but it's a...

Dish Network DishPlayer 500 Channel Satellite System: NO MORE TAPES! DVR aspect is a GODSEND

Thu, 5 Jul 2001 18:30:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - I must say, THE best feature of this unit is hands-down the hard-drive recording DVR (Digital Video Recorder)

PAUSE live TV: can pause for up to 30 minutes (buffer), and then resume with delayed-feed, or fast forward to LIVE feed

T-Mobile Phone Service in Dallas/Fort Worth: The best plan/service in DFW (and other places) if you stay in cities/highways

Fri, 15 Jun 2001 18:49:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - I used to have Sprint PCS digital service here in DFW (Dallas/Ft. Worth). We switched to Voicestream because they had the better plans/minutes/deals. Sprint's overall coverage was better, but Voicestream's QUALITY in its covered areas was BY FAR better...

Now called Verizon DSL, good but only after trying installation

Fri, 15 Jun 2001 18:20:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - I originally got our DSL service installed in our apartment in Dallas, TX. I chose the self-installation. I just plugged in the DSL modem to the phone jack, ethernet cable to my computer, and that was it!

Luckily my PC was already setup to...

Your very own Instant Photo Lab, for a great price!

Fri, 15 Jun 2001 17:12:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - I bought the Epson Stylus Photo 870 about a year ago. At the time it was hands-down the best bang for the buck photo printer available. Sure, you could spend maybe $800-$1000 for a dye-sub and get slightly better prints (if that's possible), but...

$100 gets quality, durability, plenty of storage options

Thu, 14 Jun 2001 19:43:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - I picked this gem up at the local Bag n' Baggage mall store about 3 years ago, and I still use it daily an functions like it is new!

Notes:

1. Storage options: Has pockets/storage for just about everything. It has sections for your...

Logitech Wheel Mouse: Finally, a mouse you can rub all over your body and still click accurately

Thu, 14 Jun 2001 19:08:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - I've been computing for about 9 years (only 25 years old), and this is just about the best mouse I've ever used (mine or someone else's).

Pluses

1. Optical, no moving parts, no cleaning, works on just about any...

WOO HOO! Finally a great-quality FAST Scanner for a GREAT price!

Thu, 14 Jun 2001 18:44:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - I do a LOT of research before I buy something, especially something really expensive or computer-related. I've had this scanner for almost 1 year now, still functions like new.

The main reasons I purchased this scanner, was USB compatibility...

Sony CPD G500 (White) 21 in. CRT Conventional Monitor: Gorgeous 21", quality, great color, flat screen

Tue, 12 Jun 2001 18:58:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - I use this monitor at work. So disregarding price, it's amazing!

The clarity, size, contrast are all top-notch, plus high refresh-rate even at 1600x1200.

The only other monitor that I've seen that impressed me more was the high-end...

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5: Hands down, the best browser for Windows PC's.

Tue, 12 Jun 2001 17:38:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - If you run any version of Windows 9x, Windows Me, Windows NT, or Windows 2000, you should be using this Internet browser.

Let's start of with, it has the lion's share of the market (doesn't necessarily make it better), is supported by almost...

not bad for a credit card, low APR, decent earned points, good customer service

Tue, 12 Jun 2001 17:23:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - I have a Yahoo! Visa from First USA. I have a revolving account with balance (which I'm trying to pay off).

To concentrate solely on the First USA product (not my account specifically), they have decent customer service (always helpful, and...

THE processor to get for those on budget, or cheap PC

Tue, 12 Jun 2001 17:10:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - Considering you can get a Duron 700Mhz chip for about $24 as of June 2001, this CPU is a STEAL! It is the same core as the Athlon Thunderbird chip series, only it has less internal cache... which for most people won't make a difference.

Dell Latitude CPx: Good corporate/power-user laptop

Tue, 12 Jun 2001 14:45:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - Gorgeous screen, varied options for interchange-able bays (include batteries, hard-drives, floppy, CD, DVD, CDRW, zip, Superdisk, more...).

2 Megapixel, good price/quality, remote control!

Tue, 12 Jun 2001 14:45:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kairyl - This is our first Digicam, and know 4 family/friends who bought from this Olympus line of cameras, all are excellent (actually the new 2040Z can be found for cheaper price than 2020Z).

Image quality is stunning, can print up to 8x10" photos,...
