rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maxpower79 - The basis for this review is Francis Fukuyama’s recent book Our Posthuman Future (2002). I highly recommend the book as a fairly unbiased look at everything from the future of neuro-pharmacology to how (and if) consciousness defines us as humans...

Sat, 10 Mar 2001 17:20:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maxpower79 - Sony has been in my mind the best TV maker for the last 20 years. I have been the proud owner of a Sony Trinitron TV circa 1978, which still works. For comparison reasons, this was before remote controls where you still had to push buttons on the TV...

You'll Want a Silver Bullet to the Head

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 03:55:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author maxpower79 - Maybe its because in Canada the decimal comes after the 7 rather than before. Or maybe it's because if your going to drink beer, why go with this bad tasting "Light Beer", just so you don't fill up? Who drinks beer and is worried about filling...

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 18:34:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author maxpower79 - This is a hockey helmet? Looks more like an astronauts helmet to me and many other hockey enthusiasts.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author maxpower79 - I guess no one expected writer/director M. Night Shyamalan to duplicate the sleeper hit of last year in the Sixth Sense.

Nike? What do they know about skates?

Mon, 20 Nov 2000 02:44:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author maxpower79 - Nike is obviously out of their league when they entered the hockey world with skates, and gloves and sticks sported by big NHL players under lucrative contract deals.
