Fri, 10 Mar 2000 11:38:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkruse - Why is there controversy in airing this commercial? AIR IT!

Whether you like the iMac or not, you have to admit that this commercial catches your attention and shows how truly opinionated people can be about the products...

Google: Hands-Down, The Best Search Engine For The Web

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 04:40:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkruse - I've been on the web since around 1993 - extremely early by most standards. I remember the days when there was no yahoo.com. Instead, it was just a small site updated often by a couple of guys as Stanford. I remember checking the "What's New?"...

GE 2-9917 900MHz Cordless Phone: A Great Cordless, Hands-Free Phone - makes life easier!

Fri, 3 Mar 2000 04:05:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mkruse - Like most people, when I'm on the phone talking with someone that's not all I'm doing. I often put in laundry, get something to eat, feed my animals, etc. Doing all this while holding a phone or putting it on your shoulder is uncomfortable and...

I Love It!

Wed, 1 Mar 2000 11:04:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mkruse - Looks like this self-cleaning litterbox has had some mixed reviews, here, but I must say that I love it!!

I have two cats, and we all know that the litter duties are the most annoying parts of owning felines (aside from putting up with their...

Good idea, horrible execution

Tue, 29 Feb 2000 20:03:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mkruse - I bought this game because I thought it would be fun to play with my friends and their spouses/significant others. It's a good concept - women get "sterotypically male" questions, and men get "stereotypically female" questions.

The first true Pocket Camera I've ever owned

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 14:41:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkruse - The Elph2 by Canon is tiny! When the ads say you can put it in your pocket, they are no exaggerating. This is the first truly handy, portable camera I've ever owned. I love it.

I had been wanting to buy the original ELPH camera since it came...

Listener Supported - Not By Me!

Wed, 8 Dec 1999 03:59:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mkruse - The Dave Matthew's Band's latest offering is a live CD titled "Listener Supported." Well, I don't support it.

I'm not a huge fan of the DMB, but I have several of their CD's and I've at least listened to all the others. With this...

SECOND: A summary of points about this camera (scroll down to skip the intro, if you know all about digital camcorders)

With all the different camcorders available...

Revolutionary - This is the Future

Sun, 17 Oct 1999 18:58:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkruse - Let's not beat around the bush, here... TiVo is a truly revolutionary product. It's not just a flashier VCR, and it's not just a handy TV-Guide-in-a-box. This thing will change how, when, and what you watch.

I'm not a big TV viewer. I have...

HP 812C: Good value

Mon, 4 Oct 1999 00:13:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mkruse - I'd been putting off buying a printer for a couple of years, because I thought I wanted a high-quality laserjet that could print at fast speeds. Recently, however, I needed to print up some documents and just couldn't wait any longer. I did a very short...

Sony KV-36FV1: Amazing TV - If you get lucky

Fri, 10 Sep 1999 17:53:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mkruse - Let's cut to the bottom line, here - this 36" TV is amazing. The colors are vibrant and realistic, it has a ton of inputs, and it truly is a flat screen. But... it has problems.

You will get a beautiful picture IF YOU ARE LUCKY. These...

Lots of Features, but a Few Complaints

Fri, 10 Sep 1999 17:39:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mkruse - I first bought into DVD about a year ago, purchasing a Panasonic A-110 player. At the time, I didn't know that the A-110 has a common defect that causes about 10% of discs to freeze or pixelate when played. After being annoyed by this long enough, I...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: A simply stunning display

Thu, 9 Sep 1999 16:01:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkruse - The first monitor I bought was a Nokia 17" for close to $1000. I justified the price by the fact that the image was absolutely perfect, it could support amazing refresh rates at high resolutions, and that I could always keep my monitor as I upgrade...
