Applecare Protection Plan (m8852z/a): Should be called "Apple DOESN'T Care"

Tue, 28 Aug 2007 19:34:53 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - I bought my first Mac, an iBook G4 a little over two years ago, and a friend who was familiar with Apple Products strongly suggested Applecare. For nearly $300 you can extend the warranty and get tech support for three years. It seemed like a good...

General Electric 36 in. JGP628 Gas Cooktop: Now you're cooking with gas!

Sat, 12 May 2007 21:55:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - We'd just bought a home with an old electric cooktop, and, as someone who is a pretty good cook, I wanted to switch to gas. We'd done the same thing in our previous home with a KitchenAid, but those seem to have gotten extremely expensive. After some...

Apple iBook G4 (M9846BA) Mac Notebook: Update... even Apple can't fix this one

Thu, 10 Aug 2006 01:08:09 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - UPDATE: Two years after buying this laptop, I am now the proud owner of a lemon. After numerous calls to Applecare tech support, I was directed to send in my computer; but it came back in even worse shape. Avoid this model. After years of...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - UPDATE: Nearly THREE YEARS after submitting my rebate form, I got my check. Thankfully the FTC finally put a stop to this company's practices. http://www.ftc.gov/opa//2007/0

A wonderful little toy for your big toy

Sun, 4 Jun 2006 16:49:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - Since we live in a rural area and I spend a good deal of time traveling in my car, the broadcast choices are very limited. So we decided to purchase a Delphi XM Roady XT satellite radio, which can be used both in the car and the home. After using it for...

Great sound, well-built product...but you'll need a southern exposure.

Sat, 3 Jun 2006 13:15:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - A few days after buying an XM Roady XT satellite radio for my car, I realized that I enjoyed it so much I wanted it in my home as well. I had two options; the home kit, which would enable any home stereo to broadcast from the satellite radio, or the...

Good DVD player but not for the hard of hearing

Tue, 12 Jul 2005 19:27:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - I bought this for my wife for Christmas after being stuck on an airport runway for an hour. The product is very easy to use, with simple controls. Excellent picture quality, though the sound is a bit "tinny." It also has two nice features...two headset...

Nokia 6010: Great low-tech phone....free...and $150 profit!

Sun, 22 May 2005 09:43:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - If you’re a low-tech person who wants a cell phone to simply make calls (I know, what a wild concept) then this is the phone for you. It doesn’t take pictures, sound like Chewbacca from Star Wars or flip open like Captain Kirk’s communicator. It’s just...

Wife loves it, I still miss my Spring Air

Fri, 13 May 2005 00:34:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - After 15 years, our trusty Spring Air back supporter was on its last legs. My wife, who has lower back pain, really wanted to try the Tempur Pedic, as we had done some research on the product, and it had a good return policy. Two thousand dollars is a...

KitchenAid KUDS01FLSS Built-in Dishwasher: The best dishwasher EVER!

Thu, 12 May 2005 16:28:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - I thought my wife was crazy for wanting to spend a thousand bucks for a dishwasher, but now I couldn't live without it. We were replacing an old Kenmore which sounded like it had emphysema. The thing was so loud we couldn't run it and watch TV at the...

KitchenAid KGST300 Gas Kitchen Range: An asset to any kitchen

Thu, 12 May 2005 16:20:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - I'd read about the Kitchen Aid line, but never knew how good it really was until we installed this range along with a dishwasher. We were switching from electric to gas... a must for anyone who likes to cook. And the Kitchen Aid makes cooking a lot...

Their guac rocks!

Thu, 12 May 2005 14:51:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - Wow, what a terrific oasis in the middle of Manhattan. You don't really think of New York having great Mexican food, but this place is really authentic and top notch. The place was packed the night we were there. We were a news crew covering a story, and...

Espn The Magazine: "Short attention span theatre" in a magazine

Thu, 12 May 2005 13:10:00 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - Well, I guess if you're older than 17 you might as well pass on this publication. Heavy on graphics with text that is often superimposed and very hard to read... but its not worth reading at all. This is truly a magazine for those who prefer style over...

Casa Ole: Unique Mexican dishes at great prices...Ole!

Thu, 12 May 2005 10:49:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - With tons of Mexican restaurants from which to choose in Texas, I must say Casa Ole ranked among our favorite. You can truly stuff yourself silly for six dollars at this place, and still not be able to clean your plate or have room for their fried ice...

Good workout on a solid piece of equipment

Thu, 12 May 2005 10:36:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author newsreporter - After taking up an entire room with a weight training station, we decided to unload the behemoth in a garage sale and get something simpler with lower impact. The Total Gym is just what the doctor ordered. It is light but sturdy, though I'm not a big guy...
