Mon, 22 May 2006 13:56:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ooglek - I hate cords. I can't wait for Wireless USB, but that's another review. So when my rollerball mouse decided to gum up for the 90th time, I decided it was time to go optical and wireless in one fell swoop. I had tried a few wireless mice, and just...

Best Thermometer/Timer I Ever Found

Wed, 17 May 2006 12:35:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ooglek - William-Sonoma used to sell this exact same thermometer/timer, but discontinued it at some point. Mine lasted about 3 years of heavy use before the LCD started to freak out a little. While it was acting up, my wife picked up one of the Alton Brown...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ooglek - I purchased this unit at MicroCenter -- it was only about fifteen bucks after rebate, not bad for a wireless mouse. Out of the box, the unit worked with my XP box with no issue. I was able to play around with it a bit, and it worked quite well. I...

Sony SRS-P7 Passive Portable Speaker System: Eh. Good for small, QUIET rooms; speakerphone quality.

Sat, 22 Mar 2003 20:33:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ooglek - I wanted to play some music for a few friends of mine. Knowing that headphones just wouldn't do it, I wanted to find a cheap, passive (unpowered) speaker that would plug easily into my MP3 player and at least allow 3 or more people the ability to hear...

I've had my Sony MDR-E827 Earbud Sport headphones for a good long time, and have been fairly happy with them. My complaints are that they don't always fit quite right, start to hurt after wearing for more than an hour or so,...

JBL Creature II Computer Speakers: Great Googly Moogly! Good sound, good price

Wed, 18 Sep 2002 00:23:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ooglek - Speakers are at the soul of our society today. Well, I have no evidence of that really, but think about it: P2P music sharing, RIAA sales are up, and people are spending more and more on audio/video these days (so I believe).

The Rio: It's Good

Sat, 17 Aug 2002 23:01:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ooglek - I'm in the market for an executive stereo system: nice looking (not spiffed out with 13,000 speakers, 24 dials and 3 tons of plastic all futuristically shaped), nice sounding, and a decent price.
