Solomon IV Series: Solomon's a Steaming Pile of Crap

Wed, 5 Aug 2009 05:56:22 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author puter - Solomon IV Service Series was awful. No, that doesn't do it justice. Solomon was impressively #@!$*&%-ed up. I had almost forgotten the horror, but thanks to a thread on StackOverflow.com (a programming forum) about horrible UIs, my...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author puter - Unlike with previous corded+wireless duos from Microsoft, the IntelliMouse Explorer 4.0 and Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 are virtually identical--except for the cord. A Match Made in Heaven Until about a year ago, you could have more...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author puter - If you're not into violent computer games, this opinion is not for you. UPDATE 2005-07-24: I've been meaning to update this for a while, but just got around to it. Updated SC-20K info--see the "weapons" section. UPDATE 2005-05-31: CDs are better...

Best laptop ever--too bad it's a Dell!

Mon, 28 Jun 2004 05:11:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author puter - Quite possibly, this will be the most in-depth laptop review you will ever read. Updated Aug 1, 2005--corrected info on the port replicator's DVI/VGA outputs. Also, I was recently browsing Dell's website and was disappointed to learn that none of...

Sometimes it pays to look at the lesser-known products

Fri, 10 Oct 2003 04:56:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author puter - The 3M OAC100 is not really marketed as a home air cleaner, although I'm not sure why. Instead, it's marketed as an office air cleaner (hence OAC in the model name). Maybe it's because so many consumers want an air cleaner from a company that doesn't ma...

MDK2 might as well be called Super Mario 10

Sun, 2 Jun 2002 08:25:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author puter - Several months ago, I went to Software, Etc., in the local mall and picked up a couple of super-cheap games. The first was Giants: Citizen Kabuto, and the second was MDK2. Neither game ran that great on my Riva TNT video card, but that was the whole...

Xbox is a nuclear missile

Tue, 8 May 2001 01:16:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author puter - This opinion attempts to clarify some of the issues surrounding the Xbox, such as its PC roots.

If all of the electronic components used in the Xbox were identical to all of those used in a nuclear missile, would we call the Xbox a nuclear...

Digital Convergence :CueCat: I just wanted a barcode scanner

Sun, 11 Mar 2001 08:21:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author puter - I won't lie. I didn't pick up a CueCat from Radio Shack because I thought it would revolutionize the way I surf the Net or read ads. I picked it up because I just wanted a barcode scanner.

The CueCat is basically another advertising gimmick...

Excellent movie, DVD is exceptionally well done

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 06:12:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author puter - This opinion is a critique of the DVD version of Gladiator, and does not contain an in-depth critique of the movie itself.

Gladiator was the best action movie of 2000

I probably went to see more movies this year...

Great movie; DVD has good features, but DVD case stinks

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 05:25:48 GMT

Address.com has been dead for quite some time now. They died somewhere near the end of 2000, right before BlueLight (K-Mart) bought up Spinway. Basically, this entire article still holds true for BlueLight, but now the...

Mouse on virtually any surface

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 00:39:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author puter - After using the IntelliMouse Explorer on a friend's computer, I just had to buy one for myself. It has no trouble tracking on a tabletop, mousepad, the wall, your jeans, or even your own arm. My previous mouse was the IntelliMouse, and on another...

Superb quality and magnificent performance

Sun, 25 Jun 2000 23:47:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author puter - Unfortunately, I do not actually own a Gladiac myself. However, I did have one for about a week when a friend of mine had me perform a major hardware upgrade on his system, and one word pretty much sums up my reaction to the performance of this card:...

Ever since I hooked my computer up to my TV to watch DVDs, I thought I would be able to get through life without ever actually buying a VCR. (My old VCR was given to me, and started eating tapes several months ago.)...

I've had a DVD player in my computer for a couple of years and have loved it. I still haven't been able to convince myself to purchase a standalone player for myself since I have my computer connected to my TV; but I...
