Motorola Timeport P935: Pagers Buyer's Guide--Two-way paging saves beepers from an untimely death

Mon, 2 Jul 2001 20:50:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhino - Pagers were once the province of brain surgeons and when you heard the beep-tone you could be certain that, somewhere, something dire was happening, and that the guy carrying it was so important that he needed to be available 24/7...but as paging has...

RIM PRD-02550-002: The Best E-mail Device on the Planet

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 00:25:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhino - I’ve got more stuff strapped to my belt than a New York SWAT Team member. I might as well buy a Tri-corder and head to a Trek convention to officially embrace my geek side. If fashion prevailed and I could keep only one of my collection of cell phone,...

Napster: Gnutella Rules, Napster is toast

Thu, 20 Apr 2000 02:30:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhino - While Napster broke new ground, Gnutella is what is going to change the world. Gnutella (http:///gnutella.wego.com) is the new software that was accidentally leaked by Nullsoft, creators of WinAmp. But now WinAmp is owned by AOL/Time Warner, so it...

Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro

Thu, 2 Mar 2000 05:25:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhino - Okay, I've been skeptical of all these keyboards with all kinds of crazy shortcut buttons...and I work for a living, so the media controlling buttons do nothing for me...however I was sold on Microsoft's latest keyboard on key feel alone...and that...

KickButt Camera in a Tiny Chrome Box

Tue, 4 Jan 2000 05:28:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhino - I have been snapping pictures like Mr. Griswold since I got this camera on Christams day. This thing rules. The new 24mm format is effortless and far better than the old bulky and awkward 35mm.

I especially like the burnished chrome front...

Finest Ski in the Free World

Sun, 14 Nov 1999 20:30:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhino - I used to review skis for a living. Thank God I'm out of that racket so I can tell the truth. Ski magazines are forced by their advertisers to, how shall we say, muddy the waters of truth regarding skis. The ski manufacturers argue over and over,...

It's Not Browsing, But it is the Internet

Wed, 27 Oct 1999 05:34:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rhino - The Densis Sprint Touchpoint phone is an excellent cell phone. I was getting tired of the endless Nokia 6100 series parade, so I wanted to check out a new phone.

The Touchpoint is ergonomically pleasant, thin, yet big enough to feel like a...

Wed, 27 Oct 1999 05:11:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhino - My Black Mountain water cooler was delivered today, a Cook and Cold unit, that through a sad misnomer does no cooking. However its got the cold part wired.

I spun the five gallon container of "spring water" in the air, ramming the...

Winbook XL2 400/128: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Mon, 25 Oct 1999 01:36:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rhino - I bought a Winbook XL2 about two months ago when it was just released in the PII 400mhz/128 meg ram version. I bought it because it was the best over all combination of price and performance...and I didn't want to wait two weeks for a Dell.

I...

Compuserver 2000 Sucks

Mon, 25 Oct 1999 00:42:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rhino - Compuserve 2000 is the most annoying upgrade in the history of upgrades. I have stuck with compuserve since about '92. 76761,205 is my member number, and your are damned if you forget your number.

So when an upgrade to the balky system came...

Homeworld is the best new game

Sat, 23 Oct 1999 23:43:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rhino - The best games in the world were the original GATO, and StarCraft. The replacement for Starcraft was never quite as good. Now comes Homeworld with the best graphics engine I have ever seen. 3D graphics that allow you to rotate the universe on any axis...

Salt Lake: The Adrenaline Sport Capitol of the World

Sat, 23 Oct 1999 23:33:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhino - Salt Lake City is the multi-sport Mecca of the west

Dean drives a tired old van…bubble windows, faded copper paint, everything sad about the 70s in one bad ride. But strapped to his van is a cornucopia of sports gear. Bicycles, kayaks, skis,...

DaKina Dually Ski Bag: DaKine Dually is the best ski bag in the world

Sat, 23 Oct 1999 22:25:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhino - There are commandments in ski travel, ignore them at your peril. The first being: Boots are a carry-on item. Standing in Chamonix, with bottomless snow, in a pair of rental flower pots is hell on Earth. A new commandment that’s quickly climbing the...

Sick, Powder Rock's the House

Sat, 23 Oct 1999 21:58:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rhino - Okay, I'm a little biased, I was editor of this magazine, and then I left to chase the Internet dream. So pardon me for raving. The story on Dirtbag Deer Valley is a classic. Finally a magazine has the balls to tell the truth about clipping tickets for...
