A Truly Sporty Lexus

Tue, 21 Feb 2006 00:43:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - Let me start out by noting that often times, the experience and views on any vehicle is somewhat subjective and each person has his or her own taste. Having said that, I have certainly test driven many vehicles that compete with this IS series of Lexus...

The Best Non-DSLR in Existence Today. Absolutely Beautiful Pictures.

Mon, 30 Jan 2006 21:02:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - The goal of this review is to provide a subjective view and user experience of what it is like to operate and use Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 in the real world. After all, a piece of equipment is only as good as how much you use it, which depends heavily on...

Excite Search: Pleasant Design, Poor Search

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 23:26:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - Excite is one of the more popular search engines on the Internet. Like many of its peers (other than Google), Excite has changed itself from just a pure search engine to more of an Internet portal.

Quite frankly, I do not find Excite too...

Northern Light: Exact, categorized, full-text search

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 23:23:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - With any reviews on web search engines, I always like to emphasize that search engines have their respective strengths and weaknesses, and they should be used according to the situation. One-size-fits-all simply is not an efficient way to use search...

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 23:19:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - There are many web portals offering basic financial information, as well as sites dedicated to financial information. While I do use a few websites for financial information, Yahoo Finance is my primary source of information.

Similar to its...

Google: Efficient, Easy, and Good Results

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 23:15:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - Let me start by saying that different search engines have their respective strengths and weakness, and I wouldn't say that any single search engine is sufficient if you are a very heavy Internet user. I continue to use several search engines, depending...

Do NOT invest with Citibank.

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 19:29:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - Citibank has a pretty good brand name. If you live in a major city with significant financial activities, such as New York or Chicago, Citibank probably has many branches. I have been using Citibank for two years now and in the end, I have very little...

Register.com: Expensive and Poor Service

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 00:01:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - I personally own several domain names. In addition to Register.com, I have had experience with Network Solutions, Dotster (recommended) and a couple of small registrars. Several of the domain names I have were initially registered with Register.com,...

Dotster: Great Value, User-Friendly

Mon, 9 Apr 2001 19:17:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - I personally own several domain names. In addition to Dotster, I have had experience with Network Solutions, Register.com, and a couple of small registrars. I must say that Dotster.com is by far and away the best of them. I have now transferred all my...

AOL Instant Messenger: Good, but can still be improved.

Wed, 4 Apr 2001 19:03:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - Ah, the world of instant messaging. It seems like everyone I know is now part of it. There are only major instant messengers left, and I have chosen to stick with AOL Instant Messenger, not because it is a great product or service, but because it...

An Online Bank I Am Staying With

Tue, 3 Apr 2001 13:03:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - I have been doing online banking with several banks for almost two years now (At the time of the writing, it is 04/02/2001.). First Internet bank of Indiana (FirstIB from here on) has been one of the banks I have decided to stay with. Overall, I have...

Four Round-Trips = One Free Ticket

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 16:54:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - I have flown on well over 80 (or 160 if you count one round trip as two flights) flights in the last couple of years, and more than half of those flights have been with Southwest Airlines. Since I fly so frequently, I naturally looked into the frequent...

Best Bet for Flying

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho -

I have flown on well over 80 (or 160 if you count one round trip as two flights) flights in the last couple of years, and more than half of those flights have been with Southwest Airlines. Relatively speaking, I feel the chance of having a...

D-Link DSB-H4 USB Hub: It Simply Works.

Tue, 27 Mar 2001 17:13:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho -

If you enjoy attaching a bunch of gadgets to a PC, USB is great. Most computers come with two USB ports, and that is not usually enough. I have about 4 USB devices (scanner, camera, compact flash reader, zip drive), and as cool as it was to plug...

Excellent for the Price

Fri, 23 Mar 2001 20:46:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - I have had the Kodak DC-215 Millennium Edition for over a year now. The difference between the regular edition and this one is that mine came with 8 MB of memory instead of 4 MB and it also comes with a USB Card reader. Other than that, they are...

Excellent in Every Aspect

Tue, 20 Mar 2001 21:57:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - Yamaha makes a variety of products, including some well regarded music instruments. As such, you would expect Yamaha PC speakers to be much better than average. This set of speakers does not disappoint.

I was in search of a set of...

Avoid Northwest Unless Necessary

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - I have flown on well over 80 flights in the last couple of years, and some of my flights were with Northwest. From my own experience and other people’s experience, I would not recommend Northwest Airlines even if I wanted to.

An Almost Perfect Keyboard

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 12:21:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - I bought this cordless board about six months ago, not long after my Logitech Cordless MouseMan Wheel (which I also wrote a review on). One of the reasons was that I was very happy with the Cordless MouseMan Wheel, which prompted me to consider buying a...

Great Design, Comfortable, and Cordless!

Sat, 6 Jan 2001 19:11:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - I have been using this mouse for almost one year now. I have been extremely pleased with it.

I came across this Logitech Cordless MouseMan Wheel when I was trying to cut down on the clutters on my desk. As always, I went through a lot of...

Well Designed, Good Value

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 19:52:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - I have been using this phone for over a year now, and have bought 4 of them on various occasions as gifts to people since.

Like many things I buy, I went through several phones before I am satisfied, and this is the one that has served me...

Crisp, Clear, and Flat,

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 18:38:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - This is by far and away the best monitor I have used.

I started thinking about getting a new monitor after I got a 17” Trinitron FD at the office, which is similar to G400, but smaller. I decided to look for a 19" for my own home use...

Fast Scan, Easy to Use

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 17:03:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - I had been looking for a scanner to buy for several months before I decided to purchase this one.

There were a few things I was looking for:

1) Speed – once you start to use a scanner, you realize that speed is very important.

2)...

Best Value of All Cards

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 13:17:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - First of all, I need to start by saying my evaluation of a credit card is based on the assumption that the balance is paid off in full every month.

This card is not suitable for people who do not wish to pay their balance off in full...

Better Than Any Other Microsoft OS

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 20:36:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - I have been using Windows 2000 since Feb 2000. I have to say that I have been pretty pleased with it.

A main reason that I switched to Windows 2000 for home was because I was tired of rebooting Windows 98 every two hours, and back then,...

Good Sound, Yet Poor Design

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 17:55:06 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author shanewho - I wanted to get a new set of speakers because my cheap, old ones were dying. I figured that I would find something inexpensive and yet good.

Most of the reviews on this set of speakers have been very positive, which led to my purchase...
