I'm glad I waited, as the S90 has surpassed all my expectations.My previous camera was a Canon G9 -- no slouch when it came to performance. I bought... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~490741010052 Thu, 5 Nov 2009 21:40:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_490741010052?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_489003650692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - Let me preface this by saying the 2005 S4 is my first German car; I had previously owned a string of Hondas and a Mazda, so this was a big change for me. I was used to small, ultra-reliable Japanese imports. So far the S4 has not disappointed me. Am I a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~489003650692 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:52:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_489003650692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_476145553028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - Your typical desktop computer speakers are not "monitors". That is, they aren't built to reproduce the sound exactly as it was recorded. Instead, they're actually built to make the sound more pleasant -- which is inaccurate and sometimes just sounds... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~476145553028 Fri, 3 Jul 2009 17:04:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_476145553028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_468678774404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - The Logitech G5 & G7 are the ubiquitous gaming mice these days. Enthusiasts continue to fork over $60+ for these mice. And after owning a G5 and MX518, I can safely say that you can save $20 by just getting the MX518.The MX518 uses the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~468678774404 Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:48:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_468678774404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_466913627780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - I'll admit I was one of the suckers who stood in line for an iPhone 3G on release day. Partially out of impulse, but also to keep the phone protected, I grabbed this Belkin case for $20 at the Apple Store. Within a week, I realized I had wasted $20...and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~466913627780 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 16:25:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_466913627780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_466913365636?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - I can't imagine ordering from anyone else. Their website is simple to navigate and is a no-BS place to get reviews/ask questions/learn.

A nasty side-effect was that it dried you out something fierce. My skin took a turn for the worst, including my lips. They were painfully dry and cracking/bleeding.

I've yet to find a product that can match, let alone beat their performance and price. When I bought a convertible recently, I was nervous about how to care for the vinyl top -- it was my first convertible. I went with my gut and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~466909171332 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:35:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_466909171332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_466908843652?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - 303 makes great products.

There's been a recent surge of these synthetic waxes from the large car detailing companies -- the stuff has been around for a while, but it wasn't avaialable in most brick-and-mortar stores, and was made... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~466904190596 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:54:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_466904190596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_462445645444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - I hadn't heard of Jean Paul Gaultier until I read some reviews of this online by women (on a men's website). They all commented on how 'sexy' the cologne was and how it was their new favorite for men, beating out classics like Coolwater, Acqua di Gio,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~462445645444 Sun, 1 Mar 2009 02:39:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_462445645444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_462445448836?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - Acqua di Gio has been around forever, and with good cause -- it offers a crisp clean smell that is timeless. It's not a bandwagon or "trendy" cologne. It's a classic smell that anyone can like, and one that you won't grow tired of.I rotate... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~462445448836 Sun, 1 Mar 2009 02:26:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_462445448836?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_462445186692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - Anyone who is budget-conscious should consider Polk's outstanding CSi25 center channel speaker.

Rarely is it something serious, so use this scantool to save yourself some money.Cars have had on-board diagnostic... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~462442434180 Sun, 1 Mar 2009 02:04:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_462442434180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_462442237572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - Personal care aisles these days are a complete disaster. There are no less than 50 different shampoo brands and at least 3 versions of each. There's $1 shampoo and $30 shampoo. Most of us probably gravitate towards the lower end of that scale...because... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~462442237572 Sun, 1 Mar 2009 01:50:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_462442237572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_462441909892?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - Axe stuff (Unilever) is flooding the market. There have got to be about 10 different versions of the body wash, but I always gravitate back towards the Snake Peel.I enjoy the scent.

If you can, listen to these IN PERSON with the music YOU REGULARLY LISTEN TO. This will help you decide if these are really the cans for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~460660772484 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:45:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_460660772484?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_459675242116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - It's no secret that the world of car audio runs a very wide spectrum. There are very simple "upgraded" systems in cars (maybe just a new CD player), to the wild show-quality custom installs full of TVs and huge subwoofers. Aftermarket manufacturers of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~459675242116 Sun, 1 Feb 2009 18:52:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_459675242116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_456162905732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - I wanted to like Far Cry 2. I really did. But after several hours of frustrating and boring gameplay, I simply couldn't bring myself to enjoy it.The first Far Cry game was good. Hard to argue that point.

The 6930p is better in every way compared to the model it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~454393433732 Tue, 9 Dec 2008 15:55:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_454393433732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_452306767492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - Staying current with video cards...it's tough. Every 3 months there's something slightly faster that comes out. New generations of video cards seem to be released every 6 months or so, but that gap is narrowing.

It's small, loud, and rough. It doesn't hold a lot, gets mediocre gas mileage, and isn't the best daily driver. Quite frankly, this is more of a weekend or limited-use vehicle. You won't want it for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~447528603268 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:53:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_447528603268?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_444403256964?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author thegsrguy - I'll admit that I was skeptical about the ESQ brand, as it is made by Movado (who isn't exactly known for building sturdy and dependable watches).

For under $2000 you can find a nice set for your family room, meaning that the once-popular DLP displays are disappearing.
