Got a Netbook? You need this!

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:08:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - I probably never would have picked up the LG SLIM External DVD burner/player if BestBuy hadn't been offering a nice bundle discount for peripherals when I bought an eePC netbook for my wife. There are myriad uses for a portable CD/DVD player but I...

Will Save Your Life!

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:21:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - When you unbox the Maxtor (i.e. Seagate) OneTough 4 1000MB model it comes in a bag that is sealed with a sticker that says "Save Your Life". And that's exactly what these ominous-looking obelisks are able to do. With its roomy 1TB size, you...

Great USB turntable for the Money

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 17:31:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - The Sony PS-LX300USB Turntable is a great way to get your old vinyl records into your mp3 collection with a minimal hit to the wallet. The music sounds great and operation and set-up is fairly easy, especially if your computer has a USB port in a...

A Demonic-Looking LIFESAVER!

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 20:58:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - The rich black color and the stark red dial on this first rate skin for the classic (60/80 GB or "video") iPod is the gothiest of the goth-looking iSkins. Based on looks alone, it makes the iPod look cooler than it already is. But don't judge it by...

Texting FLIES on a T-Mobile Wing

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 20:35:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - The t-mobile Wing is a knockout Windows Mobile PDA. Its price point is still quite high (mine cost $300 to buy because I wanted to keep and carry over my original t-mobile plan; I've heard that you can get the Wing for beans if you are a new customer,...

Tue, 27 Feb 2007 18:38:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - As I type this, I'm amazed by the nearly magical way that everything I type on my cordless LX710 keyboard appears on my screen. I can move the keyboard to my lap and kick back if I want. I can scroll and select with the accompanying wireless mouse,...

Tue, 20 Apr 2004 00:01:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - After losing a Zip disk filled with 100 mb of precious documents (numbskull that I am, I neglected to double-archive my backup) and getting failures in my floppy disk drive, I was fed up. I needed something better to carry to and from work to transport...

Flat Screen as Art Frame: The Sony 17" HS73

Sun, 30 Nov 2003 22:27:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - Before I walked into the Staples store to buy my Sony SDM HS73 (17 in.) Flat Panel (TFT) Monitor, I did some research. I was buying a new VAIO machine (see my other review of the RS430G) and since that computer didn't come with a monitor, I was...

Forget Broadband -- Get BroadLAN'd! : The Belkin Cable/Router

Thu, 28 Nov 2002 17:15:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - I'm a huge proponent of broadband. If you've got cable TV, you've probably already got all you need except for a broadband modem and a one-time visit from the cable company. But once you get online with the speed and bandwidth of cable access, you'll...

Fri, 12 Jul 2002 10:34:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - Samsonite's "Deluxe Pet Carrier" should be the carrier of choice for cat owners who need to transport their animals "on-board" in air travel (rather than stowing them in the lower galleys of the plane as so much organic cargo). It is not only a "luxury"...

Your Music Has Met Its Match: MusicMatch Jukebox 7.2

Sat, 6 Jul 2002 19:06:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - If you think WinAmp is all there is to mp3, then you're in a rut.

There are LOTS of mp3 players out there. If you want a free one, I recommend Sonique (and you can read my review of it here on Epinions). But if you're ready to upgrade and...

Thu, 13 Jun 2002 20:54:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - NETFLIX is a great online DVD rental service that not only saves you trips back and forth to the "brick and mortar" videostore, but which can also save you all those late fees you might have paid in the past.

The majority of folks here on...

Marvin the Martian: Logitech's QuickCam 3000 Pro

Wed, 29 May 2002 20:18:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - The first thing I noticed about the Logitech 3000 is the black "visor helmet" on its orb (not pictured above), which slides up and down in front of the lens like a privacy screen. It's really a lenscap. But it makes the device look something like...

Zip Me Ten Times

Thu, 4 Apr 2002 02:12:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - If you still use a 100MB Zip Drive -- like I do -- then I'm going to convince you why you should buy the 10-pack bundle of Iomega brand disks rather than any other available package. I'll try to come up with ten good reasons; one for each disk.

In Hot Water

Tue, 4 Sep 2001 23:27:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author unheimlich - It's something of a tradition here to write a casual, loose review when you hit the big five-oh. (That's fifty REVIEWS, not years). But for my 50th review on Epinions, I'm issuing myself a nail-biting, nerve-wracking real-time challenge: to spend as...
