rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author voodoslnkr - As every successive computer I buy becomes more portable, I find myself always lamenting the further loss of one thing: sound. Gone are the days when my music, movies, and computer beeps emanated from the gigantor audio-earmuffs attached to the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author voodoslnkr - Blu-ray is coming to TVs everywhere. There may still be many who aren't convinced that it's any better than the cheap and plentiful DVDs we have all invested in over the past years, but it will still come. This is change, and try as we might...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author voodoslnkr - Given the number of miles that I drive each day, I am always aware of the differing time it can take me to drive that distance. Like anyone else commuting in the direction of New York City during the morning rush hour knows, the time you leave the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author voodoslnkr - What with all the rage in HD these days, I figured I had to jump on the bandwagon as much as possible, and with all the recession-wrought sales these days, it seemed like a good time to get something. In light of the current prices, I figured I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author voodoslnkr - It seems to me that the market for small electronics becomes even more omnipresent every day. Among the devices on the most craved list, for whatever reason, are the small electronics that anyone can carry around with them. Those...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author voodoslnkr - It's that time of year again: new iPod time. Apple decided to spiff up the iPod Nano and made a whole new generation this time around. We are now on the fourth generation of this venerable little wonder. Of course, since Apple does nothing without...

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:03:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author voodoslnkr - A few years back Microsoft tried its hand in the portable music player market. Much like many of their other products, it was supposed to have a lot of different features but none of them really worked that while. This was in stark contrast to Apple...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author voodoslnkr - There is a problem when it comes to iPods and cars - the dilemma has always been how to get all that wonderful music stored on your computer and your iPod to come blasting out of your car speakers. One option is to buy a new car that has iPod...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author voodoslnkr - Although I have long said how much I despise the radio, it is really just the DJs and the inane garbage that comes out of their mouths that I dislike. The radio itself offers new music and the occasional intelligent comment from an on-air personality...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author voodoslnkr - This past week I had the opportunity to test out the new Creative Zen Mosaic. While it is similar to the Zen V on the inside, it screams different on the outside. Creative has taken a great MP3 player, juiced up the inside, jazzed up the outside, and...
