Worked Great for a Little while
These had great sound for about a week or so and then all of a sudden the sound died.... but I guess you get what you pay for. | 0negative

Not Very good
I was so happy to get this until i used it it almost never was able to clearly broadcast a signal always static and distortion no matter what station, battery life, distance to antenna, volume on the ipod. the battery life was also very poor. i went through 2 of these and both of them i hated and did not last long i have yet to find a good one except my friend uses the iriver one and it seems to have a clear signal but the auto off is a con and there are no batteries which would be a nice option | 0negative

Good sound, great price
I am particularly hard on my headphones, so I need to buy a new pair every 6 months. I wanted something that was cheap, but would provide a full sound. These are the best minimalist over-ear headphones I have purchased so far. The clips are a little annoying to position on the ear, but once they are on, they stay on, even when running. My only complaint is the cord is bit long for my taste; it gets caught on stuff as I walk by. Hopefully it won't catch on something and tear the wires out. | 1positive

RETHINK Purchasing from Sony
I must say I have had a very, very bad experience with this paticular home theater system and Sony. I can't actually rate the system because I have yet to use it. I received this system the end of October and after spending several hours putting it together was only able to play two DVD's. After that I couldn't get a picture. I then spent several hours over the phone with their help desk and after we exhausted every possible solution I was told to send it back, which I did. When I finally got it back I hooked it up and it still did not work - again had to spend considerable time exhausting possible solutions on the phone with the help desk. I was asked to send it back yet again and also told I would not be getting a new DVD player but a returned or refurbished one. I find this unacceptable and due to the fact I have had to waste my time and money I would NEVER purchase any Sony product from here on out. | 0negative

Great Value, Simple Set-up
I know next to nothing about computers. The set-up was simple. I had a problem because my Verizon DSL provider uses a WinPoet dialer, but called D-Link tech support, got right through, and the guy walked me through the fix - and with the router, no dialer needed! Installed the 650 cards on 2 Dell laptops, 1 running Windows ME, the other XP; installation of the cards was just automatic. I have great connections & speed, even out in the back yard! I have not had any drop-offs, as others have reported here. I'm a very satisfied customer. I just wish they had the rebate when I bought! The 650 card for the laptops is now cheap as dirt. | 1positive

Not so hot IR repeater
I ordered this repeater to work with my DTV box and was very disappointed with the functionality of the device. I struggled to change channel with this thing for over a month and finally gave in and put my DTV box back on the table LOS so I did not have to use this thing anymore. I talked with the distributer of this thing trying all their suggestions for making the thing work and nothing helped. The instructions say you can use the emitter from 15' but mine had to be less than 4 inches and usually pushed right up to the IR receiver of my box.Buy this repeater if you don't mind having to press a remote button several times to get it to work OR you don't mind the channels changing even when you did not press anything. I gave one star because it can change channels but makes you nuts at the same time. | 0negative

Very Pleased!
I purchased this Unit In January, I've used it for about 4 monthes now. I love the ease of this unit, and the amount of room on the hard drive. I have some issues with channel listing, but from what I can figure it's because of the fact the area I live in has differnt channel listings and it loads more than one, thus giving us 3 different listings for channel 5! Other than that I find that I love it! | 1positive

Crappy quality, you get what you pay for
The connector still works but the retractable part died the second day of use. I pulled it to use it and it didn't retract after that. For the price, it's a cheap backup charging cable. | 0negative

Major problems with installing software
I was very excited about getting this scanner. But I had nothing but trouble trying to get it to work. The software required would not install, giving a Fatal Error. I worked with 4 different support technicians at HP, each guessing another thing to try - all to no avail. I am a software professional and a power user, so the issues were pretty bad to have held me up like this. I am now looking at other brands of scanners. | 0negative

Awesome!
This was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my husband, but he was home when the package arrived. We haven't stopped eating french fries since then. I think I have gained 10 pounds. :)It works perfectly. My husband likes to make Bacalaitos and the batter gets stuck to the wire baskets of other deep fryers or to the coils. NOT WITH THIS ONE! They come out so delicious and perfect. Love this thing!!! | 1positive

Very basic
I bought two cases for some WD Passports that I own. They are hard cases -- no padding whatsoever. They're also slightly too large for my drive and have no way to compensate (stretching, padding). Basically, they let you keep water off your drive while in transit. I'm thinking a couple of wool socks or gloves would do a better job at shock absorption! (Heck, you could couple that with a ziplock baggie and save yourself the $13!) | 0negative

BEWARE!!! -- Not Original Canon Product.
Comparing with the battery included with the camera, you will realize that THIS BATTERY ISN'T AN ORIGINAL CANON PRODUCT, is a copy with the Canon logo. In fact the front legend is different compared with the original. If you pay attention to details like the the package, the hologram and finishes at junctions you'll realize that is not original product and is offered like and original Canon product.In any case if you want the original battery go to BB or another store and you will see that the original is exactly the same like the included with your camera, same logo, same legend with a very cool hologram and a perfect package but at $60 or more plus taxes each. So I think that it's not a great discount, the seller claims 57% off!! for me this one doesn't have any discount; $25.95 is the full price! the people believes that this is an original product with a tremendous discount.... One (1) star is my rating for this reason.However THIS BATTERY HAVE THE SAME DURATION OR A LITTLE BETTER compared with the Canon battery included with the camera so is a good deal for the price; two batteries with a great performance for the price (or less) of just one. Five (5) stars is my rating for this.So three stars is the average rating.========= UPDATE -- After four months of use:The battery life is now the worst in the world, the charge is completed in 20 minutes using the original Canon charger and, obviusly, the duration is for just a 50 aprox. pictures using the flash and the battery is overheated inside the camera; sometimes I think that could be explode inside and bye bye my SX230.So, for me, is confirmed that this battery is garbage, the original Canon that came with the camera still running perfect and I can get easily around 250 pictures per charge. Please BEWARE with cheaper imitations and made in china bateries like this one. In my case I wasted my money, $45.98 for two bateries.Now, 1 star rating because doesn't exist zero starts.... | 0negative

Works for my Nikon d70
I now have two options for loading pics to my iPod 20gb Photo. Both methods work perfectly.I can use the Nikon USB cable that came with the camera. Plug the USB cable from camera to connector plugged into iPod. d70 plug is located under rubber boot at base of camera.(FYI - Remember to use the camera menu to change from USB Mass Storage to PTP. Change back when transfer is complete.)I can also use my Sandisk USB Compact Flash card reader. Simply plug the reader into the connector and the Nikon CF memory card into the reader.I use the NEF/jpeg option on the d70. The transfer to the iPod then contains both NEF and jpeg images allowing you to review the jpegs on the iPod screen. | 1positive

Impressive Camera
I'm new to digital photography and was very impressed with Canon's A40. The camera has similar features to the proven A20 model, but distinguishes itself in several ways.For example, the A40 feels solid and is very attractive. It also captures 10-30 second movie clips in AVI format which can be played on Quicktime. The movie images are a bit grainy, but movements and sounds are captured quite well. Using some software which was included with the A40, I was able to convert the AVI clips into MPEG and view them on my PocketPC. Finally, the camera is less expensive than the A20, but delivers the same quality images.My experience with the A40 pictures is that 2Mexapixels are fine. The clarity of the images is remarkable. And making short movie clips is an added benefit to getting the A40.For the price and photo quality, the A40 is an exceptional product and deserves everyone of its 5 stars. | 1positive

Works Great
A nice plug and play WLAN adapter for your TiVo. It would be nice if TiVo built this capability into their systems. A little bit of on-screen configuration is required once you connect it to your TiVo, but since you already have a wireless LAN setup (else you would not be purchising this) there is nothing mysterious to the setup that you should not already know. Signal quality and penetration is good. We're probably paying a little more for the TiVo branded emblem, but it is more aesthetic than the typical USB LAN adapter. Good solid construction and weighted base to keep it from getting knocked around too easily.The capabilities that are opened up by networking your TiVo are pretty cool, including: a) Using your home PC as a media server for the TiVo for viewing pictures, listening to your MP3s/WMAs, transferring saved video to/from your PC, etc, b) Access to a wide variety of online services via your TiVo (weather, traffic, news, product information, movie theaters, live audio streams, audio and video podcasts, etc), and c) downloading a variety of online video to your TiVo for playback, d) purchase of online videos (think Netflix but delivered directly to your TiVo). | 1positive

Bad Picture quality, flash problems.
I bought this camera for my Mom when we went on the trip together. I'm glad I brought my own camera with me as otherwise we wouldn've have any good pictures. The picture quality was really bad, most of the pictures weren't clear. The outdoor pictures were ok, but indoor pictures were aweful in 80% of the cases. The camera is also quite slow to start and takes forever to charge the flash. We also could not set the flash to fire in the auto mode, it just would not fire. The instruction to the camera are very limited and unclear. I've used 6-7 different digital cameras before and this one is the worst I've ever used. | 0negative

Did the job!
I used the EZ Upgrade Kit to upgrade the original Seagate PATA 80G drive in my old Compaq Presario V2000 Laptop to a 160GB Seagate ST9160821A since I was running low on space on the original drive. The laptop came with a 8GB D: "recovery" partition in addition to the normal C: partition with Windows XP (SP3) on it. Rather than use the EZ-Gig II software that came with the adapter I decided to use the self booting EZ Gig III software (V3.8.6) that you can download for free from Apricorn's website. I put my new drive in the USB enclosure and used the default settings, and to my surprise, the clone operation went flawlessly. Removed the new drive from the enclosure, then installed it in my laptop and it booted right up. A minor problem was that the "recovery" partition (which I don't need anyway because the software on it is now really ancient) expanded from 8GB to 16GB. This was usable, but not quite what I desired. The instructions for the EZ Gig III software indicates that the user can manually define how big the target partitions are going to be. But I could not seem to coerce the software into simply giving me the original 8GB sized "recovery" D: partition, with all of the remaining space going to the C: partition. Since I didn't want to lose another 8GB of space to something I didn't really need anyway, with my new "cloned" drive in the laptop, I just booted (directly from the CD drive) Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn). You can download (for free) bootable Ubuntu CD images from Ubuntu's website. Once Ubuntu was up, I used "gparted" from a pulldown on the desktop to resize the Windows partitions on the harddrive. I used gparted to eliminate the 16GB "recovery" partition, and expand the normal "C:" partition to use all of the rest of the space on the drive. I figured I had nothing to lose-- if it didn't work, I could simply reclone the drive and live with the 16GB recovery partition that EZ-Gig III created. But Ubuntu and gparted came through-- when I rebooted my laptop off of the hard drive, the recovery partition was gone and all of the extra space was available on the C: drive. The gparted folks were even thoughtful enough to set a flag such that when when XP boots, it automatically runs a filesystem check to verify the integrity of the filesystem. The bottom line is that the hardware and software from Apricorn got my old laptop running with a new harddrive. Their software is not perfect, but with a little help free help from Ubuntu, it got me where I wanted to go. Also note that while I have only tested the USB harddrive enclosure with a PATA drive, the enclosure is cleverly designed such that it can accept either a PATA or SATA 2.5" harddrive. Recommended. | 1positive

Works well, with minor shortcoming(s)
I bought this 6-port USB 2.0 card to try and extend the life of my aging PowerMac G4 (866 MHz). Not much can be done to improve the processing speed of this machine but I figured it could still be used to store photos, back up files and perform more basic tasks. Since transferring files with the original USB ports was getting slow with the large file sizes that are so common now, upgrading to USB 2.0 seemed the thing to do.Installation was a breeze and the transfer speeds have been given an astronomical boost. Transferring 4GB of data would have taken close to 2 hours with original USB 1.0 but only takes 7 minutes with USB 2.0. Needless to say, the $12.95 + shipping I spent was absolutely worth it.The only glitch I've experienced is that some of my portable hard drives can't seem to draw enough power from a single port. I have to plug in both the 'Power' AND 'Power/Data' plugs in order to mount these particular drives. That means two ports are taken. However there are sufficient ports for all my peripherals, and this glitch doesn't occur with all my hard drives.One more thing: I count only 5 ports (you can see that even in the product photo right here). Maybe 5 is the new 6? Anyway, I'm still very happy with this product. No regrets at all. | 1positive

Very bad RF interference, but excellent otherwise
Excellent price, excellent color and seems to be built good.HOWEVER, IT YOU NEED A TRANSMITTER TO RUIN THE RECEPTION ON LOTS OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES, THIS IS THE RIGHT PRODUCT.I have an outdoor TV antenna and after 1 second of plugging this product in, I lost reception on many channels.This camera will get your neighbors mad at you as the RF output interference it causes is really bad. The FCC obvious never approved this product! | 0negative

Better than the Optio S
I liked the Exilim much better than the Optio S. I am a current Pentax Optio S owner but had the Exilim previously. I used the Exilim extensively for my honeymoon and loved it! The only 2 cons I experienced with the Exilim is 1)the flash is not powerful so not ideal for taking pictures in dim light and 2) the docking station broke after the first month. If Dell, the reseller, wouldn't have hassled me about replacing the docking station I would not have returned it.I found the Exilim to be much more user friendly and better designed ergonomically. The 2 advantages of the Optio S is that it performs better under dim lighting and is slightly smaller. My primary gripe with the Optio is with its super slow shutter speed. My goal was a simple point and shoot camera to conveniently 'capture the moment' after I have my baby. Adults can't even sustain a genuine smile/pose long enough for me to take a good candid shot let alone expect an infant to. I feel like I keep missing the moment vs capturing it. The downside outweights any potential advantage to me, unless your primary targets are still lifes in dim settings.Though in most respects both cameras are very comparable, I still think the Exilim is a superior camera overall. In retrospect, I would've reordered another Exilim. | 1positive

its what youd expect for the price
i bought this because i am a huge fan of tilt shift photos and wanted to shoot some of my own. i got the canon version at what i considered a very good price and when i received it i was not impressed at all. usually id keep something if it was this cheap because it would still have a use, but this lens tends to give a motion blur look in the blurred out areas instead of a depth of field blur look, which is what i really wanted. i guess i will have to save up and get a better version of this lens, or even the actual canon one. | 0negative

This is the 1st lens you want to buy after you got your new Canon camera !
I just received my Canon 70-300mm USM/IS a couple of weeks ago, and I finally got the chance this week end to go out and try it. I was kind of scared after reading the other reviews that I would have issues with the quality of the images at full zoom. Well, let me tell you something, WHAT A GREAT LENS !I was able to take EXCELLENT pictures of my fiancee at a full 300mm settings. After reviewing the pictures on my computer, I was amazed at the details. You can clearly see the smalled strands of hair in the wind. Absolutely amazing.I also took pictures of my dog running on the beach at full 300mm. Some people told me that the focus was kind of slow and I would have issue. It's a little bit slower I agree, but I took great shots of a moving subject. I do not know how good and fast would be the focus in another kind of day (not sunny, low light...) but my first experience with it was great.If you go and look at the customer images link, you will find the one I uploaded (under Simon Templar) and you'll see what I am talking about.The IS is also a great feature. No need to walk with a monopod anymore.Gotta love it ! | 1positive

what happened?
Is it the price of fame that a talented young writer gets forced to publish something in the hopes of topping his/her initial success? Is it our commercial capitalist culture that thinks the public will just eat it up? How did the smart authoress of The Secret History come up with this flaccid, downright campy second effort? Was Miss Tartt under that much pressure to produce? Some writers only have one book in them. That could be the case here. Whatever the circumstances, The Little Friend is not little - and it's nobody's friend. If you want Southern Gothic, stick to Capote, a true original. Tartt's treading water here, trying hard to come up with her next cash cow. She strikes out on all counts. Maybe she should pen a memoir and explain what happened. Might be more interesting. | 0negative

Good Case
The thing is, I bought a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM Lens and am delighted with it. But because the item description for that purchase failed to indicate that this very lens case was included (along with the lens hood) I also ordered this case plus the hood and then had to return these items as extras. All good products and this lens case is perfect... just wish the original description has shown all that went with the lens. | 1positive

Total junk; cheaply made, fell apart within a month
I bought one of these bags during a sale at our college bookstore. My faithful REI backpack, which lasted me nearly ten years, is finally developing zipper problems and so when I saw this bag for $20, I figured it was a good replacement for my current pack.Unfortunately, this backpack went to pieces pretty quickly. In particular, the straps on both sides began to fray badly at the lower joint, within a month of purchase. I haven't done anything with this bag but carry books in it, but it's literally coming apart at the seams. My old REI pack, on the other hand, is still in pretty decent condition despite having been used on camping trips as well as for school.On top of everything else, the bookstore refused to give me a refund since this was a clearance item... so I'm out twenty bucks and I need a new backpack again. Now I know why they had extras left over. Buyer beware. | 0negative

Could not get it to work
The good news is (at least nights and weekends) I could get a live person for tech support without much waiting. The bad news is that I talked to 4 different people on 4 different calls and never got the thing to work at all.I wasted many hours on this, and from the very first call they admitted the included software isn't very good and recommended I download something else.(I was trying to connect a PC running Windows '95 with one running Windows ME.) | 0negative

Excellent Accessory for Tivo Series 2 or 3 Player
Length:: 3:56 MinsI will make it easy - If you own a series 2 or 3 Tivo unit AND you have a wireless connection you should buy this. At the very least it will eliminate the need for a phone connection into your Tivo unit.Important Note - You will want to buy this at the same time as you buy your Tivo Unit - the reason is the Tivo Unit will likely need an update before it works properly. If you do not have this wireless connection you will need to update the Tivo over your phone line - which will take many hours! Using you wireless connection you should be able to update your Tivo any a matter of minutes!Pros- Super easy to install - see the video- Eliminates the need for a phone line- allows you to purchase movies on demand from Netflix, Amazon and other retailers- allows you to watch YouTube- Not overly expensiveCons-- Ideally, a wireless connection should be built into your Tivo without the need of a separate device.Final Verdict -If you have a Tivo - buy it5 stars | 1positive

GREAT TV
This tv is great! Ive owned a 42" plasma and trust me the difference in just how much heat my plasma put off compared to this is a god send. It has a great picture, the best non HD picture ive seen for a HD LCD TV. The pic is better then any other tv ive owned. I own A playstation 3 and xbox 360 elite. With the HDMI hooked up and pushing both systems to 1080p let me tell you im blown away and so is everyone at my house who plays the games on this tv. The screen is awseome shipping was good and the picture is worth it. The ambilights make the screen so much brighter and makes enjoying tv in a whole new way. HD movies and broadcast is super good. I would recomend this to anyone. Good tv trust me if you want one this ones worth the money. Even if you watch analog cable its worth it. | 1positive

Works!
I got this to have both a computer monitor and a tv hooked to my computer. I'm using it as a mirror, but it probably would work just fine as two different screens. The quality of the image is fine on the TV, its obviously not HD quality, but it's the same as a regular cable feed would be. Very happy with the price and product! | 1positive

Not worth the money
I got this for christmas 2004. Played 5 DVD's on it and started to get the "No Disk" reading. I only had it for 1 month. I sent it back and they are replacing it since it is under warranty but they are replacing it with a different model. We will see if it has the same problems. According to reviews of the 1700m model I expect the same. I suggest you spend a little more money and get a better DVD Player. | 0negative

Got noise if you're listening
I use these headphones to listen to streaming audio through my computer. I have found that the noise (primarily hiss) is significant. I plug them into a Logitech surround sound unit and have to turn the volume all the way up on it, volume all the way up on my software volume control, and then turn down the volume on the headphones. If I don't, the hiss is intolerable. Additionally, I find the noise that the headphones pick up just walking a room away is large. I do not recommend them for walking around the house or going a significant distance from the base. With all the hiss they pick up I cannot call them audiophile quality. | 0negative

Failed within 30 minutes of owning it.
Purchased from Warhouse Deals. Thought I got a deal, instead I got dealt with. Paid for the RCA low level install with subwoofer wired remote and labor. Returning tomorrow because Amazon lived up to their return policy which I am grateful.The $209 install I paid for will have to change because I am getting a more robust system. Of the $209 install, I lose $120 because that was how much it cost to install the Basslink, yet I will still have the wiring from the battery, low level RCA outputs and subwoofer control so it isn't all bad.I did play this unit loud and it sounded well for a while. It augmented the factory Infinity system in my 2011 Hyundai Sante Fe Limited 4WD. Heck my 10 speaker system in the truck will have to hold its own until I decide on a better amp. Even with the fuse plugged in the subwoofer still blew. I replaced the fuse and all I got was a horrendous rattling sound. My feelings was hurt :(All-n-all, at least I can return it. It could have been worse but it will never be an Infinity product again. STAY AWAY from BASSLINKS! | 0negative

Bleh AWFUL
Bleh, these are AWFUL.I ordered a pack and a pack of the HP screen protectors.The Belkin's use a non permanent adhesive that no matter how much you smooth it, give your screen a gnarly look. While this holds well, it looks terrible.The HP protectors have NO adhesive but are held in by tension on the edges. These produce no screen artifacts while looking great. | 0negative

I rent a lot of DVD's from Netflix
Sometimes the DVD's arrive scratched and either doesn't play or skips during the movie.

Kaput
Worked well, easy to set up. Purchased in July, 2007, in March 2010 the screen went blank and I have not been able to fix it. Still can use remote to turn on/off the TV and cable box, but without the use of the screen I cannot record programs off the cable box, watch movies (DVD)or listen to music(CD). For the cost of the remote it should last more that two plus years. | 0negative

Great, until they break, and they WILL break.
I was one of those people who pours over reviews before buying anything. I saw that tons of people adored these earbuds. They're stylish, have great sound and deliver very nice bass. They were probably my favorite headphones I owned... until they broke. Like a NUMBER OF PEOPLE on this website have stated. After about four or five months of use (and only about 2 or 3 times a week) the sound in one headphone just "POP" died. That's not what I expect from $70 earphones (that's the price when I bought them). I, of course, didn't have my receipt so I couldn't get a refund. Please do not be like me and think that "Oh it probably won't happen to me." Because it will. I used them gently and put them wrapped up in the case that was provided, in the fashion that v-moda suggested and they still broke. Don't take the chance. Keep searching! These aren't worth the risk. | 0negative

This Radio Was A Good Receiver, But Did Not Last Long
When I first got, I was happy that I got it along time ago. I opened the package and put 2 AA batteries in and started tuning around with it. During the day the frequencies were quite limited and I was lucky to hear some stations on the 19 meter band, the frequency range was the 49 Meter band to the 15 meter band, it did receive alot of shortwave signals on the 49 meter band. The one thing that is lacking is the 25 meter band 11.0 to 13.0 MHz, the 60 meter band 4.0 to 6.0 MHz. It's a very good portable shortwave radio to keep around and use for bandscanning.MW - 514 to 1726 kHz - AM Broadcast BandSW 1 - 5.47 to 6.69 MHz - 49 meter bandSW 2 - 6.69 to 7.57 MHz - 41 meter bandSW 3 - 8.37 to 9.50 MHz - 32 meter bandSW 4 - 9.52 to 10.88 MHz - 31 meter bandSW 5 - 13.08 to 16.45 MHz - 19 meter bandSW 6 - 14.85 to 18.40 MHz - 16 meter bandSW 7 - 19.99 to 23.65 MHz - 15 meter bandFM - 87.30 to 108.8 MHz - FM Broadcast BandI would highly recommend that you get a wire antenna for this radio to receive shortwave radio signals. The disadvantage is the AM band, someone in China did not tune the AM band properly so signals on 10 kHz is 15 kHz which means that 790 kHz is 795 kHz, 1050 kHz is 1055 kHz. The FM band works really good, but it does receive most local signals, but 100.5 FM is bleeding some parts of the band.This shortwave radio is a great starter radio, but I would recommend you get a real shortwave radio with continous coverage. This radio only receives strong and weak shortwave signals on the assigned international broadcast bands. If you use a wire antenna you will not have a problem receiving signals from all over the world.UPDATE : I was using the radio to tune FM stations after replacing the batteries, then the knob started coming loose and stopped tuning. I opened it up and found out that thestring came off the wheel. This happened with the second one before, this is terriblewhy it came loose. It was a good radio receiver, I don't know if I will buy another one. Please come up with a different tuning configuration and then I'll think about itit's not a dial type radio, you don't need strings attached. | 0negative

High Quality Print Image & Paper
I wanted to write a review on this product after I decided to try another well-known brand of DVD Case Inserts. The print quality and paper of this insert is super high quality and I would recommend it to anyone. If you are looking for "photo quality" print image, these are the ones to buy. They are the same price as the "Name Brand" ones. | 1positive

Nikon service is horrible
I bought the 4600 for my parents in 2005. A seal in the lens housing broke in November and we sent it to Nikon. When Nikon recieved the camera they said it had "liquid" damage to the lens shutter area. My parents didn't send the camera in that condition, yet Nikon claims that it is "impossible" for that kind of "accident" to occur at their facility. Two months later I am still arguing with them over this. One of their service represatives, Rob Mustard, told me (paraphrasing) "I have 70 service orders in front of me and our facility gets hundreds of repairs each week; I've heard every excuse imaginable for why it isn't the customer's fault." Besides being rude, doesn't that scare you about his facility getting in hundreds of repairs each week???? Don't buy Nikon is my recommendation. | 0negative

Many Problems with DRC 8335 DVR-VCR
I have had my RCA DRC 8335 DVR-VCR for about six months. This is my second machine and I am still having trouble with it. I thought a six head unit would give me better video from my tapes, but it has not. In both cases the machines got to a point where all they would say is HELLO-HELLO-HELLO over and over again. Would not take instructions from the remote nor would most of the front panels buttons work. Tried all the usual fixes, holding the off buttom until it shut off. Un-pluging the machine from all cables and letting it sit overnight with not cables or power to it. This thing is run by a computer and what I think happens is the boot up sequence fails. There needs to be a way to acess these machine from a laptop with a diagnostic program to get them up and running again. The motherboard needs a Cmos battery backup for the software and default reset so no matter what happens, it can do a fresh boot from memory if need be. I finally open my unit up and took a look inside, I would say the problem is that these units and there are many out there being manufactured by various companies are just not built as well as they could be. Every computer needs to be reloadable off a CD and these DVR-VCR machines need to be the same way.Ralph | 0negative

Buyer Beware...Koss Makes Crap
I bought a Koss 5 disc progressive scan home theater system for Christmas last year. I should have known when the one I brought home didn't work, that I was making a big mistake. The machine had trouble reading discs (as did the first one I purchased). It then worked for a while. Long enough to expire the warranty. It has now been exactly 10 months since I bought it and it will not even power up. Do not be seduced by a great price on a product that "looks" good. Koss is a horrible brand and I've had nothing but problems since the day I bought it. I should have just gotten my money back when I could instead of hoping it would turn out to be a great deal. I could have just mailed them a check for $150. I've got nobody to blame but myself. Consider yourself warned. | 0negative

Stay away, far away
In three months, have had four Linksys routers, and three adapters due to faulty equipment. It took hours on the phone with abrasive, sarcastic tech support to figure this out. And, to add insult to injury, it's a toll call to get authorization to send this (...) back. Stay away from Linksys. | 0negative

error codes galore
i got this player a few weeks ago. image quality is excellent. but i get error codes on a lot of movies. the error code is 408 bp508, if i am not mistaken.DO NOT buy this or any other Toshiba player for that matter, to see hd dvd movies. use the xbox hd player add on instead, if you have one, if not, you should buy one. i used to have an xbox hd dvd add on, and i never got any errors or problems with it. so i imagine that the problem is with the toshiba hd dvd players, and not the discs. my a-2 hd DVD player also has the latest firmware, and it still does not work properly. i wasted money by buying this player. now i know why hd DVD lost the war with bluray. Ive never had problems with my bluray player. if i have to watch an hd dvd movie that constantly stops, and gives me error codes, might as well not watch it at all. my next purchase will be an xbox and the add on hd player. | 0negative

Best anti glare i've tried so far
It takes time to master how to put it without bubbles, but once installed it is a relief how much better I can see the screen without the annoying reflections.Tips to install:Make sure you, the rag and the environment is as lint free as possible. You may want to double up your shirt sleeves so the static cling won't attract lint from your clothing.Thoroughly clean the iPad surface of finger prints, lint, and dirt. Keep a hair dryer blowing cold air at a distance to blow away any dust particles that may end up on your screen prior to the application.Peel the film off completely with clean hands. I used tape rolled into a loop to handle the four corners so as to avoid my fingers touching anything that may leave a lasting impression.First concentrate in aligning the film well, and don't get distracted by the bubbles. I used the bottom part where the button hole is as a guide to laying it down. You may need to peel it off several times until you get it right. Warning: each time you peel it off it picks up tremendous amount of static electricity so it is important that your environment is clean or you'll attract more dust than a "Swiffer rag" mopping the floor.Once aligned start working your large bubbles out with the included cardboard card. I used the included rag and my credit card making a stiffer straight edge with the soft touch of the rag in between the card and the film.Some small bubbles will appear that can't be pushed out. Those, if looked closer, will most likely have trapped a spec of dust or lint. Work from the closest corner to the bubble and peel off just enough to reach the problem area, as instructed with the double sided tape, and with a fresh tape on your other hand or finger, reach in and use it to rid the film or screen from the dust by slightly sticking the tape to the problem areas. That way all the dust captured between the glass and film will transfer itself to the sticky side of the tape and you will slowly clear all the bubbles for a perfect finish. | 1positive

Very good value.
Very good scope for the money. If you do not want to spend more than $400 for a scope and case this could make you happy. I now own a Pentax PF-80ED-A and this one doesn't give as good of view/quality image especially at the higher powers but then again it cost a fraction as much. This would make a great scope for someone who enjoys birding and wants to keep their purchase around $400. Very good reviews by some birding equipment websites. | 1positive

Fine for kids but otherwise annoying
I bought these radios for my daughter for Christmas. The price was right considering she was using them outside in our back yard. Only get about 45 minutes to an hour of usage before they need charged again. The life of the charge is definitely less than I expected. | 0negative

I love my little tv!
I love virtually everything about this product. If I am at home, I have it tuned to a local music/news TV station constantly. The sound quality and picture are terrific.As for installation...I am a 75 year old lady and installing it under my cabinet took all of 25 minutes with no problem.Based on my experience, my son bought the same TV. He was able to instal his in less than 30 minutes while taking care of his two small kids.We're not sure what everyone's issue with installation was. | 1positive

Mustang MV TILT 3 Wall mount for 50" TV
My husband and I installed it, well he did most of the work. But it was up in minutes. He located the wall studs, levelled the area, and drilled the holes. He had no problem getting the mounting unit up. I helped raise the new plasma up [a little heavy] and the hooks on the bracket just slid right on without much problem at all. The adjustable angle is great since we mounted it above a little cabinet and pulled the wires through the wall so it looks like a big picture on the wall. The same unit is around twice as much in the local electronics store. Great deal. | 1positive

Rename it??
I bought a "Dazzle Digital Video Creator 150 Hi Speed". I had heard high reviews about it's performance, supported by Pinnacle software, so I bought one.Dazzle is now owned by Pinnacle. They've turned this unit to junk. Now they are trying to rename this unit and sell it as a "PINNACLE S DAZZLE DVC 150 VIDCAP-USB 2.0 EDIT SOL"?I've been in contact with their tech support over my issues and they are either not willing to divuldge any information or really have no idea what they're doing. I've isolated the problem with my system to a single file and all they tell me to do is uninstall/reinstall. Recently, they have only inquired about my recent findings.Unless you have the knowledge to create registry switches to use this, as I have done, proceed with caution. Don't rely on any advanced tech support. | 0negative

Avoid this product...
This product was substandard. In tests the radios were unable to transmit voices, they transmitted so much static you could not hear the other person from 200 ft away. Tried new batteries and still received too much static to hear the other person. Static did not occur on every transmission but did occur in 80% of the trials. We purchased a set of Motorola Talkabouts and have been pleased with their performance. | 0negative

Not what I expected
Based on other reviews I went ahead and purchased the iHome iH5 Clock Radio and was not impressed to say the least. I didn't think the sound was that great and there was no bass. Ended up returning it and for $199 got the Klipsch IFI which is worlds better. I am very satisfied with the Klipsch. | 0negative

Perfect mouse for traveling - 2 thumbs up!
This mouse has made traveling with my laptop so much easier. Even though I tend to be an avid user of the track-pad on my PowerBook it can become very tedious and making room for a large mouse has made packing tricky. Since purchasing this mouse I've had no problems and have increase my productivity while on the road. It has also made it easier for those non track-pad users to jump on to my computer without a problem.Although it took a few uses to adapt to the smaller size, I wouldn't trade it for any other mouse. The cord can adjust to any length and has never tangled. The software included to customize the mouse buttons, speed, etc. is easy to use and has allowed me to adapt the mouse to my specific style.Definitely a must have mouse. | 1positive

Most Bang for the Buck!
I purchased the Ultimate Ear Super.fi 3 Studio earphones just before Christmas to replace my old standards, the Sony Fontopia MDR-EX71SLA ear buds. I'm much happier with the Super.fi 3s. These earphones are extremely fun to listen to. They convey the music with a sense of energy the Sonys never had.Are they the perfect earphones? Not even close - but they're darn good for the money. Like others have mentioned in their reviews, proper fit is essential. I tried all the different size tips before settling on the smallest silicon pair for my small ears. Once inserted properly, they're very comfortable, provide great noise isolation, and sound awesome. The fact that they loop around your ear makes for a great solution at the gym. These earphones stay in place without need for adjustment while running on the treadmill or using an elliptical machine. And the short, thick symmetrical cord rarely tangles, unlike the thin and awkward J-cord on the Sonys.As for sound quality, the Sonys have deeper bass and a more extended treble, but the midrange sounds recessed, IMHO. The Super.fi 3s have tighter bass, a much better midbass and midrange, and slightly rolled off highs. They're very warm and lush sounding. Yes, I wish there was a little more detail at the top, but because of its absence the Super.fi 3 never becomes fatiguing, even at loud volumes. I've thrown all genres of music at them and they haven't failed to amuse me. They're also easy to drive, requiring about half the power of the Sonys.For critical listening and articulate detail, look elsewhere. But for good fun on the cheap, the Super.fi 3 earphones really deliver the music and the passion behind it. | 1positive

AWEFUL Customer Service SHOPGOPRO IS BAD
BUYER BEWAREStars are not editable!I ordered two and the first one was damaged in shipping. ShopGoPro responded quickly by both phone and email and resolved the problem. They were very responsive and the second cartridge is perfect.So at that time I was very impressed with the customer support and would purchase from this company again knowing that. You never know until you have a problem!So they called me and asked me to remove my BAD rating - I did and I gave them a favorable review.BUYER BEWARE - if you remove a BAD seller rating you can not replace it... but you can continue to review the product.The product was damaged - I gave they called and were very nice on the phone - MONTHS later I have not received my replacement cartridge even though I returned the defective one.SO I have paid for 2 and only have one!They are not answering emails and now I regret having removed the bad rating. They were rather frantic about having me remove it because it was the end of the quarter. My time is valuable to me and the time spent complaining is certainly NOT worth the cost savings. | 1positive

It worked fine until......
I wanted this product to use in my motorhome, and initially I loved it. It showed my music on the tv, with a nice display. The remote worked fine too. Then, I lost the left channel. After several calls and emails, I find out they have no way of doing any repair. So it worked fine, once, then its a doorstop. Too bad, it could have been great, but I am afraid to buy another one with the poor support. | 0negative

Phenomenal HDTV
I've had this television for approximately two weeks now and I couldn't be happier. The HD picture is simply stunning, with very realistic colors and good black rendering (which can be a weak spot for some plasma sets). I also have a Sony upconverting DVD player that looks extraordinarily good on the Panasonic, although not as good as a genuine HD signal. If you have a large DVD collection that you'd rather not replace, I would recommend investing in an upconverting DVD player. They're pretty cheap - I got mine for $71 plus shipping on the Amazon marketplace. Be sure to connect the DVD player to the TV with an HDMI cable to receive the full benefits of upconversion.For optimal picture quality, use an HDMI cable to connect your cable box to the TV. My Comcast cable box does not have an HDMI output, but it does have a DVI output, and you can get a DVI to HDMI cable to send a digital signal to the TV (as opposed to the analog component cables that the cable box came with). If you have to use a DVI output, note that DVI outputs can't handle sound, so you'll need to run an optical cable to your home theater or the component cables to the TV in order to get sound.Also, like most HDTVs, the Panasonic's default picture settings are extremely bright. This is great for getting your attention in the store but is not particularly realistic. The Plasma TV Buying Guide used a colorimeter to determine the optimal settings for the picture. They are as follows:Picture Mode: StandardPicture: +22Brightness: +8Color: -1Tint: -4Sharpness: -14Color Temperature: WarmEnhanced Black Level: OffUsing these settings will give you a far more realistic picture than the artificially bright default settings.The bottom line: Get this TV, make sure you hook it up properly, always using HDMI cables (or DVI to HDMI cables if your cable box doesn't have an HDMI output) and optical cables for optimal picture and sound. Then adjust your picture settings to the ones the Plasma TV Buying Guide recommends. You'll be absolutely thrilled with the results.The TH-50PX60U receives my very highest recommendation. | 1positive

NEEDS MUCH MORE IMPOROVEMENT!
The idea is great, it just needs some major improvements. The most glaring problem is the NON-PORTABILITY FACT. This unit plugs into the wall only and has no battery power to be able to take it with you to show off your pictures. That majorly [stinks]! Another major pain is the fact that the item only has PHONE JACK hookups. Look, it has to connect to the internet to get information and pictures anyway and PHONEJACKS take forever so they should also add the option of ETHERNET/NETWORK hookup. If they could add those features to the new model when it comes out I would be much more intrested in trying it again but this one has got to go. If you want PORTABILITY and SPEED, than you do not want this model. Wait for them to improve on their new technology. And hey, even better, How about support for more than just COMPACT FLASH cards too? Back to the re-drawing board for this one! | 0negative

Supposedly this is a good brand for a webcam, but I think its one of the worst quality web cams I have ever seen! The color is awful, it always seems blurry no matter what adjustments I have made, and having this cam on a notebook, you can't adjust the cam so that you see more than just someone's face. Its too close up!!! It also doesn't fit very well on my notebook either. I'm just not at all happy with it. | 0negative

Patience is a virtue needed for the cybershot
Please take what I'm going to say with a grain of salt. This review is written for a specific consumer. If you are a layperson when it comes to picture technology and want a user friendly camera to take everyday pictures right out of the box, then you need to read this review. If this is your first digital camera purchase, then you really need to take my review into consideration. Basically, you cannot use this camera without reading the manual. Another review mentions this fact, but I must reiterate. Leave it to Sony to create a great (taking others words on the usage of word "great") but confusing (my words) product. If you attempt to take pictures without thoroughly reading the manual, then you mind as well draw rather than take pictures because the pictures will be useless. I replaced my expensive cybershot with a Kodak EasyShare LS743. The user friendly interface allows me to take great pictures for everyday usage and splurge on a 512 MB memory card for less money. I'm sure if you want professional pictures then you have the money and expertise to tough out the cybershot so have fun. But if you want to take pictures just as easily as the old days, then don't purchase this product. | 0negative

Crimp on fine, but won't stay plugged in due to poor build quality. AVOID.
As several other reviews state, these simply will not stay plugged into your device. They crimp onto your wire just fine and the wire will not come out. However, the plastic tab does not have a little "catch" like EVERY OTHER connector in the WORLD has. You never get that little "click" sound when you plug them into your device because the "catch" is not there. Hence, they will come unplugged SUPER easily. Bending the tab out helps them to stay a little bit. But even the slightest amount of tension on the cord will pull these connectors out.I will be buying a whole new bulk set as ALL 100 are completely USELESS.Just awful. | 0negative

Excellent Product
This is an excellent product. I just have one doubt. I've been using Big Water Coolant UV, but the problem is that 1 bottle lasts just one week. So, my question is, Can I use other liquid cooling (like the one used in cars) to replace the coolant normally used in coputers?? I live in a very hot and humid place, maybe this BW coolant is not the one I should use. Maybe you can help me......Gracias. | 1positive

Great idea, if it works
Maybe I got a bad unit, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get this thing to get an IP address. I tried four different routers with no luck. Unfortunately there's absolutely no way to communicate with this unless it's on a network, so if it doesn't work right out of the box, you'll never get it to work. | 0negative
