Sony Cybershot DSCW120/ B 7.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super S
Not worth the mone
While this camera has an impressive collection of features (albeit few useful ones), the quality of the photo it takes turned out to be very poor. We didn't expect it to be as good as the Nikon D50, 6MP SLR we purchased two years ago, but even on full quality this "7.2MP" camera's pictures were worse than a five year old 2MP camera we have. Needless to say, we were very disappointed with this ca

Premonition (Widescreen Edition)
Dreadful.
This movie is so bad I don't know where to begin. I kept thinking Groundhog Day but that was intentionally funny.
Let's start with the cast. Sandra Bullock is one of the least interesting actresses on the screen (on a par with Nicole Kidman) and I cannot recall one smile during the movie. Her husband was also a zombie; well, less zombielike than Bullock. No passion between them th

Samsung BD-P1500 1080p Blu-Ray Player
Worked great until Samsung Broke it
I could write a novel on my issues with Samsung and their qualiy control, but I'll keep this to the point.
I had the 1500 (also a 1400 but it broke the first week) since May 28th. Worked pretty well until the firmware update. After the update, I lost TrueHD audio (internal decoding or bitstreaming) and Standard DVD playback become impossible. I couldn't play a single regular DVD no

SVAT WRC101 Wireless Outdoor Remote Control Power Outlet
Didn't work for long.
I purchased 2 of these to run an outdoor fountain. The first one worked for about 2 months and then the unit quit. The second worked for about 9 months, and then quit also. The remotes work - the unit itself just stopped.

M-Audio Fast Track Pro 4x4 Mobile USB Audio/ MIDI Interface with Preamps
Not worth the trouble
Very disappointed with this one. I own the Firewire Solo, but needed something as a DJ interface with the ability to cue songs. Downloaded the latest driver from their site to go along with my Intel Mac (Leopard) and experienced all sorts of issues. Scrapped that driver and decided to go with the one in the box which didn't even read the preamp correctly and set it up as a 0 in/2 out. Scrapped tha

Skinny Bitch
Animal Rights Propaganda, Not A Health Book
It's a bait and switch. I thought I was buying a humorous health and nutrition book, but instead it was animal rights advocacy material. I have no problem with the animal rights movement, but the nature of this book should be made clear right from the start, on the front and back covers.

Apple MobileMe
i do not recommend... for now
I've been a fan of .Mac since 2003, and i rushed to try the new mobileme service, but, for my surprise, something went wrong with the migration from .Mac to mobileme and i'm unable to access my .me email for 7 days now.
I use mobileme as my main working address and been without email for 7 days has really hurt my work as a professional. Apple state that the service will be up and runn

Goodnight Bush: A Parody
offensive
Having read Goodnight Moon and dozens of Margaret Wise Brown's wonderfully gentle stories to my kids, I find it offense that the 'authors' of this junk book would use her classic as yet another way of disrespecting the president of our country. She must be rolling over in her grave. I gave it one star because I had to. -5 would be more like it.

The Prestige
So boring I actually decided to go to bed
I rented this movie on pay per view and it was so boring I decided I'd rather waste $6 than $6 and 2 hours of my life. I decided to turn it off and go to bed early about half way through. As much as I like Jackman and really wanted to like this movie, I just couldn't bring myself to care about any of the characters, nor about the plot, nor enjoy the visual experience of the movie. It was a complet

AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker
Sorry, but all this produced for me was an inferio
Well, despite the legions of disciples besotted by this product, I didn't like the Aeropress. I bought one with the highest of hopes for a quick, smooth single-serve cup of coffee, with minimal cleanup. What I got was a month of tweaking coffee amounts, steep and press times, and water temperatures, none of which yielded a decent cup. The vaunted silky smoothness of the Aeropress cup landed on

Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Baby Diapers, Stage 4 (22-37 Lbs.), Case of 120
What the....?
I just got my second shipment of stage 1 for my two month old. This is a different diaper. It is thinner, the tabs are no longer elaticized so it isn't flexible when she wiggles, and it is cut crooked- meaning the whole thing appears to have been run through the diaper-making-machine unevenly so it looks sloppy when it's on. In addition to this, it is more expensive! I have a whole case-full to

Jawbone Bluetooth Headset with NoiseAssassin-Black (Jawbone II)
Too quirky; perfect fit is essential; so light it
I bought the Jawbone right when the first model came out. It had its problems (ear pieces broke easily but Aliph sent me a second set free.) Once I got it adjusted, it worked great. Much better than any headset I had tried. The Jawbone II came out about the time my Jawbone I got wet in a downpour and was ruined (my bad). The Jawbone II was so light I could not feel it on my ear. I was never su

Godzilla Unleashed
Atari resorted to lying
Pay no attention to Atari's ad about the game. It says that it has new monsters when in fact it only has one new monster for the PS2. The new monster is of course just a different skin of Orga, same moves and everything. I want to get my money back from Atari for false advertising the game. I had to do deep research to find out that the game had the same monsters as "Godzilla, save the earth."

Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player (Brown)
Zune 30gb Doesn't Cut It
I gave my wife the Zune 30gb mp3 player as a birthday gift. It was a bad choice right out of the box. The skimpy setup pamphlet actually says, "It's as easy as 1, 2, 3" to get started. Just insert the set up CD, follow the prompts. Well, the prompts never came and the unit wasn't set up. We looked for more detailed instructions in Help, looked online, looked in the box to see if anything was missi

Debbie Meyer Green Bags
BUYER BEWARE!
When I learned how they work, I thought, "Won't the ethylene gas the produce give off get trapped in the bag? How will they stay fresher longer, then?"
Bur I decided to give them a try anyway. I mean, they have to work or they wouldn't sell, right?
Well, BUYER BEWARE! The fruit did stay looking pretty much longer than it's original shelf life, but when I opened up the f

Linksys WRT610N Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router
Faulty Router: Dual Wireless Drops Out Constantly
Having gone through two WRT610N routers in two days, I can confirm this router is faulty and not ready for real-world use. I tested it in an environment with new MacBook Pros (gigabit ethernet and wireless N capability) and Windows PCs, and the wireless signal drops out constantly requiring me to reboot the router. At one point, after rebooting the router, it reset all of its settings to factory d

Logitech ClearChat Comfort USB Headset
Cheap construction - be very careful or stay away!
Like other reviewers have noted, the USB connection is not robust. Mine was destroyed within 1 week, after an accidental light tug that a normal 3.5mm plug would have survived.
I was satisfied with all aspects of the headset until this happened. So if you're very careful and won't accidentally tug the chord, they are still a good choice.

Canon Pixma MX850 Office All-In-One Printer (2436B002)
Do not purchase this printer!!
After only a few months of light use, constantly having trouble with printer recognizing ink cartridges. Worse of all, even if one of the six cartridges does not "register" properly with the printer, the printer is locked in an error mode and cannot print even in B & W. Do yourself a favor, look at one of the other brands!

Very Little Thunder
False Advertising. There is barely any thunder. If I counted correctly, thunder can be heard a total of three times. The CD should be retitled "Sounds of the Sea (with a Rumble of Thunder Every Twenty Minutes)." I already own a Sounds of the Sea CD, so this purchase was a complete waste of money.
