Samsung LN46A550 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
Where's the HD?
I purchased this tv when my old Westinghouse LVM 42-w2 failed on me. The Westinghouse was a GREAT tv, with a crystal clear picture. I purchased a warranty through Best Buy when I originally purchased the set, and they gave me a refund when it went bad to apply to a new tv. I picked this model really at random - I didn't do the oodles of research I did on the Westy, trusting that it would be goo

Pepsi-Cola Women's Loungewear Set
Very bad sizing!
This product is very badly sized. I ordered a large set, as that was the biggest size they had when I placed my order, and the shirt is VERY small.

Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Two-Disc Special Collector's Ed
Gorgeous - but disappointing storytelling
The desaturated Gothic graphics are stunning. Which they should be, since Tim Burton's been honing his ability to portray them for fifteen years. Perhaps he should try sepia tones instead of desaturation for his next film.
The performances were good - but there were two tragic flaws that kept this from being a good film. The first was the plotting. Although this is supposedly a st

Microsoft Natural Ergo Keyboard 4000
N key is wonky (a common complaint)
It has been widely reported and I will confirm: The N key is wider than the other keys (to fill in space) and the mechanical trigger for the key is in the center rather than towards the right where you typically hit the key. This means that half the time you press the N key and you get nothing. This is especially annoying for me as I'm just learning to touch type. I have had it for 9 months now

Starship Troopers 3: Marauder is not as good as the original but much better than the 2nd movie. I loved the book, and enjoyed the first movie but didn't enjoy the 2nd. The third one wasn't all that good, but wasn't a waste of time.

Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue SR8025 Signature Stainless Steel Skewers, Set o
Skewer Review
While there is no doubt that this is a quality item, I found them to be much too long and unwieldy. They are huge and would only work well on the largest of grills.
I also found them to be difficult to skewer anything with. They are very wide (I know there are narrower ones) but any vegetable I tried to put on them (onions, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers) split almost every time no

JJ Cole Essentials Blanket - Chocolate/ Pink
Gray/Green Color Option Does Not Have Gray Colors
If the colors are important to you, note that the Gray/Green color blanket, contrary to the zoom image, does not actually have any true gray fabric colors in it. The photos are so off it's perplexing, let alone misleading. The solid outer fabric color is practically army green. For the inside lining, the darker stripes aren't dark gray in color, but chocolate brown and the lighter gray stripes are

Tiffen 67mm UV Protection Filter
Review
I am not particularly happy with this CPL. It is unable to handle flares if the sun is atleast 45degrees to the lens and there is some sunlight on the filter. My previous filters did not have this problem. Have to be really very careful when using this filter otherwise it would ruin your shot.

There Will Be Blood (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)
There Will Be Bad Music
This was a fantasy film, as with most Daniel Day-Lewis films. However, at times I nearly had to turn off the sound because I found the music score was the worst I had ever heard. That would include ALL Ed Wood films and the music of The New World. Not sure what the music director was trying to accomplish, it did NOT work.

Dragonlance - Dragons Of The Autumn Twilight

If you're a DL fan you're gonna be disappointed. You'll wonder, "Why did they bother?" I mean, heaven help us if they do Legends!
I admire them for trying, but it really doesn't work. I can't imagine anyone watching this more than a couple times, then just putting it aside. Or selling it. Or trading it for a decent animation by M

Olympus Stylus 710 7.1MP Ultra Slim Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)
Buyer beware of the 5f 08 5e 02 lens problem!!
I purchased the Olympus Stylus 710 brand new in 2006. During the 2 years that I have owned it, it has proven to be a fairly dependable camera. General performance was good although the indoor shots (with flash) and outdoor action shots (i.e. kids playing soccer) could have been better. For some reason, any indoor shot with flash that involves the zoom always ends up dark and blurry, so it's pretty

Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance
A racist book
Obviously, I only bought and read the book, because Mr. Obama is in the race to become the next President.
The book is easy reading, the story he tells is interesting enough so you will not put the book away because you are bored. The father he searches for was a gifted man, who wasted his gifts, became an alcoholic and an abuse, yet is Mr. Obama's eyes, he had one redeeming quality -

Franklin HW-1216 Children's Speller and Dictionary
Lid Broke Off Day One!
I did my homework on this one. I read the previous post about the lid being flimsy, so I was very careful when I recieved the item and snapped the lid on. It went on, then once it was opened the lid came right off, so I snapped it back on and noticed the little plastic piece that holds the lid on was snapped off. Mind you there are only 2 little plastic knobs for the lid, one on each side. If

Belkin Neoprene Sports Armband for iPod nano 3G (Black/ Gray)
Small arms only!
I really like the design. It's lightweight, and the Neoprene doesn't get drenched with sweat. But the armband is rather small. I'm a pretty average 5'8" man, and nobody is ever gonna confuse me with Hulk Hogan, but the armband was too tight for me. I ended up buying the TuneBand instead. It's not as fancy, but it fits much better.
One other bummer about the Belkin -- there is no

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6
Grey background and white text are hard to read.
I own Photoshop CS and Elements 5, and I recently purchased Elements 6. I was very disapointed to see that in Elements 6, they have changed to a grey background with white text. This is much more dificult to read than the previous versions and causes eye strain. Not all of us are young with 20/20 vision. I think this is one of the worst mistakes Adobe has made, they obviously did not look into thi

The Litter Robot is a great idea and perfect for us lazy Americans (yes me too) who want the unconditional love of a pet but are too lazy to clean up after them. My cats were terrified of the Litter Robot. I was surprised how large and scary-looking the device is when I took it out of the package. I followed the instructions to get my cats used to the device and never turned it on to keep them

Sling Media Slingbox SOLO (SB260-100)

So, maybe this was obvious to other buyers, but it was not to me. While this product is marketed as an "HD" Slingbox, this only means that you can connect video to it via HD Component Cables (not HDMI). The actual video that the Slingbox outputs always has the same maximum resolution of 640x480 (otherwise known as 480i or "standard definition").
