Well, the Wii is a good console, but the motion controls work poorly and the games are for 3 year olds. Kirby’s Epic YARN?!?!?!?! Get a PS3 unless your 2. If you want motion controls, wait for the sony move.

This book asks us to take full responsiblity for our lives. FULL responsibilty. This is a good thing.
Das Netbook mit Linux

Okay, we all know the good things the iPod Touch has to offer, and those reasons are why I am BARELY holding on to the thing. I am still considering taking it back. Here’s why:

1) Speaker quality is ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS. The speaker is simply not functional, unless you are in perhaps a recording studio. When you turn it up all the way (because you can’t hear it) it becomes fuzzy, sounding like a blown speaker. What is this thing, the size of a flea? And if there is ANY background noise, you cannot hear it at all with the volume up (in case you’re wondering, no, the speaker did not fail. I exchanged the iPod, and the second one sounded the same: really bad). I can’t share videos, share music, share anything, unless my friends and I are in a wine cellar.

I’ve heard excuses for the speaker’s embarrassing quality, including “it’s a small device”. My cheap Samsung cell phone’s speaker is 4x better than the iPod Touch, and the phone is smaller. The other excuse I’ve heard is “The speaker was designed for game play.” Wait, what? That’s not a valid excuse, because the IPOD is a MUSIC device. And that aside, what if I wanted my friends to hear the game play? For example, like 2 player Tap Tap Revolution 3 is unplayable, unless you are in a quiet room.

2) Price: Let’s face it, this thing is too expensive, as are EVERY SINGLE ONE OF APPLE’S PRODUCTS. Sure, they are “Designed in California”, but they are MADE IN CHINA, just like everything else.

3) Microphone: WHY IS THERE NOT A MICROPHONE ON THIS THING? “It doesn’t need one” is the response I always get. I mean, just, why not have one? They are cheap, and the iPhone has one. Why have the “Voice Memo” option when I have to plug in the headphones to use it? Often I am not using the headphones: I am using the iPod for wifi, or using it in the car, and I would like to record a voice memo. I would also like to use it for recording scratch guitar riffs and song ideas. And WHY should I have to plug in the headphones f

I would recommend to everyone I know to buy the Kindle 2 now!!!! I have been reading more and more. Books that I would never have picked up at the store or the library. I love love love my Kindle!!!!
Degunking Linux

I am quite glad I purchased the Omron Pedimeter. It seems to be quite accurate. And best of all it encourages me to take more steps. For instance: when I read it and it says ‘550′ steps, I say to myself let’s take it to 600 (and so forth throughout the day adding lots of extra steps that I wouldn’t have done without it). And that is very easy to do, and when I’m waiting for my toast to come up (or whatever) I walk in place, adding more steps and making good use of the time.
Before I bought it, I read the reviews and quite a few people mentioned how they lost theirs, and that it should have a leash. So I also bought a leash at the same time, which I didn’t need. Because it now comes with one so you won’t need to buy a leash.
LINUX System Administration Certification

I recently ordered this scale to replace my 20 year old spring scale and am very disappointed with it’s accuracy. Although my bathroom is only 8 square feet, I get 3 different readings as I move the scale around to different places on the floor. The readings vary by about 5 lbs! I am hoping the lowest one is the most accurate, but I really don’t know.

I purchased a book which was listed “new condition”. The book had stains all over the cover and there were many, many hi-lited areas in red marker throughout the book. I’m very disappointed!
