I got this product (8GB Touch, called “3rd Gen” though it’s really “2nd Gen) November 2009, and it worked great for 1/2 year. Apple then “upgraded” the operating system from OS3 to OS4 (a software upgrade that happened through iTunes), and now it goes much slower and crashes much more often. Apple does not provide a way to go back to the old operating system, and does not respond to requests for help.

Normally, when writing a book review, I’d start off by saying something good about it, stick all the Debby Downer stuff in the middle, and then finish it off with another round of positivity. But now, thanks to Twilight, this pleasant writing routine I had allowed myself to fall into must be set aside. There is absolutely nothing good I can possibly say about this book. Nothing. So, I guess I get to skip to the moaning, ranting, and griping…

So, story plot in a nutshell: Some average girl goes to a new school, meets a hot guy, who turns out to be (gasp!) a vampire. She falls hopelessly in love with Hot Vampire Guy, and, oddly enough, he falls hopelessly in love with her. But there’s a ‘bad vampire’ after Average Girl (apparently Hot Vampire Guy is classified as a ‘good vampire’) who wants to eat her (this guy is my favorite character). So, Hot Vampire Guy must risk all to save her. Complications inevitably ensue. Hot Vampire Guy wins, and he and Average Girl ride off into the sunset together. The end. On with the criticism…

Let’s start with the protagonist: Bella. Bella is clumsy, bad at sports, and is constantly in danger of bodily harm. She is the quintessential damsel-in-perpetual-distress. Her awkwardness makes her easy to relate to, but other than that, Bella is practically nonexistent. She’s really just a prop–a flowerpot, or a decorative garden gnome– dumped in the middle of the story by the author just so Edward has something to obsess over. She has almost no personality–she’s as boring as a pet rock. Edward’s pet rock, to be precise. The only persona we can really assign to her is that of a whiney, snivelling, brat-faced little kid. She spends the entire novel moaning about how bad she is at sports, obsessing over how gorgeous Edward is, and generally wallowing in her own teenage angst.

Now for Edward… Let’s face it, girls, we are NEVER going to find an Edward Cullen. Anywhere. He’s perfect. He even sparkles. Seriously. In bright sunlight, ou

As the title says, I am very disappointed with Amazon.com. I routinely shop with confidence at amazon.com knowing that I can trust them to deliver what I order. This was not the case with this purchase.

My daughter recently entered a post graduate editing program at UW and required Microsoft Word, so I bought her Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007 via Amazon.com. The product was advertised as a CD-ROM version of the software, however, that is not what I received. A few days later, I received a FedEx envelope from Ruckus Enterprises. The envelope contained a sheet of paper with download instructions for Microsoft Office and a 25-digit Product Code (license). I was disappointed and confused about not receiving the packaged software, but time was of the essence and my daughter needed to edit papers in Word. So, I forwarded her the information and asked her to download, install, and activate the product according to the instructions on the sheet.

Immediate;y there were problems with activation. The product would not activate over the Internet and she had to call Microsoft directly. The product would still not activate and she was allowed 15 uses of the product before it became permanently unusable. To help her out, I made a housecall to see what I could do with the software. I uninstalled and re-installed the software twice and attempted activation three times. All attempts failed and then I noticed something odd–the product’s title on hte header bar said, “Microsoft Word Non-cmmercial version.” The Microsft activation representative said that we may be victims of software piracy and the we should contact the vendor for resolution. I could not find any contact information for ruckus Enterprises, so I contacted Amazon.com directly.

Amazon was nice, but simply directed me to email Ruckus Enterprises and then wait up to three days for an answer. It is now day two and no reply from Ruckus Enterprises. I will give them one more day as instructed by Amaz

I have been using more than a year now – connected between a laptop and HDTV. The resolution is much much greater than a S-video cable that I have using before. It didn’t cause any problem so far. A couple of times, I didn’t get the sound but it came back later. And, I am not sure whether the problem was in the computer or the cable. Anyway, it is really reliable and I am very satisfied by the product. Besides, when I transfer the signal from my laptop to the HDTV, I don’t have to reset the resolution of the display anymore – it automatically happens. Awesome!

and so far it’s working fine. Tripp Lite makes a great product, and this is no exception. It was a great price and it’s a well built product. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something with no bells and whistles.
Tripp Lite TLP808 8

Total junk. On the second use it sucked in a string and in a few seconds ruined the beater bar. The “bearings” on the ends of the beater bar, well there aren’t any. It is just plastic. I couldn’t believe how quickly it burnt out the unit. Don’t buy this unit!! Can I give it zero stars? That’s what it deserves.

My Kindle is far and away the best gift I purchased for myself in a long time…

Highly recommend it to people who are on the go and wish that they had more time to read…

purchased this when i broke my wrist and had to start running to keep in shape. i hate running, but this watch really gives me inspiration to go put some miles on my feet. i like knowing how far i’ve run, and what my pace is. the real fun starts when i go home and download my workout onto my computer. so much information to cull over. highly recommended if you walk/run or even bike.

I am a student and I needed Office to write papers and do assignments for my classes. It is so easy to use and I am so glad that I bought it. It is such an upgrade from Office 2003 with many more features and the look is much better, which makes it better to use.
