I personally like Nintendo over its competition. Because of the franchises, and the fact that the failure rate for theirs systems are basically non existant.
I still have my NES, SNES, N64 and Gamecube in working condition. I know friend who are on their 2nd or 3rd PS3, and a friend in particular who has had 5 XBOX 360s.

I love nintendo franchises, especially Zelda, Mario and Metroid. But almost every Nintendo franchise it great and fun.

The wii is great, and I love it. I wouldn’t trade it for the other systems combined.

Althought the picture doesn’t show it, this unit does come with a heart rate monitor. Not good for hiking as the GPS is not designed for that purpose.

This was a pleasant surprise for me a few years back when this came out. I had always been a fan of Victor Wooten, and I love Fretless bass, so when I got this introduction to Steve Bailey, I was blown AWAY! Anyone who does not think that you can make music with one drummer and two bass players, you are sorely mistaken. The songs are all catchy and groove hard with great improvisation displayed throughout the work. In addition to the awesome DVD, there are moments in between the tracks where Victor and Steve explain their approach and techniques in doing these tracks. This was done at a time when the two had just started working together, and now after this many years, I would love to see a Bass Extremes, The Return. It is long overdue!

I’ve put this Immersion Hand Blender to the test with several soups and it has performed beautifully each time. I would caution that the blades are very sharp and so to be careful who you let use it, but otherwise it’s a great product.

Honest questions have followed humanity throughout the ages and religions have attempted to give good workable answers to them in order to satisfy man’s need for satisfaction when dealing with the kunundrums of life. Why do good people suffer? What if a person feels they are gay? What about sleeping with your “boyfriend” whom you know is your soul-mate?…and more. These are some of the questions that need to be addressed strongly, head on, and with a certain intellectual brutality. This book, unfortunately, simply spins out answers that could be construed as the result of the advent of the late sixties early seventies. The basic premise for such thinking is that truth is relative which means that ultimately there are no absolutes, which means truth is true for you and not necessarily for me. As long as we both don’t bother each other, it’s all good. Unfortunately, that is not the definition of truth, as a matter of fact, relativism in itself is an absolute statement thus negating it’s basic theory and premise. This book is downright dangerous because it will influence young minds to think incorrectly. All people would love to know God when it boils down to it. The question, of course, is “who is He” or even better “what is He”. This book does nothing to really address that either. Avoid this book if you want to avoid adding to your religious confusion. Know this: This book is antitheical to the Bible. The Bible is very clear about every topic discussed in this book, and since the Bible does claim to be the one and only truth, we have a problem and a challenge: both can’t be true. So I ask you, reader, which one is telling the truth? Seek God, ask Him to tell you Who He is, ask the Lord Jesus (and don’t throw out this review just because I said His name…come on, let’s give everybody a voice otherwise you are just displaying your fear and prejudice)to reveal Himself to you, and watch your life truly change. Otherwise you will be reading these type of books until yo

I bought this for my 10 year-old daughter and it is perfect for her. I would need the larger GB for myself, but for her, it’s great. Highly recommend.

Borrowed the smaller version of the FURminator from a friend and loved it! Went to look for it in a pet store and realized that they were VERY expensive so I checked on-line and found it at Amazon for a fraction of the price (80% off the retail price in the store!).
The FURminator is so much better than a regular dog brush…the fine comb gets under the top layer of fur to the undercoat and does a fabulous job of deshedding while not too abrasive to the dog’s skin. I’m not sure that it eliminates 90% of my dog’s shedding as the package suggests but it is nonetheless a worthwhile tool and glad I have one!

This is a good looking, well designed book. Perhaps this is due to it being a Cisco Press product that follows their standard format. But I was surprised at the lack of content.

It reads as if it was written by a professional author, not someone who knows Storage Area Networks from hands-on knowledge. The technical editorial staff should pick up the slack, but it appears they dropped the ball with this book.

Some parts just don’t make sense, and the book doesn’t explain why, for example, all “loops” depicted are in a “star” configuration. The reader is left guessing: is the drawing in error? Can I trust any other drawings in the book? Does Ms. Gupta think that “loop” in a fibre-channel context means something different than loop means in English? Is there something about the hub that makes the physical star configuration into a virtual loop?

Here is a typical paragraph that should have been meatier:”Fiber-optic cabling is definitely more expensive than copper-based cabling systems. However, because all the advantages they offer, the implementation of fiber-optic cables amply justifies the slightly higher cost of implementation.”

Yet later in the same chapter: “Fiber-optic cables are extremely expensive in comparison to copper cables and require special skills to handle.”

Are the cables “slightly higher cost” or “extremely expensive”? There is no meat to back up either assertion. This is not an isolated example.

I get the feeling that the author was getting paid by the word and used a lot of adjectives and adverbs (plus a bushel of “therefore”s) just to stretch the subject. This hurts the credibility of the author, in my eyes.

The book is reasonably readable, in part because of all the fluffy language, but also because the author is organized and articulate. But it is more like digesting fast food than a fulfilling meal. Needs more meat, Meeta.
