TurboTax Deluxe Federal + State 2007 thumbnail

This is an addition to what I had originally posted below. Bob Meighan, a VP from Intuit (creator of Turbotax) has pointed out that the feature described below in my original review is STILL available in Turbotax Deluxe; their marketing (Web Site) did not provide that information. Bob has stated, and I have verified, that […]

Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor

Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor thumbnail

Being a person who hasn’t ever joined a gym, I never knew stuff like this existed. I was very interested in this item because I’ve been walking for exercise but wasn’t really sure I was reaching my target heart rate consistently.
The monitor, which displays the time as well as your heart rate on a watch, […]

With this unit, Garmin has blown TomTom out of the water. The 350/360 were slick units but arguably came up a bit short in the display department when compared to the TomTom - that’s all a distant memory now.
This is the most elegant AIO (all in one) GPS navigation solution I’ve come across to date. […]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

During the past year, Nintendo really showed what it takes with the success of the Wii. Dominant games like The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess and the definitive Super Mario Galaxy, really proved the Wii with its ultimate gameplay. But, that success has also been as a dominant question with Super Smash Brothers Brawl. While […]

While Office 2003 offered a refreshed look and some improvements in functionality, the basic structure remained the same. While veteran users were able to easily navigate the familiar menus, it had become increasingly difficult to locate some features (for instance, in Word, would you find “insert new rows” to a table in the “insert” or […]

this is my second invicta automatic.
i got the almost-identical goldtone version, then got this for sports/outdoors stuff the other one was too ‘nice’ for.
comes as advertised, with signature leather yellow box. looks better on your wrist than in the ad. for around $100, plus a gift umbrella, it’s an excellent deal. i’d recommend this as […]

Logitech Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote Control

I’m not entirely sure this would be the end-all-be-all of remotes, but it sure comes close. I suspect if I spent $1,000 or more on a Pronto, I’d be a little more decisive, but the Harmony is still an excellent middle-range remote.
Set up was quick and painless. The Harmony knew about all my devices, so […]

The Nintendo Wii is the most inexpensive of the current generation of gaming consoles. It provides motion sensing controllers and 480p graphics. We tested the Wii before its launch day (I’m a game reviewer), and we had our own unit in our home the morning of launch day. Here are our findings.
The Wii is designed […]
