iPhone Review, Part 1 of 3 iPhone Review, Part 2 of 3 iPhone Review, Part 3 of 3 I’ve had my iPhone for 2 weeks or so, and while it’s a really nice device, if I were not a mobile-media guy I would strongly suggest a BlackBerry Curve to you or even a Pearl if you aren’t [...]

Sunday, February 24, 2008
A friend this week had her laptop give her the dreaded blue screen every time she booted. After a trip to the Theif Geek Squad who told her if would be $1500+ to recover the data from the drive, I gave SpinRite a try first. I booted to the disk and ran a [...]

Friday, February 15, 2008
The reason Apple and Mac OS X are so famous is only because Microsoft exists. … don’t skip past that first sentence… it really sums up the rest of this review and explains to you, at so many levels. Let me say it another way: People like Apple products and Mac OS X, because Microsoft set a [...]

Thursday, January 31, 2008
Summary [8.5 out of 10] Rambo is a visceral, serious, action packed movie about the rescue of Christian missionaries from war-torn Burma and it’s military. Stallone’s execution of this movie is so raw and completely devoid of cheesy lines or “typical action hero” antics that you can’t help but walk out of the theater with respect for [...]

Tuesday, January 29, 2008
Summary [7 out of 10] Shoot ‘Em Up is a ridiculously paced, non-stop action movie that is a collection of surprisingly cohesive scenes that provide excuses for the director to realize constant over-the-top action sequences that are a blast to watch ending with a great cheesy one-liner from the main character. Setup If you plan on watching this [...]

Monday, January 28, 2008
Summary [4 out of 10] Resident Evil: Extinction is a terrible, terrible movie. For fans of the games or even of the 1st or 2nd movie, just turn and walk the other way. Hidden deep in this script are literally 2 good ideas that get 3 mins of screen time, while the remaining 87 mins is garbage [...]

NOTE: I have tried to keep spoilers to a bear minimum (or not at all) in the main review. The “Areas of Improvement” section does contain spoilers and is marked as such. Summary [7.5 out of 10] Cloverfield is a suspenseful, well-paced, believably portrayed recounting of a group of friends during an epic monster attack on Manhattan. [...]

Monday, January 14, 2008
Grant Gochnauer, co-founder of Vodori, was kind enough to send in a review of a new addition to his family: The Dell 3008 WFP (yes, the $2000 30″ Dell LCD that has the amazing 117% color gamut). Above is a shot of the 3008 sitting next to an old school Dell 2001FP (20″ LCD), because of [...]

Wednesday, January 2, 2008
Blu-ray Profile 1.1 players have bee available since November 2007, but there were no Profile 1.1 discs. Resident Evil: Extinction has the honor of being the first Blu-Ray Profile 1.1 disc to be released. What do you get when you combine a Profile 1.1 player with a Profile 1.1 disc, and should you care? Lions, Tigers, [...]

Monday, December 17, 2007
Vongo is an online, on demand video download service. The thought of not having late fees, not having to leave the house, or for that matter leave the couch to rent a movie it quite enticing. So after seeing the a Vongo ad on TV, I decided to give them a try. They advertise [...]
