Computers Reviews

Norton Antivirus has to be one of the most overhyped products ever. I have used NAV 2005 and have had very little problems with it (except that it kept asking me to renew my subscription every 10 minutes. Even when I cliked the checkmark labled "do not display this again", it kept asking me anyway). When I instlled NAV 2006 on my computer, it gave me a series of error messages saying it couldn't find this or it couldn't find that or whatever (everything is on the CD, right? How can you not find the correct files? Did Norton forget to put some of the important files on the CD or something?) Anyway, I thought screw this and exited the intallation. Next thing I know, I couldn't access my control panel (or anything else for that matter) to completely uninstall it. I restarted it and my desktop disappeared. Nothing except my wallpaper. No icons, no start menu, nothing. It even found a way to stop explorer.exe from starting.

Even funnier is that their 800 number charges you $2.95 per minute (for a maximum of $300, of course). What's more is that they will continue to charge you even when they put you on hold.

Kind of ironic, actually. Installing Norton ANTIVIRUS (antivirus being the most important word here) caused my computer completely screw up. Way to go Mr.Norton.

I purchased a PC a few months ago (new), which had Norton preinstalled. I have never been crazy about the Norton antivirus, because it misses a lot. However, trying to get rid of it has been like a hundred-fold migraine. When I tried to uninstall via the control panel "remove programs" option, it comes up as "password protected", not allowing it to be uninstalled. I tried getting the uninstall tool off the Symantec website, but when I try to run it, it freezes up or crashes out. The really sick part is that you have to go through trial and error trying to find a good antivirus program that you can install, as many will not install unless you UNINSTALL Norton. Fortunately, I was able to install Panda, but others like BlackIce and Kapersky's will NOT install. Online support is worthless and as many others have stated, you get condescending attitude from their "technical support."

Others I know had their 2005 expire, couldn't get rid of it for the same reasons I stated above, gave up and decided to get the 2006 to avoid having their computers unprotected and guess what...?? They couldn't install the 2006 until they uninstalled the 2005.

When I think of Norton, I think of the old Bonzi Buddy malware..the tactics Symantec uses to almost force you to use their junky products is almost the same.

I had a problem with my subscription when i activated my software, the email responses were insulting and condesding. They will not respond to direct questions, and dont care about you satifaction. I dont recommend the use of this product.

Hooked it up to my photo printer and now I don't have to share cables with my other electronics. Hooked it up, it works great, and haven't given it a second thought. Exactly what I wanted.

When I first saw the price of this Belkin USB cable I thought there must be some mistake. USB 2.0, 10ft., and made by Belkin? For under $5 each?! NO WAY! But it was true. These cables are super fast, affordable and reliable. I have actually returned and bought multiple cables for friends, family and even work. You cannot go wrong here; when you purchase a device that needs a USB cable (i.e. printer or something) the stores try to get you to buy one for over $20! Why purchase it then when you can buy four of them for the same price? Buy 5 and get free ship!!

I bought this cable from Amazon because the cheapest 10 ft USB cable I could buy locally (Best Buy, CompUSA, Circuit City etc) was over $25. Thank god for Amazon!

I am satisfied with the capabilities of this product. The recorded video and captured picture are very clear. The webcam works well in lower or dim lighting. It works perfectly with Yahoo messenger.

It is great. I put it on one computer, and I loved the results. I put it on another one and I discovered that with an AMD processor, I had to do a little work. After making sure my DirectX was updated, it works fine. I highly recommend it.

This camera works excellent!
Good lighting does help boost the quality of the image. The built in microphone does a good job, for better quality sound use an external. The camera works great with Flash applications too.

This is amazing!

I often get disappointed when I order something online site unseen. I tend to end up having technical problems.

Amazon shipped it to me promptly, I plugged it into my Motorola Q mobile phone. I have suddenly removed the need for an IPOD. This 2Gb card is the best value for money. I have a lot of space for moview, videos and songs.

This is a great product, and you can get it, along with any other products on Amazon up to $500 Free! Participate in a special promotion and get a free $500 Amazon Gift Card at this web site: nocost4u.info/amazon

I used it on my sidekick 3, WORKS great!! ive got enough space to take 760 pictures t FUKLL quality while i still have about 260 songs !! the only thing thats wierd is that sometimes my playlists come out contarted but everything else works great!

Why settle for less, when you can get a brand new original iPod nano 4GB for Free! I got mine from this web site: nocost4u.info/ipod-nano

I love the iPod shuffle for keeping me company on my long walks, but I found the instruction book incomplete.
It's still a mystery on how to do operations like deletions in an efficient way. I guess they want you to go to an Apple store and talk to one of their "geniuses" to fully understand how to work the Shuffle.

Without dissecting every little feature let's get to the meat of things, shall we? If you can send an email you can use an ipod. Remembering to charge your cell phone is easy, so is charging your ipod. Battery life has been a non-issue, the thing gets recharged by your computer, very easy. Getting music from iTunes is easy, too.

This device is user friendly, reliable, and comes with everything you need to get started.

AWESOME ipod i got the black one for my birthday i can fit all my metal on it plus all thee other crap in my library. and fotos and Pit ov Humanity (novel i am writing) although the notes can only be so long. i would have given it 5 but the battery life is about half ov what it is billed for.
0h i have a joke

a woman is driving down the reno highway she sees a native american woman with her three kids walking up the shoulder. she asks if the woman wants a ride. they get in and the indian woman asks what the chocolates she sees on the floor are for and the driver says they are for her husband and the indian says good trade.

if u thought this was funny then say it was helpfull.

i bought this thing for my girlfriend....i gotta say that i was amazed by the sound quality....also, the ease of use is amazing as well...all that was needed was plugging the thing in and downloading i-tunes...the easiest piece of technology i have ever delt with...2GB is plenty big as well for the casual music listener....if you need a vast selection the 4GB should do the trick...oh yeah, and this thing is tiny, which makes it extremely easy to workout with and whatnot.

I would recommend getting a PDA screen protecting film to avoid scratches. Overall, I love my new iPod nano, and recommend you to buy one if you have the money. Or you can just get it Free like I did at this web site: nocost4u.info/ipod-nano

I purchased Scan Disk Memory Stick Pro Dua 1GB , for my Sony DSC-P200 7.1 MP camera and its working fine . It is compatiable with sony device without any issues .

I bought it for my Sony DSC W50 camera. Works very well.
USPS misplaced my order, but Amazon sent me a replacement immediately. Way to go ! Amazon rocks.

No matter what company you buy a memory stick from, whether it's Sony, SanDisk, etc), it's going to do the same thing: Save things on a piece of plastic! The SanDisk is cheap and does it's job. Get it!

Just returned from a three week vacation in France - which was the reason I ordered this card. It doesn't work - which left me and my family very diasppointed in France. No pix! In any event - we have tried to format it on 2 Olympus C50 cameras - both say card error - can't format. I would like to exchnage it for a good one. How to I proceed - this sale doesn't show up on my Amazon account.

This is not for posting

not sure what to say a memory card, it works. It came with a carrier that can hold six other memory cards, it was a nice surprise.

I purchased this card for use in an 8 megapixel digital camera. At full resolution my camera tells me that I can shoot 294 pictures on this card. At the next level down the quantity goes to 584 pictures. I thinks that's enough memories to capture per trip/event. As far as the "High Speed" rating goes, I can't really say I can tell any difference in performance from the "standard" speed card (64 MB).

The mouse itself is a great idea, but the battery life is horrible. I guess that is why you receive two batteries with this mouse; they resemble cheap cordless phone batteries.

I work from home, and can tell you the battery will not last through half a day of continuous use. I find myself having to switch batteries at the worst possible moments. - Sure it has a battery indicator, but it is covered by the palm of your hand.

So for what I paid, the previous Logitech MX Laser is a much better deal. The battery life on that mouse lasts almost 3 times as long as the two combined which come with the G7.

Pro's - Fast! Defenitly Gaming Grade, and I do alot of gaming...everything from TES: Oblivion, NFS: MW, to COD2...it works amazing in all games...and just for regular use...if you dont have this yet, you need it...sure its about 30 bucks more then an average good quality mouse, but its WAY worth it...and it fits perfectly in your hand. It has a back button for use on the Internet, and when your are in your computer folders. And the batterys last two-three days at a time, and thats when Im gaming...and it comes with TWO rechargeble batterys.Its just simply, amazing. And all you retards complaining about it lasting two-three days...How freaking lazy can you seriously be? I red like 5 or 6 reviews that knocked the review down to 2 or 3 stars just because, they dont wanna take 3 freaking secs to swap out a battery...they act like its harder then running two miles in 3 minutes...I got one thing to say...Whadufuxup?

Con's - None, that I've noticed so far, Ive had it for about a month and ahalf now...

After ordering non-OEM inks from several different places on the web (and having some problems with them), I discovered that Amazon sold OEM at great prices.

I went to my local office supply store and purchased a complete set of 5 inks for my Canon Pixma iP4000 at a cost of $75. Later that day I found them on Amazon at almost 1/2 the price!

Also, when it comes to OEM inks, I discovered that they seem to last almost 3 times as long as the generic and refilled versions.

Genuine Canon. Great price. Fast service. What's not to like?

I have tried inkgrabber and 123 inks, These "compatible" cartridges are not the same as the original Canon inks. They are very different and have different archival values and fade resistant values. Canon brand inks hold their color longer and are not as prone to fading by light, oxygen, or other gases that are known to cause fading. I own the Canon i9900 printer and it performs flawlessly with Canon inks.
Buy Genuine Canon for the kink of results Canon advertises for their printers. Amazon has had the best prices for genuine Canon inks.
