Worthless!

Link Depot LD-MSD-XD Micro SD to xD Card Adaptor
Link Depot LD-MSD-XD Micro SD to xD Card Adaptor

Pros: None

Cons: This item is useless since it isn't the correct shape to fit any sort of XD card reader! Why they even made or sold this product I don't know.

Worthless Junk! Got 3 Bad Ones In A Row

Manufacturer Recertified OCZ Vertex Plus 2.5" 30GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-1VTXPL30G.RF
Manufacturer Recertified OCZ Vertex Plus 2.5" 30GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-1VTXPL30G.RF

Pros: None, these are all bad drives from OCZ that were returned then shipped to Newegg to sell to unsuspecting customers!

Cons: These are all bad drives that were returned to OCZ by customers then either sold to Newegg or someone from Newegg got them out of the dumpster behind the building and took them for resale. Nothing is done to fix them so you aren't going to get a good one and when you return it they will just send you another bad one!

Overall Review: I purchased 2 of these from Newegg. One was OK but the second one was dead. I returned it and got a replacement that looked like it had been overheated with the label wrinkled up but it was sealed up in the thick factory plastic package. It seemed slow and only worked for 1 day! I sent that one back and got another replacement that was dead out of the package. It looked old and had some residue on one side where something had been stuck on it then removed. I sent back the third one but they refused to replace it again and just sent it back! They are crooks selling junk! Do not buy any drives from them!

Junk!

(Upgraded Version) TaoTronics TT-OA01 Amplified HD Digital Outdoor HDTV Antenna with Motorized 360 Degree Rotation, UHF/VHF/FM Radio with Infrared Remote Control
(Upgraded Version) TaoTronics TT-OA01 Amplified HD Digital Outdoor HDTV Antenna with Motorized 360 Degree Rotation, UHF/VHF/FM Radio with Infrared Remote Control

Pros: None except small size.

Cons: These are cheaply made of plastic, the motor drive didn't work and it doesn't pick up any signal indoors. It works fairly well outside but I wouldn't recommend putting it outside due to the cheap plastic construction. I don't think it's waterproof either.

Overall Review: Get a rabbit ears at the Dollar store and it will be better than this!

Not Reliable

Patriot Torqx 2 2.5" 256GB SATA II Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) PT2256GS25SSDR
Patriot Torqx 2 2.5" 256GB SATA II Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) PT2256GS25SSDR

Pros: Very fast as long as it works, which may not be very long.

Cons: Don't waste your money, they don't last long. The first one I got worked great for 6 weeks then totally died. I got it replaced under warranty and the second one lasted just 1 1/2 days then got so slow it wouldn't boot anymore. Switched back to my old 1Tb WD drive and it runs great!

Overall Review: The AS SSD performance test gave results of just 16,18 and 44 instead of what you expect. I used SSDLife to check the first drive which said it had a life expectency of about 7 yrs but it says it can't give any information on this drive. That seems odd.

Works Great Except For Remote

Sceptre 40" 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV
Sceptre 40" 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV

Pros: The picture is very good, the tuner is very sensitive and can get all the Phoenix and Tucson stations, has 4 HDMI inputs so no external switch is necessary. Also it knows to jump to 5-1 if you just put in 5 unlike other sets that make you enter 5-1 or else you get a lot of snow and loud hiss.

Cons: Sound is not too good due to the little speakers but it has digital out for connecting to an external sound system. The remote is nearly worthless and has to be aimed directly at the lower right corner of the unit or it won't work.

Overall Review: I thought remote controls would have been perfected by now but I guess not.
