Where's Waldo Costume Set Adult Small/Medium
Where's Waldo Costume Set Adult Small/Medium

Pros: Great costume. I'm sure it would have gotten loads of laughs.

Cons: Problem is, after opening the box, I couldn't find this costume anywhere. I looked for about 30 minutes, before I finally found it. It's real easy to lose track of.

Overall Review: I ended up drawing a circle around this costume so that I could more easily find it in the future.

Keurig B60 Black Special Edition Brewer With K-Cups
Keurig B60 Black Special Edition Brewer With K-Cups

Pros: Makes a quick cup of coffee. Good variety. Stupidly simple. Minimal waste. People claim that this "promotes waste", well I'd say it's about a wash. I don't waste 1/2 a pot anymore when my spouse wakes up and decides she doesn't want any coffee after I already made a full pot. Or when I forget I brewed a pot and it goes to waste. Plus, there's always the reusable filter which generates virtually zero waste - no paper filter.

Cons: After a week+ of proper use, I'm happy to report that I'm a semi-happy customer, with only a slight discontent for having to go through so much trouble for this to work. I still reserve that I should not have to go through that much trouble for a machine that is so pricey. I'm not a coffee snob by any means, but the coffee that comes out of the disposable k-cups is light/medium at best. Still very drinkable to me. However, for a better cup, we opted to spend another $20 bill on the reusable k-cup. It allows you to use your own coffee, and definitely comes out stronger.

Overall Review: This is a rehash of a previous review. Got it to work without the plastic taste, after we decided to give it one more try. (Pro-tip: WHITE Vinegar, not "WHITE-RICE Vinegar"... *rolls eyes*) Some bunker-building gater-getters would have you believe that this makes you and the rest of America lazy. I find this not to be the case. Some people might have the luxury of time in which they can dedicate as much as they need to menial tasks. Other people actually work for a living so shaving time off of coffee making and a hand full of other tasks, can add up to a few more minutes spent working, or being with our families. Example: I text most of the time because I don't want to have a 5-10 minute conversation with everyone. It doesn't make me lazy. Also, I take the short route to work so it saves me time in the morning. This does not make me lazy, it makes me more efficient. Someone telling me that the "long way" is the only way, else I'm just lazy, is just plain ignorance.

I hate giving bad reviews...

Keurig B60 Black Special Edition Brewer With K-Cups
Keurig B60 Black Special Edition Brewer With K-Cups

Pros: Looks pretty, and makes a quick cup of coffee. K-Cups come in all sorts of flavors.

Cons: I bought this for my wife for Christmas. We had the plastic taste and everyone is talking about (Google: Keurig plastic taste). We descaled it with vinegar, soaked it in hot water & Dawn, ran countless reservoirs of water through, and still the plastic taste persisted. We contacted Keurig, and they told us to do what we had already done. We did it all again. It still had the plastic taste. We called back and they sent us out a new machine (came in 2 days). We did all the same steps over again with the new machine, and still the plastic taste. This is completely unacceptable out of a machine that retails at $150. I have never had this kind of issue with any product, ever (Guess I’ve been lucky). I am going to contact Newegg and find out the next step in returning this. I dislike giving a product 1 egg, because there's usually some sort of redeeming factor, but in this case, it's primary (and sole) function is severely flawed beyond use, so I have to give it an honest 1 egg.

Overall Review: As always: lightning fast shipping via Newegg standard shipping. I have heard tales of a Cuisinart that uses K-Cups and sprinkled around the web are people claiming to have switched to it after getting the plastic Keurig coffee with great results. It retails at $50 more, but I think I just might give it a try. I don’t know what I’m going to do until then, because I threw away my old coffee maker upon giving this to my wife. Don’t make that mistake, if you still decide to get this! Hang on to your old one until you’ve verified that your Keurig is good.

Good features

Canon PowerShot SX150 IS Red 14.1 MP 12X Optical Zoom 28mm Wide Angle Digital Camera

Pros: We really like the features offered, and quality of pictures from this camera. Has a lot of features that you'd normally see in an SLR.

Cons: Slight learning curve navigating the menu if you're not tech savvy.

Overall Review: Iron Egg is sweet. As always, super fast standard shipping. Ordered it Monday morning, was at the office Tuesday at 1:00PM.

Can't complain

Acer G235HAbd 23'' 5ms  1920x1080 WideScreen LCD monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1
Acer G235HAbd 23'' 5ms 1920x1080 WideScreen LCD monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1

Pros: Large, good price, nice colors right out of the box (though I'll probably toy around with them later). Does everything it advertises. 23" 1080p for $139? I feel like I owe somebody more money for some reason. Newegg and its' amazing shipping strikes again.

Cons: I have to get all new wallpapers to cycle through because my old resolution was so low.

Overall Review: Got this in the mail today after my 19" 4:3 Westinghouse finally crapped out on me. We decided to pick up this one since it was a great deal. Love it so far.

Acer Desktop PC AspireRevo AR1600-U910H Intel Atom 230 1GB DDR2 160GB HDD Windows XP Home
Acer Desktop PC AspireRevo AR1600-U910H Intel Atom 230 1GB DDR2 160GB HDD Windows XP Home

Pros: -The NVIDIA ION card is amazing. -HDMI out. -Lightweight -Plenty of input/outputs -eSata Does everything it promises and nothing it doesn't. I got this for a media center and I'm pretty impressed so far. Does everything I want it to. Has no problem decoding HD video. I would suggest a youTube search for "Acer Aspire Revo" and look at some of the reviews. They usually don't lie.

Cons: -Not a super fast machine, but that's not what this machine is meant for. If you buy this expecting a speed demon, you're in the wrong place. Buy this expecting a good little machine for a media center, or other HD video use. -Ports are on 3 of the 4 sides, which makes it awkward. However with such a small unit, internal space is limited for placement, so it's understandable. My unit is going to be out of sight so it doesn't matter to me. If you are going to have this in plain sight, just be aware that the imputs/outputs are on back, top and front. -160gb HDD wasn't a problem with me either because I took advantage of the eSata port and picked up a 1tb external. Otherwise it may pose a problem if you need more storage. -XP. I had to install Windows 7 right when I got it because some of my peripherals weren't compatible with XP. It's not a problem anymore, but kind of a hassle, especially since there's no CD/DVD drive. -BLOATWARE! I'm not going to go off... it speaks for its

Overall Review: BUY THIS! If you're looking for an awesome media center and sweet little video card for 1080p. DON'T BUY THIS! If you're looking for a super fast, mulitasking machine.
