Review title: No noticable effect Product review: I got two of these, one for an XPS M1330 and one for an XPS M1730. I have the temperature censor running all the time and I have to say the mats don't really have a noticeable effect on the temperature. They are also quite plastic-y and cheap looking.I've given 2 stars purely because it keep my legs cooler (as it acts as a spacer).It probably works better on ultra-portable laptops which have low cooling ability and usually run very hot (like the X1).

Review title: a summarizing and very good collection of the Human League hits Product review: I was looking for a Human League collection with all their 80's-mainstream hits, including Philip Oakey's hit with Giorgio Moroder, "Together In Electric Dreams", and also their 2 hits from the mid 90's album, "Tell Me When" & "One Man In My Heart". you'll be surprised, but this is the only collection (from what I found) that has all these songs together in one collection. but to my surprise (and dissapointment), I discovered that the version of "One Man In My Heart" is not the single version, but with some sort of Reggae mix. on the other hand, it does have a few of the early Human League hits, that are something quite different from their hits, but are quite good as well.

Review title: Did anybody else notice there isn't a really a plot? Product review: This is a quite lengthy series. To start out with the one thing I liked is how things from one book or cousins story overflowed to another cousins story. However, when reading it, in general, I believe that the book could have been 20 pages long just the same as 500+. The Dovan Legacy is very wordy and most of it doesn't have a real place in the book. The book COMPLETELY revolves around the "supernatural" powers the cousins possess, while trying to depict them as normal. When I finished the book I got really mad because I had wasted so much time reading it. To top off my disappointment when I analyzed what I had read, it occurred to me that it doesn't have a plot. Instead of this book try Danielle Steel's "Star."

Review title: Boring and Implausible -- not one of his better works Product review: I came very close to dropping this book midway through. It is quite some way into the book before anything remotely interesting happens, and even when the plot begins to move it is fairly prosaic, along with being completely implausible (and I don't mean the sci-fi elements are implausible -- I mean the more mundane aspects of the plot such as the unrealistic course of governmental intervention, superficial invovlement of business entities, complete lack of normal precautions taken by the characters at some points, etc).McDevitt's books are not, in my experience, generally this poor. I rather liked Chindi. Perhaps he has gotten better as time goes on -- "Ancient Shores" is fairly old now.
