The purchase came with a 90 day warranty. Shortly after one month, the television began spontaneously turning off. I took the unit to an authorized repair shop as Philips directed. After 45 days and many phone calls, the repair shop returned the television and said it was fixed; however, when I brought the TV home, it was not fixed and I experienced the same problems. I contacted Philips and the repair shop immediately. Following another month of the repair shop waiting on Philips for direction (wondering if they should attempt a second repair or replace the unit) and many more phone calls, I was recently told by Philips that my warranty had expired and they would no longer fix the problem (even though the problem that occurred when it was under warranty was never fixed).When the TV works, it's nice. But I want to warn others about Philips customer service. I'll never buy from Philips again... Answer:
Negative

I was hesitant because most of us have heard the experiences of those with near or real death and then come back to tell about it. One day I picked up the book and starting skimming through it to the part where the death experience occurs, I couldn't put it down! its totally different than all the others I've heard about. In fact, once I finished the book I immediately started over from the very beginning. I bought this book to loan out to others and to re-read myself, it can be read in a few hours. Answer:
Positive

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Just say NO !!! Review: Unlike other "21 days" texts, this book is not a tutorial that you can follow in front of your terminal or workstation. Many of the examples don't work at all. Did anybody at the publisher actually go through the book to see if any of this stuff makes sense? Obviously not. The only thing you'll learn (and in less than 21 days I might add) is that this book is a waste of time and a source of frustration. The book is geared toward Oracle8 on Windows NT 4. If you're running NT 4, skip this book and try "Oracle8 & Windows NT Black Book". Now that's a good book. Answer:
Negative

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Story of Quants Made for the Non-Quants Review: This book is fairly well-written but is toned down to suit a mass audience. Of course, with such an approach, accuracy is sacrificed. However, this book was a decent read and it was not too dragging. It actually makes a quite boring discussion (at least for normal people) into something quite interesting. How can a quant book ever become a bestseller, right?! Well, I don't think that the book presents some of the finance concepts accurately. The discussion on market efficiency contained cherry-picked quotes, and does not truly present how the academe really views the theory of market efficiency. However, for the intended audience, this is clearly definitely not a big problem. Anyway, for those who want to read an interesting part of finance history and how financial derivatives got a bad name, you can benefit from reading this book. Answer:
