Review title: Excelent product Product review: I have owned Alpine estereos before. In fact, I have one in my car that has been working every day for about seven years with an excelent sound. My only complaint is that even the product I bought was a new one, the packaging of it wasn't new, it had been opened and wasn't complete.

Review title: Don't Do "Dawn" Product review: Miserable Blu Ray release of a great movie. The picture is cropped from its original aspect ratio, the sound is sub-par, and the picture quality is all over the map. There are moments when the picture is stellar, especially during the beginning moments of the film in the outdoors. Colors pop and the picture is crisp and clear, but then it will suddenly change to something comparable to VHS.Extras? Forget it! Nothing...zero...zilch.It's a shame that one of Miramax's best titles wound up in the hands of this company, who produced such a horribly shoddy transfer of this film. Skip it and stick with your DVD.

Product review: Couldn't wait to receive this tome of video nuggets, but the first movie I looked up, one of my favorites, had a short, lame, synopsis that didn't even touch one iota on the uniqueness, humor or twists involved in the plot. (It's a cult classic, Rustler's Rhapsody, with Tom Berenger and Andy Griffith; hilarious). It is more than obvious that the editor and staff didn't see the movie, nor talked to anyone that had. Guess I'll relegate it to the use as a door-stop or grandchild booster at the dinner table. There are worse fates, I guess.

Review title: Please, don't use this book Product review: What a useless, unhelpful, jumbled mess. I spent probably a good couple hundred hours staring in agony at this book for my Waves & Optics course, hoping that it could fill in the gaps where my even less competent professor had said little. Unlike every textbook that I've used previously in my career as a student since elementary school, you *cannot* learn the concepts from this book if you just bring a certain amount of intelligence and enough time to it. There's simply not enough explanation in this book to do it. I spent hours on the problems and yet learned nothing from them, because they were a test of my mathematical derivation skills and not of any concepts explained and taught in the book. If you already are familiar with the subject matter of this book, it may appear to be adequate, but it's terribly insufficient, making huge leaps and jumps and omissions that leave the reader seeking alternate sources of explanation. Avoid this book like the plague.
