Anti-Endorsements

Thought I'd start this topic so people can list the products they have purchased or used and have left them very dissatisfied. To warn others away from making the same purchases.

Here's my first and I know Tyson can testify to this as well.

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000:
Despite boasts of microsoft's "bluetrack" technology the main problem in this mouse lies the range that it operates at. apparently any further than inches away and you will start to see cursor jumping or get stuck. I know its intended as a laptop mouse, but i bought it looking for a mouse for my htpc. But tys uses it for his macbookpro and with the receiver merely on the left side of his laptop and mouse on the right side he was getting problems. Whether a mouse is marketed for "laptop" use i believe it should still be able to operate within at least 8' away, let alone 1'. Especially considering it's a mid-level mouse.

Ok, I'll throw in one:
The asian dvd's sold out of the booth outside of TNT in Metrotown, don't seem to play well (at least on my dvd player) despite being Region 1.

The fact that the house has 5+ TV's with only three tuners available with Optik..... and a Brother in Law that is on perma-download mode.

That would be my guess.

[nature boy]

perma-download mode shouldn't affect tv signal though would it?

[jeSteR]

It's shared bandwith.

whhaaaaat?
i thought cable and internet were two totally separate things... i know they travel on the same cable but i thought there was reserved portion for each.

that's lame man. hey guys, don't get telus optik tv, i hear it sucks.
