This is a really cute interactive toy for kids of all ages.  Just by touching the screen kids can learn new facts about the planets. They also have some trivia questions that kids can answer.  I have to point out that this type of toy is really for kids who enjoy learning about space and the planets.  If your kids are not very interested in science it may help them to learn, but ...

This is a light up human body model that is a greatt educational tool for kids who are in school. It it made by Scientific toys and is available on HSN.com. It can also be found at walmart in select States.  I really like the idea of being able to show kids exactly what they are learning about in school.  This toy is also a great resource for school teachers. What I rea...

This is such a cute computer for any kid who happens to be a fan of star wars.  They can play on the R2D2 computer and learn the alphabet and how to count.  It's very light weight so it is easy for your kids to carry around.  The price is great since it is only twenty dollars, and batteries are included.  I allow my children to take it along when we go on long car trips,...

We rent this box as part of our cable. This box gets overheated very quickly. It also has a very short lifespan. We have had this box for less than six months and already it needs to be replaced. It was working fine until the rewind feature went wacky. When we rewound live shows, the quality went down hill and we could see the squares and boxes of the picture. Now it is recording all shows this...

 I am really enjoying the Oregon Scientific Remote Thermo Clock.  I like it because when I want to know the temperature outside, I don't have to open the door to feel, I can just read this.  It also gives me the temperature inside my house.  The temperature reading is usually accurate, but can be off at times.  It may be just because of where I have the outside...

I have my HiSpeed internet DSL connection through Rogers Cable. I pay a monthly rental of $4.95 for the modem that also includes servicing and relpacement, if needed. A great thing about this modem is that it is very small in size. In comparison it is about half the size of a Linksys wired modem. Which is great because it doesn't take up a lot of room. It is black in colour with green statu...

I wasn't sure about getting a DVR, but once we had it in our home I was hooked!! I love being able to pause, rewind and fast forward live TV!! With kids in the same room it's sometimes hard to hear or see what is on the screen, so if you miss something you can always rewind and view it again!! Also, I hate commercials so I pause the screen for 10-15 minutes while I do somethin...

The Tilt-N-Turn alarm clock from Oregon Scientific is a unique clock in the sense that it has a swiveling head that can be moved around. The time, date, temperature and day are all viewed on a clear screen that stands and swivels on the base. The clock itself is all black and very small. The clock features temperature, AM/FM radio, dual alarm settings, year, date, and day. It is very easy to se...

I talked to my cable TV repairmen recently, whom claimed this modem is on its last legs. It is about 3 years old. He claimed they are making modems cheaper and with less longevity than years ago and my modem life is about average, I rated it slightly higher than average reliability since it hads not failed yet. The speed is nothing to right home to mother about. It has done a servicea...

Casio Fx-570ES is one of my useful items for ordinary computing up to scientific computing which involves trigonometric functions, logarithmic functions, integration, equations, points in graph, matrix and other functions. When I ‘am a freshman in Mapua I decided to buy a calculator that I can be use until I start working this why I decided to buy the Casio fx-570...

While I love my Tivo I absolutely hate the DVR that my cable company (Time Warner) supplies me with.  While Tivo has a lot of bells and whistles the Scientific Atlantic DVR is very basic.  The DVR will record what you tell it to (most of the time), you can pause live television, but the quality of the picture after where you have paused it is terrible.There are is no alphabetic search...

When we purchased our HD TV a few years ago we decided to upgrade our Time Warner Cable DVR to the HD DVR.  Having the HD DVR allows us to watch certain channels in high definition. The HD DVR always allows us to record two shows at one time while watching one of the shows recording.  There is a problem that we seem to encounter whenever we try and record shows in high definition. At ...

What little girl doesn't want their own laptop?  My daughters all love sitting next to dad while he's working on his computer.  We own several toy laptops, but I was able to pick this one up on sale so thought I'd give it a try.  The screen is tiny, but that is typical of all the toy laptops I have seen or purchased (that's why they cost $40 instead of $100+!)&nbs...

Today, the big thing is TIVO.  If you can afford it, it is probably the way to go.  for my family's purposes, Time Warner's DVR serves our needs.Maybe it is just because I am so use to Time Warner and have had such good service from them that I am happy with the DVR.  I know this is not the case for many people.I just know that the few people around here which do have TIV...

At the end of the day one of my favorite things to do is lay in bed and watch my favorite television shows.  I am a complete TV junkie and watch so many shows that it is scary. As my kids get older I am on the go more and more and kept missing my favorite shows.   I never have been one to use my VCR and would always forget to set it up for my favorite shows.  I decided to ge...

I recently got this weather radio/station for Christmas.  The actual radio is detachable and comes with a holster and wrist string.  The batteries are rechargable and charge by sitting on the base.  The base contains an atomic clock (which also acts as an alarm clock) and a weather station with temperature and humidity readings for both inside and outside using the outdoor sensor...

Looking for a way to improve my skin, hair and nails from the inside out, I decided to supplement my diet by taking additional essential fatty acids orally. GNC had Omega Essentials 3 - 6- 9 at a great price (I'm a Gold Card member) so I picked it up. You take 1 to 3 softgel tablets daily. This supplement is also safe for children over 5 and they can take 1 softgel daily. Each softgel conta...

The TI-30X IIS is a very solid scientific calculator made by Texas Instruments. The reason that I bought this version was that with all my experience with other scientific calculators, this was the most simple, efficient, and best looking calculator available. Also considering the cheap price, it was a good buy as well. Most classes throughout high school and definitely into college require a s...

This is a very powerful calculator for the price.  But this one developed display problems early and died.For $10.00 you get a lot of computing power here.  The overall size is 3.5 x 6 inches, by .5 inch thick (in the case).  The case is a slide-on hard shell.It has basic calculations with a ten-digit limit.  You can quickly set a number to be a constant for use over and ove...
