Customer Review: Bass is not as heavy as some reviewers would laed you to think
I was expecting very heavy bass from these ear buds, but that is not the case. I got reasonable sound quality, but not the best.
Customer Review: Excellent Quality & Sound!
I had purchased my first pair 2 years ago and fell in love with their performance and sound quality. Unfortunately in a freak airplane seat accident I broke them, so I desperately needed to find a new pair. I gave in and bought another brand name set of ear buds only to be disapointed. I was happy to find the Moda one’s on Amazon for a reasonable price. Their long chord and rapping gel piece is convinient. They are a must have. i assure you you will not be disappointed.

Customer Review: audubon bird clock
I think this clock is a delightful addition to any home. It plays the bird songs on the hour and sounds like they are in the room with you.
Customer Review: A Nice Clock with Bird Song
The clock looks nice and it plays different bird songs on the hour. It turns the sound off when the lights are off. The bird songs are fairly high fidelity and have just the right volume. If you like a bird song once an hour along with a clock that is sufficiently large to be read across the room, you need not go further.
Roku SoundBridge R1000 Radio Network Music System 
The wireless R1000 SoundBridge radio system combines the convenience of a high-quality tabletop radio with the versatility of a digital music device, giving listeners the best of both worlds. The R1000 doesn’t actually store song files itself. Rather, it communicates with your Mac or PC over your home’s WiFi network and accesses all your saved WMA, AAC, MP3, WAV, or AIFF files. Once the files are retrieved, the R1000 plays them over its pair of built-in stereo speakers and subwoofer, which deliver unsurpassed audio quality. As a result, you can listen to any of your digital tunes or podcasts on the R1000 regardless of whether your computer is located upstairs, down the hall, or in the basement.
The R1000’s top panel includes a snooze/sleep button, several radio presets, and scan up/down buttons. Take a closer look. |
The R1000 is compatible with a variety of Mac and PC digital music players, including iTunes, MusicMatch, Windows Media Connect, Windows Media Player 10, Rhapsody, Windows Media DRM 10, and more. It also stands ready to play free Internet radio stations, and doesn’t require a computer to do so. All you need is broadband access and a WiFi home network and the R1000 takes care of the rest, giving you one-touch access to any available jazz, talk, rock, or pop station. And should you want to take the R1000 to a friend’s house or elsewhere, you can simply store your favorite music files on an SD/MMC card and plug it into the available slot for offline playback.
Other features include a built-in subwoofer, an SD/MMC card slot, and a headphone jack. Take a closer look. |
Your digital files are easy to navigate thanks to the bright 280 x 32 vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) and the handy remote control, which lets you browse and select music from across the room. The radio also offers Roku’s Fast Browse feature, which browses by album, artist, genre, or composer (providing your files are properly encoded with said details). And those who prefer traditional browsing can simply use the top preset, scan, and source select buttons located on top of the radio.
The unit’s superior audio quality stems from the precision-engineered sound system and the patented Linear Magnetic Drive stereo speakers and subwoofer. Each full-range speaker is outfitted with its own tuned acoustic enclosure and built-in 20-watt 3G digital amplifier, while the sub offers a proprietary Delta Tunnel-tuned acoustic enclosure and a 30-watt 3G amp. Together, the speakers deliver a full-bodied audio performance that far surpasses most tabletop radios, all in a package that’s only 11 by 6 by 6.5 inches (W x H x D).
In addition, Roku has outfitted the SoundBridge with a super-fast, 400 MHz Blackfin DSP processor and 16 MB of DRAM memory, giving it more than enough headroom to handle future software updates. Other features include a traditional AM/FM tuner; a full-function clock radio (tuned to the U.S. atomic clock) that wakes to digital music, Internet radio, AM/FM stations, iTunes playlists, podcasts, or selectable alarm tones; a gradual volume ramp mode for listeners who like to wake up slowly; a headphone jack for private listening; and a built-in light sensor that automatically dims the display in the evening.
The R1000 system weighs 4 pounds and 15 ounces and is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Customer Review: The best of the table top Internet radios!
Of the three Internet radios I own the Roku SoundBridge R1000 is hands down the best. I have compared it to the Grace and the new Asus models and while it is more expensive it is well worth it. First, the Roku has very good sound for a small tabletop radio. The vertical speaker port in the back seems to make a difference. For a clock radio on a nightstand it is perfect. I think the best thing about the Roku is the ability to program and manage it from a Web page. The others are clumsy and time consuming and that makes it difficult to search for and program favorites. The Roku is extremely convenient through the Web page and makes it easy to search for and create favorites and also up to 18 stations in one-button memory. The AM/FM stereo is a nice touch too for local stations. For a little more money get the Roku!
Customer Review: Best wifi radio currently on the market
This is my third wifi radio so far and the best (and most expensive) by some margin. I also own the Phoenix which works OK in the bathroom (rechargeable battery) but pales in comparison to the Roku. I previously owned the Revo which worked OK but let me down due to (1) poor user interface and (2) it stopped working after two months. The second point may have had something to do with the fact that I bought the first edition coming of the production run — I didn’t bother replacing it as I was moving from the UK to the US. Bottom line — the Roku is a premium wifi radio but in my view worth every penny. Good sound quality, good reception, somewhat intuitive user interface (my only naggle was that I had to specify the network as it couldn’t find it automatically). A great product.

Customer Review: teaching time
This is an excellent teaching tool. I have been using this at home with my own children. They also use it when they play school. It has a variety of teaching levels(from on the hour to time story problems) so one child can get at least three years of learning out of this clock.
Customer Review: Fantastic Teaching Clock!
This teaching clock was great for my first grade son, who was a few weeks behind learning about the clock in school. He just wasn’t understanding the 5 and 1 minute intervals at all. Within one day of having this clock for him to play with (and boy does he love to play with it and his 2 year old brother enjoys it, too)he understood how to tell time! I don’t think I learned how to tell time until I was 8 years old, but maybe I would have learned sooner, too, had I had this really great learning clock!
Clock 
Sometimes simplicity can be heartbreaking. So it is with The Clock, a wonderfully simple love story that stands as one of the gems of the MGM golden years. It should be noted right off that this 1945 film is not a musical, despite a talent roster led by the maestro of MGM musicals, producer Arthur Freed. Rather, it’s a straight, black and white romance about a soldier (Robert Walker) with a two-day pass in unfamiliar, overwhelming New York City. He meets an office worker (Judy Garland), and in the glow of the city and each other, they fall in love. Underlying the sweetness of the romance is the time limit of the soldier’s leave, after which he will be sent overseas; the clock brings an urgency to the action, especially after the lovers lose each other in the crush of a subway. Veteran character actor James Gleason provides lovely support, as does his real-life wife, Lucile. Director Vincente Minnelli brought his designer’s eye to the film, turning (by his own avowed intention) New York City itself into the third main character in the drama. It’s not difficult to guess the reason for the film’s strong emotional tug, or for Judy Garland’s radiance; Minnelli had fallen in love with Garland during the making of Meet Me in St. Louis a year earlier, and they would marry after filming The Clock. She was never lovelier than in these two pictures. –Robert Horton

Customer Review: The Definitive 1940s Love Story!
I first saw this movie when I was eight years old and ten years later I still have not grown tired of it. It is one of those films which gets better with each viewing. The deceivingly simple love story of a young woman and a GI who fall in love and get married within 24 hours seems formulaic. But this film is anything but formulaic. The characters are unique and down-to-earth. What I liked best about this film is the way you can imagine what life was like in New York in the 1940s. The mannerisms of people and the mood of the America in this movie are so different from today, yet the film has aged well and is still relatable. Anyone who has ever felt bewildered in a new city could connect to Robert Walker’s character (it is everybody’s dream to find his/her soulmate by accident in a strange city populated by millions!) The film is may be slow-paced for some, but don’t let this discourage you. By the end, you’ll be surprised how completely immersed you’ll be in the story and the characters. The film, besides starring Judy Garland in her only non-musical role, has an excellent supporting cast and is directed by the talented Vincent Minnelli. And as a side note, the beautiful musical score of the movie amplifies all the emotions in the film. Don’t be surprised if you get watery eyes.
Customer Review: Great Acting in a Wacky Plotline
Compared to most of the other reviews, I’m sure mine will seem like a cynical, bitter pill. I’m under the age of 50, so I’m sure that might have something to do with my opinion as well. Listen: I love movies from the golden era as much as the next guy, but this overly sentimental bomb is saved only by Judy’s presence in an otherwise near-psychotic piece of Hollywood drivel. I’d rather watch Wizard of Oz, at least I know I’m watching a fairy tale ahead of time. Since others have given the basic plot line, I’ll skip to the parts that I thought were completely implausable. It takes a great deal of suspended disbelief to swallow this movie. The fact that they have not exchanged more than first names after 24 hours is a great example. People do more than that even in today’s fast-paced dating scene, so I’m sure that in that age you’d need a bit more info before falling in love and getting married, regardless of impending war. The dialogue in the park scene was absurd and the odd music (complete with angelic vocals)under the scene where they somehow unrealistically fall in love made it seem extremely… well, unrealistic. A ride from the milkman in order to get home from the park? Sure, I’ll swallow that. Delivering the milk for him? I doubt it, even in that innocent time. Then we get to the cafe scene. Pure Fellini. The drunk and the extremely odd woman at the bar made it seem like a nightmare scene at best. More odd was the fact that Judy’s character just smiled, chatted and drank her coffee during the whole scene, nearly obvlivious. The “let’s get married right now” and “we have to get a liscense and blood test before 4:00 PM” writing, acting and montages were all heavy-handed at best. And the wacky dialogue and plot turns through this section made the film fall lower than it should have. My favorite scene: During the wedding dinner at the cafe, when Alice laments her wedding as “ugly” and cries. The whole drama is being watched by the kitchen help at the next table, strategically placed close and dead-center in the shot between the two stars, simply ruining an otherwise nice bit of acting. Minnelli might have known what to do with musicals, but he bruised this movie with poor choices throughout. Parts of this turkey were downright laughable, and not in the right places.
