TessCulver commented on Palm Pre Users Complain About Lack of On-Screen Keyboard

TessCulver commented on Ensure Your Car Rental Goes as Planned

"My pet hate with rental companies is the "or equivalent" description in the online booking system. You book a "standard convertible" which shows a picture of a Mustang and says "Mustang or equivalent" and when you get there, never, and I repeat *never* do they have a Mustang."

TessCulver commented on Giz Explains: Why Analog Audio Cables Really Aren't All The Same

"Monster cables are NOT good cables by any audiophiles definition. Better than the cheap junk, yes, but they're hardly the most expensive thing out there and nor are they highly regarded. It is worth buying decent well shielded analogue cables, if only for the mess of AC cables you typically find behind your equipment cabinet and the fact you generally go around the room running parallel to your electric mains socket wiring. Personally I've always bought QED speaker cable and analogue interconnects, but the good stuff like Van nen Hul is overkill for my system even though I have pretty decent B&W floorstanders and a high end Denon surround amp.
