I don't game but I'm on the computer all day working with ether AutoCAD, Illustrator, Photoshop, Sony Vegas, Quicken, Excel just to name a few of the programs that I will write little Macros for. You can really save a lot of time especially in AutoCAD and Illustrator. It's super fast to right new ones or change ones that you have already written. Couldn't live with out this keyboard. Sonjco

Have you ever seen a US Cellular commercial? If not, you're lucky because you're missing a stomach turning spectacle. The ads are engineered to pluck your heartstrings with some totally corny and improbable emotional story. After wiping away your tears at the heartrending scenario, you realize that they were just trying to sell you a lousy cell phone. They used a touching story about helping grampa find meaning in his life to pitch me a cell phone plan? I want my emotion back! What a rip off! I don't appreciate being tricked into caring about some dumb product.
"World of Goo" will not do that to you. There's just nothing fake about it to leave you feeling disappointed or underwhelmed. It is authentically beautiful in every way. The gameplay ... Read More:

This is a fantastic program! The layout of the controls is near perfect and the color control from utilizing camera calibration is outstanding! I'm acheiving accurate colors and saturation with ease and the tonal qualities that I envision through local adjustments and easy to use gradients.

I've always thought the stuff packs were overpriced, I still think $19.99 is too much for the amount of stuff in the pack. But if you can find a good sale I'd say that this stuff pack should be first on your buy list.
Since buying Ikea Home Stuff I think I've used the items in most of my homes. It is a fantastic pack to have if you have Apartment Life too. It's a great way to furnish apartments on a budget.
So don't buy at the full retail price, look for a sale and you'll be quite pleased with the stuff pack.

I bought BioShock about three weeks ago. After spending literally hours trying to "Activate" it (the part where you type in a long string from the package and the installer asks their server if the code is valid - in my case some settings in IE somehow prevented it from connecting to their registration server, even though IE could browse the net just fine, as could Firefox, and their installer stupidly rolls back the installation if the activation fails, hence hours) I was eventually successful.
I then played the game every few days, maybe ten hours total. It was fun.
Tonight I was again prompted to enter my activation code. Again. I suspect that this is because earlier today I installed Spore for my daughter, and both games use this half ... Read More:

Roxio Creator 2009 is an update to the popular Roxio Easy Media Creator 10. The update provides a much smoother and visually appealing interface than its predecessor and now supports processing HD and Blu-ray DVDs through an additional cost add-in available from Roxio. Since I do not have a Blu-ray capable reader, I did not try this add-in. The four general functions available on the main screen (Data, Video, Music, and Photo), each bring up a sub-screen with the specific features (applications) which are available in that category. Once a feature is selected (i.e., Burn Audio CDs), the application easily walks you through the steps necessary to accomplish the task.
Overall, I found the package to be very easy to use and thorough in its functionality. All functions ... Read More:

Corel's Corel VideoStudio Pro X2 is well integrated video editing product. It works well with most video media types, and can also export files in a variety of formats. The editing layout is very clear and intuitive, especially for a product of this level of sophistication. It is very easy to create high-quality video clips. Overall, this is a solid well-designed product.
My major problem with this software has nothing to do with the product itself, but with the customer support. I am used to customer support being pretty for software being pretty shabby, but I think I've reached a new low of frustration. The copy of the product came with no serial number, which made it impossible to install. Corel's website was not very helpful in that regard, and it was hard to find a place ... Read More:
