About cerberus435
I'm back after a year-long hiatus. During that time, I've completed college and taken a staff job as a graphic artist at Cablevision in New York. I usually have some time to kill and money to spend, so I'm returning to epinions to do something productive during down time.

This time around, I will review differently and outside of what most of you consider to be a "Very Helpful" review. In the spirit of the New York minute, my reviews will be poignant and useful. I will get right down to the experiences of a product and ways you maximize its value.

How so? I will not waste your time with overblown details about a product's appearance, dimensions, feature sets, and history. Frankly, a fellow commuter on the subway would not waste their time reading about the history of the iPod or the machine process used on the CPU of the PSP. They want to know, "is the iPod cool?" or "will the PSP run my games fast?"

Also, I'll show you how to get the most out of your product. For example, the new iPod 5G has great new capabilities, but (according to Apple), you must shell out $30 on Quicktime Pro to encode video. Haha, don't be foolish. Did you know that Videora makes an iPod encoder that is not only free, but it recognizes videos compressed in xVid? If you love to archive your DVD's, you'll know that xVid is one of the best codecs for that job, but QuickTime does not recognize it. So why spend $30 on an inferior product?

Okay, so how do I rate? When I look at my old reviews, I'd give myself an "H" or "SH" for talking too much. I'll be the same for everyone else. Article is too verbose? No VH. Extremely huge chunk of paragraphs? No VH. Glaring grammatical errors? No VH. Lacking in substance? No VH.

Don't agree with my rating method? Tough. This place is filled with too many articles that try too hard. You gotta make it convenient for those who only have 5 minutes, not read short stories.

Most epinions "experts" will argue that my reviews are not "complete" or "pandemic." I may not give you a full-spectrum analysis of a product. But I guarantee that you'll know the dirty little secrets about it in less than five minutes.
