Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Crosscut Shredder
This product is easy to use and easy to maintain. It presents no problems.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - craptastic
I specifically picked out this shredder because it was suppose to shred CD/DVD and it gets jammed every single time you put a CD in. I tried multiples just in case it was just bad luck on that first disk. It shreds paper fantastically but I could have gotten a regular everyday shredder that did just paper for a hell of a lot cheaper. Definitely not worth the price don't buy it.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Smelled funny and died. Aurora broke-alis
Walmart sold these cheaper and even at that I feel taken. I assumed frmo the start 10 sheets meant 5 and I was right. Even 5 choked the poor thing. After only 4 basketfulls over a few days with many long breaks it began to smell plasticky even using 2-3 pages at a time. It never could approach 10 and try a CD, the noise it makes made me run for the fire extinguisher. All of a sudden it won't shred anything even a tissue without choking. Ive checked in the mechanism but nothing is fouling it that can be seen and its pretty open to see.
Maybe I got a lemon but you could too. Get a different brand, this thing is way to stressed to even approach its overly hopeful rating of 150 pages a day and 10 pages at a time. 10 sheets of cigarette paper maybe :-P
Mine was garbage and a total waste of money



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - better then expected
Purchased this item with a gift certificate.
All members of the family have been using this shredder now, from shredding credit cards, several pages of paper....to shredding CD's and data disks.
This shredder has taken everything in, and seemed to handle it effortlessly!
I was very, very surprised about the sturdy design, and how heavy in weight it is. (Which is, no doubt, a good thing in this case!)
I highly, highly recommend this shredder, not only for home use, but a business as well.
I would buy again, without hesitation!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Shredder works just like it should
Product works very well, no problems, both during the initial very heavy-duty catch-up phase of shredding years worth of documents and now on a daily basis. Also, with the super-saver shipping, it still arrived in 2 days.

We've covered in too much detail how it's some sort of "open season" on Vonage when it comes to VoIP patents. After dealing with ridiculous and expensive patent lawsuits from companies who failed to actually innovate in the same way Vonage did, the company was pressured by Wall Street to quickly settle the various patent lawsuits filed against the company. Of course, rather than settle matters, that simply opened the door for other companies to go searching through their patent portfolios to see if there was anything they could sue Vonage over. Indeed, following those settlements it didn't take long for AT&T to dig up a patent and sue -- which was quickly settled as well. Thought things were over? No such luck. Nortel just showed up last month to sue and it took all of about a week and a half for Vonage to settle that case as well.

The Nortel case is slightly different because Vonage actually already had a patent infringement lawsuit going against Nortel, but it wasn't really initiated by Vonage. Instead, it had been initiated by a patent holding firm that Vonage bought in 2006. The end result of the settlement doesn't involve money changing hands, but just a cross licensing agreement for the patents. So what's the big lesson that Vonage and others have learned from this? It's certainly got nothing to do with innovating. It's to hoard as many patents as possible so that you have your own nuclear stockpile for when someone else sues you. Want to know why the USPTO is overwhelmed? It's not because there aren't enough examiners (as some will claim) or that there aren't enough funds. It's because the way the system now works is that you are supposed to file patents on every tiny little advancement so you can use it to protect yourself against lawsuits from everyone else. That's not about innovation. It's about waste. In the meantime, since it's still open season at Vonage, who's going to be next? There are a ton of other patents in the VoIP space that can surely be used in a lawsuit, right?

Small and light enough for a shirt pocket, Samsung's Helix YX-M1 is a one-stop audio entertainment center with an XM radio, a digital music player, and room for 50 hours of tunes, but it comes up short on battery life.

This raw work-flow application isn't the Holy Grail many hoped it would be, but Apple Aperture 1.5 could make life easier for photographers who need to cull, retouch, and output large numbers of photographs quickly and efficiently.
