Been awhile since I reviewed something so let me show you this cool site
Amazing Site gives you reviews of movies coming out and lets you watch trailers, also "Theres an App for everything", YES there is a Rotten Tomatoes iPhone app (FREE).
The Site is very easy to navigate just search in the search bar and you will find a review for almost anything, ie Iron Man 2.
You can also sign up and follow critics, hmmm seems like this site except that one is for movies and this is for sites.
Online flash games are all over the net, this site has some fun games but not that many, I would recommend staying away from these sites unless you know them because its a flash file, and you don't know what is in them, for all you know a Trojan could be downloaded by pressing a button. But I didn't get a trojan and I am using the best Anti-Virus there is, ESET.
Sure having a Modded PSP is great, NOTE: I do not use/prefer to use my cfw PSP for piracy just for homebrew.
This site ISN'T a scam but ships from hong kong and has very high S+H, I would rather buy one locally off cragislist for $20-$30 or even go to a modder for $15-$20.
Overall, high S+H so the price of $20 goes up to about $30 or $35 maybe more.
Okay now this is what I have been looking for. Thank you for pointing out this isn't a scam. I know it is pricey but I don't live in an area where I can get my PSP modded by anyone locally. Going to give this a shot so thank you for this review. Though I don't know why nowadays you need the battery. Back with my version 1.0 of the PSP, you just needed the old version and I modded it with firmware changes. I guess they changed things now...
Yeah, it has changed a lot from 1.0, now there 5.50GEN etc.
If you need help after you get your pandora battery private message me, because the MMS they give in the packs uses very old CFW, I can send you the new files to update you PSP to the latest CFW.
Amazing site to beat spam, lets say you want to make an account for a site but you know it gives a lot of spam, well now you can sign up for it without worrying about spam. NOTE: the email it gives you "explodes" after 10 minutes, but if you need more time there is a button that says "I need more time! give me 10 more minutes" and it expands the time before it "explodes".
If you like this review feel free to comment and say thanks.
Oh, how neat! I'll use this when I buy stuff online. Someone should tell Hotmail and Yahoo mail to include a feature like this where you can make a dummy email account for junk that's temporarily attached to your normal email and then explodes...
Thanks for posting it! =)

I have been using gmail and now even the spammers are infiltrating googles email. I don't know why but I do know I can't stand all of the spam I am getting. I will try this out!
Whoaaa! WHere were you 3 days ago? Haha. I am soo using this from now on. I'm tired of getting random spam for signing up for something and it turns out what i signed up for wasn't even worth it. =/
Sure they sell good products but thats not what this review is about.
Future Shop, one of the biggest scams I have seen. I had bought a computer from them ( a laptop ) and bought the extended warranty from them. At the time the warranty said, if we have to repair it 3 times before you get a free computer of exact value from us. so I sent it in when the system keyboard and mouse wasn't working, so thinking that was 2 repairs I get it back and ask if a problem comes up again do I get a new laptop, well they said no because that was only one repair, even when I sent it in for 2 repairs, they told me for it to count you need to send it in 3 separate times.
Long story short, Future Shops extended warranty is a scam, if you fall for there money trap I feel sorry for you, because if you get a warranty get one from the manufacture (Sony, HP, Apple etc...). NOTE: Best buy is the exact same company, and they also scam people with the warranty.
Also I recommend getting a Sony Vaio because Sony has the best customer service I have ever seen, sent my computer into Sony and got it back in 2 days (I drove to the store dropped it off and picked it up.)
Sure not always correct but is amazing with a good community, that are willing to help. Yahoo answers reminds me of this site but instead of site reviews they are Q&As. You can ask any questions such as... How to tell if something is overheatting? ...to something like... What is a blah blah? ...can be very helpful but can have spam or fake info every so often.
answers.yahoo.com has helped me a lot more than I realize! I'll never forget when I was starving and needed to cook a chicken breast.. this site helped me defrost it quickly!
And they have SO MANY answers.. just knowing that other people have had similar problems to me and that there is a community who supports and show concern is a nice feeling.
Who could hate firefox? It is an amazing web browser that runs fast and better than IE8, Safari, Chrome (but questionable for chrome). But something I could say for sure it is the most customizable of all of them.
Thunder Bird, well lets just say when you have some good products you have to have some not as good ones... Thunder Bird works well for most people, but I couldn't get it to work that well for me, I am not saying it isn't a good program it is just I didn't have much luck with it. 4/4 Mozilla is amazing!
i totally agree mozilla is amazing i would love to be able to bring myslf to use it more. Problem is im set in my ways and will only use microsoft if possible. I love the tabs that Firefox pioneered on there explorer, but since IE 10 came out wih the same features i have to say i went back. I know firefox is quicker and possibly better, but as i said im set in my ways and will always use the mircosoft option if i can. sorry Mozilla
MOZILLA AND FIREFOX ROCK!!!
I especially love FireBug. Microsoft suxxxxx.
Frank, I agree with Xbox and IE sucking but Windows rocks.
Usually I would say 1/4 for these kind of sites but my little sister learned alot from this site, even some sutff I wish she didn't (now she bugs me that fairy's are real...) the pets are pricey and they rip you off with that pet of the month because I have overheard my sister being mad because she didn't some toy thing because she already had that pet and you had to activate it on that month.
They are pretty expensive but if you look at it like this. you only need to get one a year, they make easy to find and pretty cheap gifts that actually do something a bit useful (makes silence in the way they will leave you alone till they are bored).
Also like the guy below, the servers they use are old and don't work well, and customer service say that you need to update you flash player or system, and even after that it won't work so that is also why I dropped it from 3/4 to 2/4
It started with Microsoft Ver.1 and now we all know it as, Windows 7.
Windows is a Computer Operating System created by Microsoft and it is the System we all know, but not all love. Windows is a very functional OS and has a lot more people using it than any other OS.
I 100% agree. I am waiting for the windows slate devices myself...forget the ipad.

People just don't realize it is easier to have a niche product like apple OS but they can't run mainstream business software, nobody in any enterprise business sector develops for apple.
Adobe makes great programs, a bit pricey but still amazing programs like Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver, etc...
last review was 2007 so It was time for a new one
Amazing, I believe this site will help a lot of people find out what site is a scam or not. The site is very easy to search and navagate signing up is easy you can even log in via. facebook. Bottom line, amazing never go to a spam site again. Thanks Admins and staff of SiteJabber.com for creating this wonderful site
I am sure hate will come off this but like I say, I speak the truth nothing less.
1.Apple sells computers that are even comparable to a netbook
2.The iPod is an Ok product by apple but over hyped and I don't believe there is a app for "everything"
3.iPad is a redictlous product and will not sell well and I bet you anything it will become over hyped like iPod and Mac.
4.Ok the site layout is good but diffidently not the best site i have seen
Any PC can beat a Mac (well most)
there are many more perfectly fine portable devices like PSP or Zune.
iPad.... no comment.
Love it. With so many Apple fans out there it's nice to hear a contrasting opinion!
i totally agrred, i hate Apple, there are many product similar to the ipod that are just as good and use Windows Media Player instead (mines a Samsung). Its all about marketing. I personally wont use a company that told Mr Gates his idea for Windows would never sell, so he then quit the company, gave up his college degree and set up his own company. The rest is history!
I love it. I hate it. Anyone going to vote for the middle ground?
Is it always nice to hear a contrasting opinion? Does it have to be contrasting to be nice? I do understand that the suppression of contrasting opinion is responsible for endless wars and the deaths of millions, but does that mean that the expression of opposing opinions is always healthy? Or does it perhaps encourage exactly the kind of extreme polarization that the marketers want us to adopt?
Sorry, I am feeling philosophical this morning. I should probably get my coat ...
I don't *hate* Apple, but I think there are sufficient Apple fanboys raving about Apple products, the company and brand could use a little humility and criticism (i.e., I think there is a gap between the actual value and perceived value of Apple products).
Its all marketing, they trick people into buying by saying they are more exclusive, I don't know if that's what your getting at but yeah when it comes to Apple (Mac, not iPod), you DONT get what you paid for.
NOW just for fanboys that might be reading this...
The iPod was a very good idea, but iTouch is overrated, iPod was originally ONLY for music, look what its become. iMac, and thats what I hate the most from apple. I could list why but this post wouldn't end if I did.
I guess my problem is that I move in different circles, apparently. In all my life I have only ever known one person who owned an Apple laptop and one person who owned an Apple desktop and I haven't ever met a "fanboy" of either Apple or Windows, really. I have known a lot of people who've been Windows users but I don't think that makes them fanboys or fangirls (maybe I should just say "pasokon otaku", the Japanese equivalent but without gender issues).
So I don't feel the same longing to hear a different point of view, though if I did, I would probably seek out a Linux fanboy because I think it's easier to understand why someone would choose one OS over another; there's really little or no common ground between any of the most popular systems.
But in the case of the hardware, I have to say I don't really get what the love and hate angles are. Both Apple and Windows machines have the same basic human I/O - mouse, keyboard, keypad, monitor, webcam, speakers, headphones; both (I presume) use identically designed optical and magnetic drives, both (again an assumption) presumably feature similar aspects of system architecture since they now both use processors made by the same company. And as for superficial style, I imagine a Windows motherboard could be made to fit inside an Apple machine and the unit would still look the same. Both are also likely to have been manufactured in China, with similar levels of quality control, and some parts of both may even have been manufactured or assembled in the same factory. So it seems to me that the debate must be surrounding which OS is the best, assuming anyone can define "best" in an acceptable way. The hardware aspects have too much in common.
That, if true, begs another question. If it isn't the hardware that polarizes people, what does 'getting what I paid for' really mean?
The term Fanboy/girl is when someone defends there team so much they can't shut up, kinda like me with PC.
Ok from my experience, Macs what you buy is what you get, you CAN'T upgrade a mac because everything is soldered down (well my last and only mac was).
Yes, it is a OS war, hardware sometimes can come into it, such as, in laptops macs only having 2GB-4GB of RAM (Memory/Speed) and PCs having around 2GB-6GB of RAM, no PCs have better processors, Mac OS X can only support 32bit and PC/Windows supports both 32/64bit, Mac just got 64bit support in sept 09 with snow leopard (oh yeah if you had a 32bit mac, good luck getting snow leopard.)
But yeah I agree Linux is pro, I use it on my PS3 all the time.
Finally about the OS War, yeah you can't say whos the best because as soon as a OS becomes the best then the other OS makes a better feature to top the other OS. Good examples of that is PS3 vs Xbox , PC vs Mac, Coke vs Pepsi, Sport team vs Sport team, I don't know you could say almost anything.
You must work for mircosoft, because the product you mentioned are crap. I had 12 or more mircosoft run computers that all had blue screens of death for no good reason. Mircosoft based computers had corrupted software even when the computer is hardly use, upgrades mean hardware that barely functions with the original system, peripherals that can not function with each other, updates that render the mircosoft operating system corrupted or barely functional. You can not call mircosoft when all goes to pot, and the companies selling the crapy window based computers will not help with soft ware issues, support on mircosofts site is non- supportive. The mircosoft help line wants to be paid and tries to keep you on the line needlessly, after hours they can't even give you an answer. The support offered on the microsoft web site never has any answers to the issues. Microsoft products get less than twenty stars- as microsoft items are a money pit that require more time, money, and effort just to get them to function once install on your computer the first time.
this is a scam and if you look in the Terms & Conditions...
Address and Contact Information – Balls of Kryptonite, LLC, 645 West 9th Street, Los Angeles, California 90015. does this look like UK? no
And in Return Policies...
"Please note if you paid via credit card, there is a delay between the refund being processed and the credit appearing on your end. The delay, which could be somewhere between a few days and many weeks, is a function of the banking system over which we have no control." -This is a fake, many weeks? this could mean the delay could take years
"All canceled orders are refunded within 30 business days" - This could also be fake
Best to just avoid this site.
I like nexon for there Games like combat arms. but I hate the whole nexon cash garbage. Like the other guy said they have terrible customer service, I recommend to the person with the problem you sue them if they can't fix a very minor issue, I had the same problem and eventually I got the $5 item I bought, they really have to loosen up, because its just a code they send to the account, and costs them nothing at all. So bottom line, Games are fun and addictive, but there in game shops are garbage don't buy nexon cash just play the game free no matter how tempting the items are... because it isn't worth the trouble like the other guy faced
UPDATE: I was wrong skydrive gives 25GB not 20GB and Yes all free.
amazing email site, no hackers or viruses like some people *cough*google yahoo*cough* have been saying. Gives you something called Skydrive and that has 25GB of online memory for you to store school assignments, work projects, pictures, videos, music etc... also you can use spaces (also uses Skydrive) to share info like in facebook. bottom line amazing email, fast responsive and way better than gmail and ymail.
They also sell a premium service for hotmail but it is really not worth it unless you max out your skydrive and use it a lot
Wait a second, you get 20GB of online storage FREE??? For anything? That is a great deal, I have been PAYING apple for their 10GB of storage I get from them...
Yeah, 25GB free online storage not 20GB just checked today pretty crazy and it takes any file format and can be used on a Mac and a PC, even Linux, but PS3 I am not sure I will have to check.
Just saw this review and I could really use some online storage myself. This is how I am going to share my MP3s with my friends!!! We need a central place where we can upload our MP3s for file sharing. (but don't worry, we umm all bought the CDs...) Thanks Madison :)
arghhhh..... joking, hope it helps.
This is a terrible email system, and they say they are better than hotmail BS, now alot of people use gMail so I might get alot of hate for this but, I am just speaking the truth. 1. its still in Beta and it has been almost 3 years 2. like the other guy the layout is confusing and it crashes alot. 3. there little tool to merge your gmail with your hotmail and yahoo doesn't work at all. 4. claims that you can use your gmail account with Youtube, sure I will say that works, but now you need a google account to sign up for youtube... ( well it tells me that.)
I know your review is like 5 months old, but I just wanted to let you know my opinion anyway...
I am one of those people that actually like Gmail, but it's nice to see your end of the spectrum. How is the layout confusing? It's about the same as yahoo right? I was/am a yahoo to gmail convert. I use my gmail account for youtube and it worked fine for me? It merged them together and all i had to do was push a button. But maybe it's just hit and miss for some people. My friends still like yahoo and are sticking with it. To each their own!
Although, i hate that there's no filing system. Only labels. I need more organization!!!
GMail has improved but still crashes alot, the merging still won't work for hotmail, signing up for YouTube has become a massive hassle, the whole interface of organizing my psn/apple receipts is a pain in (you know). Only massive upside is that it's simple to add to iPhones mail app. (apple hates windows live)
Gmail totally works with all of those for me. It has never crashed on me and it will never crash.
pretty good free program for photo editing, honestly I loved the photo viewer runs fast looks good and can look at RAW files unlike Windows photo viewer or iPhoto. Google really did good on this one
Oh I love Picasa too! Sometimes I also use http://Flickr.com and http://smugmug.com but I think Picasa is my favorite. Thanks for posting! =)
Yeah I agree, Picasa all the way but, I still prefer Photoshop but for a free application it amazing, one of googles bests.
NOTE: Review has some harsh words in it.
This is a piece of crap like the other guy said, Google should be ashamed of it.
Putting it beside youtube videos is bad, putting it IN youtube videos that is retarded! last thing I need is to be reading crappy advertisements while I'm trying to watch a video...
Adsense comes highly recommended can you offer some insight as to exactly why it's a piece of crap?
thanks R :)
This site is amazing I use it to post my listings to sell stuff I don't need anymore and I think it has made me about $500 in total so far, I love this site
But you have to beware of some scamers.
this site is fake if you click on this and you were signed in to a email it snatches your address book/password and spams all your friends junk mail
please ignore this site.

Jeremy G. I'm a big fan of the Certified Fresh list http://www.rottentomatoes.com/movies/certified_fresh.php
And am looking forward to the 100% fresh MacGruber movie http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/macGruber/
Sherry D. Love the iPhone app, so I am glad you mentioned that in your review. Just downloaded it from iTunes. It is amazing that now I don't use sites like rotten Tomatoes unless they also have an iPhone app.
Monica O. always loved this site :) And imdb too... http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.imdb.com?rid=a8ed38ae28b3971a7ef71c2d7269ee14
