Windows 7 Annoyances: Tips, Secrets, and Solutions Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)...or maybe after a generation of Windows operating systems, we're simply immune to assaults by Windows products on the sensibilities of computer users (especially users more interested in doing things with their data files than tweaking their operating systems).In either case, "Windows 7 Annoyances"...

CNET Do-It-Yourself Laptop Projects: 24 Cool Things You Didn't Know You Could Do Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I like the subtitle: 24 cool things you didn't know you could do! This book is a useful checklist of things you can do, and not just with laptops. The first project suggests the audience: "Make a Killer Car Stereo." In other words, teens and twenty-somethings. It starts with Easy projects--fun stuff...

Networking for Home and Small Businesses, CCNA Discovery Learning Guide Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Purchased this as a textbook for an Introduction to Networking course. Only negative is that CISCO is still using Windows XP on ALL their labs. If you are using Vista or Windows 7, you will need to adapt to different screen shots. As this is a thick text, I took it to FedEx Office [formerly Kinko's]...

Computer Networks (5th Edition) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The book maintain the classic structure of subjects based on the OSI model (which is good and proven to work for those who learn about networking)...you will notice the author has updated contents in several sections of the book: from entire new paragraphs, going trough the examples to the jokes itself,...

CompTIA A+ Cert Guide (220-701 and 220-702) (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have been reading books authored and co-authored by Scott Mueller since 1998. I have sworn by his Upgrading and Repairing PCs books (now in its 19th Edition with over two million copies sold from the book series) for my own use and for the use of my students in the classes that I teach. I always tell...

Data and Computer Communications (9th Edition) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)For the stated audience -- academics and self-study professionals -- it is hard to envision a better single volume study of datacom principles. Divided into five primary parts (overview, data communications, WANs, LANs, and Networking Protocols), it can provide excellent first course source material...

Seeing What's Next: Using Theories of Innovation to Predict Industry Change Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Seldom do I remember a book that totally replaces the old and popular business literature quite as effectively as Seeing What's Next does in superceding The Innovator's Dilemma and The Innovator's Solution. If you have not read either of those books, you can skip them now and read Seeing What's Next...

Zapped: Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn't Be Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've followed the terrific work of Ann Louise Gittleman, MS, CNS, PhD for years, and it's clear that after 30 books, many of them bestsellers, she has established herself as a leader in identifying the latest health challenges, as well as in presenting cutting-edge, common sense approaches to help resolve...

Agent Zigzag: A True Story of Nazi Espionage, Love, and Betrayal Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Over and over through the years as I've read books about real life spies ("Comrade" Kim Philby and Sidney Reilly among others) I've been struck by how much more amazing these non-fiction stories were than those concocted as would-be pulp fiction thrillers. I've also been struck at how all the best spies...

Mike Meyers' CompTIA Network+ Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting Networks, Second Edition (Mike Meyers' Guides) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is very helpful!I'm not very fit to criticize/applaud this book because I'm not a network guy but I'm trying to be! That being said...At a little more than halfway through I have a far better understanding about networks and network technology than I thought I would by this point. Some topics...

Audio in Media Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This was my college text for Broadcasting in 1984/85 and I taught Radio Production from this book. I am a video editor (Avid) and a freelance audio engineer having mixed/recorded over 500 music performances. I STILL reference this book. It is easy to understand, direct and thorough; maybe the only textbook...

Tesla: Man Out of Time Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I, like many others, have heard the name of Tesla and knew that he was far-sighted and a great inventor. Many rock fans will remember the group "Tesla" and their album "The Great Radio Controversy". I only mention this because I feel it opened the door for a great many young people to have an interest...

Windows® 7 Inside Out Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am so accustomed to using the Missing Manual series by David Pogue for OS upgades and programs Windows 7: The Missing Manual but did not have the patience to wait for the printing of the MM book on Windows 7, so decided to buy and dive into this one instead. It is from the Microsoft Press and written...

New Perspectives on the Internet: Comprehensive (New Perspectives (Course Technology Paperback)) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)A typical text book with a huge amount of information and outrageously overpriced. I bought this book for $86 on Amazon, the school bookstore wanted $115. I needed this book only for the class that I was required to take. However, I am happy with Amazon.Click Here to see more reviews about: New Perspectives...
