WaZiX writes "Not sure what you want to buy for christmas? Well me neither, but PCMag has an interesting article on what they consider to be the 10 worst products of the year, so at least you know what not to buy. Helpful article that picked out products from different categories such as PDA's, Notebooks and MP3 players."

    how come there is never a list of the 10 worst cars? Never saw an article in Car and Driver saying don't buy this - it sucks. Cars are far more expensive and more dangerous! and they probably sell more cars than digital cameras or camcorders in this country anyway.

    I looked at his past articles and they're all fluff. He goes on how stuff like the Moxi is going to kill Tivo and such.

    Well, the Moxi has been out for a while, and anyone who has used both already knows the Moxi is a pile of junk. It's quality of recording on analogue channels is awful compared to Tivos. It doesn't know what "first runs" means - It thinks any episode you haven't seen is a "first run". This is a problem for any show that is in syndication. It doesn't let you record by date and time recurring; you HAVE to use a pass or select the show by hand to record it. And to top it all off, the GUI is abysmal. It shows you a preview of the next THREE shows on each channel, instead of 12 like Tivos. The show DESCRIPTIONS are vague and dont list if it contains AL, V, N, AC, SC, etc ...

    In summary, he likes jumping the gun.
