  • Medicalhealthinsurancetoday.com review

    Today I’m reviewing a site which has the goal of comparing different private health insurance companies and giving you the cheapest one. Unfortunately I’m not familiar with the USA insurance rules (because I’m on a different continent :-)), so I can only comment on generic impressions related to this site: The domain was registered in…

  • Comparative book review

    Below is a a short comparative review of tow books about Java concurrency which I’ve read in the last couple of months. Disclaier: the Amazon links are affiliate ones. Java Concurrency in Practice is an interesting book, which should be a must-read for anyone doing concurrent programming in Java (and in these days if you…

  • noevir review

    noevir is a “direct marketing” company focusing on cosmetics and “* care” (skin, body, etc) type of products. After looking at their site I’m mostly neutral about them. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to join such (“direct marketing”) organizations, but that’s not specific to noevir. It also says “Ginza Tokyo” in the header, which is a…

  • scentsy review

    scentsy has an interesting concept for providing different scents in the room: rather than burning different materials (like candles or sticks) it uses a lightbulb to heat the wax. This provides a “smoke-free” way to enjoy your fragrances. An other advantage of the concept is that it keeps the warm glow of the candle. If…

Anyway, I’m quite happy with the initial experiments and with the help of my dear…

  • shuttledirect review

    The purpose of this website is to offer prebookable Airport taxi transfers. This means that you can rent a transportation method to/from the airport before you even embark on your journey. Is it worth it? I have to admit that I’m far from being a big traveler, but until now every airport I’ve been to…

  • RHUB review

    RHUB is a company which offers “meeting recording, Web Conference, Remote Access, Webinar software Delivered in Appliances”. It is an interesting model, especially given that there are a lot “software only” solutions in this space (GoTo meeting for example, just to name the biggest of them). They tout the simplicity of the product, especially that…

These sites usually get their revenue by using affiliate links in their lists, and this particular one is no different. In general such lists are a good starting point, but you should always be…
