Review First Draft

Rolling Stone Review

The February 2009 issue of the Rolling Stone (RS) magazine is the most recent of the Rolling Stone empire. This music/culture magazine has been around since 1967 and was started in San Francisco. The current editor and publisher Jann Wenner created the magazine devoted to music and culture and moved into politics in the early 1970s.
This specific issue of RS carries on the greatness that transcends the name. From the picture of Sean Penn on the cover to the reviews of Van Halen, this magazine is very professional and informative. RS appeals to the younger crowd while still being precise enough to appeal to 30, 40, and 50 somethings.
Overall, the Rolling Stone magazine appeals to all crowds, is very precise, and has great content while still being very informative.


Earth Essentials Toilet Paper Review

Earth Essentials toilet paper is a CVS brand paper that is made from 100 percent recycled material. It is not known where it is made but is distributed by CVS/Pharmacy and is made from 60 percent post consumer goods.
The paper feels like one-ply paper and is not soft at all. Sandpaper comes to mind when touching this tp. Also, if put up to a window, the paper is so thin that you could almost see clearly through it. The packaging of the paper does not help the appeal of this product because it is a clear plastic wrapping with a small green label.
If you have a sensitive behind, you might get a severe rug burn with this product. If you are buying this product for its “green” side, then its environmental standards are second to none, but if you are looking for comfort, then you should find another brand of toilet paper.

iDog Review:
The iDog is a battery powered portable music speaker made by Hasbro. This speaker set reacts to an external music source such as an mp3 player or iPod and lights up and dances to the music. The electronic canine also will dance if you place it near a speaker. The iDog went on sale in March 2005, and Hasbro has also come out with variations such as the Spi-dog, iCat, and iCy (a penguin speaker). Different companies also sell clothes and accessories for the adorable electronics.
While the idea of a cute portable speaker system is brilliant, the iDog doesn’t fetch the bone with their speaker system. The sound quality is nothing short of disgusting, and the movements are very jerky. The lighting patterns that show on the face are boring, and the robot only moves at the neck. The speakers were entertaining at the start, but quickly lost its entertainment value as the listener realized the limitations of the dog.
While the iDog is not comparable to the iHome speaker system in its quality, the price tag is very favorable to the average music listener on the run. If you are looking for heart thumping bass along with a dazzling light show, this Hasbro product is not for you. If you need a cute fun way to listen to your music and don’t care that much about the quality, then you should listen to this dog howl.
