Software error cost me $900
Review Date: August 1, 2010
Reviewer: Sharon Boler,
Due to a software error, H&R Block's At Home service miscalculated my education credits, causing my refund to be $900 too much. Four months later, I was notified I have 30 days to pay it back to the IRS. H&R Block's guarantee says they'll pay interest and penalties if they make a mistake... but only until August 31. They won't pay any of my interest or penalties after that date, and has left me no other options to avoid the penalties. $900 is a lot of money to produce in 30 days, and I will be charged a significant amount of money by the IRS and risk audit for filing an "incorrect" return and "claiming" credits I wasn't entitled to. I will never use any H&R Block product again. One would think a company of this size would have double checked their software sometime before I used it at the end of February.

Reviewer: Axiom068, New York
It seems every year I keep switching from turbotax to H&R Block and back again the next year. In some years H&R Block is better and in some years Turbotax is better, but I get my taxes done and correctly each and everytime without any problems.

Reviewer: V. Badillo,
The product is hard to install, leaves too many tracks on the system and not user friendly. Turbo Tax is much better.
State eFile not free
Review Date: June 28, 2010
Reviewer: SPB-RU, CA USA
The software worked well, but state eFile is not free.
I used H&R Block At Home 2009 Deluxe Federal + State + eFile [Formerly TaxCut] to help file taxes for a single person with one W2, no mortgage, no investments, no itemized deductions. The program worked well. It calulated the same return amount as the CA's franchise board's efile website.
I was extremely disappointed that the state eFile was not included, only the Federal was. This was not clear to me from the way it was worded on Amazon's product page and on the product box. However, I was able to eFile on the CA franchise board's website, I just had to answer all questions there again.
Great Product for Doing Taxes on the Cheap
Review Date: May 19, 2010
Reviewer: C. Humbles, Baton Rouge, LA
I have used H&R Block Tax Software for years. Amazon offered it at the Best Price, so I grabbed it. The only drawback with the Software is that the State E-File is not Free. They give you 5 Free Federal E-Files, but how many people do you know will have to file 5 Federal Returns. For my state, LA, the cost was $19.99. They need to have 2 Free Federal E-Files and 2 Free State E-Files or something close to this. Otherwise, it is always cheaper than Turbo Tax.
If you own a home, made donations or have medical expenses, TurboTax Deluxe will easily get you every tax deduction you deserve.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, is a next-gen experience complete with top-of-the-line graphics and surround sound designed for the Sony PlayStation 3. Featuring the most revealing display of Kojima Production's premier title, MSG4 details the world where Snake must under go his final mission. In a world overrun by private military companies (PMCs), wars are no longer fought over nations or ideologies. Instead, the wars of the future are micro-managed by overarching PMCs, right down to the bullet. New gadgets and abilities fuel Snake's journey deep into the enemy domains of the Middle East, South America, and beyond. New gear includes "Metal Gear Mk. II," the ultimate reconnaissance tool, and "Solid Eye," which gives Snake real-time information on enemies and his surroundings.
Old timer Snake returns for what is slated as the final installment in the Metal Gear series. View larger.
New and old characters abound in MGS4. View larger.
PMCs have run amok and the world is at war. View larger.
Octacamo will help Snake blend into surroundings. View larger.
Joined by a familiar cast of characters, Snake must once again return to the battlefield to confront his lifelong rival, Liquid Ocelot, who is manipulating the world's wars from the one world where soldiers will always have a place. But Liquid Ocelot is not the only one who will be able to manipulate the world's wars--Snake can destabilize opposing forces by working behind the scenes, supporting the local militia as they fight PMCs, creating a smokescreen that allows Snake to move freely within the war-zone.
MGS4 is a next-generation adventure set in the aftermath of MGS2: Sons of Liberty. The concept behind the latest Metal Gear Solid project is "no place to hide," and this edition in the series will force Snake into unexpected circumstances with an all-new storyline that breaks away in some ways from the previous MGS franchise entries. We don't want to spoil it for you, but, producer Hideo Kojima did reveal some very juicy tidbits about the game and the storyline when it was first announced at E3 of 2006. "Until now," said Kojima, "we've released two entries of the MSX2 Metal Gear series, and three entries in the Metal Gear Solid series. Add to this Portable Ops, and you get a total of six titles. All mysteries will be cleared up in Metal Gear Solid 4."
Kojima was very clear about the finality of MSG4, leaving gamers to wonder, "Will Snake die?!" When asked if the story will come to this sort of an end, Kojima responded without the slightest bit of vagueness, "It will come to an end." The MGS4 E3 trailer showed a number of characters from the Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid histories. This final installment is sure to deliver loads of cameos, in fact, it is rumored that nearly all the characters from the series will make an appearance.
In addition to a return of classic Metal Gear Solid characters, the gameplay systems from part three are also expected to make a comeback. The camouflage system from part three will make it into MGS4, with the addition of "OctoCamo," Snake's most advanced stealth suit to date. The name appears to be formed from the words "Octopus" and "camoflauge," and players will be awestruck by the chameleon-like camo that changes with the surroundings. OctoCamo allows Snake to blend in with his environment as it digitally manifests nearby textures in real time. Think if it this way, if Snake is standing next to a wall worn out with holes, he too will appear to be riddled with holes. It has also been revealed that MGS4 will have online play, but no specifics have been released. Although very little information is known about the game's visuals, rumor has it that MGS4 is expected to be the finest representation of console graphics on the PS3, and it is expected that they will just get better and better as the game nears its release date.
Product Details
Although little is known, MGS4 is being touted as the final installment in the Metal Gear Solid series.
Chameleon-like camouflage system, Octacamo, blends Snake into his surroundings.
Loads of characters from previous Metal Gear Solid installments will return in this final chapter.
Slated for simultaneous worldwide release in June 2008, Konami has released very few details about MGS4.

Jump Lists New in Windows 7, Jump Lists take you right to the documents, pictures, songs, or websites you turn to each day. To open a Jump List, just right-click a program icon on the Windows 7 taskbar. (You'll also find them on the Start menu.) What you see in a Jump List depends entirely on the program. The Jump List for Internet Explorer 8 shows frequently-viewed websites. Windows Media Player 12 lists commonly-played tunes. Your Jump List missing a favorite? You can "pin" whatever files you like there. Jump Lists don't just show shortcuts to files. Sometimes they also provide quick access to commands for things like composing new e‑mail messages or playing music.
Improved Windows Taskbar In Windows 7 you can "pin" favorite programs anywhere on the taskbar for easy access. Not crazy about the icon lineup? Now you can rearrange them any way you like by clicking and dragging. Finally, there are new ways to preview windows. Point to a taskbar icon to see a thumbnail preview of open files or programs. Then, move your mouse over a thumbnail to preview the window full-screen. You can even close windows from the thumbnail previews--a big time saver.
Snap Ever need to cut through a cluttered desktop and quickly focus on a single window? Just click a pane and give your mouse a shake. Every open window except that one instantly disappears. Jiggle again--and your windows are back.
Ready to move up to a dual-core? This Intel Pentium processor-based PC is a good place to start. The Intel Pentium processor is the fast dual-core that lets you surf the web and run multiple applications simultaneously. So you can browse, IM, download music or transfer photos all at once. And use office applications, too.
With the 2.1 GHz Intel Pentium T4300 dual-core processor, you'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly. And its Intel 64 architecture is also ready for tomorrow's 64-bit applications, and offers enhanced performance through improved virtual memory. It has a 1 MB L2 cache and an 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB). (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD±R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It offers the following read/write speeds:
A 1.3 megapixel digital web camera built into the LCD's bezel lets you quickly snap photos and participate in live video chats. The integrated webcam does more than just video chats. It includes Toshiba Face Recognition capabilities--the ultimate hands-free, hassle-free way to log onto your laptop. Just show your face to the webcam--no keeping track of hard-to-remember passwords and no unnecessary typing. And if you're using one laptop for several users--say for the whole family or for a small business--Toshiba Face Recognition lets you switch profiles with one simple look.
