Two brilliant young physicists learn that the complex structures of atoms aren't nearly as perplexing as the inner-workings of modern women in this release featuring all 17 episodes of the The Big Bang Theory: Season One. The first season introduces viewers to the main characters: Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki), a brilliant but awkward experimental physicist; Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), an even more brilliant theoretical physicist who lacks any kind of social niceties or understanding of sarcasm and irony; and Penny (Kaley Cuoco),a young blonde aspiring actress who immediately catches Leonard's attention. Rounding out the group are Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg), an aerospace engineer who still lives with his mother; and Rajesh Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar), an astrophysicist who's so shy around women that he's unable to speak to them without the aid of alcohol.

Logitech - H390 USB Headset with Mic a Winner!

The audio quality of this headset is astounding. I used it to Skype to someone 3,000 miles away, and they sounded like they were next to me. They reported the same quality from the mic. A definite winner!

Logitech Wireless Mouse Marathon M705 lets you power on... and on. It uses less power than comparable wireless mice from other companies, so you'll go up to three full years between battery changes.~ And it uses a tiny wireless receiver that stays plugged in to your computer, so your mouse is ready to go-whenever, wherever, and for as long as it takes. Plus, hyper-fast scrolling means you'll fly through long documents to find what you need in a flash. Advanced Optical Tracking means you'll get smooth, responsive cursor control. And the sculpted, right-hand shape means you'll be as comfortable finishing up as you were getting started.

Logitech M705 Mouse is Very Good (Not Perfect)
on October 24, 2015
Posted by: VicT2
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
Replacing an old wireless mouse. Checked all the Microsoft and Logitech "mice". Logitech has always "felt" better in my hand. Wireless is bulletproof. Install is a piece of cake.
Only minor issue is the Left-Right buttons have a very small feedback - very little obvious "click" or tactile feedback, so to the touch sometimes you don't know for sure you've clicked.
But I like this mouse - and it's the right size for my hand.

Plug it in. Wait for the OS to see it. You're on wireless.
Simple.
Stick with a USB 3.0 interface. But works great on 2.0 too. I get 61 Mbps through it per SpeedTest.net

Handle storage demands with this Western Digital SATA solid-state drive. Its 560MB/s read speed and 530MB/s write speed are suitable for intensive applications, and its 2.5-inch form factor fits most desktops and laptops. The solid-state drive has no moving parts, making the drive resistant to shock to protect your data. Includes the WD SSD Dashboard to keep track of the drive's status.
 

Would this be compatible with MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2012? Currently has SATA drive. Thank you.

Yes. It has a SATA interface.
Since this is a laptop, it *might* be able to just mount where the old HDD fastened - or you can get an inexpensive mounting shell.

headset

i have to have a headset wth a mic. but my computer has only one jack. all the headsets i see are dual jacks? are there none with just one jack to plug in?
Logitech - H390 USB Headset with Noise-Canceling Microphone - Black uses USB, not an audio / mic / phones jack. Works great.

Which are these headsets below 30 dollars is the best in your option?

This is one of the best noise-canceling headsets I've ever used. Logitech has always been a good brand for me.

ambient noise in the background on other end

I'm on Google hangouts and the other person says they can hear me doing everything on the other end and hear ambient noise. How do I correct this?
The noise canceling works very very well. The person I was talking to on the other end could not hear all the ambient racket at my end, at I appeared to be right next to them quality-wise.

Does the microphone bend for adjustment?

I need one that can be close to my mouth since my job has me on this a lot and the one I have no the mic doesn't bend and the clients have a hard time hearing me.
The mic "boom" swivels about 180 degrees, but is stiff and does not bend.

The quality is spectacular. I had no trouble just getting it near my mouth.

Extend an Ethernet connection to a wall outlet with these NETGEAR Powerline 500 Nano adapters that deliver data transfer rates up to 500 Mbps for blazing-fast Web access. The Push-and-Secure button helps keep your network safe with a simple touch.
 

wireless

will this device help prevent drop call issues
If you are talking about a pure cell phone, then I suspect it will have no effect. That's the cell network coverage that might be spotty and the AC line extender won't effect that -- it's for ethernet.

if you're on VOIP, then a wireless device might have better coverage with more access point strength. Again, I suspect not likely.

microsoft office 365 home sku 5057023 vs microsoft office university sku 7016181

Technically, you must be an academic institution to get the reduced MS licensing. "University" is for that. "Home" is for normal retail.

app to trnanslate speech to computer or printer?

I type badly -
The laptop I just bought at BB (ASUS 15.6 Core i5 8GB Q501LA-BSI5T19) comes with VERY good speech-to-text software built in. It is available virtually anywhere you can type on the keyboard. Here's the blurb.

Dragon voice recognition capability

Easily control your applications through simple voice commands. Search the Web, update your social media sites, check e-mail and more.

I recommend it!
