Don't let large music, digital photo, video and data files slow your computer down, store them on these long-lasting, nondegradable DVD+R discs.

This is my "nth" purchase of these Memorex - 100-Pack 16x DVD+R spindles. They just work. In the burner, and in other PCs, MACs and in DVD players. Can't beat it.

I used to use McAfee for years and Norton for years. No more. Kaspersky is it.
And 3-device, which includes phones (though NOT iPhone yet - only Droid).
Nice license. Easy install.

What's great about it: Fast, transparent (no effect on performance), good malware detection
What's not so great: GUI a bit non-intuitive

Protect your valuable DVDs from dust and scratches in style. Color cases make it easy to organize, and with their superslim design, you can fit twice as many in the same space.

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.

Experience call clarity with a simple plug-and-play USB connection and a noise canceling mic. In-line controls let you control volume or mute without interrupting calls. Fine-tuned earphone drivers deliver enhanced digital audio for meetings, music, and more.
 

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!
