A good extra-wide angle lens...
on August 7, 2015
Posted by: jon96789

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have an 18-135 mm STM zoom lens for my Canon camera which is equivalent to a 24-200mm zoom lens on a normal camera. At times, I found the wide angle to be a little narrow for some shooting. I looked at the Canon 10-22 USM zoom lens but found out from reviews that the cheaper 10-18 STM lens was superior to the 10-22 lens.
Like the 18-135 lens, this lens exhibit some barrel distortion (all wide angles do, some more than others) but otherwise I find this lens to be just what I need. The lens is not expensive and very lightweight. It goes perfectly with my 18-135 lens for traveling...

Great range, inconsistent signal...

Verified Purchase:Yes
In a way, I love this router. It is a lot stronger than my older Netgear 6300 or Linksys E4200. When I first set it up, I got 90% signal in one section of the house (the older system gave me 60%) and another section got 80%. Things was going great, but for some reason, every few days, I noticed that the signal weakened considerably, dropping down to 18% and 5%. The only way to restore the signal was by rebooting the router and reconfiguring my devices.
I see that some other owners were having the same issues. The thing is, I bought this router so I could stream videos and music from my cloud drive throughout the house. When it is working, it is great, I can tell when the signal drops because the videos start stuttering. So far, I had the router for about six weeks and had to reset everything twice.

A Very Good Miyazaki film...
on March 9, 2015
Posted by: jon96789
from Honolulu, HI
Verified Purchase:Yes
Porco Rosso (the Crimson Pig) is pretty much an unnoticed Ghibli film. The film deals with a heroic pilot in the 1930s who was cursed and was changed to a human with a pig's head (the reason was never disclosed). It takes place in the Adriatic off Italy where air pirates roam freely. Porco is a mercenary who is challenged to a duel by an American mercenary who is seeking the reputation of shooting down the famous pig.
The animation is atypical of Ghibli's releases during the time period. The flying scenes are quite good and the aircraft used in the film is based on real planes (a Curtis and a Savoia S-21) .The transfer on the Blu-Ray disc is impeccable and is a lot better than the original DVD. The audio is clear, but not much in terms of surround effects.

good family drama
on February 21, 2015
Posted by: jon96789
from Honolulu, HI
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bill Murray is on of my favorite actors and he does not disappoint here... He appears to be a lonely drunk to a single mom who moves in next door. She has to work late and entrusts her introverted son to his care. The son learns some real lessons in life and becomes stronger in character.
The only problem with the movie is that it has some unanswered issues (which is answered in the deleted scenes). Bill Murray is great in this movie.
The video quality is pretty good. The audio is sometimes a bit hard to understand because of the gruff vocals in Murray's character.

A good buy for Bread fans...

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bread was a pop group in the '70s. They sang mostly love ballads and some mediocre mild rock songs... They were well known for their style but did not last too long.
If you are a Bread fan, this is a good assortment of their hits for the price

A popcorn movie...
on February 11, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is all action. The plot is a bit ludicrous but Timothy Olyphant and Olga Kurylenko do a passable acting job. If you don't mind watching an action movie and cannot take it seriously, it is a worthwhile watch... Kinda like the Taken series of movies... Very implausible but fun...

This film is are make of the classic Rod Serling original. Even with a good cast, the film is pretty abysmal. The current Ape series a a lot better than this movie. I would definitely pass on this one...

A poor translation of a great film...
on February 11, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
The original Korean "Old Boy" is a classic film. This Americanized remake just does not come across that well, even though the film copies the original until the end. Somehow, the acting is not convincing and the plots kind of drags. I would pass...

A good collection of Grisham movies...

I like John Grisham movies. A time to Kill and the Pelican Brief are top notch stories, but the Client is only so-so. Still for the price, this triple feature is a great bargain.

Great USB Flash drive

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this drive...It is USB 3.0 which is somewhat faster than USB 2.0 (definitely not 10X faster, more like 50% faster). It also uses a retractable cap instead of a separate cap that can be easily lost. It is very large and is very cheap when on sale,,,

Personal Home Cloud Network setup
I am looking at setting up a home network using either a WD or Seagate My Cloud hard drive. The concern I have is we use multiple systems in the house (PCs, MacBook, IPad, Galaxy, ....) and I want to be able to access the home network using any and all of these systems. When I read through the setup instructions for the WD and Seagate, they are either for the PC or Mac; there's not much guidance on across platform setup. Am I able to setup the network so I have access to it using any of my systems? if so how do I go about doing this?
It does not matter what OS you use as the Cloud drive will appear as a network drive. If the device can detect the network, it should detect the cloud drive.
The only thing is how the devices have the ability to back up to the cloud drive. They all can back up but it may have to be done manually...

which is the best sata hard drive for my hp pavalion h9 1130
interested in best fast and reliable
SATA drives are getting cheap... You could pick up a 250GB SATA drive for about $80 or so. You have to check if your computer has an internal SATA connector. IF not, you will need to buy a PCI SATA card.

Which internal hd is best for an emachine desktop?
You have to check if your eMachine desktop uses an IDE/PATA or a SATA HDD... I think the eMachines used IDE/PATA connectors. If so, you will have a hard time finding a replacement as they have been more or less phased out by SATA drives. I would look into a WD 250GB HDD. Again, you will have to get more information as really older computers may not recognize drives of large capacity...
