Fun Kids Movie, Pretty Terrible 3D
on February 3, 2015
Posted by: casualphoenix
from Burlington, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
Summary says it all! Kids will love it - has a lot of action, it's cute, has fun Christmas stuff, etc. However, the 3D version has a lot of ghosting issues (more than any other 3D movie I own).

Better Than the First, Could Improve 3D
on February 3, 2015
Posted by: casualphoenix
from Burlington, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
Summary says it all! Liked how they told the human/ape story better than even the first (although I still like how they did the first). The 3D was pretty good, but had obvious issues around the edges of the action/screen.

Enjoyable Sequel

Verified Purchase:Yes
The first time I watched this one I really didn't like it as much as the first one. Watched it a couple times since then and I like it a bit more. The minions are, of course, always great, the plot's at least interesting, Gru gets to be a parent a bit more, and the new characters are fun. I'd say this is an enjoyable companion to the first.

Great so far!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Been using this external hard drive for ~1 month so far and it's been great. Very fast (yay USB 3.0!), built-in hard drive encryption, and the software (at least the parts I've used) has been easy to use. It's nice that you can set it to ask for a password if you plug the external into a different user, but for the current user it'll always unlock. Handy for situations like mine when it's constantly being used as a backup drive.

Great for early adopters, public should wait
on September 27, 2014
Posted by: casualphoenix
from Burlington, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Moto 360 is the current Android Wear flagship, mostly showing what should be done (style, capability, features, general appeal), but also what to avoid (old processor, poor battery performance on preferred screen mode, some movement-to-wake issues). Early adopters should give it high consideration, but the general public should probably wait for version 2. In either case, it further cements Motorola as an improved player, pushing forward yet another technology category.

What's great about it: design, display, voice recognition, wireless charging, ambient light sensor, pedometer, heart rate monitor
What's not so great: battery (with ambient screen on; otherwise it's fine), not a ton of apps at the moment

Best Superman Movie Yet
on September 12, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
Man of Steel is the Superman movie I've been waiting for. Zach Snyder brings his unique style to the story and makes it a serious, memorable movie. I'm already heavily anticipating Batman Vs. Superman!

Good, but not Great
on June 5, 2014
Posted by: casualphoenix
from Burlington, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Despicable Me 2" is worth watching if you're a fan of the (now) series, but I'd still consider the first one as the better movie.
The plot has moments where it's dragging or disjointed, and the dialogue between the main actors isn't as good.
However, the minions are pretty terrific. More minions!

Worked Great the First Time
on March 15, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this controller because I wanted to try playing Skyrim with a controller instead of a keyboard and mouse.
I bought it at Best Buy (using a price-match from online, which they did for me at the register; very helpful), took it home, plugged it into my Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit desktop, it loaded the drivers, started up Skyrim, and it just worked.
Very happy with the ease of installation and use. Would recommend this controller to anyone wanting to play Skyrim with one, especially on a Windows machine.

Can Moto 360 change a band of goods on the market ?
Are you asking if third-party bands can be used on the Moto 360, then yes, most 22mm bands can be used (although Motorola cautions that not all 22mm bands will work).
I'd suggest the Pebble Steel or Ritche bands.
