I loved my wife's so much, I bought one for myself. I bought an Apple Watch for my wife's birthday. My wife was in love with it. She still thanks me for getting it for her 4 months later. Now that I have my Apple watch for over 2 months, I understand why she loves it. I can take calls, answer text message via voice, it notifies me when my next turn is by a blinker sound, it keeps a running tab on my health (pulse rate, steps, sitting and activities), tell me Weather, calendar/appointment info plus notifier and finally tell the time.
I did own a Motorola 360 watch for about a year before my Apple Watch. Only thing Moto 360 was better at was having more types of watch faces.

I bought Apple Watch for my wife's birthday. She was so very happy. She was showing me all the things she could do with her new Apple Watch. It was very easy to pair the iPhone and the Apple Watch with just a photo. The watch kept track of her daily activities. It reminded her to stand at work and move around. She like how she can reply to text messages without taking the iPhone out of her purse. I was so impressed with her watch, I bought myself one too.

I finally bought an all in one remote to declutter my coffee table. I did my research on the internet and bought the Logitech Harmony Home Control. I couldn't be happier with my choice. I finally only have one remote on my coffee table. It operates everything in my entertainment center.
The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it does not do 30 second skips like my Dish Remote does.

We love the Osram Flex lighting with the WeMo hub. We already had two other WeMo lights in our home which we also love. The reason with bought the Osram Lightify Flex over the Phillip's Hub was our Amazon Echo. Our Echo and the WeMo system work together. Now we just say, "Alexia turn on the Cabinet Lights" and the cabinet lights come on. Plus the WeMo app is easy to program to set on and off times for each of our WeMo/Osram lights.

My old iPad Mini (the Original one) was getting slow. It only had 16 GB and was almost four years old. What an improvement with the iPad Mini 4 over my iPad Mini 1. I transfer pictures and songs in half the time. And I love the finger print scanner. It makes it easy to log in quickly without having to type in the log in code. I high recommend this iPad over the older iPad minis. My wife is jealous now and wants to trade in her iPad Mini 2.

Needed to upload some of my old CDs to iTunes. I first used my wife's old USB CD Drive which was slow, had errors and was crashing. I replaced her old CD drive with Apple's SuperDrive. It was fast and has never crashed. Even reads of the scratched CDs that weren't being read by the old CD drive. My old scratched AC/DC was being read by the Apple Disc Drive that I couldn't play anymore on my stereo.

I replaced my 10 year old JBL speakers with Pioneer's SP-BS22. I could not be happier. The sound is fantastic. They are great at high volumes to whisper quiet in both movies and music. For the price they sound just as good as $300+ speakers, if not better. Plus I picked them up as an open box for even less than $100.. My best purchase this year.

We had a similar charger for our Xbox 360 Controller. The Power A charger changed the direction of the the second controller to face the other controller for the Xbox One. This small change is annoying for us since we had to modify our gaming cabinet. Other than the change on how controller are placed in the charger, the Power A charger for Xbox one is still a great charger. They usually take about an hour to charge and the LED light lets you know when the controller is full charged. Its nice and simple.

I recently bought a new iMac with the track pad. But I missed having a mouse. I bought the Apple Magic Wireless Laser Mouse with gesture control. I got a mouse with the gesture controls of my trackpad. Now you don't get all the gestures that comes with the trackpad. But those few extra gestures I don't use. There is an added benefit, this mouse works with my Macbook Pro and with my Alienware computer.

With these additions, the DualShock 4 Controller becomes an extension of your brain, turning every move of your fingers into an accurate performance in the game — and in your hands, accurate performance can only mean victory.How gamers use a controller is being redefined right before our very eyes as the next generation of consoles also redefines many other aspects of gaming.

The new PS controller that comes with the PS4 is a great upgrade. We loved the dual shock controller before it came with a track pad. The track pad makes it easy to type in information on your PS4. It is just like using swift-keys on my tablet. Another plus with the new PS controller is it's light bar. It changes colors based on what's going on in the game. The controller is also easier to hold for people with small hands. My wife says it is a big difference from the PS3 controller. She is looking forward to the red color coming out.

Bose - SoundTouch 10 Wireless Speaker - Black
The SoundTouch; 10 wireless music system is the easiest way to play music throughout your home. Plus, it's so small, you can place it just about anywhere to stream millions of songs from music services, Internet radio stations and your stored music library - all with full, rich sound. You can even play your favorite music instantly, without a phone or tablet. Simply press one of six presets on the speaker or remote, and the music starts.
How loud is it
I own 3 different Bose SoundTouch Speakers and amp. The SoundTouch 10 is plenty loud enough for my wife's office. She says she never turn it up past 1/4 of the way up. Our SoundTouch 20 is in our kitchen area which is about 14 feet by 20 feet and it never goes past 1/4 volume because past that it gets too loud. Finally, we replaced our whole house audio system (which includes the Living room, Famlily Room, Master Bedroom and Master Bathroom) with Bose SoundTouch SA-5 amps. SA-5 can really pump up the volume on in-ceiling speakers (some Bose and some SoundCraft Speakers).

Can I stream music using my ipad? Does the speaker "go to sleep"? I want to use this as my stereo system for my business so I'll be turning it on in the morning and not touching it until the end of the day. Is this going to work the way I want it to?
You can use this with your iPad. I use my iPad most of the time. There is no "Goto to sleep mode" yet according to the Bose Forums, but the developers say it is coming soon. I have the SmartThings home automation system which I paired with my Bose SoundTouch System (I own SoundTouch SA-5, 10 and 20). Samsung SmartThings will turn off my Bose SoundTouch system at night.

How does the light strip obtain power?
Does the light strip plug into an outlet or is it hard-wired?
The Osram Lightify Flex plugs into an outlet. The part that plus into the outlet is about the size of a phone charger.

I had the same problem with my Belkin Camera. A friend told me to buy a wifi range extender. I bought the Belkin range extender and I have had no problems with it since. I am sure any range extender will work. My camera was over 50 feet from the Router and had to penetrate four rooms

Will it be ok outdoors overnite w/ humidity/ saw nothing about being indoor/outdoor.
The Samsung memory card should have no problems with mild weather or moisture. My Job requires I work out doors sometimes. One rain storm, I forgot my rain slicker. My pants got soaked and I had my phone in pocket. I was out in the rain for over 2 hours. My phone was very wet. Both the phone and memory card worked great during the rain and after I dried off.
