What's great about it: The size and it's an Apple.
What's not so great: The price is still too high compared to the competition.
I love Apple products but they don't always lead the pack like they use to do. I been waiting a couple of years for a smaller tablet like my friends' 7 and 8 inch android tablets. I am glad they finally made the Mini iPad. It is perfect size for travel. I use it while I am waiting at the airport or visiting Starbucks. It is small and easy to carry around with you.
This product is... A nice compact size, Sharp graphics, Great screen size, Comfortable to hold
About me... Basic web surfing & emails, retired, Comfortable with technology

What's great about it: easy to setup and access
What's not so great: delay in motion captured
I would of given this camera a four or even a five if it was not for the delay in capturing the picture after it detects motion. The person is usually out of the frame when the camera finally takes the shot. We estimated there is a five to seven second delay between the camera detecting the motion and the camera taking the picture. We own two Belkin Netcams and both have the same delay. Other than the delay, its a good camera for a $100 security camera.
This product has... Adequate viewing area
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: nothing
The HTC One is the phone I always wanted. I was satisfied with iphone for several years because it was as close as I could get to the perfect phone. Then I played with a friends HTC One phone and I was hooked. I sold my iPhone 4s. My teenager did even want my old iphone. HTC One is so easy to operate and customize. The screen is the right size for me. The Beats Audio is great. I don't need an external speaker or bluetooth speaker. Android finally has a great OS. I love 4.3. This is my perfect phone. Forget Apples high prices, strictions and funky toon style interface.
This product is... Easy navigation, Replaced my camera, Good video quality, replaced my portable speaker
About me... My phone is my life, Heavy apps user, Need phone to keep me organized

What's great about it: the variety of channels and most of these are free
What's not so great: nothing so far
I have owned an apple TV for a couple of years. Apple TV was so limited on what you can play and most shows and programs apple charged you to watch.
The roku has more variety of channels, shows and programs which most are free. The interface is so easy to use.
I highly recommend it to all my friends and family.

Ring - Alarm Starter Home Security Kit (1st Gen) - White
Only @ Best Buy When armed, the Ring Alarm Security Kit sends notifications to your phone and tablet whenever doors or windows open and when motion is detected at home. It lets you control your entire home security system with one simple app, and it’s fully customizable to fit any house or apartment. It also has a Panic Mode feature, which allows you to dispatch emergency services right from your Keypad. With optional 24/7 professional monitoring for only $10 a month, whole-home security has never been this affordable.
This originally came with the solar sign and an indoor camera. Why does this package no longer include either?
Bose - SoundTouch® Wireless Link adapter - Black
You love your current speakers. But there’s a world of wireless music they just can’t access. Until now. Transform your stereo or home theater system by adding the SoundTouch® Wireless Link adapter and stream music from your home Wi-Fi® or favorite Bluetooth® devices. Setup is simple. Use the SoundTouch® app to control your music easily through your phone or tablet. You can even play music all throughout your home by expanding with other SoundTouch® speakers. They all work together to play the same music in every room, or different music in different rooms.
I have a CineMate 2.1 home theater system (2 speakers and subwoofer) and a Soundtouch 300, can I use the Soundtouch adapter to run them together
Short answer is yes! I own an Onkyo NR-TX 636 Receiver which I have the SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter connected to through the RCA cable. Plus I own SoundTouch 120, two 10's and 20 as well as the link adapter. They all work great together throughout my home.
You can hook up your CineMate 2.1 through the RCA cable on the back of your headunit. All the cables are include in the box of the adapter including the RCA cable adapter. Below is from Bose Website concerning the SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter working with older Bose systems.
"The adapter has three common outputs (optical, AUX and RCA), so anything that supports one of them can become a SoundTouch wireless music system. Most stereo systems, home theater systems and docking speakers are compatible—so chances are, what you have in your living room will work after a quick plug-in and setup. Already own a Bose system? Many of them are compatible, too, including most Lifestyle, CineMate, Wave, SoundDock and SoundLink products."
I hope this helps.
PS I own two SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapters, one is in my son's room.

Philips - Hue LightStrip Plus Extension - Multicolor
Extend your existing Philips Lightstrip Plus with this Philips LED Lightstrip extension. More than 16 million color options help you create the right mood in any room, and brightness control lets you use light for visibility, decoration or relaxation. Sync this 1m Philips LED Lightstrip extension with movies or music to add to the fun.
How does this light strip attach to the wall?
I used Gardner Bender 1/2-in Plastic Insulated Cable Staples for installing behind my bookshelves. The 3m tape does not work when it gets hot and starts to peel from the wall. Still use the 3m tape on the back but every 3 feet place a staple. Do not staple through the strip because it will break the wires inside.

how many feet does the speaker connect to my apple , my kitchen is very far from my terrace .. I want to know if it will suit for a 30 ft by 30 ft terrace. how many hours in a row it play ..I have it , how many hours to charge.....
my quest why use bluetooth when app on your apple product can connect via wifi. Yes my son plays songs from his iPhone to our Bose SoundTouch Speaker 20 in the Kitchen, he will sometimes forget he has it in his iPhone in his pocket and run outside to the patio which is over 40 feet away. It's on the patio where it starts loosing connection. But if he stays in our house( which is over 2000 sqft), he never loose connection with Bose SoundTouch Speakers.
