One of the great things that Nintendo does is learn from their customers. They knew that we like to play with our older controllers and they also knew that some of us were looking for more than just button mashing fighting games and the added rounds like the board game mode reflect that.

Easy to set up, not too bulky and cumbersome. Good picture, just make sure you're using a good cable - bad cables can ruin any good screen.

I live in a townhouse-style apartment complex and there's a lot of walls to deal with, not to mention multiple wi-fi networks all around. The AirPort boosted our speed and clarity, reduced quality issues, was easy to set up, and works great on all our devices, not just Apple products.

What's great about it: Portable, good quality images for the price
What's not so great: Too difficult to connect to the phone, phone could not use wifi while using lens, no bluetooth
While it's a great idea, it needs more development. I returned this one because it just didn't live up to my expectations, but I may try another one in the future when the technology is a bit better.
It's portable and easy to use, once you finally get it connected. The connection takes forever and can be complicated because it connects via wi-fi, not bluetooth like I had hoped. That means while using the lens, you can't use your wi-fi for anything else.
You're also forced to use their app, which isn't the greatest thing in the world. It's slow to respond, so the delay between the action in front of the lens and the relay to the phone (viewfinder) is too much for action shots.
I do have to say the image quality was good for being an external lens, but honestly I could get comparable quality from my phone's on-board camera.
It was fun to play with but I couldn't justify keeping it when it didn't do anything amazing my current phone camera could not.

What's great about it: Reliable, easy to set up
What's not so great: Has to be replaced every 2-3 years
This is probably my 3rd or 4th APC UPS - not because they fail, but because the batteries do have a shelf life (as do all of them). I usually get 2-3 years out of mine and it runs constantly with a PC, modem, and monitors attached. We have at least a dozen brownouts or power outages a year, so it does its share of work! I'm satisfied with the battery life, and have found it's usually cheaper to wait for a new unit to go on sale rather than order a replacement battery. APC also has great warranty if their system does fail (it did on one rare occasion, but that was a direct lightning strike to my house, so it's not surprising). They replaced all my electronics completely!

What's great about it: Easy to set up, totally expands the way you use your TV
What's not so great: Interface response between your device and TV can be slow
Plug and play, it couldn't be easier than Google's Chromecast. If you ever thought it'd be nice to watch Internet videos on your TV, you'll be blown away. It's not nice, it's amazing. We host YouTube parties where we have friends add their favorite videos to a shared account and then just queue the whole favorites list up for the night. It's also great for co-working days and presentations for work. Only issue we've had is that interfacing between TV and smartphone can lag a little, and if you're accessing with multiple devices it can get confused, so it's best to just use one person as the controller.

 Mario Kart 8 - Nintendo Wii U
Mario Kart 8 - Nintendo Wii U
Players, start your engines. It's time to once again get on the racing circuit and compete against characters from the Mushroom Kingdom that you know and love. For the first time on the Nintendo Wii U console, you get to experience the racing action that has been a fan favorite for years, with a few added features to keep things interesting. So buckle up, push the pedal to the floor and get ready to turn this classic racing experience upside down.With new racing circuits, new gameplay features and a stunning new look, Mario Kart 8 certainly lives up to the legacy. The new anti-gravity feature will have you suddenly finding yourself racing on walls in a haunted mansion or upside-down over Princess Peach's castle — not to worry, the wheels on your kart will automatically rotate and shift into antigravity gear for an awesome racing element that allows mind-blowing new circuit designs. The previous games in the Mario Kart franchise introduced some amazing features, so they're back for more in Mario Kart 8. You can still see who's got what it takes in 12-player online competitive play. Hang gliders and motorbikes are back, as well as underwater racing and mid-air tricks, while Waluigi and Toadette rejoin the cast of characters. As the icing on the cake, the crisp, high-definition graphics and 60-frames-per-second frame rate of your Nintendo Wii U ensure a visually stunning and vibrant gameplay experience that you won't soon forget.

What's great about it: Adjustable for any skill level, online play means always someone to challenge
What's not so great: Battle mode, online connectivity can be a bit iffy, no more item stocking
Nice range of new characters and a lot more play in kart customization, but everything is unlocked much easier. Very innovative tracks, a lot of shortcuts and alternative routes, and many areas where skill and timing can give you a big advantage. Item balance is pretty good, but I miss being able to hold an item behind your kart and still stock another item.
My biggest gripe is that battle mode doesn't seem right with the closed-loop tracks rather than the mazes like previous versions of Mario Kart. You either have to camp, do a lot of U-turns, drive backwards, or just drive the course and hope you can catch up to someone.
This product has... Multiplayer capable, Great online features, Family friendly, Like to replay, Appropriate for young kids

What's great about it: Fits in my purse
What's not so great: A little small for more intense work like writing documents
It's everything you love about an iPad in a smaller format. It fits great in my purse which is good and bad. Great that it's more portable, but not so great for doing things that are best done on a larger screen like intensive writing or viewing small-font documents.
One word of caution - don't drop. This is our 2nd iPad mini because our first one when dropped (even in a case) cracked slightly near the home button. The crack slowly spread and repair was nearly the cost of the new one - thankfully we had AMEX protection so we replaced it.
This product is... responsive touch screen, Good sound quality, easy to set up, lightning fast, Perfect for Business, Variety of apps available, A nice compact size, Easy to navigate, Comfortable to hold
About me... Business Professional, traveler, Comfortable with technology

Does Chromecast increase data usage on cellular Wi-Fi?

I use a cellular carrier for my home Wi-Fi network. If I cast content already on my tablet, will this use any of my data allowance?
Most likely, yes. Both the Chromecast and the device you're casting from need to be on the same network. I'm not 100% certain which device actually streams the content, but given that both devices would be on your cellular hot spot, yes, whichever one pulls the video would be also eating up bandwidth.
