Will smith and son star in this alien vs human Sifi movie. Not always realistic in how the plot flows but a great finish

Good basic power strip. Look is very cheap and doesn't look as good as the previous dynex model or whatever the previous best buy company was before they merged.

You can tell it is light plastic and feels like it might break easily but it gets the job done. Using it with a Macbook Air. If I had the money I'd grab the OEM Apple version.

What's not so great: backdoors probably installed for isp
Great basic modem and easy to install. Only concern is if there is another backdoor probably installed where your isp can access it and make changes without permission.

What's great about it: basic and works well
What's not so great: doesn't have usb ports or surge protector lights
This is a great basic power strip for plugging in cellphones and laptops. I'm using it to be able to plug in phones etc next to my couch so we don't always have to reach around and risk our cords bending and fraying. It matches the black leather and doesn't stand out. Guests really like the easy access to plug things in while hanging out.

 Fight Club [DVD] [1999]
Fight Club [DVD] [1999]
David Fincher's controversial Fight Club has had a few incarnations on DVD. This release offers a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include four different commentary tracks. David Fincher performs one of the tracks solo. He is joined by actors Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter on another track. The screenwriter Jim Uhls can be heard with the author of the original novel, Chuck Palahniuk. Lastly, a technical commentary track consists of many of the people who worked behind the camera. This is a great disc from 20th Century Fox.

I'm looking for NAS storage that is compatible with both pc and mac

I own a Mac and my husband has a PC. This says that you have to reformat this device to use it with a Mac. Is there a way to use it with both a Mac and a PC?
It looks like this tread is under a USB drive. Are you thinking of plugging this into a router and accessing over the network or are you wanting a product like the seagate central?

To answer your question though it can be used by both depending on if it is formatted properly. Example format it with fat not ntfs. You may still run into problems though if you want to save files larger than 2 gb

USB port

Can this also be used with a usb port on the computer?
You can plug an external USB drive into it and transfer files via ssh in terminal or command promt. Use google to look up how if needed
