 The Goldbergs: The Complete First Season [3 Discs] [DVD]
The Goldbergs: The Complete First Season [3 Discs] [DVD]
Set in the 1980s, this sitcom follows 11-year-old Adam (Sean Giambrone) as he documents the many goings-on of his family using a trusty video camera. Among his recordings include the antics of his over-the-top mother (Wendi McLendon Covey), hot-tempered dad (Jeff Garlin), and his sister and brother (Hayley Orrantia, Troy Gentile). Rounding out the cast is George Segal as an ultra-suave Reagan-era grandfather.

This show is our new favorite TV show for the year. It has some sweet nostalgic moments for any 80s and early 90s kid. Hilariously dysfunctional family with a story that still ends with kind, warm, family moments.

This is very simple to use and having a display on the band is just what I was looking for. Having the time on my wrist makes it worth wearing. Only drawback is the app. It needs work. The sleep tracking is also very basic. Not as intuitive as some of the others.

Video Review:
(click to see the video)
User submitted video
What's great about it: Voice acting, songs, and animation
What's not so great: Portrayal of women and story
Frozen has warmed the hearts of households across the globe. Frozen is one of the best attempts Disney has made in recent history at making animated musicals. The songs are great and will transition to the stage well. The largest issue I had with the movie was the overall storyline. From the rock trolls who seem unneeded to the death of the sister's parents to the reconciliation between the two sisters. The movie wraps up too quickly and seems rushed instead of telling the whole story. I was also ashamed at the portrayal of women in the movie. I am not typically a person who cares too much about this stuff, but it was laughable in this film. Pay attention to how Elsa moves through the movie. Especially, during "Let it Go." The only two women who look "beautiful" in the movie are Elsa and Anna. All other background female characters look more Scandinavian.

WD - My Passport for Mac 1TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Silver
Take up to 1TB of files on the go with this WD My Passport for Mac external hard drive, which features password protection and hardware encryption to protect your data. The USB 3.0 interface simplifies connection to your MacBook® or MacBook Air®.
 

Can one drive be used to back up multiple computers each using Time Machine?

We have two laptops and a desktop computer in one house on one WiFi system, will one external drive work for all three computers as a system backup or does each computer need their own hard drive?
You can use one external hard drive to back-up multiple computers if you partition the hard drive. If you're using time machine, I assume you're backing up Macs. Here is a link to walk you through partitioning your hard drive: http://macs.about.com/od/applications/ss/diskutilitypart.htm

If this isn't the route you want to go, I'd recommend buying an external drive for each computer.
