16 years after Poison!! A must have for NE fans. This feels like the true follow up to Poison. Run is a string first single and the SWV ballad, Finally, is smooth. The entire CD is a good listen. No tracks I've found myself skipping. Ten tracks, I could have used one more ballad.

I used the trial version and was pleased with the results. The full version offers great protection from Malware infected sites and scans hardware for malware.
Scans are quick and the web protection is unobtrusive; other than the notification in the tray there's zero indication its running. The free version is nice but the added web protection is worth the cost of the program. There are custom options that are easily accessible and not burried deep in sub-menus.
I compared with AVG and Webroot and decided to go with Malwarebytes. Webroot is decent but didn't feel as comprehensive and AVG's recent exploit eliminated them from consideration.

Transformers Devastation - PlayStation 4
The TRANSFORMERS are back, and this time they're in the hands of acclaimed developer PlatinumGames, who have combined their over-the-top brawler action with comic book-inspired art to create a TRANSFORMERS game like none other.

I was really stoked about this coming out. The graphics are flawless. The characters have the voices from the original Transformers cartoon. Very nice touch. The gameplay moves too quick and at times it's hard to appreciate the graphics.
Noticed it was priced $10 cheaper at launch than most games but chalked that up to the limited marketing the game received.
My 7 year old son has enjoyed playing it more than me. I gets most kicks out of transforming to hear the sound effect "eh ew eh eh eh ew" ....classic!!

Bought this because I took Plex server down for a a few weeks and bought this to have mobile access to a few movies without downloading directly to my phone. Data transfer was quick using Windows 10 and the size of the USB stick is compact.. One end of the housing has a textured coating, the other end is smooth plastic. Both USB ends are controlled with a small plastic knob that slides along the side of the stick to extend either the micro USB or male USB end.

Very nice design with a low profile. Charging is quick just make sure you have the phone placed on the pad correctly. I've made the mistake several times of placing the phone without waiting for the blue charging indicator and wake up to a dead phone.
There are knockoffs online with a similar design but the build quality may not be as nice as this Samsung. It fits nicely on my nightstand and the blue charging indicator is a soft blue LED that doesn't blare at you in the middle of the night. One flaw is that once the phone teachers a full charge there is a cutoff and it won't auto charge if you leave the phone in place and the battery drains.. Very convenient if you tire of plugging your phone in. If nice to have options.

Pretty much Injustice. Moves are performed the same way. Graphics come as expected on the XBox One. Finishing moves are gory...no other way to describe. May not be suitable for younger kids.
Gameplay is nice and the campaign follows a storyline. I have yet to play the multiplayer online yet but friends who have like it. Not much replay value, but I'm more of a Madden guy.

Purchased for my son to use with his new computer.
Setup was a breeze and the picture quality looks good. Looked better than the comparable Samsung model. The colors on the LG appeared sharper and overall picture quality seemed better.
It has been on-sale for as low as $99 in 2015.

Purchased as a stocking stuffer for my Boys. The extra $5 card is a good ace in the hole to incentivize them down the road.
Always helps to have extra cards around to keep from taking a hit on a credit card on Live.

Images for this Review
(click to see full-size image)
I was totally awed by the design and qHD screen on the Venue 7840. The screen is the best display I have seen on an Android tablet. I looked at the Samsung Tab Pro 8.4, but TouchWiz was a deal-breaker. I was curious about performance with the Intel Atom chip and it has not disappointed.
The is slight lag, but I suspect this may be more Kit Kat related. Apparently Dell has not provided a release date for Lollipop. The camera is a bit gimmicky, the features advertised in the Intel commercial are NOT functional in the software. I found this to be odd. Sony just got popped for advertising unavailable features on the PS Vita. Not that I would ever use the feature, but it was a bummer when I went to test it out only to receive a message that it was not yet available.
The 16GB has not been an issue but the is a MicroSD card to expand. I have not had tom use it yet.
The chin on the 7840 houses speakers and the front-facing camera. It's a little odd but is a good compromise for the thin bezel on the sides and top. It comes in handy holding it landscape.
I use the tablet primarily at right as a reader or as a second screen when I don't wanna watch dumb reality shows the wife is watching. If she gripes about Sports or Sci-Fi I'm watching, the 7840 gives me the option to abdicate and give her the bedroom TV. Live to die another day. Thanks Dell!!

My wife upgraded after knocking me the past 2 years for carrying an Android with a 4.7" screen. Oh how one knocks something when they can't have it. Apple bashing aside they have done a decent job with the hardware. The build quality is solid and the screen is clear, though lagging behind offerings from competitors.
I have only used the hardware sparingly when troubleshooting WiFi issues for her. While iOS is no longer my cup of tea, the larger screen, speedy processor and thin build of the handset will keep Apple relevant and allow them to go toe to toe with Android offerings.

Can it be used for handwriting to text? Best stylus and app?
Got this for Father's day, haven't opened the box. Really wanted something that could be used at the office for note taking and then saved as text file, not seeing that this tablet can do that and the only associated stylus I've seen is one of the fat-round ones to replace a finger, nothing precise like a pen.
Cannot use like the SamsungbNote series. I'm sure there are note apps that allow handwriting but I have never used one. The device is worth is for the screen alone. Processor is quick and Dell released Lollipop update this past summer. Open thebbox, you won't be disappointed. It's the perfect size and battery life is strong.

Microsoft - Touch Cover 2 - Charcoal
With a magnetic connection, this Microsoft Touch Cover 2 N3W-00001 keyboard quickly and easily attaches to your Microsoft Surface tablet. The pressure-sensitive keys intelligently sense when you're deliberately typing to help prevent accidental input.
I am having trouble lately with the keypad freezing up. Why does this happen?
I experienced freezing on the battery cover and solved by re-attaching the keyboard. I suspect the contacts come loose when moving around. I experience it when using it in bed lying down and it's in an award position.

Is it compatible with microsoft office?
It says it comes included with office 365 but i thought that was just for laptops.
It was bundled with an Office 365 subscription a few weeks ago. You can use office on it. It is still limited. Office Mobile is OK on Android. I thought MS announced they were releasing separate apps but I have not seen them in the Play Store.

Is it gud for gaming?
Compared to Nvidia Shield and Nexus 9(with Tegra k1), is it gud for gaming??
I would go with the Shield if gaming is your primary use. I have not played any games on the 7840 yet. The screen is better on the 7840 but the Tetra X1 in the Shield is geared for gamers.

I have At& T and I am up for an upgrade. Can I trade in my iPhone 4 32gb toward a new iPhone 6 64gb with a 2 yr contract? how much will be the difference?
Thanks, Ed

Better to sell the old phone privately. You'll probably get more. You can trade it into Best Buy if you don't want the hassle of dealing with a private sale.
