After a storm fried my old Linksys router (even through the UPS system) I needed a quick replacement that didn't make me reconfigure everything in the whole house. This replacement was absolutely seamless. Works perfectly, great signal and seems even more solid than it's older version.

We needed to replace the rechargeable batteries in a couple of WII controllers. This charging station included both batteries and a new recharging base station. Best part is that this cost quite a bit less than two new rechargeable OEM batteries.

My annual physical included a recommendation to measure my blood pressure regularly. We took out the old manual pump up cuff and tried, but it's very hard to take your own blood pressure. We bought the Withings Smart Body Analyzer, aka scale, and were very impressed with the ease of setup and use.
When we read about the Withings wireless blood pressure devise, we checked it out, read the reviews, and were very impressed. So we bought one, and now used each morning. I like the way the iPhone app keeps track of the measurements, and I can easily share them with my Dr.
I recommended this to a friend, he bought one, and now his office mates want to get one too. We're very pleased and plan to keep using this each morning.

This was a carefully considered purchase as a part of my goal to get more healthy. This wasn't a "New Year's Resolution" but a part of a long term plan to get healthy after years of slacking off. This "scale" is a very good tool to help in this plan. It is outstanding to be able to see and track physical parameters on a daily basis, and it a very good motivator to stay on track. I definitely recommend this body analyzer, aka scale.

I needed a way to keep my iPhone mounted in my car but didn't want to put a suction cup mount on the windshield. This clips onto one of the vents and puts the phone right about where a GPS screen should be. Easy to install and super easy to use.

Saw a preview of Jurassic World and decided to buy the 3D version. After watching it my impression is this is the best Jurassic movie ever, and the 3D effects are just amazing.

I needed to replace an older THX certified set of speakers for my computer and after reviewing many (20 to 30?) decided the Klipsch system would be just right. Easy to install and set up, with outstanding sound.

The upstairs CO/Smoke Detector was getting old and time to replace, so I researched products and decided on the Nest Protect. It was super easy to install and connect to our house WIFI network, and showed up immediately on the Nest app. The Nest Protect monitors it's status each day, and sends a monthly complete self check report. The built-in night light is a great bonus!

I wanted to upgrade from a programmable thermostat that was usually a complete pain to program and maintain. Each season needed a complete reprogramming, and every time I needed to make a change I had to clone the change into each day so the settings were consistent. No More! The Nest thermostat is really easy to program and it learns what I like without having to program each day's multiple settings. Plus it senses when I'm not on the floor and sets the temps for me. And it reads the outside temperatures and uses that to adjust the temperature inside. Very cool! And it looks very nice as well.

External SSD Hard Drive

I just finished a search of BestBuy and could not find any external SSD hard drives for a desktop PC (portable not necessary). Lots of external hard drives shown, but none show as SSD. Suggestions please?
Sure - buy an external enclosure and an SSD. Pop the drive into the enclosure, hook it up via the USB connection, and then partition/format the drive any way you need. At the moment, a 1TB SSD is the largest I know of that's commercially available, but I'm sure larger drives are coming soon.

which hard drive is best for a mac lap top?

I'm guessing from your question you want to replace an existing hard drive on your MAC. I would highly recommend using a solid state drive - they're faster and much better performing. There are a number of SSDs on the market so it's become a matter of preference. I just installed a 1TB SSD and it's awesome. Check the support web sites for the manufacturer you like, buy the drive and then follow their install instructions to the letter.

Expand your DVR storage so you can record more of your favorite TV shows. Or, transfer and store videos from your compatible camcorder to free up space for more recording. Connect the drive to a game console, Blu-ray Disc player or media player, like one from the WD TV family, to smoothly stream video to your big screen TV. It's the perfect solution for your video storage and playback needs.
 

change tv carriers

I had purshased a WD - My Book AV 1TB USB 2.0 and e-sata expander WDBABT0010HBK to use for FIOS tv and it became necessary to change to directv.
Question: will I be able to view movies/programs on my tv the recordings I had in the expander????
Will I be able to use the expander on Directv system to record movies/programs????
Very grateful for an answer.....
It is very unlikely you will be able to view material you recorded on this WD drive while using a FIOS box when you change to DirecTV. And the bad news is that you probably cannot plug the My Book into someone else's FIOS box and be able to see the recorded material either. Don't know if you can use the MyBook on DirecTV, but you should be able to find that out on their web site - search support for MyBook and see what others have posted.
