Greatest Thermal mug I've ever owned. Drop it, tip it, and nothing comes out. Press the gold button 4 hours later to have hot coffee. The exterior never sweats, or gets hot. Not all thermal mugs are equal. Keurig is the best!

Founded and led by Jonathan Irons, perhaps the most powerful man in the world, Atlas Corporation represents the evolution of modern combat. Under the oversight of Irons and men like him, the rules of warfare have been completely rewritten, and national borders change with the demands of the highest bidders. Do you have what it takes to navigate this ever-changing military landscape and answer the Call of Duty?The latest installment in the popular combat series, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare plunges you into the combat of the future, orchestrated and fought by PMCs with the latest technology in armor, weaponry and tactics. Enter the world of Jonathan Irons — the founder and president of the world's most dominant PMC, Atlas Corporation — in a powerful performance by Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey. Step onto the battlefield in a powerful exoskeleton that provides a massive force multiplier, delivers strategic freedom and enhances even the most adept soldier's abilities with optimized movement, jumping and grappling, covert cloaking abilities and biomechanics that take your strength, awareness, endurance and speed to the next level. Destroy opposing forces with an advanced arsenal that allows you to dominate the battlefield and all-new equipment, abilities and perks that put you at the forefront of combat technology. Conduct missions with hoverbikes, highly specialized drones and other new vehicles that enhance your mobility. Attack enemy forces with tried-and-true standard ammunition or step up your assault with new directed-energy weapons. The future of war is upon you — are you ready to play your part?

From Ghost to this is a big step up. The Weapons are more futuristic and tend to be giltchy. Maps are decent. Storyline can drag at times. Overall a winner.

I got this on Black Friday for 69.00, got 2 more 20 mins later. Can't beat the price. Picture is perfect with the LED LCD, better than most brands for picture quality.

I have owned the 7.0 plus tablet, and I had given it to my son-in-law. I was on the fence about a new one to get, the 10.1 or the 8.4 pro. The 8.4 won out, I had an ipad, and holding it in one hand longer than 10 mins....well just try walking around holding a china dinner plate, same size and weight. Tapping a ipad on the counter sounds just like a dinner plate, tink tink. The 8.4 pro has a HD screen, it is comfortable to hold i one hand, the leather back gives it a posh feel. High end it was it says, Battery life is better than my 7.0 plus, and all the same features have been passed on to this device. Will try not to get one for my wife, lol.

What's great about it: the roller ball
What's not so great: not windows friendly
The mouse for apple is a great styled device, truly for a mac. The ball in the center acts as a scroll wheel, and it will send the courser any direction that goes every which way you spin it, so the need for the mouse to slide around is not needed.

What's great about it: Island keys
What's not so great: none
The new Mac keyboard is awesome. I wish that Windows would make a sleek keyboard like this, with the USB ports underneath the top portion.
The Island keys are a new standard, keeping the keys apart so your fingers don't overlap.

What's great about it: Easy to stream, portable, even a 4 year old can do it!
What's not so great: none
If you have wondered about this device, now is the time to act. With the latest app that allows you to mirror what is on your screen/ cell phone to the tv. Everything! Videos, personally shot with your phone, you are not limited to You Tube videos or Hulu. My grandson is 4, he uses my cell phone to stream Mother Goose Club videos to the chromecast....That alone is worth the 35 bucks.Lol

How to output the sound when connecting chromcast to a monitor without built-in speaker?

I am trying to chromcast the content from laptop to my 27inch monitor, and the computer monitor doesn't have built-in speaker. I am not able to make the sound work. Is there any workaround?
Thanks.
Unless your monitor has speaker inputs like on some dell units, no!
