This modem works well with my Cox service and the router I use. I get pretty high speeds through it. I have no problem streaming Hulu and Netflix in high def. My only complaint would be the lights on the front being extremely bright and shine through the white plastic quite a bit. If you have it in a dark room it is definitely noticeable.

This is the second case I have bought for m wife's Galaxy S5. It is well worth the money. My kids have manhandled it, thrown the phone on the ground multiple times and the case has taken the worst of it. It did start to crack around the edges of the case after a bit of abuse, but the cost of buying the case twice is far better than replacing the phone.

This is another Call of Duty, it play similar and has some updates/changes, but underneath it is the same basic game. If you like the other CoDs, then you'll enjoy this one as well.

I loved playing this game... so much to explore and taking over areas and bases is so much fun. I couldn't stop myself. I just wanted to find the next chest or conquer the next fortress. Co-op is hilarious and so much fun as well. I wouldn't miss this game if I were you!

I bought GTA 5 on the xbox 360 when it originally came out and it is well worth buying a second time on the new consoles. The game looks amazing and runs very well. First person mode is a joy to play with as well. Don't miss this one!

 PDP - Energizer 2X Charging System for PlayStation 4
PDP - Energizer 2X Charging System for PlayStation 4
Every gamer has been there. You're totally engrossed in a game, you've been playing for hours, and with every checkpoint that you cross, you get more involved in the storyline. You can barely force yourself to pause for a bathroom break and a drink of water, because you just have to find out what happens to your character. You come back to your couch, pick up the controller and prepare yourself to dive back into the game. That's when you realize that while you were gone, your controller's battery died. Avoid the devastating frustration that every gamer experiences when they encounter a dead controller with the help of this Energizer 2X Charging System.Keep your PlayStation 4 controllers juiced up and ready for use with this 2X conductive charger. When you forget to charge the controllers between games and the worst happens — it dies mid-action — rest assured knowing that the charging system's AC power adapter makes quick work out of powering the controller back up, so that you can get back in the game as soon as possible. Instead of anxiously awaiting the controller to reach full power, a simple glance at the green and red LED indicators will let you know the status of the charge. To stay in line with the sleek look of your gaming setup, the charging station features a matte and glossy black and chrome appearance that coordinates with the PlayStation 4. Don't let a dead controller get in the way of your game.
 
Great charger option for the PS4.

A buddy of mine told me about this product and he was correct. This item works well for charging your extra controllers and making sure you have a freshly charged unit at all times. The light indicators work well and are easy to see/read. The connection can be a bit hard at first, but as long as you are patient with it, you won't have any issues.

Elf is a great holiday movie that my family loves to watch, especially on Christmas. Will Farrell is great in this one and it is heartfelt.
The Blu-ray version looks great and sounds great. It's a must-buy.

I originally bought this Belkin cable to use for my HTC One M8 when plugging in to an AUX outlet on a car stereo... It fits the 3.5mm on the phone well, but unfortunately doesn't sit securely in the 3.5mm outlet in the car stereo. Otherwise it is a good quality, well built cable. It definitely doesn't feel cheap or feel like it would fall apart easily.

Samsung - 55" Class (54.6" Diag.) - LED - Curved - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV - with High Dynamic Range
Enjoy your favorite movies and shows with stunning detail with this Samsung curved 4K Ultra HD TV. This TV's curved design and wide 55-inch screen provide a panoramic experience, letting you immerse yourself in entertainment. This Samsung curved 4K Ultra HD TV also supports smart TV apps and includes a web browser, giving you lots of viewing options.
 

Could someone please tell me the width from outer edge of each of the 2 feet that support the tv to see if would fit on my tv stand. I know the width of the tv itself.

I use Rtings.com for all my reviews and calibration settings.
http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ks8500
Per their site, the width for the stand on the 55" is 43.3"
I own this tv and have an enclosed entertainment center, so my concern was the overall width, so I never measured the stand width personally.

HTC One (M8) Cell Phone for Sprint: With its brushed-metal design and wrap-around unibody frame, the HTC One (M8) is designed to fit beautifully in your hand. It's fun to use with amped up sound and a large Full HD touch screen, and intuitive gesture controls make it seem like your phone almost knows what you need before you do. Sprint Easy Pay option available in store. Learn more ›
 

Can this be updated to android lollipop OS?

Not sure if Sprint has released the update, but my HTC One M8 got the 5.0 Lollipop update a few weeks ago on Verizon, so it is compatible.
One word of caution, as I have seen with a few phones updated to Lollipop, it causes your battery to drain quicker than 4.4.4 did.
