The Matrix came along at just the right time in the history of the DVD format. With its incredible action scenes and futuristic plot, it proved to be a tremendous boost for sales of DVD players and proof of the power of DVD to present a movie accurately. The 2.35:1 widescreen presentation is a crystal clear translation of the movie's dark imagery. While there may be a lack of resolution in background images, the stylish visuals in the foreground draw all of the attention, along with the powerful, seat-rocking sound effects of Dolby Digital mix. Special features are mildly entertaining. The cast/crew commentary is by Carrie-Anne Moss, visual effects supervisor John Gaeta, and editor Zach Staeberg, and often leans toward the technical side of the production. The music-only "Audio Track" is for fans of the soundtrack only, and the making-of documentary is 25 minutes of hyperbole. "Taking the red pill" leads to a six-minute overview of the technical sides of "bullet-time," a special-effect element found in the film. The "Follow the White Rabbit" feature brings a rabbit icon to the screen during scenes of heavy special effects; hitting "enter" leads to behind-the-scenes footage of the scene in question and then places viewers back into the scene of the movie. Filmographies of cast and crew are also present. Instant access to all of the DVD's 38 chapters is available via the "Scene Access" menu, making this disc an entirely successful presentation of a fun film.

Whynter - 70-Pint Portable Dehumidifier - White
Whynter RPD-702WP 70-Pint Portable Dehumidifier: Maintain the climate in your basement, attic or other indoor space with this portable dehumidifier. Humidity sensors, a 24-hour timer, and electronic controls help balance moisture levels.
Just had this for approx.. a month, & so far does the job. Not too noisy, strong fan, though really can't tell the difference between the 2-speeds. When on low it doesn't really drop down too much in speed. Nice looking unit. Easy to use. Wish it would shut off longer once it acquires the correct temp.

Smartboost technology amplifies weak signals so that you can pick up television stations up to 40 miles away from the broadcast tower. Enjoy both UHF and VHF stations without paid television subscriptions with this RCA amplified indoor antenna.
Very good reception, & I get more channels than when I had basic cable. Though, sometimes when the weather is really bad, I get the "distortion" pixels on some stations, not all-mainly channel 8-Fox. I live in a suburban area, so I knew I'd get good reception, just didn't know how many channels I'd receive. For the price it's a good choice & value.

HP - LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw Wireless Black-and-White All-in-One Laser Printer - Black
HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw All-in-One Printer: Make sure your office runs efficiently with this all-in-one printer that handles your printing, copying, scanning and faxing jobs for you. Just connect your computer or mobile device using the printer's built-in Wi-Fi to get started.
What's great about it: good price, easy to set up, nice compact size, easy to use, is of course, an HP product
What's not so great: nothing
Love my Hp laserjet printer, just had it for only a month so far. I have an older HP laserjet printer, but couldn't update it on my new mini mac-no driver support. I still have my old printer-it's still printing great with no problems since I purchased it in 2005. This is why I went with HP-reliable. (I just hope that HP will support this one a little longer.) Printing is beautiful & fast. Haven't done a whole lot of other stuff with it. It's great having a wireless printer. Don't know about ink consumption....but is energy certified. It has a flat-bed scanner which my old one doesn't.

can I connect to my sony cordless earphones with this cable
I don't see why not. Just plug one end-the thinner plug into your earphones & the other red/white plugs into your TV-assuming you have ports for this.
