iPhone 6S Plus is the Top tier Smart phone from Apple till date.
It's large screen and sleek farm factor is Just Awesome.
May not fit in all pockets because of the size. But that doesn't matter for one who like large screen.

Great First Person Shooter Game. Great Graphics, Nice Story. Often intense to play. You have to choose Amita and Sabal.
If you know Hindi then it'll be lot of fun. if you don't know, still it's fun. You'll learn bad words easily which I don't like. Also skinning animals is pretty gross.
Surprised to hear Tamil Song in the game. Nepal is no where near to Tamil Nadu, Not sure how Tamil song played there.
Give a Try! You'll love it.

Am new to Console Gaming (Not to PC Games). First I thought It'll be like NFS (PC version) Just race with other cars. But it's different, you can choose career as a Cop or Con.
As Cop you can chase outlaws and bust them. As Con you can race with other drivers and escape from Cop chase.
Decent game, the Graphics could've been different. It's very dull and dark.
Give a Try!

I bought XBox One few months back (Dec 2015) and played Just Cause 3, Far Cry 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Halo 5. I liked Just Cause 3 and Far Cry 4. Wanted to try First Person Shooter game and got BattleField 4. This is the Best Intense Game. Initially It's very difficult to cross levels. But when you cross 2 levels then you'll know the trick. It's Medium Difficult to Play for me.
Do you own XBox One and like Action Games? then get this one.

The installation took nearly an hour (Even with Disc.) I thought of abort the installation and try another game. But I left the installation to continue since I got some other work. Finally I got installed when I return.
Pros:
+ Easy : Am totally new to XBox, But am able to catch the game pretty fast and able to play well. Kudos to Square Enix.
+ Graphics : The Graphics is Totally Awesome. Beginner to Pro, No Matter who, you'll love it.
+ Experience : The Grapple and Parachute ride is So COOOOL. Sniper and great weapons increase the interest. Can't fly anywhere and watch / fight. Can hijack any vehicle and roam.
+ Addictive : It's very Addictive game. Once you start playing it then you won't keep the controller down.
Cons:
- Installation Time: The time to install is very long even with Physical Disc. I felt it's too slow to install.
- Load Time : The load time for each mission is more or less 2-5 minutes. Definitely it should be reduced.
This is the Best Game I've ever played in XBox One among couple of titles. Definitely recommended!.

Received the unit few days back. Everything works perfect. Here the Pros & Cons.
Pros
+ Kinect : Easy to control XBox and TV with voice. The Dance / Fitness games are fun. Practicing Fantasia (got from Library) / Lets Dance 2014 (bought from BBuy).
+ Hi-Fi Games : Games are so refined and next level in Graphics/FX. Trying to Play F1 2015. It takes time for newbies. Have to try the Top Rated Games (Halo 5, Just Cause, Gears of War, Tomb Raider). Am too a Beginner.
+ Smart TV Apps : If you have Non-Smart TV then this will make your TV Smart (NetFlix, HBO Go, you name it.).
+ One Drive : I have lot of media on my One Drive. XBox fetches the content with my live id. Watching Photos with controller is awesome. Especially Zoom and Pan the images via RT, LT.
+ Blu-Ray : XBox can play Bluray discs. Need to install Bluray app. It's Free.
+ Free Games : Xbox has couple of free games on App store. I really like "Airmech Arena". It's online only game. But very good to play.
+ Design: The console design/Matte finish is great. Has plenty of vents for air flow. Fits well on my TV stand.
+ 360 games : MS released patch to play old 360 Games on XBox one. At present it has couple of games. Expecting MS will release more by 2016.
+ Motion Feedback : MS fixed rotors inside Game controller for players to feel motion feedback. It's fun when playing Race Games like F1, NFS.
Cons
- Time to setup : It took more than 20 minutes to setup for the first time. It downloads over 2 GB firmware update for XBox, Kinect and Controller.
- Controller pair : At first the controller didn't get pair and xbox light was blinking for sometime. Then I searched for solution on google. Had to press the pair button on XBox console (on side above USB Port) and press Pair button on front side of controller. If you are familiar with XBox then it's not an issue.
- Power Brick : Not sure why the Power brick is really designed like Brick. It's so heavy and huge. Does it have internal fan to cool the circuits? :)
- Cables : The XBox Power cable and Kinect cable are so thick. For me, it's bit difficult to fit/hide in my TV stand. It's not big deal for many.
Overall I like it very much and recommend to those who looking for Gaming + Media Center console.

Amazon Fire TV Stick connects to your TV's HDMI port. Just grab and go to enjoy Netflix, Prime Instant Video, Hulu Plus, YouTube.com, music, and much more.
 

Connecting with othe devices

I am interested in the Fire Stick, but not sure how I would connect. My TV has only one HDMI port which is already being used (connection to cable DVR, I think). How would I connect the Fire Stick. Will a HDMI splitter work?
HDMI switch will work.

Bluetooth Versus USB Wireless

I have a Logitech USB wireless mouse and keyboard for my old laptop which does not have Bluetooth. I have a new Surface and a Bluetooth mouse for it. I would like to get a Bluetooth keyboard WITH the numeric keypad all in one unit for the surface but the only ones I find do not have the keypad ATTACHED (the keypads can be purchased separately or are separate units). I can use the USB keyboard with the Surface but I have to switch the USB receiver from the old laptop to the surface which I don't want to do as I may be using each interchangeably. I can get another USB keyboard for the Surface but then I will have two USB wireless devices going to two separate computers which may or may not cause problems (only the two keyboards would be USB wireless). I don't know why they don't make a full keyboard with Bluetooth but if anyone knows of one I would like to know. I guess my question is does anyone think having two USB wireless keyboards will be a problem? Thanks.
Bluetooth receiver in keyboard is not reliable as USB Receiver. So they manufacture keyboards with USB receiver. You can have 2 wireless keyboards for same PC/device. It'll accept input from both but not at the same time.
