I bought it on sale for $800 and it came with a free case and extra battery ($100+ if sold separately). Then it dropped to $750 and best buy gave me a price adjustment. I took the camera with me to Japan and took maybe 1000 photos and maybe an 1/2 an hour - 1 hour's worth of videos while I was there. The camera gave me no problems, it took great videos, and amazing photos. I took a few pictures of wildlife I encountered over there and thought "I should submit these to national geographic!" I wish I knew more about photography so I could use the camera to it's full potential because there are a lot of features I didn't know about or how to use properly and numbers and settings I don't quite understand

it's comfortable to hold in my hands and I'm excited for the new games it will be getting. I was amazed when I put the zelda cartridge in and it was ready to play- I actually didn't do anything for almost a minute because I was waiting for some sort of pop up for an installation or update file or something that I'm so used to on my other consoles to interfere with my enjoyment of starting the game. The console doesn't heat up much unless you block the air intake vents and the fan is practically inaudible. The screen is very nice and the touch feature is also very responsive
So far I've taken it with me while waiting for a car wash and maintenance, and a few random excursions to show my friends and corkers. I'll probably take it to the airport with me on an upcoming trip.
I do think it's a little bare bones as a tablet because there aren't any media streaming apps or a web browser for me to use if I'm not in a gaming mood and I also wish the dock had some felt pads or something in the main slot so that you don't accidentally scratch the screen or back of the console. I haven't had the desire to try the grip that was included because even though the joycons are tiny they don't feel bad in my hands and I like that I can independently place my hands wherever they'd be most comfortable. They are awful to use sideways though. the L and R buttons are impossible to reach comfortably and after an hour my hands are exhausted. An 8 year old may not have this problem but as an adult I can't deal with it

Very comfortable to use. My one complaint is I think I would've liked if the +/- buttons had been switched with the screen cap and home buttons or in a completely different location because while playing Zelda I've probably taken 10 screenshots when I meant to open and check the map.

I was expecting something so bad that I didn't watch the movie when it came out in theaters. I watched it and don't know why it was hated by so many people or why they say it's the worst movie they've ever seen (I reserve that spot for transformers 4.)
The movie had some great funny moments and some that weren't funny at all. The visuals were fine, and the cameos by the original ghost busters were nice. It wasn't bad enough for me to tell someone not to watch it, but it wouldn't be at the top of my list of movies you should watch this weekend. If it's on TV or your favorite streaming service, check it out. Also, there were quite a few "I need 3d glasses to appreciate this scene" moments so maybe get the 3d version if you're considering the movie

The Order: 1886 Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
Courage and honor. The protection of the weak. Nobility and honesty. Skill in combat. Leadership. When you think of knights, there are a few qualities that come to mind. No matter who you ask, from nearly any time in the last handful of centuries, you'll get the same answers every time — because to earn the title of a knight, you must possess the nature of a hero. Would the same hold true in an alternate universe? Will the meaning of a knight always be upheld?See if you possess the qualities of a true knight and join The Order, an elite community of knights that has been engaged in a centuries-old war — a war that will determine the course of history forever. Even in this unique version of Victorian-era London, the knights fight on the side of good, attempting to protect man from a powerful and ancient foe. So harness the technologically advanced weaponry, gather your courage and fight for honor — it's your duty.

The game is ok. Too short and a little boring to be worth paying the full $60 for. but at $20 and especially $15 ($12 if youre gamer's club unlocked member) the game is worth buying. It's beautiful to look at even though my only complaint about graphics is that characters don't have reflections in mirrors. The story is decent and the different weapons are also pretty cool. There's not much variety in the combat/boss battles, but if they ever decide to make a sequel and learn/apply from what went wrong with this entry, I think there's a lot of potential for a great series.

Great features and somewhat easy to use. But I will say this for any students: I made it through all of college as an engineering student without ever using one. If you're good at math you won't need it. If you're bad at math it won't make you any better, it's just a crutch. Half the time you're not allowed to use fancy calculators during exams so your crutch has now ruined you. They also open up the door to cheating since you can write and store all kinds of things in them. If you're dedicated enough to read the instruction manual on how to use the calculator and then spend all that time writing your cheat sheets into it, just learn the material to begin with. you'll feel much better about yourself when you do well in class.

Images for this Review
(click to see full-size image)
I originally ordered the 65" X900c model, but once I looked into that one I saw all these issues with it so I decided to cancel it and change my order to this model instead. The image is great and since I was upgrading from a 46" the TV seems huge. As far as 4k I don't have much to watch so I can't comment on it, but all my video games look great and the colors are much better than on my old TV. I still have to set up some more apps and do a proper calibration, but the menu is quick and responsive. I like the big remote better than the small touch one, but I use them both. I'll type with the touch one and navigate menus with the large one. Oh, it did take quite a while to turn on the first time and update the firmware. There was a progress bar while downloading the update but not while it was installing so it was frustrating to not know how far along that part of the process was. The TV stand was nice because i mount my TV to my furniture, not the wall, and so when I needed to adjust where I installed the bracket on the TV I could just slide the TV back onto its stand, adjust the bracket, and then try putting it on the furniture mount again

the scale of the in game world is huge. i looked up and there were massive creatures flying overhead that at some point i guess i'll have to fight. the battle system seems really complex, or i'm just getting old. but whatever the case may be, I feel like I'll need a tutorial every time i go more than a week without playing

This movie is amazing precisely because of the cheesy one liners and predicable nature of it and the fact that it features several veterans in key roles. If you just go with it and BELIEVE it you'll love it so much more than sitting there looking for whats wrong or how ridiculous or how dumb the dialog can be.
The movie starts with a funny sequence and break-in of a convenience store that pretty much copies a break-in that happened in real life. Hilarious. Then the movie does it's thing and you just go along with it for an hour until the most epic ending battle pretty much ever (more on that later)
Prior to the ending is the scene where the game pretty much ties in the board game. The aliens and humans can only detect each other visually but the japanese captain comes up with this plan of tracking them via buoy displacement. So they plot a grid on the screen using the buoys as reference points and then start shooting blindly in anticipation of where the aliens are going. Pretty clever tie-in in my opinion. Then their destroyer gets blown up just as they've destroyed the last alien ship but they're not done yet, they have to blow up a satellite array on Oahu. The crew is in dismay and they're all like, "we don't even have a ship" when the mighty Mo comes into the picture and Hopper says "yes we do. we have a battleship". Then they're still reluctant about the plan "that thing's a museum" which he responds with "Not today" (YES!) Then the engineer is still all "i dont even know how to turn this thing on, and even if i did we dont have enough crew" and then the crusty old sea men from WW2 (they're real veterans by the way. YES!!) are all conveniently spaced around the ship and come to the rescue and AC/DC starts playing. EPIC!!! then i can't even finish this because you have to enjoy it for yourself. just watch it. There's another character (also a real veteran who lost both legs) who has a couple of amazing one liners like "you're going to aquire that courage" and "lets see if we can't buy the earth another day" PLEASE WATCH THIS MOVIE

Pros: Faster load times than the original 3ds, better 3d, game library, built in amiibo support, thumb pad
Con: The new location of the power button is terrible. Several times during gameplay I've accidentally hit the power button with my middle finger. I guess maybe it's because my hands are so large, but it's annoying. It has cost me several hours of gameplay

set up and delivery of television purchase
What specifically is included in the "free delivery and set up"? Does this include only bringing in the home, placing it on table, etc. and plugging it in? Please clarify what service is free.
That's what they did for me. They took the TV out of the box, plugged in the stand that came with it and set it on my media cabinet. They wouldn't attach it to my already installed wall mount

How do you know when the battery needs replacing?
I'm almost sure the apc will make a continuous high pitched noise or a random beeping noise. The instruction manual or their website will have the right answer though

I bought the acoustimass 10 and the DN 840 and YES they work together. I bought the acoustimass 5 system to complete the 7.2. Although the acoustimass 5 doesnt actually plug into the bass outlet so I can probably buy another sub. I don't think the 151 had the correct ohms or watts to work how it's supposed to. They should work, but they may blow out if you turn the volume too loud one day, or they'll blow easier than a different speaker would

NETGEAR - Push2TV Wireless Display Adapter
View visuals from your Intel® WiDi- or Miracast-capable laptop, tablet or mobile phone on your HDTV at up to 1080p resolution using this NETGEAR Push2TV adapter. Built-in dual-band Wi-Fi provides a reliable, high-speed wireless connection.
Can I use Netgear Push2TV to connect my HDTV to my Toshiba All in One computer as a second monitor
I have a Toshiba All in One computer that has HDMI in but no out. The TV has an HDMI port (I just purchased both). I am told I can't use the HDMI connection to make the TV a second monitor because I don't have HDMI out. My computer has Intel WiDi and I am wondering if I use the Netgear Push2TV if it will make my TV the second monitor I want. Also, can I use the Windows 8.1 extended screen mode or will I only be able to duplicate the screen? Thank you, I appreciate your time.
You plug the push2tv adapter into the TV, not the computer. If your computer has widi then it will work fine. I haven't tried seeing if I can use it as a second monitor though. I only use it to duplicate my screen

Thank you very much!
search "unlocked iphone" on the website, buy the phone outright from whichever carrier you want, or buy it used or somewhere else. Any of these options will be more expensive because you have to pay the full price of the phone
