Works as intended. You have to remove the clear plastic part so two of the cables can be plugged in to the NES Classic at the same time. The extension are a big help. I don't have to go cross-eyed now on my 65" TV.

The main issue that I have is that the controller cable are too short. Besides that it works really well. None of the games provided are violet per-say but some are spooky/scary according to my 3 year old. However games like excite-bike are very entertaining and easy to play for a young kid. I purchased the edge joystick but I was recalled due to it not working. If they ever come out with one that works, I would recommend that controller to younger kids. It's much easier to use for them due to the large buttons

This is my first robot vacuum. I have been using this robot as a primary vacuum for a few months now and has been working extremely well. The vacuum seems to pick up everything, with the exception of some dust in curved corners. It cleans under chairs and couches too. The first time I used it it came back covered in cobwebs (like a Halloween decorated robot). I have a kid and it works really well picking up items that are stuck to tile floor like play-doh or a small candy. You do have to pre-check the area to see if their are items that the vacuum will get stuck to. Things like pulling out the chairs in the breakfast area or picking up toys. The vacuum has tank tracks and is able to tilt if it get stuck. However, if you leave something out like a toy, the vacuum tends to go over it, freak-out, and get stuck. Also it does not work on very high pile carpet. I have a "shag" rug and it jams on that rug. But I had other vacuums jam in that rug as well. Neato includes a magnetic strip to prevent the vacuum going into an area of your choice. However the strip does not hold very well and I'll notice the robot moving it around before realizing it's the magnetic strip. I have built a little fort for the shag carpet and use the strips when I need to do a specific area. The filter is not washable but it last a very long time. I let my friend try it out and he seemed to like it as well. He has multiple pets with carpet as his primary flooring. It picked up a large amount of hair. It didn't pick up some hair balls that were on the service of the carpet. However he told me that most vacuums he used were not able to pick up that type of dog hair. He only is able to get that pick up by a Dyson Animal or a high quality pet vacuum. Even with all the small issues, it has saved me so much time when cleaning around my house. Maids/Cleaning services charge $50 minimum for a basic cleaning per session (vacuum the house and wiping down counter tops). Even with replacement filters, it pays for itself in less than a year compared to getting a maid to come by twice a month for vacuuming.

This add on tool is extremely convenient. It does a awesome job on the blinds and window sills/aprons. The dust doesn't fly everywhere like other attachments. And since it's longer than most adapters, it takes much less time to clean blinds.

Have a home with carpet in one of the rooms. The carpet takes a good amount of abuse. I had to shampoo the carpet but since it has been extremely humid where I live recently, the carpet wasn't able to dry fast enough. Even with blowers in the room it took about half a day. After drying, I spread the Zorb and used a broom to work the product into the carpet. It feels like wet sawdust. Waited about 45 minuets and vacuumed it up. Carpet smelled fresh. Since the carpet was cleaned, I don't know whether or not it works on removing stains.

I had an issue. I had a TV in the master bedroom with horrible TV reception. I tested with multiple antennas for the TV. The ones that are amplified, the ones that are giant fly swatters, bunny ears; I even put one outside the window and it didn't really work. I also noticed that the attic has a radiant barrier which explains the loss of wifi and cell signal. So I was given the assignment of FIXING this issue.
What I had to do is run a line from the inside, to the outside of the, then run it up, wrap around the house to get access to the attic above the bedroom, go in there and find a way to run it up through the crevices of the second floor (the master does not have a second level on-top of it), then run it to the main attic, run the line to the other side of the house, and connect it to a splitter to the outdoor antenna I have on the roof (that antenna works really well for the game/ theater room). Also I live in Houston, so its 80 to 90 percent humidity and probably 140 degrees in the attic during this time of year.
... Or buy a tablo and a wifi repeater...
The instructions in the Tablo box are pretty straight forward. It’s about the size of two Apple TV’s put side-by-side. It requires Ethernet, antenna, and power. Plug it in and download the Tablo app to my phone and set up the unit there. The set up was not flawless but after I reset the unit everything started to work correctly. The interface is looks just like a TV guide from u-verse (simple and easy to use).
I have a Roku stick on the bedroom TV. So I just downloaded the App after the set up and I was golden. The Wifi signal was low in the room so the Tablo would work for about a minute and then the channel would freeze and re-stream every other minuet. I purchased a Range extender and that issue is gone. It also works on my Apple TV and iPads.
The load time for when you click the live TV channel to it actually appearing ranges from 5 to 15 seconds. I've tested it out and with 5Ghz AC Wifi I can run 4 devices with the SAME channel at once with-out issues (A Roku stick, iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, and a Apple TV). You can also watch 2 different channels at the same time. I've been able to stream two devices on one channel and two devices on another without issue. Recording is super easy. Google "Tablo Hard Drive" and they pretty much give you a list of what works with it. I can record any of the baseball games I miss when I have to work in the weekends. Or finally my crazy idea where I put a freaking 19 inch TV in the restroom so I will NEVER miss a goal again during football and soccer season.

My older disk drive was always at 100% on writing when I had google chrome and word running. I like the easy transfer software kit included and really did make the transfer easy. I didn't realize that my laptop was SATA II and not SATA III so I don't have blazing fast transfer speeds, but my goodness is it an improvement. Windows restarts in seconds, applications oppen up in seconds, everything is super fast.

Liking this speaker a lot. The sounds is great for such a small size. It's heavier than it looks due to the weather proofing. I bought this for when I work outside on the yard or when working on a car and not have to worry about the humidity or random rain hurting the unit.

I need to be able to sync. audio to video on iMovie..
Will this recorder provide a straight-foreword solution to synchronizing audio to my drone video using iMovie on my Mac, or would I really need a patch - program ?
If you set up the files as mp3 format, it should play nice with iMovie. The software the Sony comes with is for organizing your recordings and basic audio editing. Remember that the audio is only mono. I haven't used iMovie in a long time so I don't remember how hard syncing audio can be. I would try youtube and look on a how to guide. If you're having issues I would recommend trying Adobe premiere pro demo and see if you like it. I have used this program to sync audio to HD video and works really well, but it's pricey.

how does laser print cartridges compare to ink jet cartridges in overall cost?
The regular filled toner will cost about $60 (Brother Brand Toner) and print 2500 pages. That's about 2 cents per page for black and white. If you do color its about 10 cents per page.
Remember that you can purchase third party toner with a higher capacity at a lower cost, but you will lose some quality in color prints.

Best dslr lens for canon rebel XTi in low light gymnasium sports?
I have a Canon XTi that I have used for years taking sports, vacation and family pictures. With my kids in high school sports and horrible gym lighting I am frustrated! What is the best lens to use for indoor sports, low light that won't break the bank??
it's not the lens you need to worry about. It's the lighting. Are you using the wimpy flash that comes with the camera? If you are then you need to consider in getting a better, stronger flash that can travel the distance and help with the lighting.

what does SLR mean after Digital
I see cameras that are Digital SLR. I don't know what the SLR stands for.
single lens reflex. It means that when you look at the eyepiece, that is the exact "frame" that will come out with out any modifications due to the camera cropping or digital modification. Some of the new compact SLR's don't really do have one thought like the mini sony slr.
