Great CD

What's great about it: Lots of good songs
What's not so great: ??? lol wut?
This CD is heavier than some previous ones and reminds me of their older style most. I wouldn't call this POP as BB does, it is ROCK. There are many songs on the CD I've come to like after listening through a few times. Its a great CD for the car!

What's great about it: Its universal
What's not so great: Design Flaw for Choosing polarity
So, the tips can plug into the end of the adapter either way, meaning the inside is - or + depending on how it is put on. On the side of each tip it says either + or - , except its in between the 2 pins on the back side so it doesn't say which is the outside and which is the inside. On the end of the power cord where tips attach, it doesn't say which pin is + or - either, so this adapter is based on guess and check. It says on the package it can damage your device if the polarity is wrong.. I used a battery and a motor to see which orientation was which based on the direction the motor spun.
Dont risk damaging your electronics, if you aren't sure how to figure this out on your own, I would not reccomend this product. The manuf. website offers no additional instruction, and only offers phone support with limited hours of operation.
This unit runs very hot, and the tips feel cheap and fit loose.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Download good songs
What's not so great: Half the songs aren't relevent to the united states culture.
This game failed to include songs engraved into the public. its hard to find anyone who knows the melody enough to sing the songs. But my biggest complaint is the amount of European punk rock songs they added. They are the lamest type of music for this game, drums aren't fun when its just random hitting with no real beat or groove, and it seems that generally these euro-trash/punk rock songs have terrible drum parts, awful melody, terrible lyrics and a repetitive guitar part.
I do like that the drum parts have been kicked up a notch and they have added some new patterns. In RB 1, I could sight read most of the songs on expert and pass, this game I have seen plenty I cannot sight read.
Its great to be able to download songs I know people will recognize, I just wish the game CAME with good songs in the first place.

What's great about it: price
What's not so great: quality
Ok, someone commented about it mixing stations, I dont know if you can really blame that on this. That person lived in orange country cali, where the stations are close and in high numbers.
Anyway, this dynex one does the job but it doesnt sound as good as my old belkin, I will be returning it and forking out some more dough for a different one.
The price was great, and most people probably wouldn't even notice the quality,it depends on the car speakers and car stereo/radio quality.

I dont understand why this is on here, but I have a real drumset, so with a purpose this is a great bag to keep it all organized. I dont think people have multiple sets of sticks for rockband, but you never know! Its very durable, and will last for many years to come.

What's great about it: Powerful at grabbing grease and dust/dirt particles
What's not so great: Left a smear on one screen
This product has worked beautifully on my laptop, desktop screen and TV. It has failed me once, on a friends older laptop without that gloss coating. After cleaning I could not get a streak free shine no matter how much a buffed it. It looked worse than before!! I had to take a tissue afterwards to get it clean. otherwise, the cloth it comes with feels soft, yet when rubbed against the skin it grips and grabs! Its highly effective at grabbing stuck on dirt so you dont have to use your fingernails. Only complaint about this package is it doesn't come with something small to clean the corners of a screen.

What's not so great: Price?
Im just glad they decided to release some of the songs for the PS2 owners out there. The price is reasonable considering there is no other way for us to get new content. It will definitly help hold me over till rock band 2 comes out.

4Gb is built in, you can buy a microSD card to add to the 4GB, you cannot replace the stock 4GB however.

does the player have restricted volume
is the volume set at a restricted level? i know some players only go up to 30 on the volume setting.
Reset the device and choose United states instead of UK. If you set the device to the UK and a few other countries, there is a law requiring a limit on the volume.

Do you provide insurance for laptops bought from Best Buy?
I bought a laptop from Bestbuy in Lufkin, Texas last week, and realized I will need some kind of insurance. I live in a retirement center with management that I don't trust. On assistant I believe has been stealing small items and cleaning supplies from me, and I need to know what to do to protect her from stealing my laptop. Thank you, Fran
Best buy's Black Tie Protection plans do not cover theft, however tooks such as Lojack may be helpful for you. Also, sometimes the dredit card company used for purchase can offer theft protection.

What's the difference sound system between dv7-4190us and dv7-4290us?
I have two loptops from HP; dv7-4290us and dv7-4190us.
The problem is dv7-4290us's sound system is worse than 4190us's one when I compared them even though dv7-4290 is more decent product.
is that a common? any difference sound system between those two laptops?

this is a common occurance because some laptops have a focus on looks vs. funcionality - in this case it is likely the speakers had to be shrunken down in size to fit the laptop casing and thus produce a low quality sound.

What happened to the Dell Inspiron that was sold on the Cyber Monday deals for 399?
I would like to know what model this laptop was.
Black friday/Cyber Monday specials are commonly special editions sent to the stores to sell for only a single sale event. It is very likely that the model was discontinued the day after Cyber Monday. Once sold, that is it, no more will be available. There are similar deals every week however, so keep your eyes to the weekly AD and you should be able to spot a dual core laptop with 3GB of memory for $400.

how to change battery on sony PCG-FRV25- laptop
battery looks bigger than access panels.
You may have ended up with an extended capacity battery for the laptop. They commonly stick out of the bottom a little but, but provide nearly 2x the battery life. If it really doesnt look like it will fit, you may not have the correct battery for the laptop. It would probably be best to have the geeksquad look in case; it shouldn't cost anything. Then you will know for sure that it is the right battery - without seeing it I cannot tell you how to replace it since it is very different on every laptop.

How much is a laptop wth USB port for a firewire?
"How much is a laptop wth USB port for a firewire?"
I think you may want to re-ask this question and be more specific. There is no such thing as a "USB port for Firewire", every laptop has USB ports today, however only a few have firewire ports, and honestly the best way to find out is to go into the store and look on the sides of each laptop. It shouldnt cost any more or less, it will just be random which companies put them on.

Good laptop or No
is the Compaq Presario laptop good for 299.99 or bad
That laptop has a very slow single core processor (like going back in time to 2004). It will work for typing things, and the most basic of web browsing such as checking email, but even most modern websites will make the laptop stutter and lag. Youtube for example, barely runs in standard definition, and in HD, videos look like a slideshow. If at all possible, spend the extra $50-80 and get a dual core laptop. That extra $50-80 will probably get you another 2 years of use compared to the likely 2 years the $300 laptops look to last.
