The all-new thinner and lighter design makes iPad 2 even more comfortable to hold. It's even more powerful with the dual-core A5 chip, yet has the same 10 hours of battery life.1 With two cameras, you can make FaceTime video calls,2 record HD video and put a twist on your snapshots in Photo Booth. And the iPad Smart Cover attaches magnetically and wakes up, stands up and brightens up your iPad 2.3

What's great about it: slim light
What's not so great: screen bleeds, no flash, slow multi tasking, price, look, no USB, non user replacable/upgradable parts.
This thing is slow for any multi tasking in comparison to android tablets my friends have recently purchased. This device is outdated arleady - it costs more than the better new tablets out there, and has far far fewer features. I will be selling mine shortly online to get some honeycomb action.
EVERY website I am interested in still uses flash, and since flash has been moving towards GPU acceleration and been getting more efficient I dont see it dying out as fast as apple thinks. And no, I am not going to download the app for every website I goto that occasionally has a flash video embedded.
I cannot wait for windows 8 tablets in a few years. The future is promising for these devices, and as usual apple will be behind in features, while every other company pounces ahead, if apple didnt make the tablet popular someone else would have - and done it right.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: air flow, speed of install, price
What's not so great: pole is a little soft - not ridgid enough
I used this to replace the northbridge chipset fan on my computer because the intel DX58SO board comes with a horrible sounding fan. This fan is silent in comparison, and I can flex the fan right over the chipset for perfect airflow probably better than the tiny fan the board came with stock. This is easy to install, just remove a mobo screw, slip the base of the fan under and screw the mobo screw back in.
Video attached to this review is over 2 years ago when I bought this fan, so don't make fun of the now out of date components, things have changed a lot.

This game is awesome, and I love the focus on the Subaru Impreza. I wish DiRT 3 didnt switch over to a focus on the ford fiesta, which hasn't won anything amazing yet. Used game came in like new shape, but half the competitions used price.

Seems to be the best value for ink out there. Only competition would be the Kodak printers, but those arent single tanks, so when yellow goes dead first (most colors take yellow to make), then you have to buy a new cartridge and replace them all.

What's not so great: could be even cheaper??
I have a canon MX870, and this ink makes great looking photos, and lasts a lot longer than my previous HP printer with separate "Model 02" ink tanks. Good value, for me and I do a LOT of photo printing.

What's great about it: small
What's not so great: expensive
In the past I found that the ink is phased out quickly on these mini printers. It is also a pain to be unable to print large photos. Even if it is small, I wouldn't call it portable, so why not just stick to a larger printer with a second paper feeder for photo paper?
The print quality is great though, but it is similar to the newer all in one printers out there which also happen to put more ink in the cartridges (or offer XL versions with more ink).
ITs about average in speed with the canon MX870 printer.

What's great about it: size, price, upgradable
What's not so great: battery life is not great compared to an ipod
Pretty easy to lose this thing! I had accidently set it on European instead of USA, and apparently the volume is limited to ~1/2 and I was going to return the thing angry. Then after researching, I realized it was because it was on EUR that the volume was so low and reset the thing.
Works great, the sound quality seems on par with the ipods - so average. The size makes it a great gym player with no need for additional accessories.

I have had good luck with promark in comparison to VicFirth sticks for durability. I have gone through several pairs of these and haven't had an early break or split nylon tip yet. (Early break meaning it isn't gnawed down to nothing when it breaks).

Can the Subwoofer be connected to AV Receiver Subwoofer preamp out?

It is not meant to be used this way, but technically if you had a RCA to 3.5mm adapter you could. It is a standalone system not meant for this though but it wouldnt hard it. This subwoofer is very easily strained so for the price you could find a better powered subwoofer instead of using this set in a way it isnt meant to be used.

Would it be possible to use this sound system to connect to an mp3 player to create my own little bedside stereo system if I wanted to?

yes, just plug its 3.5mm jack into your phone/mp3 player, it would do a great job for most bedrooms. You could spend more and get a system with bluetooth so you could have a wireless connection, but bluetooth degrades the sound quality a bit.

At this point your hard drive is most likely defective, but without running a hardware test it could be anything from bad memory to a defective logic board.

I have seen cameras with the description you gave sent out to precisicon camera (Best Buy camera service center on the east coast) and come back repaired rather than junked out for replacement. It likely is fixable as long as it wasnt water damage.

What is the best compact camera for people who blink a lot during pictures?

What is the best compact camera for people who blink a lot during pictures? I have Cerebral Palsy and I seem to blink whenever it flashes. I need the camera to fit in a purse/pocket, to take good quality pictures, and I post a lot of them online and take a lot of pictures at concerts with stage lighting. I have bought and tried a Fujifilm FinePix A900 camera and a Nikon S220 camera. I always blink when I use the Fujifilm FinePix A900 camera and the Nikon S220 camera takes bad pictures.
A lot of cameras have various flash settings. Most of the time turning on a red eye only flash (option on panasonic cameras) will only show one flash exactly when the picture is taken so you will blink right after,

Is the battery replaceable?

I have been told that when the rechargeable battery wears out, it cannot be replaced, so you have to buy a new unit. Can someone confirm this please.
This is true, and the best way to avoid this is purchasing a warranty on the unit so it can be replaced if this occurs.
