I am so impressed with the mk320 that I am about to purchase a 3rd one. They work perfectly with a PC or Mac although the Mac will ask to identify the keyboard. What is most impressive is the mouse in that it works on glass, I also own a Logitech Anywhere Mouse because I have a glass desk but without realizing it I was using the mouse from the mk320 on the glass desk to setup a computer for my grand children. The point here is the cost of the mk320 is half the cost of the Anywhere mouse so just for the mouse alone its well worth the cost. If any of my 3 Anywhere mouse ever fail I would just replace it with the mouse from the mk320. They keyboard is ok I just wish it had two Windows Keys on either side of the space bar for an Amiga Retro project I am working on but you can't have everything. Over all this is an excellent value at a fantastic price point. You really can not go wrong with the mk320!

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Grip of Death for left handed users
This is by far the best phone I have ever owned. Prior to this I owned an HTC EVO and Loved it then I switched to a Samsung Galaxy SII and was not overly impressed with the phone. The screen is awesome and responsive with no noticeable lag. The apps load fast. The signal quality is way better then my Samsung Galaxy SII. I have yet to play with the camera but I need a camera for low light areas so this was a plus. The Galaxy SII has a great camera but it was the only feature I actually liked about it.
The phone does get warm when used for long periods of time but quickly cools off when not active. If you hold the phone in your left hand it will interfere with your cell phone reception. I verified this but I hardly ever hold the phone and talk as I am a heavy BT user.
The speakers are amazingly loud compared to my other cell phones. I wish this has a kickstand but its not a deal breaker. The quality of this phone is outstanding and its not bloated with applications you will never use.
I am fortunate to have 4G LTE in my area and its a major improvement over 3G and the 4G WiMax was just awful.
Many complain about the low profile of the buttons but I actually appreciate the low profile because they are not easily triggered when in my case like the Galaxy SII which use to change the volume on my calls when it was in my case with the buttons faced down.
I assume the Galaxy S4 is an awesome phone but because the Galaxy SII was not a good experience for me I decided to go back to HTC. This is actually my 3rd HTC Device and I have no regrets and would recommend this phone to anyone especially if they are in a 4G LTE coverage area.
While the battery life is acceptable its not quite up to the advertised spec because when you run apps and actually have the screen active it does consume the battery. No having a user replaceable if somewhat of a concern but I have never used a phone more then 2 yrs and typically I get a high capacity battery to increase phone time. Still overall the battery does last the day and over time that will degrade as is the case with all batteries..
Not having the ability to insert an SD Card was a concern but if needed I can always connect a flash drive to the phone and do the same thing but with online storage so abundant its not a deal breaker and the 32GB of storage in the phone is more then enough to hold all my apps and data leaving plenty of room. Besides without rooting and updating the ROM you can't move apps to SD so why risk bricking a phone for that so the 32 GB of RAM should be more then enough. I never need to store movies and music on my phone because I can access that content off my servers thus increasing the usefulness of the phone even more.
If you have a home server running the right software you can expand you experience with this or any smart phone. Its all good stuff for sure.
This product is... Replaced my MP3 player, Easy navigation, Tough/durable, Good video quality, woud rather use this then my tablet
About me... My phone is my life, Heavy texter, Heavy apps user, Business Professional, Need phone to keep me organized

Motorola - ELITE SLIVER Bluetooth Headset
This Motorola ELITE SLIVER 89503N Bluetooth headset features a stylish, compact design for comfortable wear. HD Audio Plus ensures crystal-clear communication, and the extended range lets you roam up to 300' away from your phone during calls.

What's great about it: Compact - Works well in loud enviroments
What's not so great: Motorolas Specs are way off
I have been using this headset now for about 1 month. I work in noisy environments and with other headsets I can not hear incomming phone calls or phone conversations were often difficult. With this headset I can hear incomming calls and the noise reduction allows others to hear me. However the noise reduction feature requires you to download the Motorola Software. I use my headset with a Samsung Gallaxy S2.
The specs indicate the headset is good for upto 15 hrs which is misleading because its only good for about 4 hrs of talk time. The specs indicate is has a 300' range but it should say 30'.
Turning it on and off is simple enough but I find that sometimes it will not turn on. Often when I hang up the phone starts playing music from my SubSonic App.
For the most part I do like the device because its functional in my work envoroment but can not recommend it to others at the current price point. For those who complain about noise reduction its controlled by the downloadable software from Motorola but its not exacly the easiest thing to work with because the Noise Reduction and Equalizer options tend to appear and dissapear for no apparent reason but once its set there is no real need to adjust it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: USB2 and eSATA Connectivity - Simple to use - Hot Swappable
What's not so great: Still trying to discover that
I work with many hard drives both 2.5" and 3.5" and have always had to open a case and install drives to work on them especially if you want to reimage a drive or recover data off a drive. This puppy lets you do it external and you only have to open the case once not twice. The uses for this thing are left only to ones imagination.
No drivers to load, just plug it in an play. I tell you that you can not get any simpler then this and the USB Port is standard size not like those MINI USB ports that always wear out and give you problems down the road.
Only one thing is when undocking a drive, let it spin down before removing or the drive will send you hand for a ride. And its a weird ride too. Now if I can only find one to work with PATA drives I will be jumping for joy.

will this work on a 2009 55 in LG 55 LH 90 tv
will this work on a 2009 55 in lg 55 lh 90 tv
While I can not answer your specific question regarding your TV I can tell you that I have used other Logitech Wireless devices with Western Digital Media Extenders without issue. I believe if your TV has support for keyboards and allows for USB Keyboards then you should give it a try. I can tell you also that if it doesn't work on the TV the mk320 is a very good keyboard/mouse combination for any PC or MAC especially if your currently using wired devices.

WD velociRaptor 160GB
Is this a good Hard Drive, The 160GB seems a bit small? any comments would be appreciated.
Its a good drive and fast too plus you pay extra for the performance. Its only small depending on what you do with your computer. For me I can consume that drive fairly quickly but I know others who would never exceed half that drive.
If you look at what your doing now and how much space your using then you will be better able to figure out your needs. There is a time and a place for large and small drives. But everyone is different in their needs so its very difficult to provide you with an answer.

Netbook HD upgrade
Will a faster speed and larger than OEM hard drive shorten the battery life and create more heat?
Its possible a faster drive may consume more power and generate more heat. There are green drives which spin at a slower rate, consume little power and still can transfer 3 GB/s. The newer green drives should help increase your batter life but things like WIFI and your screen put more of a drain on your battery then the hard drive.

Hard Drive for Dell Dimension 4600
When I logged into Dell's site and clicked on the "find parts for your computer" it suggested some SATA hard drives. I bought one, but when I opened the case, the connections are different. Doesn't appear to be a SATA drive in there. Anyone know what kind of drive I have? More importantly, have I wasted my time buying this SATA drive?
Some Dells can take either IDE or SATA Drives. Its easy to see what your computer can take just enter the BIOS and check out the Drive Configuration. IDE Drives take a wide 40 Pin Ribbon Cable while SATA Drives have a small data connector and a wide power connector.

WHAT HD FOR DELL DIMINSON 2400?
Dell Lists your drive only as and IDE drive. Today those are called PATA. You will want a 3.5" PATA Drive but sometimes its listed as EIDE.

I tried looking up your Laptop on Dells Web Site but its somewhat of a Challenge. Your hard drive appears to be a 2.5" PATA Drive and the drive your asking about wd2500 BEVERTL will work just fine. Nice drive too.

Replacement Hard Drive for Dell Inspiron 530
I need to replace the hard drive for my Dell Inspiron 530. I need to know which hard drives are available for that computer.
I looked on Dells Website and your Inspiron takes an SATA Drive. Your system supports both 1.5 and 3.0 GB/s Drives and it looks like you have 4 SATA connections on your motherboard but only 2 3.5" drive bays to accomodate the Hard Drives. Best way to replace the drive is to install and image it. If you happen to have a Windows Home Server and you have been backing up that computer then you can install the drive and restore the computer from the server in about 40 mins.
My recommendations for hard drives are Western Digital Green Drives that are EADS Drives not the EARS Drives which are advance format. So verify this when purchasing. I also recommend Hitachi Desk Star but do not recommend Seagate Drives at this time because of their quality issues and failure rates.
Good Luck.

does best buy sell a internal hard drive cable to usb that contains the power plug
i need a cable that connects a internal hard drive to a usb, SATA, IDE, ATA will work, as long as it has a power plug.
but i need to buy it from best buy.
but i need to buy it from best buy.
Your question unfortunately creates other questions. For example are you working with 2.5" or 3.5" drive. What is the actual drive interface your working with and what does your computer support?
Are you looking to use the drive in a Notebook or Desktop? I would not waste much time putting a 2.5" drive in a desktop unless it had decent storage capacity and if its a PATA drive I would not bother trying to do the conversion either.
So please rewrite your question and try to be more specific about what you have for a USB Drive. Where you would like to put it and what drive interface does your computer actually support. Then your question will be much easier to answer.
Good Luck

can a laptop have 2 hard drives installed
I have only seen one notebook that can accomodate 2 hard drives and it was made by HP. To add the 2nd hard drive you needed a special connector that was not shipped with the unit.
Other then that if you want a 2nd hard drive on your notebook then you would have to add one externally which is what I do or you could simply replace the hard drive in your notebook and partition the drive. I have done both approaches and they work fine.
