What's great about it: Easy to use. Easy to clean. Extraordinary variety of beverages
What's not so great: Pods can be a bit expensive
I bought the Keurig K75 as a gift to myself for Christmas, even though I have never drank a drop of coffee. And I am loving it.
I use the Keurig to make hot tea, hot cider, and hot chocolate for myself. I look forward to using it to make iced tea once the weather heats up. I also use the Keurig to make flawless cups of coffee for my guests, who rave about the quality.
One of the things I like about this particular model is that it has a reservoir that holds 72 ounces of water, obviating the need to pour water into the device every time one wants to make a hot beverage. I also like the timer feature, which allows me to set a time for the unit to shut down at night and turn itself back on in the morning. Another useful feature of this model is the ability of the user to with the push of a button select up to five different sizes of beverage, although I tend to leave it on 8 oz, and that works just fine.
If you are a coffee drinker or if, like me, you are a drinker of hot chocolate, hot tea, and hot cider -- and if you tend to drink only small amounts in a setting rather than binge drink -- you cannot go wrong with the Keurig K75. I highly recommend it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Apple - iPhone 5s 64GB Cell Phone - Space Gray (AT&T)
The highly advanced iPhone 5s features the A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, a new 8MP iSight camera, a new FaceTime HD camera, ultrafast LTE wireless, iOS 7, and iCloud. Yet it's as thin and light as ever.

What's great about it: Great selection of Apps, Great compatibility with most tech
What's not so great: Small screen, fragility, maddening keyboard, spotty call quality
My iPhone 4Ss' battery had begun to lose its ability to hold a charge. My two year contract was up. And so it was time to begin a search for a new phone.
I had been coveting the Samsung Galaxy S4 for sometime, with its larger screen. And I was ready to leave the iPhone behind, because of Apple's maddening tendency to force you to do things their way or no way at all. I experimented with the Galaxy S4, but it had enough deficiencies (inability to sync more than one Outlook Calendar and texting incompatibilities with iPhones) to make me upgrade my iPhone 4s to the iPhone 5s. And I haven't looked back.
The ecosystem provided by Apple -- especially its unmatched library of Apps -- and the iPhone 5s' compatibility with both other Apple Products and with every conceivable business system out there made it a no-brainer, even though I still have size envy whenever I see someone whip out their larger phones.
I have four complaints about my AT&T iPhone 5s. First, the screen is cartoonishly small compared to some of the other products out there right now. Rumor has it that Apple will be introducing a new, larger version sometime before the end of the year. But if size is VERY important to you, the iPhone right now is not the right way to go. Second, the iPhone is extraordinarily fragile. Fortunately, I bought AppleCare with mine, and so I was able to get a replacement (for $79) after dropping and breaking mine, even though it was in a case, just a couple months after purchasing it. If you are accident prone, absent minded, or prone to multitasking while using your phone like me, beware that the screen on this thing will break in an instant if dropped. Get a good case and buy AppleCare. Third, the "keyboard" on the iPhone is maddeningly inefficient. I rarely have been able to type a message longer than a simple sentence without having to go back and correct what I am typing over and over again. And fourth, people I am talking to over the phone often tell me that it is difficult to understand what I am saying.
If you are wedded to the Apple Ecosystem and your phone is still operating, I would strongly advise waiting a few months to see what form factor the iPhone 6 is going to take before purchasing the iPhone 5s.
This product is... Good video quality, fragile

What's great about it: Snug Fit, Lightweght, Protects iPad, Maintains form factor
What's not so great: Tends to collapse easily when used as a stand, Pricey
This is a great case. It protects the screen, the back, and the edges of the iPad Air from accidental damage like no case I have ever had for any of my previous iPads. Closing the cover always results in turning off the screen, just as advertised. The feel of the product is pleasing to the hand, and the black case, in particular, looks professional when carried into a business meeting.
I only have two complaints. First, the case tends to easily collapse when used as a stand unless one is very careful when one configures it that way. This is particularly the case when configuring it for the most acute angle that is possible. Second, the red case (which I first bought and kept for several months before replacing it with a black case) tends to get VERY dirty and is uncleanable. This is because the cases tend to collect oils from the hands after lots of handling which, in turn, allows grime to adhere to the case. It shows up big time in the red case after several months of handling. I couldn't take it anymore and finally succumbed to my OCD and bought a black case, which I trust will not show the grime quite so much.
Over all, the case is an excellent, must-have accessory for the iPad Air, though, and I would highly recommend it. If you have OCD (or are just a neatnick), though, I would recommend the black, even though it is not as stylish as some of the other colors.

Great When They Work. But Breakdown in Normal Use

What's great about it: Easy to pair with bluetooth enabled devices. Compact. Good sound. Comfortable to wear.
What's not so great: Breaks when covered with perspiration. Controls difficult to use while wearing.
I have had four of these Bluetooth headphones over the years, and I loved every one of them -- for a while. Unfortunately, though, every one of them broke after normal use.
The headphone set is advertised as sweat-proof. However, that definitely is not the case. I have used the headphones while walking around, while shopping, and while running errands. In that context, they have worked fine. Indeed, they are so lightweight that, at times, I have put them around my neck and forgotten they were there.
However, I also have used this headset while working out in the gym and while running -- both on treadmills and out on running paths. Unfortunately, I have found that after building up a sweat, the headphones stop working. Eventually, after a couple of times, the device becomes so damaged that it becomes impossible to turn it off or turn it on.
In a several instances, it took months for the sweat-induced defect to present itself, and so I had to eat the cost of the units, and replaced them at my own expense. But in the most recent instance of them breaking, I had only bought them in the last 30 days and, being a Reward Zone Member, I was able to return them for a refund from Best Buy.
As much as I like the device, I cannot recommend it unless you will not be using it while working up a sweat. I will not buy another set of these headphones. Instead, I either will look for another model that will continue to work when saturated with perspiration or I will succumb to the 20th century and resort to using plug-in headphones.
This product has... Perfect fit, Stylish, breaks too easily

Im a rare bird here, I have a iPod for my music I have a Nexus 7 tablet which runs Android and a Nokia Lumia 1020 phone which runs WP8 OS. My question is can I listen to all of these devices with just one pair of these headphones or do I have to buy the iPod/Phone/Pad for that and the Android/Windows ones to work with those?
Yes. You can use these headphones with any device that has a Bluetooth transmitter in it. You can pair it with numerous devices.
