What's great about it: Extra Bold!
What's not so great: There isnt a bigger box!
I've very happy with this flavor. As you may or may not know, the roasting process takes the oils and caffeine with it, out of the bean.
Light coffees have the most caffeine, and the least flavor
Dark roasts have the most flavor, and less caffeine.
Medium roasts are a balance of both. With this flavor being extra bold, that means the coffee has a finer ground, giving more flavor. I usually run my Keurig twice thru the same Kcup to fill my cup (8oz twice), and I still get the full flavor out of it.
Surprisingly, the best buy near me has the best cost on this. Most Kcups are 9.99 for an 18 count. Most other places are more expensive, including Walmart @10.99, or have only a 12/16 count.
If you are an everyday coffee drinker, I would definitely recommend this. I know there is an 80 Count box Available at Sams/Costco. however I rack up so many certificates I buy my Kcups with them.
There's no wrong way to buy a K-cup, I just hope you enjoy it :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: The integration with voice-overs and facts from Top Gear. Jeremy Clarkson's voice is easy to listen to.
What's not so great: Having to "buy" cars that are gifted.
Overall, this was definately a good choice (for me) as my day one launch game. I've always been a fan of the Forza series, and this did not disappoint me one bit. My only complaint was that all the special cars I had been gifted had to be bought using in game currency from winning races, or tokens that I could purchase. I did a little bit of both, because hey, I'm a sucker for the McClarens and Audi's.
I find it easy to get swept away with the gameplay, and it feels so natural with the xbox one controller in hand, paired with the laser trimmed accurate and realism of the cars and the tracks. It's very obvious how much work Turn 10 did on this incredible game, and you will be in awe in every moment spent in this realm. Even more so if you have an appreciation for small details. They did a very nice job here.
One nice addition is the ability to race ghosts of other players. This makes gameplay more seamless without having to constantly wait for an opponent. Yes, there is still an ability to wait around in multiplayer, but at least now we have a choice which we want to do.
If you are a virtual gearhead you can easily get lost for hours tuning your car, adjusting your upgrades, and getting every last millisecond trimmed off your lap time.
On the flipside, if you're a casual racer you can buy your car and buy tuning setups for that car that other players put together, and not spend so much time.
There's so much more to enjoy, you'll love it!

What's great about it: Compact, yet still a large screen
What's not so great: Doesn't have ALL the features. But not a big deal there.
This is a great deal, as most Sumsung are. If you're looking for a spare tv, or just one that is inexpensive, this is the way to go. Sure, its not the cheapest out there, but consider which TV will last you more than 3-4 years, then consider the cost of replacing. This one will outlast any other TV at its price range or below. After 3 years you'll be saving money.
At the same time, you get the name and quality that Samsung continues to live up to, However, with anything, whether it's quality or not, you should also get the geek squad protection. You never know when you'll need it, and its a much better and cheaper option than buying a replacement later.
This product has... Easy to set up, Great value and features for the price, Right number of connections, Easy to use remote control

What's great about it: Bang for your buck. Fast processor, Good graphics, 2nd hard drive bay, awesome price
What's not so great: No Backlit keyboard or Bluray
I shopped around for a long time and found this at a good price so I jumped at the deal. Heres what I found:
If you are looking for an inexpensive all around gaming notebook, this is it. Out of the box, it started up fast despite the windows8 setup.
I chose amd over intel because of the options. Processor is upgradable on most. However the a8 is gonna last me a while. Upgradable to 16gb ram and rhere is a 2nd hdd bay. You can buy a ssd for the main drive and really boost performance. Only catch is you have to buy a hard drive kit which I foind ranging from $30-$50
The graphics are great. I play star wars the old republic and I was getting 40-60 fps on medium setting in a busy newbie zone.

Pros:
Its a laptop, runs like a desktop.
Upgradable, CPU, Ram, HDD, Bluray Drive, and more, can all be upgraded in the future.
Runs anything out of the box. Even "Star was: the old republic"
LED Backlit Screen 1600x900
Fingerprint scanner to manage your logins

Cons:
no backlit keyboard ( the keys are dark and not being used to the keyboard I have to look at them.
No bluray drive. (But you can buy one to install)
5400 rpm drive very slow ( but im used to ssd on my desktop. Again, you can upgrade with 2nd hdd bay)
Screen isn't 1920x1080, but you won't find one at this price.

My take on this: the pros far outweigh the cons. Especially since you can eliminate most of the cons by upgrades.
Oh i read many reviews saying no virtualization support. Well thats not true, its off by default but I found the setting easily enough to turn it on.
All in all this is an amazing buy and you wont be disappointed
This product is... Good sound quality, A touch pad that works great, Big screen size, easy to set up, lightning fast, upgradable

Connecting Apple TV when both ports are used
Can I connect an Apple TV to this TV? Both HDMI ports are used to connect my wifi blu-ray and cable box. The digital optical port is used for my sound bar. Would an HDMI splitter or pigtail do the job to add HDMI ports? If so, any recommendations on which one?
No, HDMI signals cannot be split this way.
You can get a HDMI switch that works like an old A-B switch. I believe the Apple TV has an HDMI passthru that will work inline with your cable box, leaving one input free.
If this is not the case, the best option would be to get an AV Receiver that will handle your HDMI inputs.
