I'm really enjoying this keyboard I purchased it for the media PC that I have in the bedroom. Prior to this I had a small keyboard and separate Mouse which where nearly impossible to use while sitting or laying in bed. This all-in-one keyboard makes it simple to navigate the interface regardless of what position you are in bed. The only thing that it is missing is a backlight. However Logitech does make a version with the backlight which is more expensive, considering the phenomenal deal I got on this version I can live without the backlight.

I use these cards in my security cameras and have had good results in recording 720 video. The card can hold 4-5 days worth of video and it just overwrites the old files. So far I've had no failures or corrupted files using these cards.

This device has been around for years and has proven itself in the casting Arena as your go-to guy for sending stuff to your display easily, quickly and with beautiful picture quality. When Google added the assistant to the mix with all of its additional capabilities it made then device an even stronger contender in the smart casting category. I love the ease of use, the ability to cast from any device be it a PC, Android phone or iPhone. I don't believe there is an easier way to get your stuff from your device to your television than with the ubiquitous Chromecast. That said it does have its downsides there really are no built in apps and it doesn't support a direct remote control like the Amazon Fire devices or Roku Etc. So if you're looking for that sort of interface you will need to purchase one of the aforementioned devices the beauty of it is that most televisions have multiple HDMI ports so you can run many smart and casting devices to one television to get the best of many different worlds. Keep in mind if you have a 4K TV and want to stream 4K content you will need to move up to the Chromecast Ultra which costs more and provides the higher resolutions.

Amazon seems to have a winner here this device is small powerful and fast while keeping the cost down. If you're looking to turn your dumb TV into a smart TV this is probably your best choice as Amazon's Streaming Stick covers most of the online services. The picture quality and the interface are both well thought-out and easy to navigate. If you have a Prime membership there are a lot of free things to view however as we all know Amazon is here to sell sell sell so many of the things you may want to watch require an additional subscription or have to be purchased or rented. In that vein I like the Chromecast better since it's easier to stream your own stuff or web stuff using that device versus the fire stick. Also if you have a 4K TV and want to watch that type of content you will need to move up to the more expensive and larger Fire TV device. Watch for the sales I got this one during the Black Friday week for $24 can't beat the price for what you get.

Google has several things going for this tiny smart speaker. The sound quality is much better than on the Alexa mini devices however it doesn't have the ability to connect an external speaker via a plug or Bluetooth which is a big detraction. There is also no comparison between the Smart's of Google Assistant versus Alexa's very limited responses and knowledge when it comes to answering questions. However the Alexa assistant, in my opinion, is better at controlling smart home devices. Give Google a little time and they will catch up and probably surpass Amazon. For now if you want a better sounding mini smart speaker that can answer your random questions more accurately stick with the Google mini but if your main concern is controlling your smart home then the Alexa Mini is it better return on your investment. As a side note I own six Alexa Minis and two Google Minis and have put them head-to-head so my assessment is accurate.

It's a pretty good album it's got all the hits performed live not the best sound quality but that's probably cuz they're all recorded live. If you like old school Journey and want to own their hits and enjoy the raw sounds of a live recording this is for you.

I'm using this drive on my Windows Home server for client backups. My old drive died. I popped this one in and restored the client backups from the server backup and I was up and running again.
The drive is 7200 rpm but runs cool and works very well. I find that my client backups and server backups run a bit faster with this new drive.

my pc runs on windows vista and i want to upgrade it to win 7 as well as acquire a new hard drive...what could you recommend?

Spend the extra money (around $139) and purchase a Crucial 500Gb SSD. You'll thank yourself when your boot times drop below 10 seconds and your applications POP on the screen. At this point spinning discs should only be used for storing data not as your primary drive.
