Fanstatic Simple and to the point

Overall this is a great set of headphones. Lightweight, easy to wear and setup.
- Takes about 30s to get this connected to any of your mobile devices, or a computer that supports blue-tooth. (Take you more time to read the instructions, then it does to setup).
- Loud... for a small to medium size of headphone, these pack a punch right out of the gate
- Ear pieces rotate, which make it GREAT to store FLAT in a backpack or a drawer, or while on a shelf during charging.

Maybe be a bit large for smaller children, but teenage and above should be fine in size.
Cons:
- The headband is a bit stiff, and doesn't flex much.
- Took a few seconds for it to power up, and the LED's are on the size, while the button is on the bottom. Just took a moment to realize it did turn on.
- These are NOT really designed to work out... these are to enjoy music, audio with while you are out and about, maybe at a desk. these are a bit bulky for jogging or any intense work outs.

Heart Pumping; Track it
on February 20, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
Given the time of year, I haven't been able to check out all the awesome features this wearable has. (too cold to really go distance outside right now).
It is easy to wear, and based on comparison with other devices... it measures out my heart rate. You can setup interval settings, which has been EXTREMLY beneficial for indoor training. (Great on the indoor bike).
For a health/wearable; it feels more secure then my Gen 1 Apple watch, and not as top heavy (more balanced).
For those planning to wear this all day: It will track your daily HR, your steps, and estimate your calorie burn... It also has communication sync with your watch, that is adequate... (Incoming Call, Text, and Schedule notifications)
I am EAGER for the weather to turn consistently, so I can check out the other features: GPS, POI Notification (great for bike trail layouts), and SWIMMING usage...

Everyone needs system protection software... We all get lazy and just click away sometimes (even those of us that do this for a living.
Simple download and install, able to use on ALL my devices. Catches things you don't even know could be a problem. Sometimes gets a false positive here and there, but those are easily addressible.
If you have a device connected to the internet, then you need a good piece of protection software, and this one is solid and does the job well.

Best Tool to fix and combat the computer nasties
on January 15, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
Plain and simple, I have been using Malwarebytes for almost as long as I can remember... I have used it to restore my computer to health, after it has gotten spyware or malware.
Over the years, it has kept up on curve with those that are out there trying to do your computer harm.
EASY to use... Just let it run, and it will either auto-cleanup, or give you the options to do so.
This paid-for version (There is a free version you can try out), allows you to run 24-7, so it stays up to date, and continue to monitor in the background.
They are CONSTANTLY updating the definition file, to stay up on what ever is coming out there.
Traditional "Virus" are not really a problem today... why, because everyone has anti-virus software. the bad-guys are not writing "virus" programs, they are writing programs that spy on you, or that want to lock you out, or get you to pay for something that is going to do nothing but get rid of the message that THEY put on your screen.
TRY Malwarebytes for FREE first, and then come back and get the paid for version if you are happy with what it does for your computers

Very straight forward, and quick
on December 28, 2017
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
This is as straightforward as it gets. A device that has a single task, and does it well. If you need to scan often, this small profile scanner will get the job done. When closed, this device is about the size of a standard tissue box. with the doors open (to feed in and out receipts, it is a little bigger). Connects via LAN, USB, or WiFi. So can connect to just about any computer or mobile device.
Drop the pages on (up to 40-50 at a time, depending on thickness), and let it scan away. you can add more and keep on adding in one continuous job.
Does Black and White and Color.... Easy software, easy installation.
Pros: Small in size, looks slick when there on the desk.
Fraction of the size of multi-function printers
Connects via all three popular connection methods

Cons: If doing individual receipts, the paper size shifts between different types of receipts.. can be tedious
- Can't use staples or taped documents (IE, can take your receipts and attach them to a piece of paper)

Coooool light, nice addition
on December 12, 2017
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So this light is a simple and complex as it can get at the same time. Simple to setup (open box, screw in bulb, plug in, add to app), Simple to use. Philips HUE app, or several third party apps, and you can completely use this light.
The large gum-drop shaped glob, disperses the light all over the room, and looks pretty nifty on your desk, or table.
Pros: Easy to setup and use... no issues at all. Connects right to your Philips Bridge (sold seperately). Bright, modern, and just down right an eye-catcher
Con: The lightbulb included is locked into the "cool" daylight colors, this isn't a full Philips Hue light bulb.. So no reds, greens, purple, orange. White and light blue is the range.
Pro to counter the con: The bulb isn't fully integrated and locked in, so you could swap it out for a different Philips Hue smart bulb if you wish.

Simple, Powerfull, and right to the point
on November 27, 2017
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
As soon as you open the box to this blender, you realize: IT WAS DESIGNED FOR ONE SINGLE PURPOSE.
This blender, is very straight forward and simple. Container, blade, motor. That's it. There are not 100 different attachments. There are not 20 different tops or containers. It is simply to blend your drinks and soups.
A good sized container, with an integrated blade, sits right on top of the motor. Multiple speeds available as well as a pulse. Crushes and blends ice and other frozen items with easy.
Smaller then some of the other named brands of blenders, this should fit on most counters without taking up a lot of space.
It has a CLEAN button. So you put some water and soap in the blender, and hit the CLEAN cycle, rinse out, and you are on your way.

Good Inside, needs more for outdoors
on November 16, 2017
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So OVERALL, this is one of the better overall camera systems out there. Takes about 15 minutes to do the initial setup, including firmware updates. Needs some additional accessories, if planning to use outdoors.
Pros:
- The two cameras have extremely good video, for their small size.
- Can be used cordless, so you don't necessarily need to have wires running to them (note will have to recharge batteries)
- Sleek looking, not ugly... so noticeable, but not out of place
- Home base station, creates a separate wifi network (see cons as well). So it won't fight for network space on your home network, and makes setup straight forward.
- Allows for a USB device to hooked up to base, for local in home storage of video
- has a FREE BASIC video plan, so you can have 7 days of cloud storage at no extra cost
- Alarms and motion sensitive are good, and configurable
- Can add more cameras to the single base unit
- Comes with everything you need for INDOOR usage

Cons:
- Since it creates it's own wifi network, your are limited to the range of the base unit. So in a larger house, this can get to be a problem especially if you are going to hook cameras outdoors. No option to utilize your existing wifi network (such as a spread out eero system), to provide extended range
- Even though the cameras are weather proof, the hardware to mount outdoors is an accessory
- Powering the units outdoor full time, will require a way to get the accessory adapters, run so they are protected from the weather
- As of right now, software doesn't allow multiple "Modes" and configurations.

Needs some space, and can change on the fly
on November 14, 2017
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So overall this vacuum is a good value for the price point. It fits right into this price range, given the size power and functions. There are some quirks though, that if are coming from another brand or model, might catch you a bit.
Pros:
- It has MULTIPLE different included attachments. 5 different attachments, cover just about all combinations of needs for cleaning.
- Battery lasts longer then most others. You are going to get a fair amount done on a single charge
- Easy to get to container. The container I easily visible to see when full, and doesn't take much to change it out
- LED on floor roller is bright and allows you to see the floor especially in dark edge areas.
- Powerful vacuum to clean up just about any dry spill on any floor
- Does change from hardwood to carpet, with no interaction on users part

Cons:
- Even though listed as a pro as well... the attachments need a home. There is no storage on the vacuum itself, and the provide rack is just too small
- The wall mounting solution, is sad (reason for 1/2 star deduction). It is nothing more then a plastic hook. You still need to rest the vacuum on the floor, and basically clip it in. There is no doubt that in time, that hook is going to snap.
- The battery charging system: (other 1/2 star deduction)... It is a totally separate unit. You have to pull the battery from the vacuum, then connect it to a charging BASE, that simply comes across being way to big. it doesn't mount to the wall, you will need some decent counter (or floor) space for it
- The primary cleaning head, feels a bit "cheaper" then the rest of the unit. The plastic, seems a bit bulky and less molded then the rest of the unit.

Per Samsung's site, it states as 3D Ready.
Which means you just need the other equipment (separate), glasses, Blu-ray player, and material source
Glasses are about $20 each.

Description says it’s compatible with Windows. Is it Mac compatible ? Can’t see why it wouldn’t be. But since they don’t specify it, I would rather confirm it is before ordering
Yes it will work with a Mac. If you have an older Mac with an hdmi output, you won’t need anything. If your Mac only has usb-c outputs, you would need the matching dongle
