Looks big, but not so bad... Charge a PLUS

So do you have one of the newer mobile phones that support wireless charging? Or really any modern mobile phone?
Well then you get to double dip on this charging MousePad.
When we got the box, it was MASSIVE for a "mouse pad"... really worried at first. After getting it out of the box and hooked up, really wasn't so bad.
Good surface the Corsair Gaming Mouse to be utilized, AND have your phone charging on the side. Fully support iPhoneX/8 natively, and has adapters to use for iPhone 5,6,7. Should work with Android phones as well, that support wireless charging, or you could use the adapter.
This is a great option: Keep the mouse charged over night, without thinking about it. Get your phone up to 100% while you are using the computer/gaming... Win/Win
So don't let the size on the shelf scare you away.....
As a mouse pad... well it simply does it's job. provides a smooth large surface for the optical mouse to work perfectly on.

Small, Powerfull, Quality, just a bit short
on March 26, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic

So this is my second Sony Bluetooth speaker.
The quality of this series, is just amazing.... these are NOT your average, dollar store speakers. Visually appealing, the covers, and connectors, buttons... all top notch... You may not think that is important, but after a while you will see a difference.
Very cool feature, now that I can try it out... the linking of speakers... I now have TWO speakers, linked together, playing audio from one source. This opens so many options. I am planning to even use these for a presentation from my laptop... no need for the big booster amp system.
The ONLY downside for this one, even though it has BASS emphasis.. Compared to it's big brother: SRS-XB31, the BASS isn't as noticeable. MUCH better then some of my other Bluetooth speakers, but compared to the SRS-XB31... not as good.
So if you can't afford, or don't want the bigger SRX-XB31... this is a GREAT option.

GREAT Value; Fantastic presentation tool
on March 20, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
In today's digital age, most of presentations are done via devices. And even with the biggest of tablets, still need to project.
This projector does the job great. This isn't really for the home-theater buff. This is for the non-profit, or small business, or the guy that just needs to project once and a while.
VERY easy to setup. Plug in, connect laptop or other device, turn on and boom... you have a picture.
VERY easy to setup. Plug in, connect laptop or other device, turn on and boom... you have a picture.
Auto adjusts to level as best it can, and provides easy adjustment buttons and tools. Allows you to flip and rotate the image too, depending on how you plan to project.
3300 lumes is pretty darn bright, and you won't have to turn the lights out in the room.
THE ONLY negative, is that the optical zoom, is a little on the low side. for bigger displays you are going to have to give the projector some room to project... But at this price point, that isn't all that bad.
Comes with a simple carrying case, which is a plus.

This is a mini powerhouse in a compact size.
Great and loud sound from your phone, or other blue tooth connected device.

Conceputally Great; But Needs More
on March 12, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
Conceptually, this is exactly what every home needs. In today's age of our fully connected home, we need a device similar like this to provide a first line of defense. This will NOT replace your Anti-Virus/MalWare, and most certainly does not eliminate the need for common sense and diligence on your part as a user.
However, it will help close some gaps on hardware and users that are not 100% up to date and use good online techniques.
This system does get complex to use, sometimes a lot of steps to get things working completely. First of all, it does not work in a setup like my home. I have a more complex setup, with a dedicated router, switches, different devices for DHCP control, and a multi-node eero system. I had to work around some of those issues, to get this up and running.
This system is BEST designed for someone that has a SINGLE WiFi/Router setup, which 80% of the users shopping at BestBuy will have.
Other Negatives:
- One to Three different apps needs to be installed on your mobile device, to FULLY utilize the system....
- Does NOT filter websites, for iOS (Apple Devices), which is very disappointing.. that is a critical feature for our house.
- Takes multiple steps to setup, and can take a lot of time if you have many devices.

Pro's
- Has a good WiFi performance, comparable to other WiFi routers
- Does work well to control Device Time and limits (aka, you can block users from certain hours of the day)
- Some configuration can be done via a full web page, so you can adjust remotely (aka if you are at work or traveling)

it is also visually appealing, good look for something sitting on your counter.. modern in appearance.
Despite it's overly complex setup which will overwhelm many people, this is a great step forward in this type of technology and a good foundation for the next versions.

Fanstatic Simple and to the point
on March 9, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
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

3D Ready
January 28, 2016
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.

Keep enemies out of your room with this fully animated Spider-Man toy. His LED eyes light up when he detects movement with his motion-detection technology, and speech recognition lets him engage in two-way conversations. Hook this Spider-Man toy up to the Internet via Wi-Fi for new adventures, missions and updates.
So for $149 you get a colored Spere that makes noise and lights up.... is it really THAT cool?
Actually... Yes... It is a just a fun toy/gadget to have on your desk. Setup up some alarms, goof around with.

Is it worth the Ninja Coffee Bar Thermal Carafe System, Stainless Carafe (CF 097) over the CF091? The CF091 has a glass carafe than can stay heated in the warming plate vs the CF097 that has a thermal carafe. Trying to decide if it's worth the extra $$
That really depends on what you are going to use the Thermal carafe for... if you are going to take it with you, or travel... or take it and put it out on a table... then yah... it would e worth it. But if you are really never going to move the Carafe from the heating pad, except to pour... then no need.
